Maintenance Building Update City Administrator Kueffner recommended Lake Elmo postpone construction of a maintenance facility this Fall because it is difficult for the City to chose the best location for the maintenance facility when the future of many areas in the City remains undecided. Lake Elmo is working on studies for the 1-94 Corridor, Old Village, and Cluster zoning proposals. The City should take a look at where growth Is gong to occur. Even after further study, the City may still chose to erect the facility on the Berschen site. Administrator Kueffner believed the City can work out an interim plan until the City analyzes the results of the study before selection of a final site for a new maintenance facility. Mayor John Indicated he wasn't necessarily in favor of postponement, but the City had to recognize that the facility would not be completed by November. This gives us the opportunity to look to make sure we found the right solution which is all that we are doing. M/S/P Conlin/Hunt - to postpone further consideration on the maintenance facility until the next Council meeting when staff will provide the Council with an interim plan for accommodating the fire and maintenance dept.
