LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 18, 1992 2 <br />the annual joint meeting between the SWAC's communities <br />which is scheduled for the first Monday in March. <br />Since the Council agreed in principle with this program, <br />Councilman Johnson suggested putting together a Resolution <br />for Council review. <br />M/S/P Dick Johnson/Williams - to direct the City <br />Administrator to develop a Resolution for a Compost Program <br />for Council Review and to proceed with the mechanics of such <br />a program beginning with negotiations with outside parties <br />on the compost program, setting up purchase of stickers (two <br />colors), and to proceed on the basis that we will have a <br />composting program at a charge of $10 for Lake Elmo <br />residents and $15 for non -Lake Elmo residents, with Lake <br />Elmo residents having the additional privilege to <br />participate in Lake Elmo Clean Up days with this sticker. <br />(Motion carried 5-0). <br />B.

He felt it was <br />worth asking our Attorney if there is some way we can argue <br />this for less than $5,000. Attorney Filla answered that the <br />argument would be because of the condition of the site it is <br />not safe to use for that purpose and therefore it cannot be <br />exempt.
