LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY G, 1993 E. Update on Olson Lake Estates Pond Larry Bohrer reported that pumping had begun by the VBWD and was directed north across 50th Street to a low lying area. Pumping removed 3' from the pond, but was stopped because there was insufficient outlet from that area north of 50th Street to Long Lake. The pond is now as high as it was before pumping began.. They have worked out the difficulties with the property owner and Corps of Engineers and there is an improved drainage way. Pumping should resume Thursday of this week. 6. OLD BUSINESS The Council set up a workshop meeting for July 14, 1993, 7:00 p.m. to discuss the Joint Powers Agreement Utility Extension Project with the city attorney. 7. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None 8. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor John reported that four council members attended the Oakdale Summer festival celebration parade. Councilman Johnson noted that if it was clear that its the Mayor's position and not the Council's position on the MAC situation then he had no problem with the Mayor submitting this letter to the newspaper. Councilman Mottaz referred to correspondence released at the July 22, 1993 meeting to Oakdale under the headline of Lake Elmo City Council Position Statement. He felt sarcastic statements were made which has a negative impact on our effort to improve our relations with City of Oakdale. Mottaz didn't recall the council ever voting on this correspondence so it cannot be a position statement of the City Council. 9. PLANNING, LAND USE AND ZONING A.
