HomeMy WebLinkAbout06-02-87 Special CCM•T'' r SPECIAL LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES ~ JUNE 2, 1987 Mayor Arlyn Christ called the special City Council meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. at the Lake Elmo Inn. Present: Christ, Moe, Graves, Armstrong (arrived 5:45 p.m.), City Administrator Overby and City Assessor Frank Langer. Absent: Richard Johnson. 1. 1987 Board of Review Frank Langer requested some time to review several of the requested tax adjustments considered by the City Council at the Board of Review May 20, 1987. Langer explained that the City has 20 days in which to certify, approve and return the changes made in payable 1988 tax assessments. The City Council discussed these requested changes with Mr. Langer. M/S/P Moe/Graves - to approve the changes in tax assessments for the 1987 Board of Review. (Motion carried 4-0). 2. Maintenance Building Change Order Mayor Christ explained that a change in the building specifications relating to a storage shelf (mezzanine) is required by the State building code. This change was unforeseen by the Maintenance Foreman or the Building Official. The change in specification requires that the height of the building be increased by 1 foot to meet the Uniform Building Code. This change in building dimension will add $1,757 to the cost of the building, or a new total of $17,657. M/S/P Moe/Graves - to approve a change order for the maintenance pole building in the amount of $1,757 to accomodate a 1-foot increase in building height, as required by the Uniform Building Code. (Motion carried 4-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PACE 2 1 3. City Administrator's Work Evaluation The Council had received an informational report from the City Administrator prior to this meeting. Mayor Christ started the discussion by pointing out that he felt the 1986 City Council had provided direction to the City Administrator and that. the Administrator should advise the Council --not vice -versa. He i added that there have been several instancesinregard to the new City Hall where nobody has gotten the little things done (eg: signs) and that these items indicated that. the City Administrator should spend more time making sure that the work gets done. Councillor Armstrong also felt that some requests had not been -j followed up on within a reasonable time. She also indicated that there have been cases where the services of the City Attorney were not needed (eg: drafting resolutions). 3 City Administrator Overby responded that this was true in some cases, but that sometimes the City Attorney is the proper person to draft the more complicated resolutions or permits. a The City Administrator responded that he could certainly spend more time in this area of following up on things that need to get done than he has been up to now. It requires that he spend less time working on other tasks, or that some other work tasks be delegated to another staffperson. i ,.-,.-The Administrator_ pointed out that he has been concentrating his -�effor.ts on the high -priority work areas up to now, as noted in the background information provided to the Council for the meeting. However, there still has not been enough time during a regular work iday to get all of these duties accomplished. The best example of this is the work remaining to update Chapter 5 of the Comprehensive Plan, {as well as make some other changes required by the Metro Council. *.This work will have to be done after hours, or a part-time planner 'will have to be hired. Otherwise, it is possible that this work will inot get completed in 1987. e The City Council responded that there was no intention of its even considering a request to hire more staff, and that the City Administrator should not bring this request before them again. .i .!The City Council also felt that there has to be some progress shown on +the above issues within the next two months, before the Council can discuss extending or renewing the City Administrator's contract. A previous suggestion to extend the contract for six months to the end ,iof 1987 was not favored by the Council. IThe City Administrator agreed to make a special effort to prevent the (lack of communication or coordination between staff from getting work (tasks completed. Weekly and/or monthly reports will be considered as !part of this effort. M/S/P Graves/Moe -• to adjourn the special City Council meeting at 7:05 P.M. (Motion carried 4-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 3 LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 Mayor Arlyn Christ called the City Council meeting to order at 7:13 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Present: Christ, Armstrong, Graves, Johnson, Moe, City Engineer Bohrer, City Attorney Knaak (arrived 8:45), and City Administrator Overby. 1. Agenda Add: 7D. Legion Pond, 8B. Metro East Development, 8C. Building Official. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to approve the agenda for the June 2, 1987 City Council Meeting as amended. (Motion carried 5-0). 2. Minutes: May 19, 1987 M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to approve the May 19, 1987 City Council minutes as amended. (See Page 4, 7A. Legion Pond). (Motion carried 5-0). 3. Claims M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to approve the June 2, 1987 City Council claims #88814 thru #88861 as presented. (Motion carried 5-0). 4.

