LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 5, 1985 PAGE 2 clergy and lay leaders of religious organizations share information with their congregations on the significance of safety as an instrument of faith. M/S/P Dunn/Christ - To proclaim the period from Thursday, February 14, 1985 to Sunday, February 17, 1985, as NATIONAL SAFETY SABBATH in Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0) 6. 1984 Fire Department Annual Report - Fran Pott Chief Pott reviewed the Fire Department's 1984 Annual Report which is on file at the City office for public review. Amoung topics discussed in this report were call summary, fire losses, personnel count, significant personnel activities, apparatus repairs, expenditure summary and public education. With regards to the EMS contract with Washington County, Pott stated that in the past few years the City has had this contract which basically stated that for some undefined subsidy, Lake Elmo would agree to respond to emergency medical calls at the request of the County dispatcher. There will be no subsidy for 1985, therefore, no EMS contract. However, it will not change things from an operational standpoint; there just won't be a contract between the City and County. The Administrator acknowledged that the Fire Department's Capital Improvement Program will be reviewed as soon as possible and a presentation will be made to the council after the review is made. 7. City Council Reports A. Update on City Attorney search. The Administrator advised the council that he has formalized the input received from the council at its last meeting and incorporated them into the guidelines. He also included a cover letter that is being distributed to the interested applicants explaining the process and how these guidelines were put together. The City has received ten requests for this information. 8. City Administrator's Report A. Large lot subdivision application by Lyle and Mary Slawson (80 acres into two 40 acre parcels) west of Keats Avenue and 1/4 mile south of Highway 36. The Council reviewed the application, memo from the City Engineer dated January 21, 1985, and acknowledged that a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission, at which time notice was sent to property owners within 350' of the Slawson property. There were no property owners present at this public hearing to offer comments for or against this lot split. Also, no variances are required with this subdivision (the area of the subdivision is 39.7 acres per parcel) and meets the code definition for nominal 40 acre subdivisions. No right-of-way deeds are required with the subdivision, and the City has received the park donation fee. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this application.
