To: City Council From: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator Re: Informational Memo for 1-8-85 City Council Meeting 1. At the December 18, 1984 City Council meeting, two items were requested to be placed on the upcoming 1-8-85 agenda. These two items are the discussion on the proposed Fire Department Bylaws, and discussion on the proposed Sunfish Lake Working Committee. I do not believe that the bylaws have been put in the format requested ( by the Council so that it can more easily review the proposed changes. Unless something happens toward the end of the week, this item will then be placed on the 1-22-85 agenda. Regarding the Sunfish Lake Working Committee, to date no letter has been received from the Sunfish Lake group attorney, Charles Dayton. From a discussion with Dick Murray, VBWD Board .member, I understand that Mr. Dayton has not appeared before VBWD, but that a VBWD meeting is scheduled for 1-10-85. I, therefore, anticipate that this Sunfish Lake Working Committee discussion will also be on the 1-22-85 agenda. 2. Also at the 12-18-84 City Council meeting, there was a { presentation on the proposed concept of the Regional Park entrance road from I-94 to loth Street. The Council requested that citizens who have concerns over this road submit these concerns in writing and that the Council will review the issues that are raised. No letter has been received by the staff on this issue. In order for the County to proceed with this Regional Park entrance road, plans must be finalized in early 1985 so that construction can take place early in 1986. Therefore, this Regional Park entrance road will also be on the 1-22-85 agenda so that the Council can either accept or reject the concept that was presented at the 12-18-84 meeting and express any concerns that it has to the County so that plans can be finalized. 3. Attached for your information is the most recent City Newsletter dated 12-24-84. This Newsletter issue highlights the Landfill Advisory Committee report. 4. The public meeting to discuss the Landfill Report has been officially scheduled for Tuesday, January 15, 1985 at the Lake Elmo Elementary School from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. The entire Council is encouraged to attend this public meeting, and the Council will also be requested to make a recommendation on this report to the County at its 1-22-85 meeting. I think that the recommendation from the Council should either be for a public water supply system, or against a public water supply system& Subsequently the Council can evaluate the type of public water supply system (if that is its desire) after the County Board has made its decision on the best alternative to solving the safe drinking water problems in the area. If a public water supply system is going to be the final solution, many issues - mostly economical - have to be addressed before it can be determined precisely the type of system that should be installed.
