Clerical help for City Office (Continuation) Mayor Christ agreed the Staff needed help, but felt it was a temporary situation until we get a new City Administrator and then review it at that time.

Recommendation from Parks Dept. for donation to Stillwater Athletic Field (Continuation) John Hughes will ask the Lake Elmo Jaycees if they would be willing to take out of their charitable gambling earnings to make a contribution toward the Stillwater Athletic complex. This donation would be in part of the City and the Lake Elmo Jaycees. The Council decided to delay a recommendation until they hear from John Hughes. G. Preparation for detachment hearing --Municipal Board Mayor Christ expressed the problem he had with the boundary lines, a possible landlocked parcel and he opposed the piecemeal annexation. Christ also stated the City of Lake Elmo owns the sewer connection and Oakdale doesn't have sewer capacity to support them. He felt the City has been a good faith bargainer and it was very futile to suggest annexation at this time because sewer, water had not been worked out. Councilman Moe had a problem with giving up the tax monies in excess of 10 grand. Councilman Johnson didn't support annexation of any part of Section 32 to Oakdale. Johnson suggested the City Attorney find legal ground that would supportrthis position and draft it in a resolution.
