LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 7, 1991 PAGE 2 B. Other Councilman Hunt reported it was impossible, because of other commitments, for him to continue the task of contacting all (37) communities and arranging times to appear on their council agendas to show the landfill video, answer questions, and request their support for the resolution opposing the landfill siting. The City Administrator volunteered to call each community and request placement on their Council agenda. The attendance at these Council meetings will be split among the members of the Lake Elmo City Council. 6. APAC Ordinance City Attorney, Jerry Filla, prepared an ordinance relative to the concerns raised by Cimarron residents should the park close and the residents be forced to relocate. The staff asked for additional comments on the proposed ordinance from APAC and from the park owner(s). Dan Krawczyk, NHD, referred to page 4, (Items 1.,2.,3.), and explained there may be a number of reasons, such as condition or age of home, why homes cannot be relocated which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that the park is closing. He made a reference to 1700.070 page 5, and questioned if the market value discussed with the residents of Cimarron was fair or accurate. Dan explained the assessor sends them a tax roll and asks management to go out and inspect each individual home and let them know if it has been improved, if it has deteriorated and if there are any ownership changes. Neither, he nor his staff, had time to do the actual assessments. The Council requested a definition of a Park Resident and a Park Purchaser. The City Attorney has been working with APAC because he assumed APAC represented a large percentage of the people in the park, but was informed APAC did not. Therefore, Filla recommended the Council postpone action on this ordinance until a joint meeting (City Attorney, APAC representative, non-APAC resident, Cimarron Management) can be set up because he could not anticipate the issues and does not have all the factual knowledge as to what kinds of formulas to put into this ordinance. M/S/P Mottaz/Dick Johnson - to postpone consideration of this matter and to direct the staff to set up a joint meeting to discuss the Ordinance relating to the closure of manufactured home parks. (Motion carried 5-0). 7. Auditor's Report: Rob Tautges Rob Tautges, Voto, Tautges, Redpath & Co., presented the 1990 Annual Financial and Management Report.
