LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1993 M/S/C Johnson/Conlin -- to reinforce the position of the city council that the Lake Elmo ( Deputies and Washington County Sheriff's Dept. continue to handle code violations that are appropriate for them to issue citations, if required, and it be left up to their judgment whether it is in their authority or whether it should be referred to some other officer of the city. (Motion carried 4-1:Mottaz: The deputies should not be involved in building code violations. Anytime during working hours the code enforcement officer should be out inspecting and deciding if they are violating the code. We are trusting that the deputies are familiar with the Lake Elmo Code. ) 5. OLD BUSINESS A. #622 Bond Referendum notification - Informational Administrator Kueffner has talked with representatives of ISD 622, the County Auditor's Office, and the Secretary of State's office regarding the lack of notification of the 622 Bond Issue election. The School District indicated its only obligation is to notify the county auditor, but in the future will add Lake Elmo to its list of municipalities to notify. The Washington County Auditors office explained it must notify municipalities only when there is a county election. The secretary of State's office said there is definitely a problem with school elections. Joe Mansky, the person in charge of elections for the Secretary of State, said that is one of the reasons they have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to change the law so that all elections be on the same day. Mansky asked the city write to the secretary of state explaining what happened and copy the letter to the two legislators that will be introducing a bill to this effect during the next legislative session. 6.
