LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 1, 1990 PAGE 10 9. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. SW-1 Public Water Supply Update -- Officially appoint City Council representatives to Negotiating Committee Washington County has a problem with meeting with more than a sub -committee of two members of the City Council while negotiating a public water supply in the Lake Jane Well Advisory Area. The Council should officially appoint two members to this committee. Mayor Dunn and Councilman Hunt have been representing the City. Councilman Graves indicated he has been involved with discussions with the County in trying to address the problem for years and felt Mayor Dunn and Councilman Hunt have had an opportunity to be intimately involved with discussions with Oakdale relative to Section 32 and felt it was appropriate to share these duties with other representatives of the Council. He has talked to Mary Luth and, in her opinion, there was no discontinunity in the progress that has been made if there was a change. From a technical standpoint, he believes he would be better qualified to make contributions to this issue and would like the opportunity. He would be more than willing to assume this responsibility. Mayor Dunn appreciated Councilman Graves' offer, but noted for over three months we could not get the Personnel Committee to meet for an hour, which Councilman Graves specifically asked to be appointed to. She understands his work schedule is demanding, and he doesn't always have the time to put forth. She has more flexibility than someone in his position and is willing to put forth the many hours that are needed. Updates on the meetings are given regularly and input from all Council members are encouraged and appreciated. Councilman Hunt stated his family commitments are much lower than other Councilmembers and his work hours are extremely flexible. Councilwoman Armstrong indicated that Mayor Dunn and Councilman Hunt have this under control, and we should not disrupt the process right now. M/S/P Williams/Armstrong - to appoint Mayor Dunn and Councilman Hunt as official representatives of the City in discussions with the County on the public water supply. (Motion carried 4-1: Graves) M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 10:16 p.m. (Motion carried 5-0).
