LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1990 PAGE 5 Larry Bohrer stated he would send each Council member a mailed written recommendation for potential road projects for this summer using MSA Maintenance Funds. Then the City Admin. can take the appropriate poll of the Council to determine how to proceed.. Bohrer will also send a copy of this report to the VBWD for their comments. Councilman Hunt volunteered to attend the VBWD meeting when this report will be discussed. M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to proceed with discussion on the proposed drainage plan with VBWD and affected residents and pull together information for discussion at the September 4th City Council meeting. (Motion carried 4-0). B. MPCA Response to Appeal for 201 Costs The City received a letter from Timothy Scherkenbach, Water Quality Div. of PCA regarding final determination for request of land and related acquisiton costs (total cost:$50,900) resulting from the condemnation award appeal and judgment on Site D as not eligible. Each issue was addressed and a summary of their determination appears in the letter. (See letter dated June 13, 1990 to Mary Kueffner from Timothy Scherkenbach). Larry Bohrer indicated no more research needed to be done, a'personal appearance would not be required, it would just be review of the record. Bohrer pointed out, as we go through the appeal process, its less likely that we will be eligible for reimbursement, and we will not get our final payment on our grant. Mayor Dunn will write a letter reiterating the fact the City was caught by circumstances, totally, beyond our control, and it is not fair we should be penalized. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to direct the staff to pursue the appeal to the EPA for reimbursement of our condemnation costs for the 201 Project. (Motion carried 4-0). C. Update on Agreement to Provide Public Water to Well Advisory Area The County has met with the City of Oakdale who approved the joint agreement by a 3-2 vote with some minor language change at that meeting. A public informational meeting on the service area and a public hearing to consider whether fire protection should or shouldn't be added was scheduled for June 26th. Because of the reaction Mary Luth got at the Oakdale City Council meeting, she has asked to postpone this public hearing. Luth requested the cities enter into the agreement before we proceed with the public hearing. The Council will receive a copy of the new final draft of the agreement. In the meantime, Armstrong requested the staff look at the VBWD project to see if there is any indication if the drainage would come near this property. 7. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: The City Attorney handed out his report for discussion.
