LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1990 PAGE 2 "On the advise of our City Attorney", Mayor Dunn responded, "we feel the best for all concerned is to leave the situation as it has occurred. Ms. Morrison has resigned, the resignation has been accepted, the issue is closed, any further discussion at a public forum would not be in the best interest of Ms. Morrison." Teddie Carlson stated, "your response on the advise of legal council does fulfill my question that I had for signing Dick's letter." Councilman Graves reiterated, "it was not an unanimous decision, (3-1:Graves), to accept Ms. Morrison's resignation, which was tendered in response to a resign or be removed from office statement from other Council members". 5. REAPP REPORT Todd Williams reported they have receivd the hydrogeological technical memorandum from the County and will forward this to DPRA. Todd informed the Council there bad been an official meeting of the Metropolitan Council staff regarding the redefinition of the buffer area.
