LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 20, 1990 PAGE 4 Mark Rivard, 5290 Hilltop, asked if the negative population growth affected the City. Banister responded the population has no bearing on taxes, but the number of households does make a difference. Gloria Knoblauch, 9181 31st St. N., asked if $40,000 was enough for legal fees in 1991 and to appeal Section 32. Acting Mayor Williams responded the costs involved in appealing Section 32 will be rather minor compared to the original hearing cost. When asked how the detachment would affect the City, Banister stated the recent loss of 500 acres to Oakdale will not affect tax collection in Lake Elmo in 1990. The owners of the detached property would still pay their taxes to Lake Elmo this year. Acting Mayor Williams closed the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. M/S/P Graves/Hunt - to adopt Resolution 90-34, A Resolution Approving 1990 Tax Levy, $849,756, collectible in 1991.
