SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: An amendment to the October 7, 2014 minutes has been
requested by Council Members Nelson and Reeves. The intent is to better reflect the comments made by a resident regarding the historical flood damage to a lake Elmo neighborhood. As the subject minutes were already approved by Council consensus on October 21, 2014, under Robert’s Rules of Order, the Council
must now make a motion to amend something previously adopted. In order to make the amendment, the recommended motion is:
“Move to amend something previously adopted by making the requested changes to the October 7, 2014 City Council Meeting Minutes.” REQUESTED CHANGES:
On Page 4 of 7. Ray Strege (and wife Glenda) 8808 36th St N., spoke in opposition to the Kenridge Addition project. He is concerned that the feasibility report did not contain a low pavement subdrain free alternative. Mr. Strege summarized frost damage. Mr. Strege also asserted that garbage truck traffic had the most impact
on the streets. The past flooding issues in the neighborhood were described. Mr. Strege stated that installation of an infiltration area at the location indicated could, once again, create situations in [their] home that are not decent, safe or sanitary and will render the house unfit for human habitation. [They] do
not want to relive the flooding conditions of 20 to 40 years ago. He asked that council not hold the public hearing if project will not be done until 2017.
