LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 1991 2 Mayor Johnson responded he has not talked to Don Bishop so it { would have been difficult to work a deal with him. We have on record a cluster development that was agreed to by Mr. Bishop and we will hold him to this cluster development. As far as the Animal Shelter, I have no idea what Mr. Morgan is involved in and have not had any dealings in negotiations with Joe Rogers. 5. OLD BUSINESS: A. Cimarron Park Evacuation Plan The staff met with the Mayor, Fire Chief, both of our contract deputies, Civil Defense Director Fran Pott, Cimarron Management and one homeowner to discuss the evacuation plan for the park. A draft plan was presented to the Council. Discussion followed on the following concerns: routes of travel not being very accessible, kinds of roads, ages of people who reside in the park, and a less then reasonable distance from the shelter to the park. The Council made it very clear that this plan is only good for a year and the shelters are going to be up in a year. Attorney representing Cimarron responded he was in agreement with the resolution as presented, except for the requirement of shelters. He indicated it was his feeling that this is going beyond what was anticipated tonight, and he did not have a full opportunity to discuss this thoroughly with his client so he is going on record objecting to this. He added this issue might be suited for another meeting. M/S/P Dick Johnson/Williams - to approve an interim Cimarron Park Severe Weather Emergency Procedure, as amended (Changes: Page 2: Add as Item 4. WARNING PROCEDURE: Washington County be directed to tone out the Lake Elmo Fire Department at the same time it sounds the severe weather warning siren; Page 3, Item 5, 6th line, change "may" to "shall", Paragraph 5 last sentence: to the satisfaction of the City Attorney regarding liability by the City.); contingent upon approval by School District 834. The City Council determines that this plan is for an interim use only and the Council determines that this plan does not offer adequate protection for the Cimarron residents for the long term due to the distance to the school. Park owners shall be required to have shelters constructed within one year; the City shall assist in applying for grants to contribute to the shelter construction. (Motion carried 4-0). B. Recodification Bids M/S/P Williams/Dick Johnson - to award the bid to Sterling Codifiers in the amount of $5500, plus shipping charges; contingent upon the City Attorney approving the final contract. (Motion carried 4-0).
