LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 17, 1992 CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: - No Reports CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Charitable Gambling One -Day License The City Council had no objections to the request from the Minnesota Special Olympics for a one -day charitable gambling license for their fund raiser at Tartan Park on May 11, 1992. B. Clean Up Day The City will hold its annual Clean-up day on Saturday, May 16, 1992. C. Redistricting Update Administrator Kueffner provided a memo received from our County Auditor concerning redistricting. The Supreme Court stayed the Federal Court Order on legislative redistricting, meaning that the DFL proposed plan is the plan and will not have a change in State Legislative districts in the City. The Federal Court's Congressional Plan will be implemented which means that both precincts in Lake Elmo would be split by two congressional districts. Precinct I (south of Highway 5) will be in the 4th District with the exception of that portion lying Northwest of CSAH 6 (Stillwater Blvd) up to Highway 5. The line will then meander across Highway 5 up thru the northwest quadrant of the city and split Precinct II. The County has advised the City that the company that offers the support for the punch card voting system will not sign a contract for support of the system beyond the 1992 election. The City Administrator strongly urged the city implement the optical scan system in both precincts for about $15,000 for the 1992 State Primary and General Election. Since there wasn't any money in the budget for this purchase, a question was raised if we could use the $10,000 in the drainage plan fund if the city adopts the VBWD drainage plan as our city plan. More information will be submitted to the Council at a later date. M/S/P Mottaz/Hunt - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 10:15 p.m. (Motion carried 4-0).