There will ,be thirteen sporting events, such as softball, cribbage, road race, children's games, pancake breakfast and a Saturday nite dance. Chairman Hughes extended an invitation to the Mayor and City Council to take part in the celeberety softball game. The Jaycess asked for a proclamation of August 13-16 as Huff n' Puff Days and if they could use the Lions Park concession stand Wednesday though Monday. M/S/P Graves/Johnson - to proclaim Huff n' Puff Days as August 13-16th and waive the charge for lights and use of the Lions Park concession stand. (Motion carried 5-0). 5. Public Inquiries There were no public inquiries. 6. Landfill Committee Update Todd Williams reported that they received a letter from Steve Keefe, Met Council acknowledging their request and questions, and they LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 4 ( received a memo from the Governor asking to expedite efforts to work with them. On Tuesday, June 9, at 2:00 p.m. Todd will be making a presentation to the Metro Solid Waste Advisory Committee. On Wednesday, June 10, at 8 p.m. they will be meeting with Zack Hansen in the City Council chambers. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss what the EAW is supposed to do. Zack Hansen will be bringing a representative from the Donohue firm. Also on Wednesday, June 3rd, Todd and Dan will be meeting with Bob Overby and City Attorney Knaak to go over Fritz's assessments of the documentation that has been given him. Dan and Todd will look into the committee's expenses and report back at the next meeting. 7. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING A. PUBLIC HEARING: Request for Variances to Allow an Alternate Conditonal Use Permit in the Agricultural Zoning District; Howard Gelb, 11490 Hudson Blvd. Mayor Arlyn Christ opened up the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Howard Helb appeared before the City Council on May 5, 1987 to request rezoning to GB or an Agriculture Alternate Uses CUP. The Council adopted Resolution 87-28 granting the Alternate Uses"CUP contingent upon the City Council granting the necessary variances, and contingent upon upgrading of the two septic systems. Mr. Gelb is requesting three variances: 1. Variance to allow alternate conditional use on a 5-acre site where 1.5 acres per 40 acres is allowed. 2. Variance to allow alternate conditional uses where the landowner is not the owner and operator of the non- agricultural uses and does not reside on the continguous real estate. 3. Variance to allow alternate conditional uses in an existing non-agricultural style building, with existing signs and existing lighting. Notice was duly sent and published. There was no one there to speak for or against the variances. Councilman Graves stated he had no problem with the operation, but felt it was significantly compromising the intent of the Alternate Ag Uses. Graves suggested identifying it for what it is and address it that way and leave it like that. The City is losing the intent of the purpose and is setting a gross variation precedent and felt we will be faced with this in the future. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 5 CouncilwomanArmstrong did not favor putting this in General Business which 'would be in the center of Ag land. This would be spotzoning. Councilman Moe felt if it was zoned GB/I there would be no need for variances. Mr. Gelb would rather have I or GB zoning because it would be easier to secure financing. Mayor Christ pointed out that there was no proper planning when the building went up in the 1960's. The City is giving him the opportunity to make an economic gain, but will control it to a point where the most desirable uses go in that area. Councilman Johnson also pointed out that they would be coming in on an annual review. Mr. Gelb assured them that the City would know when there was a change in tenants and this would be subject to the approval by the City Staff. Mr Gelb asked if there would be any problem expanding the parking area. Bohrer felt it would be reasonable to expand the parking on the north side. As long as the parking was not located on the drainfield, Bohrer had no other concerns. Mayor Christ closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. M/S/P Johnson/Armstrong - to grant Howard Gelb, 11490 Hudson Blvd. the following variances which are necessary for granting the Alternate Uses CUP. (Motion carried 3-2<Graves, Moe>). 1. Variance to allow alternate conditional use on a 5-acre site where 1.5 acres per 40 acres is allowed, with the drainfield and sewer system for the uses are considered exceptions. 2. Variance to allow alternate conditional uses were the landowner is not the owner and operator of the non-agricultural uses and does not reside on the contiguous real estate. 