The Council reviewed a February 12, 1982, letter from Dennis-
Dailey, Supervisor, Realty Specialtists Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (Mn/DNR). Mr. Dailey was present to answer
questions about the Mn/DNR proposal to acquire two lots for the
public access on Lake Demontreville.
The letter indicated that Mn/DNR would be willing to enter into an
agreement whereby the City would control the development and use
of the two lots. Mn/DNR cannot enter into any covenant on the
second lot which prohibits its use by the Mn/DNR. The Mn/DNR
is otherwise willing to let the City control the use of the second
lot and to limit development at the public access to what the City
approved for the one lot.
Dailey indicated it would take two to three months for the Mn/DNR
to conclude acquisition of the lots and begin development of the
public access. He would like a letter from the City indicating
the City understands the proposal set forth in his February 12
( letter and that the City would be willing to enter into an
\ agreement to develop and maintain the access. The Council agreed
the Administrator should write such a letter.

6. USE OF FIRE HALL - FIRE CHIEF BRUCE KUETTNER;
Chief Kuettner presented the Fire Departements request and
position to turn the responsibility -sand use of the old Council
Chambers over to the Fire Department. The Department indicated
the hall could be used by community groups; but, they would like
to control that use.
--Morgan -all .City property .is_a City, resource - would like to
understand why the Fire Department feels they need to have control
over the hall. No problem with the Firemen having use of the
fire hall; but, questions why they feel they must have control.
Kuettner - they do not want control; but, responsibility (for
the hall and its use). Firemen's feelings about taking over -the
responsibility of the hall are'based on abuse of the facility
and Fire Department property in the past. Several keys to the
Fire Hall are out and unaccounted for; department equipment has
been found missing; furniture has been damaged, with no restitution
or repair made.- just asking for control and responsibility of
saying who comes in and who goes out. Want to know when someone
from Lake Elmo or outside of Lake Elmo is.. using the Fire
Department's building. Want to protect the fire trucks as well
as equipment purchased by the Fire Department, Requested that
the locks to the building be changed and limit the number of keys
that are issued.
--Morgan - what the Firemen are asking can be handled by changing
the locks and limiting the keys. Feels this request is more for
making the hall area into a recreational area for the firemen.
Nothing wrong with this; but cannot exclude the rest of the City
from having use of the area .upon request.
( - Kuettner - related problems involving the Jaycees -and -their use
of, the fire hall.
--Novak - would be more responsible if the office kept -the calandar
of requests; but need to make those individuals who use the hall
better aware of the rulesand regulations on use. As far as
recreational use - use the smaller area behind the Council Chambers
for actual recreation and have the Council area or the whole
fire hall be primarily used for the firemen's education or meetings
and programs for the department. Community groups would have to
fit into the Fire Department's schedule for its use.
--Kuettner - this is the objective of the firemen - bothers him
that the Council feels this will only be used as a recreational
area. Needed an area for the men to sleep after the Stillwater
fire. Need a break area.
--Fraser - someone has to control the building - logical groups
to do this are the -,City staff or the firemen. Reasonable and logical
that the firemen should want this responsibility and control.
Firemen in a better position to control. Fire Department and the
Council need to work together .to set the limits,and_define the
parameters of use. Would not like to see things that would give
the impression that the hall was a 'party hideaway'.
--Kuettner - Not intented to be used as a recreational room. Firemen
would like to get together with a Council member and work out the
guidelines for uses. Willing to open the hall up to anyone when
not being used by the Fire Department. Fire Department will also
ast tume�the responssbility °of keeping the hall clean.
--Fraser - volunteered to work wiLh a Fire Department representative(s)
to work on the guidelines for use, maintenance etc. of the Fire Hall.
A•reporta will be prepared for Council consideration.
--Mottaz - this is the only community space available - shares
Morgan's position that the City Office should control the use of
the Fire Hail - this space should be made available to the community.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1982
-3-
USE OF FIRE HALL:
--Mottaz - Best way to -handle is through City administratmon
scheduling the use of the .boom, In doing this,preference would
be given to the Fire Department for their use. As much as
possible should be a community space.
-..Kuettner - feels very strongly about the things taken for granted
by the Jaycees - Firemen have made the Jaycees aware of this, also.
--Eder this question will be addressed more fully after the
preliminary guidelines have been drafted by the Council and Fire
Department representatives.
7. RESERVATIONS AND RENTAL OF FIRE HALL:
Whittaker reported that no other city in this area 'rents out its
meeting hall,
--Fraser - in regard to renting the fire hall or the Council Chambers -
charging is a reasonable thing to do - costs money to have and
maintain a facility - not unreason&ble to expect users to contribute
to that cost. Feels this is the way to go.
--Novak - prefers not to charge until there is a problem in cost
and maintenance. If a problem arises,then determine wh,ether•to
continue use of the facility or charge.
--Eder - length of use may be the determining factor for charging.
--Morgan - if its a publicly owned building, it should be free to
the public. Lake Elmo priorities should come first.
--Mottaz - agrees - address when a problem arises.
--Council agreed reservations for use of the fire hall meeting room
should be made through the City Office ..-..d.rganizations should be
primarily.non-profit and essentially Lake Elmo oriented. Use by
the Fire Department to take priority over any other use.
8. LEASE FOR OLD OFFICE BUILDING:
The Council considered the lease agreement drafted by the Administrator,.
and reviewed by the City Attorney.
Attorney Marshall answered questions on damage deposits and a
renewal clause for a short term lease. The agreement, as written,
is for a five year lease.
M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to advertise, for lease, the old City Office
building, per the conditions of the lease agreement.
9. IIOWARD SPRINGBORN - LIMITS ON AFTER HOURS USE OF GREEN ACRES:
The Council discussed the number of after hour events held in
1981, hours of operation and after hour events for 1982.
--Mottaz - wanted to know what exists and is permitted at Green
Acres now.
--Whittaker - this is indicated on the current CUP. Hours of
operation and a limit on after hour events need to be determined.
--Fraser - need to see the permit and its language and limits.
--Whittaker - conditions of all the permits were summarized on the
CUP permit list last November. Deal with the after hour events
question then will address additional questions or provide additional
information from the file.
MIS/ Fraser/Eder to adopt R-82-7, am?ndinq the Conditional Use Permit
for Green Acres with the following additions:
1. Hours of operation will end at 10:00 p.m. on Sunday thru Thursday;
and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
2. A maximum of 12 after hours events will be permitted per year.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1982 -4-
9. SPRINGBORN GREEN ACRES REC CUP,Continued:
Discussion:
--Morgan - d.o.these 12 after hour events include a beer license?
--Fraser - motion did not address beer at all - they would not,
therefore, include a beer license.autpmatically.
--Whittaker - beer licenses would have to be considered separately
by the Council.
--Springborn - in response to Councillor Fraser, Mr. Springborn
said the number of events and hours were agreeable.
--Morgan - would you want to limit the hour for an after hour event?
--Council - the Council expressed no immediate need to set a time
limit on after hours events.
Motion carried 4-1. Mottaz opposed.
10. OAKDALE GUN CLUB PERMIT FOR 1982:
