LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 11-20-84 PAGE 5 The Plans are in for plan review and there is no reason to change that schedule. If the grant is amended to cover the increased cost at the same participating percentage as had been done in the past for other projects, the average cost is still within the range given at public hearings. We will continue to urge the PCA to make a preliminary ruling prior to bid opening. Regarding the interim financing, the County and the Bond Consultant want to set the bond amount at the December 4, 1984 meeting. Since there will probably be insufficient time for the Council to meet prior to this date, the Bond Consultant recommended the City's previous motion requesting a bond amount of $325,000 be changed to read as follows: "not less than $325,000 or such larger amount as determined by the finance program as set forth to Washington County regarding the finance requirements". M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - To amend the motion from the 2-7-84 City Council minutes (6A) to read: "not less than $325,000 or such larger amount as determined by the finance program as set forth to Washington County regarding the finance requirements". (Motion carried 5-0). The Engineer elaborated on the comments made by John Schiltz (see above 4 - Public Inquiries). Mr. Schiltz stated that the comment had been made that this grant provides for 94% of the construction costs for sanitary sewers or a treatment plant, or whatever would be necessary, and the grant would pay for it. That is true only if a sanitary sewer and a treatment plant were considered to be the least costly alternative for solving the problem. In Lake Elmo's case that did not turn out to be true. It turned out that upgrading the septic systems was cheaper in both first -costs and maintenance. 6. City Council Reports A. Christmas Party Update - Fraser Fraser reported that the Christmas mugs are ready, and John Schiltz of the Lake Elmo Inn is willing to provide the refreshments at a cost of approximately $375. She further suggested Friday, December 14th as the date for the Christmas Party from 4:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. B. Other 7. City Administrator's Report A. Public Hearing (continued for 11-7-84) for consideration of Ordinance 7964, amending the Surface Water Ordinance, in conformance with R84-44. Pat Sinclair, 8164 Hill Trail North asked if the 930.25 level that was set for Lake DeMontreville was going to be changed. What is being proposed is that during periods of high water on Lake Jane when the level of that lake reaches 924.0, or when Lakes Olson and DeMontreville reach 930.25 the City of Lake Elmo can, upon notifying the Washington County Sheriff, impose a slow no -wake speed on Lakes Jane, Olson and DeMontreville. Such restrictions shall