3. Variance to allow alternate conditional uses in an existing non-agricultural style building, with existing signs and existing lighting and no expansion of the building. B. Preliminary Plat Approval: Springborn's Green Acres Second Addition The Planning Commmission considered this plat on May 11, 1987 and ,recommended Council approval contingent upon the two conditions noted 'in the City Engineer's review letter of April 24, 1987. The developer 'now has proposed putting in an urban type street as required by City Engineering standards. There also was a question about suitable soils ..on Lot 1, Block 1 to allow two drainfields. ).4 The City Engineer has reviewed the soil boring information which indicates that suitable soils for septic systems exist. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE '6 -� The other issue raised by the Planning Commission concerned whether d the concept plan approval given for this phase of the PUD in January of 1978 had expired now since there is a 6-year statute of limitations i that would presumably apply. The letter of 5-18-87 from City Attorney =i. Steve Carlson to the City Administrator indicates that the statute of limitations issue does not apply in this case. He also advises that the City should not attempt to invoke the 1979 ordinance requirements = i at this time for Phase II. City Engineer Bohrer explained that the code stated that all lots Al should have at least one acre of land suitable for septic drainfields and are sufficient for two separate and distinct drainfield sites. Under the worst conditions two separate and distinct drainfield site will require 10,000 sq.ft. of land, but on the other hand it states one acre is required. One lot can meet one criteria, but not both of the criteria. The soil has been tested and there is more than enough room for two distinct drainfields, but does not have the one acre. Bruce Folz felt that there was adequate area for four systems. They could shift the line 50 feet north or whatever it takes. Bohrer recalled that the one acre requirement came from back in the 1970's when a lot of land was being subdivided that had ponds and lakes. The small ponds were privately owned and the land was subdivided out into the ponds so we had lots that meet the 1 1/2 acre lot size, but half would have a drainage easement and the other half would be high ground. -,City Engineer Bohrer referenced Section 400 Platting,stating "Streets, -< Continuous --except for cul-de-sacs, streets shall connect with streets already dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions or provide for future connections to adjo-;ining unsubdivided tracts or shall be a reasonable projection of streets in the nearest subdivided tracts. ,,� The origin street shall be considered in relation to a reasonable circulation of traffic to topographic conditions to runoff storm i'water, public convenience. In the next paragraph of the code it stated - "local streets shall be so planned as to discourage the use by non -local traffic. Dead-end streets are prohibited, but cul-de-sacs •^shall be permitted because of topography." In this way, through =streets and planning for through -streets are actually encouraged, and acul-de-sacs are permitted based upon topography. In this case, Bohrer felt we should not hold to the 800 foot maximum for cul-de-sacs, but rather encourage the future extension of the street. Bohrer recommended putting in the cul-de-sac as shown and the road not -go through unless the City gets a petition from adjacent property owners. Then the cul-de-sac can be eliminated easily and become a -,through street as in Foxfire and Teal Pass. _-_ There is a provision in the code if a road could go through in the ( future that it be platted all the way to the edge of the subdivision and then fitted with a temporary cul-de-sac. Bohrer,belives this road would go through and the provision in the code is proper. The Council considered the cul-de-sac as temporary so a variance was not needed. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE y�• M/S/P Moe/Armstrong - to approve the preliminary plat for Springborn's Green Acres Second Additon as presented; subject to the lot lines being moved 50 feet to the north in order to get one acre for septic system on one lot. (Motion carried 5-0). Mayor Christ was unsure about an urban street here. He also pointed out that because the City Attorney seemed to think that the 1978 PUD could not be denied that this was a good example of why PUD's should not be allowed. .ai C. Preliminary Plat Approval: Lake Elmo Heights Second Addition n..q Don Bishop is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for 13 lots in phase two of the Lake Elmo Heights Cluster Development subdivision. The City Engineer's letter of 4-24-87 raised the following concerns: (a) Lot size for two lots exceeds the 2.0 acre maximum, unless the NSP powerline easement area is not included. (b) 27th Street North is a cul-de-sac which exceeds the 800 foot + maximum allowed by code. The City Council could allow the cul-de-sac if it is considered to be temporary. If 27th Street is not considered temporary, then a variance is needed to allow the cul-de-sac to be approved in excess of 800 feet as part of this plat. (c) Only 2 of the 13 Lots appeared to have at least one acre of land suitable for septic drainfields. The letter of May 15, 1987 from the City Engineer indicated that: (a) There is sufficient area available (about 10,000 sq.ft.) on each of the 13 lots to provide for two separate and distinct drainfield sites. However, it appears that the minimum 1 acre requirement has not been met. Based on this analysis, a variance would be needed to allow approval of the 13-lot plat with less than 1 acre for the two drainfield sites on 11 of the lots. 