LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 7, 1995 4 Larry Bohrer commented that Oakdale could notify Lake Elmo with one years notice for the discontinuation of any water service. A one year time will be sufficient for Lake Elmo to physically construct a water system. Regarding the sanitary sewer, Oakdale really cannot notify Lake Elmo that it must disconnect from the joint sewer project. That would not be physically possible. Paragraph #9 should be changed to state "....Oakdale agrees to give the city one year written notice before it requires the City of Lake Elmo to return any loaned sewer capacity or before it disconnects..." Oakdale Council member O'Hara explained he was glad that we have some sort of ar agreement and thought this is a good solution to the problem. In answer to the sewer capacity for the homes in Section 32/33, Oakdale could not approve, as far as attempting to sewer those homes, until this issue was resolved. O'Hara hoped to get this going as soon as it can and felt its time for us to bury the hatchet. In regard to Paragraph #7, Council member DeLapp asked what does this refer to -- need more detail. Change to read "Lake Elmo also agrees to support Oakdale with respect to its golf course requests in regard to comprehensive plan amendments including MUSA and C-tap Financing package or words of substantial and similar impact." M/S/P Johnston/Conlin - that the City of Lake Elmo authorizes Mayor John to attend the 2-14-95 Oakdale City Council Meeting for the purpose of executing this Agreement (Detachment and Annexation of Land), as amended, in the following manner (Paragraph #7: insert clause at end: "in regard to comprehensive plan amendments and including MUSA and C-tap financing package or words of substantial and similar impact", Paragraph #9: last two lines of page 2: "written notice before it requires Lake Elmo to return any loaned sewer capacity or before it disconnects Lake Elmo..."). (Motion passed 5-0). Joint Resolution of the Cities of Lake Elmo and Oakdale: Larry Bohrer pointed out a concern with describing property referencing the center line of a road because the center line of roads can change over time. Attorney Filla responded the concern was primarily with emergency vehicles and fire protection. They wanted the agreement to pick a line so that when vehicles were called out for emergency purposes people would not have to guess whether this particular part of County Road 13 was in Lake Elmo or Oakdale. Administrator Kueffner had talked to Steve Pott, in charge of Washington County Communications, who has no problem with designating the center line. Kueffner asked if all of the road and right-of-way would stay in Lake Elmo, would there be a loss of state aid? Bohrer answered that would be true if a border road was a municipal state aid street. In this particular case, both border roads CSAH 10 on the North, CSAH 13 on the East of Oakdale are both county state aid highways. Bohrer didn't believe there would be any affect whatsoever on municipal state aid for either Lake Elmo or Oakdale
