LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 21, 1987 PAGE 2 $10/month charge for electricity and maintenance of a street light. M/S/P Graves/Johnson - to approve the street light request contingent on the verification of the names on the petition representing 75 percent of the residents within 300 feet according to the City's street light policy. (Motion carried 5-0). City Engineer Bohrer would like an opportunity to drive by at night before he could make an opinion. Councilman Johnson felt that this intersection could use a street light because it is very dark and you are unable to see if any children should run out into the street. 4. Landfill Committee Update Dan Novak reported outstanding charges which are relative to the Washington County Fair booth. The charges include: $136 for balloons with markings, $47 for handouts, $15 for business cards and the booth rental has been donated by Teddy Carlson. Linda Ramirez, Citizen Advisory Committee Treasurer, will contact Finance Director Marilyn Banister for setting up an account to deposit donations received to -date. Councilwoman Armstrong suggested that the Citizen's Advisory Committee have an account on their own. A proposal from George Crocker of the North American Water Association was given to the CAC of items that could be of benefit to the Committee. Mr. Crocker will attend the August 2nd Sunday night meeting to discuss this. The funds the Committee have set up could not handle this and they would like the City to get involved. The Munger meeting was held on July 16th which Dan felt was a disaster because they passed off their unfairness with an attitude of indifference. Every point they brought up to them, they refuted. Also, Willard Munger had refused the option for an interim study, but felt the EIS was the solution and the Committee should proceed with it. The Committee had asked to go before the full Metropolitan Council and Steve Keefe's response was that he would take this under advisement. The Committee has received the Met Council response to their eight questions. Dan has talked to Bruce Dunn who has met with trash hauler Maroney and Zack Hansen of the County to discuss the City drafting an Request For Proposal for solicitation of haulers for curb site pickup once a month in the City. Maroney has proposed to pick up once a month three types of glass, newsprint, and aluminum cans. The Committee endorses this action and sees this as a positive argument in favor of what they are trying to do with the landfill. Armstrong's understanding from talking to Bruce Dunn was that he felt this was an excellent idea and would carry it through, but they are busy with the compost pile and are trying to get this working. It was suggested that this be put on the City Council agenda for discussion. City Administrator Overby will contact Bruce Dunn.
