LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1995 M/S/P Hunt/John - to direct the City Administrator to send a letter to Washington County stating Inwood Avenue by 27th Street is in dangerous condition and should be corrected immediately and upgraded by 1996, if not in 1995. (Motion passed 5-0). Council member Conlin explained it has been brought to their attention during Board of Review that 15th Street is in such bad shape that one needs a 4-wheel drive to get into their homes. The gravel is off the road and into the ditches making it difficult for the homeowners to cut the ditches. Larry Bohrer will offer his assistance to Dan Olinger on what can be done to resolve the problem. 8. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: A. Junker Landfill Update Attorney Filla reported the estimated clean-up cost is $20 million with Lake Elmo's share being $3,300 if the allocation is on a volume basis. For that amount of money it's hard to justify not to participate in this agreement as opposed to incurring legal fees that would be greater. Filla suggested executing the Junker Landfill agreement and submit the $5,000 payment subject to the following conditions as adopted by the City Council as shown below: M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to authorize the Mayor to execute the Junker Landfill agreement and submit $5,000 payment subject to: 1. Verification that costs will be allocated on a volumetric basis, 2. Verification that estimated volume of Junker Landfill site is approx. 4.5 million cubic yards, 3. Verification that Lake Elmo's contribution to the Junker Landfill is approximately 1,500 cubic yards. (Motion passed 5-0). 9.
