LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1995 In previous negotiations, Administrator Kueffner explained, we discussed leasing or purchasing the property on which the maintenance buildings are located as well as the compost site and the fire station. With the change in the State law, where cleanup is going to be paid for through ad valorem taxes rather than the Counties, we should try to recover all of our expenses and ask that the MPCA, or Washington and Ramsey Counties buy us out and relocate our maintenance building, fire station, and compost and brush site. Attorney Filla indicated it would be nice to find something in writing which documents the discussions of parties at the time this deal was put together. The amount of knowledge that the city had as to the condition of this property before construction of maintenance building is information he doesn't have. M/S/P John/Johnston - to authorize the City Attorney and City Administrator to investigate background to see if there is any correspondence to support obligation on the part of the Counties and indicate to the county that we expect to get full reimbursement of replacement costs for the total site. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Proposal to City of Oakdale (Continuation) M/S/P Conlin/Hunt - to direct the Mayor, City Engineer, and City Administrator to attend the meeting with Oakdale and the Metropolitan Council regarding the proposal as presented and to negotiate in good faith the conditions set forth in said proposal so that recommendations can be made to each council. (Motion passed 5-0). 8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Partial Payment to Tower Asphalt for MSA Project In a letter dated December 30,1994, Tom Prew explained that this pay request covers all work completed in 1994, and reduced the retainage to $1,000.
