PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL: Lenore Mottaz, 8770 Demontreville Tr., asked the council if it was legal for local newspapers to place or throw their papers in peoples driveways or lawns - the ones in plastic bags? Mrs. Mottaz stated it appears to be littering because so many people do not pick them up, and the papers end up on the streets and in the ditches. City Administrator Kueffner stated she will issue a notice in the City Newsletter encouraging residents to pick up local newspapers when they see them lying around and properly recycle them. M/S/P Mottaz/John - to direct the City Administrator to write a letter to each of the local publishing companies notifying them that throwing their newspapers on public property is in violation of the City's litter ordinance. (Motion passed 4-0.) Gloria Knoblauch, 9181 31st St. N., stated she'd been reading the latest letters to the editor regarding Oakdale creating a golf course with less houses around it than previously planned, and now Lake Elmo is "bucking" them, and in her opinion Lake Elmo should sell the land to Oakdale and get that golf course developed. Mayor John stated his objection is that part of the property involved is located in Lake Elmo and Oakdale intends to condemn and annex that property and has not approached Lake Elmo at all regarding this plan.
