The City did not use the services of Springsted in 1997 for bonding, but did in 1996 for the sewer and water in Section 33. In 1997, Springsted prepared the financial analysis that was done in conjunction with the 1-94 Study. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to approve Springsted Company as the City's Financial Advisor for 1998. (Motion passed 5-0). H. Appointments to Planning Commission Our code states that Planning Commission terms should be staggered so that no more than three seats expire in any one-year. There was confusion when we changed form 9 to 7 members, which resulted in five terms expiring in 1999, and one in 1997. To be in compliance with our code, and to make sure that there isn't a potential of losing five members in one year, Administrator Kueffner suggested that the Council reappoint some members to three-year terms so that we can stay on track. Jim McLeod's term does expire on December 31, 1997. The Administrator recommended that Jim McLeod, along with Tim Mandel and Valarie Brass be appointed to three-year terms. She will contact Mr. Mandel and Ms. Brass to explain this error to them. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to appoint Jim McLeod, Tim Mandel and Valerie Brass to three-year terms on the Planning Commission starting January, 1998, and expiring December 31, 2000 and commend Bob Helwig for having perfect attendance and Margaret Carlson with only two absences. (Motion passed 5-0). L Appointments to Parks Commission The terms of Gloria Knoblauch and Steve Peterson expire on December 31, 1997. When Bob Schumacher was appointed as a full -voting member, he should have been appointed to serve out the term of Ron Kuehn. Administrator Kueffner recommended that Gloria, Steve and Bob be appointed to three-year terms beginning January, 1998 and expiring December 31, 2000. M/S/P DeLapp/Conlin — to appoint Gloria Knoblauch, Steve Peterson and Bob Schumacher to three-year terms on the Parks Commission commencing January, 1998 and expiring December 31, 2000.

Appointments to Community Education Advisory Boards Administrator Kueffner will continue to contact Nancy Hansen, the current 834 Board Representative, to see if she is interested in the appointment. An advertisement for Community Education Advisory Boards (622, 832, 834) will be inserted in the City Newsletter. K. Resolution Establishing Fees (Postponed to January 20 Council meeting) L. Solid Waste Advisory Committee There were several attempts to call a Solid Waste meeting in 1997, but City Staff were unable to get enough of the members together to have a quorum. Administrator Kueffner felt this committee did an excellent job getting our recycling program going. The members have met the goals they set for themselves, and there may no longer be a need for a full committee. Kueffner has talked to Margaret Carlson, who indicated she is interested in serving as an advisor on solid waste issues, which may come up. She has also discussed the possibility of turning recycling over to the contractors that are licensed in the LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 6, 1998
