LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1991 4 Also part of the 33rd and Laverne Street improvement project is replacement of the existing water main and it was proposed at that time to add $5.00/quarter to each user in the Old Village to help finance this replacement. This improvement charge would only be necessary until the replacement water main is paid for. Marilyn Banister explained water is costing the City $1.25/1,000 gallons now, and we should have raised the rates a year ago in order to set aside money for improvements. Councilman Williams added if the correct rate is $1.25 per 1000 gallons we should present it as an independently arrived at figure, not something intentionally set to be the same as the Lake Jane system. For the public hearing, the City Engineer was asked for an estimate of cost per 1,000 gallons in each area setting aside money to pay for future maintenance. The Council also asked for the number of total gallons used a year. M/S/P Dick Johnson/Mottaz - to set the public hearing on water rates for the Old Village and Lake Jane area for December 17, 1991.

Beginning in 1992, we will no longer need to report where on our State Aid system this money is spent. M/S/P Dick Johnson/Hunt - to adopt Resolution No 91-38 requesting that the State of Minnesota allow the City of Lake Elmo's maintenance allotment for 1992 to be equal to 25% of its total 1992 allotment. (Motion carried 5-0). 6. PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. 1990 Comprehensive Plan, Resolution No. 91- Councilman Williams explained we have a resolution before us correcting a procedural error regarding the Comp Plan and urged all the Council to vote in favor of this resolution and formally adopt the plan the Council all thought was in effect anyway. MIS/ Williams/Dick Johnson - to adopt Resolution 91-40 adopting the Lake Elmo 1990 Comprehensive Plan Councilman Mottaz pointed out the City has one comp plan which was adopted in 1983 and anything from that point on is an amendment to the comp plan. What we would have is a 1990 amendment to the Comp Plan and not a new comprehensive plan. There are steps that are set out by state statute that must be
