LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4-17-84 PAGE 4 M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To adopt Resolution 84-31, a resolution accepting the plans and specifications for the Jane Road North Improvement Project as prepared and amended by the City Engineer, and requesting that this project be advertised for bids. (Motion carried 5-0) Regarding the section of Jamaca that remains unimproved (about 300 feet), Bohrer stated that no public hearing was held so if it is going to be an assessed project we could not proceed without a hearing. There is the possibility that if the bids come in favorably, that amount could be added by change -order. If the amount was to be assessed, there would have to be a public hearing. If it's going to be a City project, paid out of City funds, a hearing is not needed and all that would have to be done is a change order to the contract. The Council has not ordered the work done. E. 201 Status - Step 2 Update The Council reviewed the letter from the Engineer dated April 12, 1984, in which he provided a status report of the Step 2 design and requested an extension of time to complete the design phase, citing early fall freeze-up which prevented completion of all of the soil testing in 1983. M/S/P Eder/Morgan - To authorize the City Administrator and Mayor to sign Amendment #1 requesting an extension of time to complete Step 2 of the 201 Project until July 7, 1984.

M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To direct the Engineer to prepare an estimate for a two inch overlay and send that information to the Parks Commission, and to prepare plans and specifications for new color coat, crack sealing, and leveling for the tennis courts, not to exceed $5,500. (Motion carried 5-0) 7. City Council Reports: A. Flood Levels The Council reviewed the Engineer's letter of April 11, 1984, regarding the possible expansion of the original Project 1005 petition. The Council is very concerned about the high water levels on Sunfish Lake and the Council would not view favorably a request to raise the high water level on City Park Pond, and instructed the managers to look someplace else to pump the water using their own administrative funds. INTERVIEWS FOR VACANCY ON PLANNING COMMISSION: Rosemary Armstrong, Dorothy Lyons, and Lee Rossow appeared before the Council and reiterated their reasons for wanting to serve on this Commission.
