Informational Memo December 28, 1983 Page 2 5. Attached is the December 19, 1983, Cable TV Newsletter, 6. If any Council member needs to contact me after office hours; I can generally be located at either 771-3 50 or 78 0-0228. 7. City Consultant, Larry Whittaker, did not attend our last City Council meeting as he was making a presentation to the Met Council regarding the draft EIS relating to the Waste - to -Energy project. The Council asked that we submit these comments on paper; and a letter outlining our concerns is attached for your information. As you can tell by this letter, the staff believes many of our concerns relating to compatible land uses, control of services, maintenance of services, fire and police protection, etc., have not been adequately addressed. The staff hopes that the final EIS will address many of our noted concerns. 8. The monthly report from Washington County pertaining to our contract police service for the month of November, 1983 is attached. I have reviewed these reports for the past two years and it appears that the number of complaints, miles driven and citations issued are not unusual for this time of year. June, July and August usually have the highest number of complaints, and then the number of complaints decrease after the onset of winter. The miles driven are generally around 4000, and the number of complaints average around 180 in the summer months and 110 in the winter months. The number of citations issued seems to be a fairly consistent amount; around 30 to 35 per month. 9. In late November, the City Council authorized the payment of registration fees for any Planning Commission member that wished to attend the Annual Planning Conference held in St. Pau].. For your information, no Planning Commission member attended this meeting as it was held during the week and many members could not get off from work. Nonetheless, I think this request indicates the need to appropriate funds in the next budget for conferences and training for Commis- sioners and Councillors. 10. As you can tell by looking at the agenda, we are planning Tuesday's meeting to start at 6:30 p.m. for an Execu- tive Session Meeting. Attached for your information is the section of the City Code and material from the Handbook for Minnesota Cities related to calling special and executive meetings. 11. I wish to acknowledge and to inform the Council that the City of Lake Elmo received a $100.00 donation from TADA and a $100.00 donation from LawsOn,Ralelgnmarshall to be applied towards the catering service charges for our annual Christmas Party. This is a very nice expression of thanks from these two firms; and is well appriciated by the City of Lake Elmo.
