LAKE ELMO COUNCIL MTG - 1/17/84 Page three l lawsuits, more than an engineering decision. (Eder - But I don't think the committee is going to solve that; the County has to say how many dollars they're going to put up and then we can find the solution to any of the problems.) e Ayers - Ramsey County has indicated to us they will not pay two-thirds of the cost of the system since it affects and benefits Washington County residents only, so we want to open up the lines of negotiation and communication which this committee would do and that would be on record since very little is officially on record at present. • Bohrer - My advice would be that Lake Elmo, in conjunction with Lake Elmo residents, define what we feel is the extent of the problem. • Eder - Lake Elmo ought to make a recommendation on how to solve this by itself and take it to the County Board. M/S/P Morgan/Eder that Lake Elmo ask the County Board not to appoint an advisory committee, but that Lake Elmo take it upon itself to develop such a committee, meet with the residents, and make a recommendation to the County Board within the next month. (Carried 4-0) 5. RESIGNING COMMISSION MEMBERS - M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn to adopt RESOLUTIONS R-84-16, R-84-17, and R-84-18 offering appreciation and thanks to William Peterson, Ed Nielsen, and Dave Morgan for their contribution to the Lake Elmo Planning Commission, Lake Elmo Park Advisory Commission and Lake Elmo Park Advisory Commission, respectively, for their respective terms. (Carried 3-0; Morgan abstain) 6. COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS - M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to appoint alternate Charles Graves to a regular position on the Lake Elmo Planning Commission and to appoint alternate Ed Stevens to a regular position on the Lake Elmo Park Advisory Commission. (Carried 4-0) 7. ENGINEER'S REPORT - A. 201 State Grant Offer - (Ref: TKDA, Larry Bohrer letter dated 1/10/84.) M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to adopt RESOLUTION R-84-20, accepting the State grant offer of $48,429.00. (Carried 4-0) B. VBWD 509 Report - Klaers reviewed the Park Commission's motion made at their 1/16/84 meeting which reluctantly recommended Alternate -II and noted their concerns as to (a) what is going to happen in two-year time span before implementation and (b) the increasing water level in Sunfish Park which is taking up more and more parkland. They recommended piping/ditching up to Sunfish Lake and then making study to see if pumping Lake Jane water is more economically feasible than the completion of a piping system from Lake Jane to Sunfish Lake.' • Bohrer - The West Lakeland Town Board reluntantly chose Alternate -II at a meeting last week since it was a more permanent solution but encouraged the managers to look at a more permanent solution, i.e., moving the water all the way to the St. Croix River. Alternate -II would make all seepage disposal in West Lakeland Township. • Morgan - Only concern is if route through Eagle Point had been thoroughly explored and would it be less costly. (Klaers - Dick Murray indicated this option was dropped because it cost more than Alternate -II and a Metro Council report said Lake Elmo could become contaminated.) (Bohrer - More costly because total length of pipe is less in Alternate -II.)