The Council reviewed the letter from Fred A. Waterous, Feb. 15, RE:
Additional Information, as..requested by the Administrator in his
letter of Feb. 8, 1982.
Roger Jensen, attorney retained by the Gun Club, introduced
himself as the spokesman for the Club. . He noted :that he
was not a member of the Gun Club; but has discussed this matter
several times with the Administrator and was hereto answer any
questions the Council might have.
--Eder - asked about identifying the range officers, now that
club membership has increased. Previously all members were
referred to as range officers, would it be acceptable to change
the permit to specify -that Senior Members be designated to
act as a range officer.
--Jensen - your Ordinance requires that a member is qualified to act
as a range officer - do not think City can require that (Eder's
suggestion) without amending the Ordinance. Club has plans to
change the procedure that has been in effect, doing it voluntarily,
think it is a safe procedure and maybe during the time of the-1982
pemit this can be discussed and agreement .reached - may want to
amend the Ordinance during this interm to reflect the proper way
of handling the range. What is intented, and what has changed
from past years is that there will be one Senior Member in charge
on days when the range is in operation and it is necessary to
have a range officer. He will be a lead man, under him there will
be five other qualified members, who will work under him and be
on one or more of the ranges that are in operation on any given day.
The Senior Officer will have additional qualifications beyond the
qualifications of all members have - feel this will be a safe
operation and also allow the City to have a person that is responsible
on any given day if a problem occurs. City staff can contact that
individual in charge, City will have his phone number, and he will
be readily identifiable.
--Mottaz - not eager to do a piecemeal review and update of this
permit. Obvious we will not be able to complete what we wanted
to complete in the time allowed, therefore, would offer the following
motion
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1982
-5-
10. OAKDALE GUN CLUB - CONTINUED:
( M/S/ Mottaz/Morgan to adopting R-82=-8, approviTg a CUP for
the Oakdale Gun Club for 1982., The limits and conditions of the
permit will remain the same as the 1981 permit, Also, the Mayor
will appoint a Council member or members to work with the Gun
Club to up -date and clarify the conditions of the permit before
renewal review for 1983.
Discussion:
--Eder - suggested incorporating their general philosophy about
how they see 1982, so there is an understanding between the City
and the Club. A,letter of understanding would assure them that
the City would permit and encourage them to make the necessary
noise improvements during 1982.
--Mottaz - would like to tour the facility and have the operation
explained.
--Morgan - volunteered to work on a committee with the Club.
--Jensen - motion dealt with a Special Use Permit. The Special
Use Permit is not up for renewal - the Target Range Permit is
up for renewal. This makes a considerable difference as to
whether we are dealing with a SUP or a Target Range Permit. The
Target Range Permit is renewed on a year to year basis.
--Mottaz - The Conditional Use Permit (Special Use Permit) is also
renewed yearly.
--Jensen - As I read the Ordinance the CUP is one that is not
renewed on a year to year basis.
--Whittaker - This is not my interpretation. Thinks the Ordinance
is clear that these are annual permits.
Marshall - Concurs;:with Whittaker - we are talking about an
annual permit - disagrees with Mr. Jensens interpretation.
--Jensen - nothing in the Ordinance that makes the Special Use
Permit that the Oakdale Gun Club has a year to year permit. Its
a Special Use Permit that was granted originally by the Oakdale
Town Board and when Oakdale was incorporated within the City
limits of Lake Elmo, was grandfathered in. Have a clause in the
Special Use Permit Ordinance that states that all special uses
In effect prior to the adoption of the Special Use Ordinance
continue in effect. There is nothing in that that makes the
Oakdale Gun Club's Special Use Permit a year to year permit.
Understands that if came before the Council now and asked for a
new Special Use Permit or an amendment, could then tack on a year
to year condition. This is not the case here. In the past have
renewed the Target Range Permit. This is by ordinance a year to
year permit.
--Mottaz - On this matter would take the opinion of the City Attorney
as opposed to yours. What is before us now is a Special Use Permit.
All other SUP's are on an annual basis - does not see how this one
differs. Motion stands as stated.
--Jensen - CLitb.intends to go ahead with the noise abatement
improvements this year. They will advise the Administrator
when this work will be done and the schedule they will follow.
They intend to follow the outline of recommendations in the
noise abatement report. They will also initiate the change for
Senior Officer, lead man, as explained previously.
Mr. Jensen requested the opportunity to write the Council a letter
on their position as to whether this is a Special Use Permit or
a Target Range Permit, to be reviewed by the City Attorney.
Motion carried 4-0-1. Novak abstained. Mottaz and Morgan will
work with the C1ub,..as Council°representatives.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1982
11. ENGINEERS REPORT:
A. MSA Assessment Formula -
Administrator Whittaker reviewed his memo of February
16, regarding assessment alternatives for MSA Street Projects,
outlining three alternatives as they would apply on a per lot
basis.
The Council discussed the alternatives at length.LL questions
and concerns included: deferring Green Acre payments; bond
interest; availability and amount of MSA funds; ineligible cost
assessment only; advantages of ahard-surface vs rough, often
muddy graveled surface with condideration to cost: road alignment -
present roadbed vs moving onto section line; road alignment and
its influence on adjacent properties; costs to residents; assessments
vs City assuming assessments for land in Ag Preserve.
--Morgan - would like to verify the motion approving the alignment
of the roadbed on the section .line.
--Mottaz-Morgan-Novak - concurred that the ineligible costs should
be assessed as each project comes up. Do a portion at a time as
money is available.
--Mottaz - road program was decided years ago, need was established,
and direction set. Have to look at what is best for the entire
City - not always agreeable to all residents. Has been established
that this road program was good for the whole City. Has been
discussed at length for over three years.
MIS/ Mottaz/Morgan to adopt Assessment Alternative III, as
outlined in the Administrator's memo of February 16, 1982,"Re:
Assessment alternatives for MSA Street Projects", Assessing
only the ineligible costs for each project.
Discussion:
--Whittaker - asked for clarification of which project the formula
would be applied to. Asked the engineer for a explaination of
interest costs and how they are handled.
--Bohrer - explained 'how bond inferes.t is paid out of the' -.
maintenance portion of MSA Funds.
After further discussing interest costs, maintenance funds, and
Ag Preserves, Mottaz withdrew his motion„ stating he is unclear
about the maintenance funds. Morgan supported Mottaz's action,
indicating confusion of all the numbers and options.
The Council discussed only doing the Keats segment of the project,
with assessment costs to property owners not in Ag Preserves.
M/S/ Morgan/Novak, to defer action until March 2, during which
time the City Engineer will develop a simplified outline of both
projects, an. assessment procedure for assessing only ineligible
costs, and the cost per lot After-ekaminatimg those parcels that
would be covered under Ag preserves, and the City's share should
it pick up the amount for those parcels in Ag preserve. This
outline to address the combined project and the Keats Avenue, only,
project;- with and without bond interest.
Discussion:
--Bohrer - confirmed the intent of the motion to eliminate considera
of a long term project plan.
Motion carried 4-1. Fraser opposed. Fraser believes the long term
plan needs to be considered.
Mayor Eder noted that time will need to be set aside to address
questions and concerns from residents, as were listed in a letter
dated February 16, and signed by 10 property owners along Keats Ave.

