LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 15, 1994 <br />Council member Mottaz was opposed to expansion of the compost operation <br />due to increased traffic and more work for the staff that will not be covered and <br />not included in the total operation cost. Woodbury has land for their own site <br />and didn't want Lake Elmo to be a dumping site. <br />The consensus of the Council was to continue the program that is in -place <br />because they shared the concern that Lake Elmo cannot service the entire East <br />Metro area. If we find we are getting a significant increase in usage, we will look <br />at expansion later. <br />M/S/C Johnson/Mottaz - to increase the non-resident compost fee from $15 to <br />$20, but keep the $10 fee for Lake Elmo residents which includes clean up day <br />and $50 for the small lawn maintenance contractors per calendar year. (Motion <br />carried 4-0). <br />C. Set date for "Clean -Up" Days <br />M/S/C Johnson/Mottaz - to set May 21st from 8 a.m. until noon as Lake Elmo <br />Clean up day. (Motion carried 4-0). <br />D. Recodification <br />Administrator Kueffner explained the PZ did not feel they have the time to go <br />through and rewrite the code. When she explained the ordinances had already <br />been incorporated into the code by the League of MN cities, they felt it would be <br />a job better done by the staff to check to see if all the ordinances are <br />incorporated. If there are sections of the code the council feels need rewriting, <br />then this is a separate issue. The attorney for the League has already reviewed <br />the code and made recommendations. <br />The concern is not completing the recodification. The staff will prepare list of the <br />sections of the code added or changed and Mary will incorporate the ordinances <br />into the code. There is no money in the planning budget for what the Planner <br />has proposed. The Council will form a strategy on how to complete the <br />recodification at the March 22 recodification workshop. <br />E. Letter from Representative Pam Neary <br />The council received a letter from Rep. Pam Neary requesting the city's support <br />of her recent bill on annexations. The council was not in favor of endorsing this <br />bill, but favored proposing a study of the entire Municipal Planning/Annexation <br />laws. <br />M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to adjourn the meeting at 9:40 p.m. (Motion carried 4- <br />0). <br />
