CITY OF <br />LAKE <br />July 10, 1989 <br />City of Lake Elmo 510 <br />3800 Laverne Avenue North / Lake Elmo. Minnesota 55042 <br />Washington County Board of Commissioners <br />14900 61st Street North, P.O. Box 6 <br />Stillwater, MN 55082 <br />Attn: Commissioner Russ Larkin <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />It has come to our attention that the Board will be considering the <br />recommendation of the Washington County Library Board, relative to the <br />Lake Elmo branch library, at the meeting of July 11. <br />Although we have not had the benefit of reviewing the Library Board's <br />recommendations, it is our understanding that the Board will be <br />recommending that the County not purchase the Lake Elmo Bank Building <br />to upgrade and increase library services for the City of Lake Elmo; <br />that the Library Board will instead recommend, as a long-range <br />alternative, the phasing out of library rental facilities and an <br />alternative site for the Library to serve both Oakdale and Lake Elmo. <br />The Lake Elmo City Council urges you to retain your commitment to the <br />residents of Lake Elmo by retaining a branch library in the Old <br />Village area, or the area recently platted just North of Highway 5. <br />We would further suggest that the purchase of the Lake Elmo Bank <br />Building would provide a fiscally responsible and reasonable <br />alternative to the purchase of a site and the construction of a new <br />building. <br />The library is an intricate part of our Old Village area; it is a <br />facility which the council and residents value and consider to be <br />essential to our community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan Dunn <br />Mayor <br />
