LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 2, 1988 PAGE 2 activities. REAPP was satisfied that this third action is now closed down. A copy of the contract, engaging the law firm of Leonard, Street and Dei.nard, to represent it with regard to the potential siting of a landfill in the Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve, was provided for the Council's information. The Council directed the City Administrator and City Attorney to review the proposed contract for approval at the August 16th meeting and further directed that terminology be incorporated into the contract which would effectively funnel all activities, with this law firm, through the City Administrator's office. 6. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING A. PRELIMINARY PLAT: F.J. CROMBIE, 2ND ADDITION (Continued from 7-19-88) M/S/P Graves/Johnson -• to remove off the table consideration of the Preliminaray Plat for F.J.
