LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 2, 1988 PAGE 4 meeting attendance. Graves felt in the past we have made a good attempt to make sure engineering items are done by a reasonable hour and suggested we eliminate this clause. If the City Engineer is required to stay over the three hour limk, it reverts to the hourly rate. Armstrong felt we should be able to adjust an agenda so the engineer could be out by 10 o'clock. Cou6ilman Johnson felt that now the City had a full-time Building Official he could help and cut down engineerig costs. Bohrer felt he could help out on utility permit applica-i_ons (NSP, Bell Telephone), shoreland permits that have no variances, and all neighborhood type problems (such as drainage problems.) Pass-thru costs are not covered in the shoreland fee and should be upgraded.
