LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL EMERGENCY MEETING 2-19-93 2 Councilman Johnson asked what happens to the SAC units if the MnDOT land is annexed to Oakdale. Attorney Filla responded if those units are available for use in this area and if part of this area goes to Oakdale, Lake Elmo will loose those SAC units available from this site. Filla also pointed out that the bill is mistitled. In terms of interpretation you look at the content of the bill instead of the title, but the title is very misleading. Councilman Johnson felt it was essential the City have legal representation at the subcommittee hearing on Tuesday. Therefore, he made the following motion: M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to authorize Attorney Filla to attend the subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, February 23rd (Motion carried 3-0). Mayor John will gave a brief history and introduced Resolution 93-10 adopted by the Council which the subcommittee received copies of. The Lake Elmo Council has endorsed meeting with Oakdale to try to resolve these issues on a local basis and does not need to have special legislation or other people less impacted make these decisions. Attorney Filla will point out the consequences of this action on our Comp Plan and as a city how critical it is to maintain control. If anyone looks at this configuration most people are going to conclude that Oakdale and.Lake Elmo should sit down and work this out because it is not good for the citizens who live in that area. Neary explained that if the bill is heard Tuesday as scheduled, it would have to be passed by the subcommittee in order to get to the full committee. The next step is to hear the bill on the floor and the final step is put it in front of the senate. There is a deadline of April 4th. M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - adjourn the emergency meeting a 5:10 p.m. (Motion carried 3-0).