11. ENGINEER'S REPORT:
B. Authorization for fee to proceed with MSA project -
Enginee`r�o inr reviewed-tfie C ncils'irfst�tzcEions-tc reactivate
the project for 45th, Julep, and 47th Streets and complete the
plans and specifications. His estimate to complete the additional
work is $3,000. Although,_-thig"mount was. not authorized, this
$3,00:0 will not exceed'the estimated amount for the combined
projects. Bohrer noted that from a construction standpoint it
would be better if both projects could be done.
--Mottaz - eventually going to do the 45th, Julep, 47th Street
project and this work will be necessary.
MIS/ Mottaz/Fraser to authorize $3,000 to complete the plans
and specifications for 45th, Julep, and 47th Streets, MSA Project.
Motion carried 3-1-1. Novak opposed. Eder abstained.
C. Jamaca Avenue - Assessment -\Order Feasibility Study and Hearing The Coincillreviewed a proposed assessment area, -and discussed
extending the area to spread the cost, feeling many additional
residences in the area arereceiving benefit from this road section.
--Novak - would like to leave this road section as it is or use
City funds to pave it.
--Eder - asked if cost could be reduced by laying out the
information, having a contractor do the work like on a City street,
with City inspection after completion.
--Bohrer - would have to verify the legal dollar limitations -
regardless, would need a couple of quotes. Informal quotes would
save on plan preparation for bidding - could have a general
description of the work. Still need to stake out the work.
--Morgan - cannot see assessing only the--residences.with,frdntage
on -the improvement � assessment tcohigh (fi1,218.75 to $3,250).
--Bohrer - present assessment procedures, unless a special taxing
district, an improvement district, is used, the benefit has to
be tied to an increase in market value. This is the courts
interpretation.
--Fraser - disagrees with statement in memo that it would be
difficult to show increase in property value for people on Jane
Court N. (majority of these residences petitioned to have this
road section opened). These residences have an increased value,
now,in that they have the accessibility of the road.
--Whittaker - in response to Mottaz's question - if we do nothing
it will cost $9,000 next year.
M/S/ Morgan/Novak to defer discussion of paving the remaining
portion of Jamaca Avenue (Jamaca Gate portion).
Discussion:
--Novak - as residents with frontage on said portion of Jamaca Ave.
are already being served by a street, it would be hard to pay
they are benefited by this improvement.
--Eder - based on current information - most of the traffic flows
north - should not have problem proving benefit to a reasonable
number of people on Jane Road N and 4ane Ct.-N.
D. Well Maintenance -
After reviewing the Engineer's letter of recommendation "Recommended
Maintenance - Well Pump No. 1, February 10, 1982" the Council agreed

