LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 1, 1994 would be a storm sewer system into the Tri lakes outlet. It would have to be restricted in size so as not to impact the capacity of the Tri lakes outlet, but it would provide a way for this area to drain down rather than just rely on seepage. If the council feels this idea has some merit, Bohrer asked for council direction to write a letter to the VBWD and see if they would allow this type of connection. If they would, then the city could proceed to the next step, which would be cost estimate and an improvement hearing. M/S/P Mottaz/John - to direct the city engineer to contact the VBWD to see if they would allow some type of pipe connection in their storm sewer system to provide a way for the area located at 8801 37th St. N. (Ray Boche) to drain down rather than just rely on seepage.. (Motion passed 5-0). 9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: A. Curfew Ordinance (continuation) A revised curfew ordinance was presented to the council. Council member Conlin asked, "If I allow my child to be out after midnight because of something I feel is important, would that be in violation of the ordinance?" Filla answered as long as the activity is not illegal and it is with the consent of the parent or guardian, there would not be a curfew violation. M/S/P Johnson/John to bring back to the table the motion to accept the amendments and adopt the ordinance relating to the implementation of curfew within the city of Lake Elmo. (Motion passed 5-0). Council member Conlin suggested publishing the proposed curfew ordinance in the newsletter to inform the residents that the council is considering such an ordinance. M/S/P Johnston/Mottaz - to hold a public hearing before the adoption of the curfew ordinance. (Motion passed 5-0). 10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor John reported when he was out talking to residents in the city a number of people asked what was the position in relation to the 3M property on the east side of Ideal and Highway 5. John contacted Don Jordan, 3M Company, who confirmed they had no specific plan in developing that property. It still remained in their long term proposal for when the appropriate opportunity arose. As the new liaison with the city council and HPC, Sue Schiltgen Johnson, Chair of the HPC asked that Councilman Mottaz convey her feelings with regard to the events that took place at the city council meeting of October 4,1994. Mottaz read Johnson's memo summarizing her feelings of the moment with regard to Lee Hunt's allegation of open meeting violations against the HPC and the handling of this situation by the council.
