The staff has found this requirement to be burdensome and it has not been complied with for some time. The Finance Director, with concurrence from the City Administrator recommended the $50 price point be changed to $200 to be consistent with the requirements for obtaining quotations. The policy should also be modified to specify that the quotes need to be in writing for all purchases, budgeted or unbudgeted, $200 to $1000. This will help ensure the City has the appropriate documentation for audits. The provisions for purchases in excess of $1000 will remain unchanged.

The total assessment amount, including the additional items requested by the property owner is $180,641.50. The interest rate for each option is 8%. Since this project is financed with City funds, the cost of using internal funds is based on the current rate of return plus 2%.

The City Planner prepared a Resolution of Appointment for Council consideration.

The applicant maintains that existing tree cover and steep slopes at the rear and side of the principal structure preclude any other location for the storage structure on this parcel. The structure would be located at the 10 foot side and 30 foot front setback lines; and, would be 16 feet deep by 10 feet wide. Staff had reviewed the site and suggested that there would be tree removal and/or grading issues with placement of a storage structure elsewhere on the site.

(Motion passed 4-0.) 10.CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Update on Olinger Property Rental Agreement The City Administrator reported this issue came up when she questioned why the charge for storage on the Olinger property increased from $1500 to $3000 per year. She said she was never a part of any negotiating for storage on the Olinger property. The City Administrator had asked Dan Olinger for a summary of what was being stored on his property. When she received this information, she asked why are we paying to LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 15, 2002 store old equipment no longer in service and storing culverts owned by the Watershed. Mike Bouthilet was asked to remove and dispose of the junk from the property. Mike Bouthilet stated we are storing pumping pipes for the VBWD. The street sweepings are buildup material from over the years. He said the cement culverts and material will be hard to get rid of and that we may have to pay to have the culverts removed. The woodchips have been moved to Sunfish Park. Mike said we have room for what we should keep and he will find out land rental prices. The City Planner is talking to Shaefer Mining about taking the sweepings. Council member DeLapp suggested the City go with the original contract and find out what we do owe him. There was no previous agreement. He stated he knew the VBWD was storing materials on the property and money should come from them. Council member Armstrong stated this contract was dawn up a year ago and it's terrible we haven't paid this. The city should check with the Olingers and see if they want to do something further. Council member Siedow stated we should look at what the going rate is and remove as much stuff by the end of the year. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — that the $3,000 per year charge for storage on the Olinger property is honored and that the material is removed by the end of year. (Motion passed 4-0). B. Personnel Committee Recommendations The City Administrator reported the Personnel Committee met and reviewed the job evaluations done on all employees. It was noted that Susan Herreid, Sand Creek Group, did sit in on some of the job reviews. The Committee also reviewed and recommended approval of the 2002 pay schedule and the Organizational Chart.

He suggested the 2002 pay schedule be sent to the Finance Committee. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong - to postpone discussion on the 2002 pay schedule and organizational chart until the Thursday, October 17th Finance Meeting so that the Committee can receive a list of holidays, the number of comp time hours, overtime hours, vacation days for each employee and then add this item to the Council meeting. (Motion passed 4-0.) The City Administrator reported the Personnel Committee discussed the immediate needs of the maintenance department. Mike Bouthilet recommended that the city contract out one of the routes; that we hire someone for stand by to do only sanding, and to hire one temporary person for snowplowing and other winter work.

M/S/P DeLapp/ Armstrong — to reinstate the MAC as a standalone committee and the conduit would have to go thru staff. (Motion passed 4-0.)

She would like to see a position description and recommendation for pay requested by the Council so she could proceed with finding someone to support the staff. Council member Armstrong was not in favor of hiring another person. Council member DeLapp suggested keeping track of who gets the calls and that the Council should purchase a new phone system with direct dial to each employee's phone. Council member DeLapp showed what looked like a bullet hole through his campaign sign which was located in front of his yard. Council member Dunn reported the Fire Department's Open House went well.

Expires Jan. 31, 2005 TOLTZ, KING, DUVALL, ANDERSON AND ASSOCIATES, INCORPORATED An Equal Opportunity Employer In regards to the Met Council not accepting our comp plan:' It is my opinion that we may be taking the wrong course of action regarding the Met Council. While I think we could win a court battle it definately is not a sure thing - nothing is in a court case. If we lose, Lake Elmo will be developed as the only the Met Council sees us being developed. At this point I think the Met Council knows Lake Elmo is serious about taking this to court and they could lose and Lake Elmo wouldn't have to listen to a word they say. This would also set a. precedent for other cities that I am sure the Met Council wouldn't like. With all this in mind maybe there is a compromise out there somewhere where the Met Council could get some higher density development in a limited area and the greater majority of Lake Elmo is left to decide for itself. I would also like to point out that I am not for severing the entire city of Lake Elmo, as council member DeLapp has stated many times that I am. N we were to have some area with higher density developement (ie: the I-94 corridor) I think that area should be sewered.
