LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1986 PAGE 5 The Council discussed adopting a resolution condemning the action of the Ramsey County Board for choosing options other than an adequate public water supply to resolve the pollution problem they created at the Lake Jane Landfill. This will be followed by a letter to Ramsey County indicating the charcoal filtration is totally unacceptable to the City of Lake Elmo. The City will attempt a "face-to-face" meeting with the MPCA to find out why they feel the charcoal filtration system is an acceptable solution. The City will also communicate to its Legislators its concerns over the time it took for this problem to be resolved and the fact that another landfill in Lake Elmo is under consideration. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to adopt resolution 86-21 condemning the action of the Ramsey County Board for choosing options other than an adequate public water supply to resolve the pollution problem they created at the Lake Jane Landfill and a letter following to Ramsey County, with copies sent to the MPCA, Washington County and Senator Laidig and Rep. McPherson, indicating the charcoal filtration is totally unacceptable to the City of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0). C. 1986 Sealcoating Project: Set date for public hearing. In 1983 the City adopted a six year seal coat program in which all of the City streets that would be preserved or benefited from a seal coat would be seal coated on a six year rotational basis. The last one-third of the City streets which need to be done are scheduled for 1986. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to instruct City Administrator Overby to prepare a public hearing notice for the 1986 Seal coat Program and to select a hearing date. (Motion carried 5-0). D. School Crossing - Update On March 4, 1986 a meeting took place at the Lake Elmo City office in regard to the school crossing light proposed for TH5, near the intersection with County Road 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue). Persons in attendance included City Engineer Bohrer, City Administrator Overby, Maurice Jensen ISD 834 Business Manager, Lake Elmo School Principal Bill Rhodenbaugh, MnDOT staff Kurt Gobeli and a Mr. Kastner. The proposal is to erect a flashing signal as an advance warning to the crossing area. A signal would be located 300 feet to the east and to the west in advance of the actual crossing. In addition, right at the crossing there would be the standard pentagon shape "school crosswalk" symbol. Options that were discussed: (1) The light could be set on a timer and only flash during those times when children are expected to be present and would be turned off on weekends or summertime. (2) The City could request MnDOT to establish a school zone speed limit.
