LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 21, 1992 9 Mayor Johnson responded that when you say the taxpayer of Lake Elmo, you talk about Dick and Dave Johnson paying property taxes, picking up something for a development that requires sanitary sewer that he won't pick up himself. The point being made by myself and Mike Black relates to this. The MWCC stated that they foresee no capacity problems until earliest the year 2005. If the brightest development scenario goes forward, then by the year 2005 there will have to be downstream improvements made to facilitate further development in our MUSA area. What we said is if we have that kind of development that would increase the demand on that capacity, that development would pay for that increase capacity requirement. This is accomplished through the City of Lake Elmo. We stated we are not asking them to make any up front improvements in downstream capacity, Downstream capacity would only have to be improved if we had developments that exceeded the capacity requirements that we had indicated. We weren't committing the City to anything and we weren't asking the State or Metro governments to commit to anything. If after Thurs., it is decided the Met Council is not going to approve the MUSA extension, Mottaz suggested that at the next meeting the Council should come up with a resolution regarding this joint meeting and how it will be paid for. There are two groups that would benefit from this and both groups should probably pay. E. VBWD - Water Management Plan Update Councilman Williams indicated he would be willing to serve as the council representative for any kind of committee established to provide a response to the pending revision of the Valley Branch Watershed District's plan and will contact the Administrator about getting together on this matter. M/S/P Dick Johnson/Mottaz - to direct the City Administrator, City Engineer and Councilman Williams to voice their concerns and put together a response to the VBWD Water Management Plan Update.
