LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 6, 1990 PAGE 8 ( Councilman Williams requested postponing consideration of the motion until the next Council meeting to give the Personnel Committee a chance to get together with the staff to come up with a recommendation on what type of person needs to be hired and at what salary. Councilwoman Armstrong voiced her concern that she saw the City was in need to hire someone now and would not like to wait for two weeks for a motion. Mary Kueffner suggestd a clerk/typist position with a starting salary of $6.50/Hour maximum. Councilman Graves felt, as long as the Council places a limit on hiring only one person and the salary range, Mary could proceed to advertise for this position. M/S/P Williams/Graves - to amend the motion to include advertising for a clerk -typist position at a maximum salary of $6.50/Hour. (Motion carried 4-0). M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to direct Mary Kueffner to advertise for a clerk -typist position at a maximum salary of $6.50/Hour. (Motion carried 4-0). 11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REQUEST: A. Street Lights at CR 19 and CR 10 Stop Signs at City Hall Road. and CR 17 and Laverne Mary Kueffner explained she was given incorrect information for the last council meeting relating to the proposed street lights. The proposal was for two 250 watt high pressure sodium lights which cost $13.75 each per month for a total cost of $330.00 per year. The County would have to install one of the light poles at a cost of approximately $2,000. They would absorb that entire cost and ask the City pay for the ongoing electrical costs. The city received a letter from Lawrence Bousquet, Traffic and Maintenance Engineer, stating they increased the size of the double stop signs and installed rumble strips. They felt these measures seem to have eliminated. the accident problem. The Council directed the staff to suggest to Mr. Bousquet the possibility of "Do Not Enter" signs on both sides of the north bound lanes, in addition to adding radius delineation to better emphasize the intersection location. An inquiry was made about placing a stop sign at the intersection of "City Hall Road" and County Road 17. Mary Kueffner talked to Mr. Bousquet who stated, since it is the County's intersection, they will be placing a stop sign there as soon as they can get into the ground. The staff suggested a stop sign be installed at the intersection of. City Hall. Road and Laverne Avenue because of increased traffic on 39th Street once the bank is open or when the "Business Park" goes in. The County will install this sign for the City at a cost of $50.00.
