LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 16, 1990 PAGE 4 When the audience was asked by the Council for a show of hands in favor of fire protection, four hands went up, two of which belonged to Fire Chief Sachs and former Fire Chief Pott. Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 8:41 p.m. The Council noted they did not hear anyone hollering for fire protection, but heard their primary concern was to get clean drinking water to this area. The Council made it clear that our City Engineer has stated on a number of occasions that consideration of fire protection has no way delayed the installation of the drinking water supply. M/S/P Hunt/Armstrong - the public water supply in the Lake Jane Well Advisory Area not be upgraded for fire protection. (Motion carried 4-0). The City Administrator will notify the City of Oakdale of Council action. C. Street Light Request for CR 17 & 39th Street and Highway 5 and 39th Street Larry Bohrer reported at the last Council meeting the Council received a request from Lake Elmo State Bank to install a street light at the intersection of 39th Street North and Lake Elmo Avenue and referred this matter to the Engineer. Bohrer explained he contacted Mark Mattson, Assistant County Engineer and discussed the need to increase visibility at that intersection. Based on that conversation the County will install a standard cylindrical reflector on the existing stop sign post on 39th Street. The County will also study whether large (2' x 3') advance street name signs should be installed north and south of the intersection on Lake Elmo Avenue. NSP was contacted and stated there was no power readily available at this intersection and the cost to extend power to that intersection for a street light would be $2,500. Bohrer noted that in the past the City has assumed the on -going operation and maintenance on all street lights. The individual cost per month on a street light varies between $9.75 up to $13.75 depending on the wattage of the light. The City pays approx. $700/month for all the street lights. Bohrer concluded the safety of the intersection would be enhanced by adding the 360 deg, reflector on the stop sign and the erection of advance signs and/or a street light. The City Engineer was requested to get the price of the large street name signs if the County doesn't want to put up signs. D.
