LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 20, 1987 PAGE 11 hold. 4. Upper 33rd Street and Laverne Avenue from Lake Elmo Avenue to TH 5. These streets are anticipated to be reconstructed in 1989. They received a sealcoat and maintenance overlay in 1986 and should provide reasonable service at least until 1989. 5. 47th Street, Kimbro Avenue anad 50th Street ??Vm Keats Avenue to Lake Elmo Avenue. These streets are anticipated to be reconstructed in about 1993. However, the City's State Aid funds are accumulating faster than anticipated when the original 10 year program was set up and could be reconstructed sooner. All other MSA streets are in reasonably good condition and are beyond the planning period. The following are City Engineer Bohrer's recommendations: 1.. It is recommended that Lake Elmo consider a MSA construction project in 1987. The money is available and it would avoid a possible reduction in allotments in future years. 2. It is recommended that the 10 Year Plan be modified. to re -prioritize the construction schedule. In his opinion, 47th, Kimbro, and 50th Street should be scheduled ahead of Laverne Avenue. The gravel roads are a constant source of complaints due to the washboard gravel and dust. 3. If the Council agrees with Recommendations 1 and 2 above, then a public informational meeting should be held with the residents to discuss the impacts of the project, land in Green Acres, additional right-of-way requirements, and general cost figures to determine if preliminary surveys and a feasibility study should be done. This informational meeting will be held as a regular agenda item and we will be looking strictly at feasibility. This should be published in the Lake Elmo Newsletter. 8.

State Senator Gary Laidig and State Representative Harriet McPherson explained that the Resolution passed by the City Council gives them the chance to get some legislation drafted. It is one way that the legislature can attempt to remove that candidate landfill site. Senator Laidig felt that he and Representative McPherson were prepared to do whatever they could to prevent the proposed landfill. He sits on the Natural Resource Committee in
