APPROVED MINUTES: November 18,1997 JOINT SPECIAL MEETING BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE TOWN BOARD OF BAYTOWN TOWNSHIP, THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO, AND THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS TO DISCUSS ANNEXATION ISSUES AND RELATIVE LEGAL ISSUES OCTOBER 8,1997 Vice -Mayor of Lake Elmo, Lee Hunt, called the meeting to order at 5:05 p.m, in the Council Chambers of the Lake Elmo City Hall. PRESENT in addition to the Vice -Mayor, representing Lake Elmo were Councilors Rita Conlin, Steve DeLapp, Sue Dunn, Administrator Mary Kueffner, and Attorney Jerry Filla. Representing Baytown were the Town Board Chair Ron Fredcove and Board Members Anders Hansen, Bill Nelsen, and Brian Nichols, and Clerk Pat St. Claire and Attorney Dave Magnuson. Representing Oak Park Heights were Mayor Dave Schaaf, Councilors Janet Robert, Jerry Tumquist, Administrator Mike Robertson and Attorney Mark Vierling. Acting Mayor Hunt proposed that the discussion be focused on identifying the issues of concern to each of the three parties and determining if there is a possible basis for resolving any of the issues outside the State Municipal Board and the Courts. After some discussion, Acting Mayor Hunt asked if each of the three parties would be willing to compile a list of issues of contention, as they see them. He suggested that after preparation of the lists, one person from each community could meet in public session to see where there might be any possibility for achieving common ground and where this would not be possible. A report would be drafted at this meeting and given to each community with the hope that in three or four weeks a follow-up meeting of the -officials of each jurisdiction could be held. This concept was supported by consensus of those present. The meeting was adjourned at 6:12 p.m. --------------------------------------- Respectfully submitted by Sharon Lumby, Deputy City Clerk
