August 1, 1984 To: City Council Members From: Pat Klaers, City Administrator Re: Informational Material for August 7, 1984 Meeting 1. Attached for your information is the most recent City Newsletter dated July 24, 1984. This Newsletter edition highlights articles on the boat ban being lifted on Lakes DeMontreville and Olson ; and the upcoming Huff & Puff Days celebration. 2. Wish to acknowledge that as of Friday, July 27, 1984, the boating restrictions have been removed for Lake Jane . On this date, the City was informed by VBWD member, Dick Murray, that the level on Lake Jane had gone below the 924 mark listed in the resolutions restricting boating activity. 3. A very complimentary letter from Larry Nelson to our Building Official, James McNamara is attached for your information. With all of the complaints and problems that we hear at City Hall, it is nice to get a letter of a different flavor once in a while. 4. In mid -July, the City was approached by Mrs. Walter Hartman who lives directly east of Tablyn Park about the possibility of the City being interested in purchasing her land as a future expansion site of Tablyn Park . Mrs. Hartman has approximately 4-1/2 acres of land, plus a house and accessory structures on this site. I approached the Parks Commission with this proposal at its July 16, 1984 meeting, and they responded with a resounding lack of enthusiasm. The Parks Commission did not see a need for this land or how this land could be utilized by the public as park land. Furthermore, they are keenly aware of the lack of funds that are available for additional land purchases. Unless I hear otherwise at the City Council table on August 7, I will inform Mrs. Hartman of the City's position (no interest) regarding the possible purchase of her land. 5. Attached for your information is a Mn/DOT news release announcing an informational meeting that will be held at the Stillwater Senior High School on Wednesday, August 15, 1984 beginning at 7:30 p.m. regarding the new St. Croix river crosing near Stillwater The Senior High School is located at 523 West Marsh. 6. City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, has informed me that the July 28, 1984 informational meeting on the 201 Program for the residents that are participating in this sewer improvement program was a success . Well over one-half of the people notified attended this informational meeting and Larry was busy from start to finish with answering questions from the residents. A further report will be given to the City Council from Larry Bohrer during the 8-7-84 council meeting.
