LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 21, 1992 7 <br />8. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: <br />A. Definition of "secured" as it relates to manhole <br />covers <br />Attorney Filla contacted Dave Gustafson of the University of <br />Minnesota Extension Service regarding the meaning of the <br />term "Secured" as it is used in the Minnesota PCA Rules. <br />Mr. Gustafson stated that the term was left undefined in <br />order to allow local units of government some flexibility in <br />adopting regulations. He indicated that in his judgment the <br />following types of covers would be considered secure: <br />1. Covers which are twelve inches below grade. <br />2. Covers which are heavy enough to prevent young children <br />from readily moving the cover. (Manhole covers in the <br />street weigh 125 lbs. and are considered secured.) <br />3. Covers which are in some manner bolted to the tank or <br />which require a special tool to remove. <br />M/S/P Williams/Hunt - that the staff be directed to come <br />back to the Council at the August 4th meeting after having <br />contacted Jay's Precast who supplied the septic tanks for <br />the 201 project and one other septic tank lid making company <br />with what their standard lids weigh. (Motion carried 5-0). <br />9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: <br />Mayor Johnson asked for volunteers to serve on the <br />Community Advisory Boards for School District #622 and 4t832. <br />Councilman Hunt stated there was another accident at the <br />intersection of County Road 19 and County Road 10. The <br />Council asked that this safety concern be added to the <br />agenda when Washington County comes in to discuss the <br />proposed 10th Street plan. <br />Sue Dunn and Councilman Williams pointed out the lights from <br />the parking lot of the new Outlet Mall in Woodbury shine in <br />your eyes as you approach the I-94 overpass. <br />10.
