LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 1995 Larry Bohrer has discussed with Randy Peterson, the concern on when laying the pipe along Lake Jane Trail there is a single T-watermain where 81 homes in the affected landfill area, are relying on this main for water and cannot be taken out of service. M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to direct the City to send a letter to VBWD voicing its opinion that this project bid be let this Fall, and the project should start in the Spring with reason being the risk of closing down Lake Jane Trail, which is a main thorough fare, is too high should there be an early melt and the road becomes non -passable. (Motion passed 5-0). Gordon Moosbrugger, VBWD Board Manager, stated the pond level has subsided and the plug does not need to be pulled yet, but during the spring thaw it might be necessary to pull the plug. The VBWD adopted a motion to direct Zetterberg to negotiate an extension of an easement across Mr. Winkel's property back into the lake until January 31,1996 or construction, whichever is first. At a public meeting on July 31, President Zetterberg said that allowing the pond to permanently flow into Olson Lake was not an option since the DNR probably would not grant a long-term permit. Council member Johnston stated her disappointment with the Board of Managers, as a whole, in the granting of the permit extension when it was said at the hearing that no such extension would be requested or granted. C. St. Croix Valley Youth Bureau - Request for Funding M/S/P John/DeLapp - to postpone discussion until Mr. Weiler, St. Croix Valley Youth Bureau can attend meeting. (Motion passed 5-0). 6.
