LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL, MINUTES NOVEMBER 21, 1.989 PAGE 4 Kelly Brockman stated there is $55,000 budgeted for a dump truck, if bids come in at $50,000 are you going to put chrome bumpers and wheels on it to make it come out to $55,000. It was rediculous to approve such a City Pick-up; and an insult to the taxpayers to approve a dump truck with stainless steel running boards. You approve everything the Maintenance Dept. asks for. These comments will be very well taken. Mayor Dunn stated we will not go for the frills, but stay with the basics on our equipment expenditures. Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. Councilman Hunt indicated by approving this Resolution at this time it does not obligate us to follow through with any of the Capital Improvement Programs being discussed. Mayor Dunn commented on the fantastic job Marilyn had done pulling this budget together considering having to respond in a very short period of time to alter changes imposed on the City from the State special tax session. M/S/P Williams/Graves - to adopt Resolution 89-49; A Resolution Adopting Budget for 1990 and Levying Taxes for 1990. (Motion carried 4-0). 6. PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 8027 Amending Section 803 of City Code Relating to Burning Permits Mayor Dunn opened up the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. in the City Council. chambers. The proposed ordinance has been posted and published in accordance with Statutory requirements. The purpose of the proposed Amendment is to meet the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's requirement to allow for the issuance of burning permits by the Lake Elmo Fire Chief, or his designee. The ordinance also adopts Minnesota Rules, parts 7005.0700 to 7005.0820 relating to Open Burning, and no longer adopts by reference the State's Ambient Air Quality Standard and Air Pollution Control Regulations. Councilman Williams suggested delete wording in motion "proceed with the required follow through of this process" and insert words "obtain MPCA approval", because apparently that is what has to happen. Mayor Dunn closed the Public Hearing at 7:55 p.m. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - resolved that the City Council hereby adopts Ordinance No. 8027, relating to Open Burning, and authorizes the City Administrator to obtain MPCA approval. (Motion carried 4-0). M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to move Item 7A Comp Plan to follow Item 9A. to be �" located after Item 4. (Motion carried 4-0).
