LANDFILL UPDATE Todd Williams advised the council that the bill berore the state legislature to stop the siting process as mandated by state statute had failed, and the County will continue its Environmental Impact Statement. Williams said the workshop recently held -on the scoping document provided no positive results, and was quite disappointed with the lack of input/concern of the county board, and suggested that all city council members contact the commissioners asking that they get more involved in the siting process. 4A. REQUEST FROM VALLEY BRANCH WATERSHED - AL DORNFELD Mr. Dornfeld told the council that problems had arisen in DeMontreville Park whereas trees that had been removed had made the area accessible to snowmobiles and other over the road.vehicles and had become a nuisance to the residents in the area. He requested that VBWD be allowed to hire the Lake Elmo maintenance crew to construct about a 20 foot fence at the north end of the park to eliminate this problem. Mr. Dornfeld further told the council that VBWD would, once permission was received from the DNR, pump Sunfish Lake to City Park Pond - with the hopes of getting Sunfish Lake to the level of 896.4. He again requested that VBWD be allowed to hire the Lake Elmo maintenance crew to install this 8" pump and to check it daily. He estimated it would take 1 to 2 days to install the pipe and the diesel pump. M/S/P/ Graves/Moe - To authorize the Lake Elmo maintenance crew to work at the direction of VBWD in erecting approximately a 20 foot fence at the north end of DeMontreville Park; and to authorize the Lake Elmo maintenance crew to work at the direction of VBWD in installing the pipes and monitoring the pump in Sunfish Park (which will pump water to City Park Pond) for a period of up to two months or until Sunfish Lake reaches the level of 896.4, with all costs for both of these projects reimbursed to the City of Lake Elmo by Valley Branch Watershed. Motion carried 5-0.