M/S/. Novak/Morgan to reappoint Bill Osborn to a three year term
on the Park Commission, effective March 1, 1982.-.

information that all the members were going to resign. Feels
this should be done in a more orderly manner. As a procedural
matter, could not v°ot-e-on-,the _f-reaupointment:
--Morgan - explained that the six Commission members would remain
on the Commission if he stayed on. He has agreed to stay on the
Commission.

and determine if it can be delayed for a year.
M/S/P Morgan/Mottaz to adopt R-82-9, approving 1982 Budget cuts
with the exception of the seal coating recommendation, which
would also be adopted upon the Engineer's recommendation:

Reserve to balance the snow plowing budget®
3. Apply the surplus in the insurance account ($3,000)
to the shortfall in State Aids.

sealcoating in 1983 ($6,500). (This is contingent on
a recommendation from the City Engineer)

called out to the scene rather than the Lake Elmo Rescue
Unit. Whittaker will talk to the duputies.
15. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
A. Office Cleaning -
Whittaker suggested the Council consider contracting with Peterson
Building Maintenance to clean the City Office at $65/mo. This
is considerably less than having the Maintenance men do the work
in both time and money.
MIS/ Fraser/Eder to contract with Peterson Building Maintenance,
to do office cleaning, on a three month trial basis @ $65/mo.
