i LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 1, 1989 PAGE 5 The Council felt this was good direction to the PZ and Road Widths will be on the September City Council agenda. 8. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Proposed Draft Ordinance: Horses: Roadway Shoulders At the time that the plans and specs for 43rd and Kimbro were ordered by the Council, the attorney and staff were requested to draft an ordinance amendment which would allow horses and horse drawn vehicles on the paved shoulder of improved roads. A resident requested the City permit carriages drawn by horses on roadways, but the Council found it difficult to accomodate an existing use that seemed to be limited to a few areas. M/S/P Hunt/Moe - to direct the City Administrator to submit the proposed draft ordinance amending Section 1401 of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code to the City Attorney for approval, and set a public hearing for consideration of the ordinances. (Motion carried 3-0). B. Planning Commission Meeting Dates The City Administrator had indicated earlier this year that it may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to meet only monthly; which was met with objection from the PZ. It was then determined that it would be appropriate to attempt to hold public hearings at the last meeting of the month, hereby allowing the PZ time to accomplish council directives at its first meeting of the month. In staff's opinion, this method of directing Planning Commission cases to the last meeting of the month, when possible, has worked quite well. C. Public Works Supervisor Hours At the council meeting of January 24, 1989, approval to change the working hours of the Public Works Supervisor, at his request. This approval was contingent upon review after a six month period. Dan Olinger would like to continue these hours (6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) on a permanent basis. In his opinion, these hours are more productive as he is able to accomplish more administrative duties and able to ready equipment prior to arrival of the Public Works crew. M/S/P Moe/Hunt - resolved that the Council hereby authorizes, as the regular working hours of the Public Works Supervisor, the hours of 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., on a permanent basis. (Motion carried 3-0). M/S/P Hunt/Moe - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 8:37 p.m. (Motion carried 3-0).