'Because of the limited area tested on each lot, the City Engineer provided a detailed lot -by -lot description of how and where septic ,drainfields should be installed. A Bruce Folz reported that their Soil Scientist Roger Johnson had taken -five soil borings and two perk tests on each lot, tested 10,000 sq.ft. -and documented everything very carefully. This information was given -,to City Engineer Bohrer. Folz added that he had measured the areas --and every one of the lots have one acre or more of unrestricted soils •or less than 30 percent. Folz emphasized that 1/4 acre is enough land area sufficient for two drainfield systems. He felt it was unreasonable to ask him to take more soil borings. He has done the majority of the developments in the City, and this development has LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 8 more soil borings than any other development in the city. Planning Commission Chairman Steve DeLapp referred to cluster -� development in the code. The cluster development is defined as to - provide the means to preserve (not save) good agricultural land, open space, scenic views and other desirable features of natural environment. DeLapp felt that putting a road all the way through there for financial benefit of a person in the future would get this clustering eliminated. So it is completely at odds with the purpose of why clustering is allowed in the first place. Mayor Christ stated that there was 375 feet more blacktop than really necessary. Bruce Folz felt it made more sense to have the developer pay for putting the road through and the people should be able to landscape the yards and know what it is going to look like instead of having to come back later and have to construct the road and tear up their front yards. Folz felt the soils in the outlot are not economically feasible. The sanitary lift station is at the northwest corner of the property today. s Steve DeLapp stated that most of the land in the City is zoned RR. By listening to the discussion, it sounded to him that it was felt RR was a holding zone for R=1. City Administrator Overby explained how the RR zoning was considered. If they felt RR was a transitional zone from large lot to smaller lots on the balance of the property, that would be reflected in the City's comprehensive plan. It does not show those areas that are now zoned RR as changing, but are shown on the future land use map as continuing as RR zoning. The plan does not interpret it as a transitional zone. Folz stated when he was on the Planning Commission this type of land use was always an interim land use. Whatever the timeframe, Folz felt r4 the City will not end up with all the open land, but have to allow places for people to live. To him, thinking that this land will stay -'permanently as a 90 acre tract is folly. Al Councilman Moe stated that when he got on the Planning Commission in q 1980,.he was told that RR was an interim use by the people on the Planning Commission. He felt that no matter if it was zoned Ag or RR, j it still is an interim use because eventually it will change. —A potential buyer of Lot 2, Block 1, (2.2 acres) spoke up that he t would like the cul-de-sac to go all the way to the west end of the property because his house would be facing north and the garage would be on the west side of the house. He does not want to come in two years from now. and be assessed for blacktopping a road that the w developer was willing to put in. _ Another prospective buyer from Maplewood, and potential neighbor of )-Lot 2, Block 1, stated that Mr. Bishop has in good faith done everything that the City has asked them to do. He asked the Council to exercise their power to allow this to be granted so that everybody can get on with their business, LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 9 Councilman Graves thought it made a lot of sense for us to go ahead and put the road. all the way-,thr,ough to the west,e;rn, boundary of the property. This would be easier on the property holders and fess disruption to the area in the future if and when it was ever developed. Councilwoman Armstrong explained the zoning was approved, but the plat was not approved. She added that it was premature to sell a lot and have the buyer count on placing their house on a cul-de-sac on the end y of a paved road when it hasn't been approved by the City Council. City Engineer Bohrer agreed that there are two separate and distinct drainfield sites on every lot. As long as they are installed in accordance with his recommendations of May 15th, if this plat is approved, this is the way the drainfields will have to be constructed in order to meet the code. He disagreed with each lot having at least one acre of land suitable for drainfield purposes. In his opinion, - this is different than the restricted soils overlay district. The City has two restrictive overlay districts: restrictive soils and wetlands. It is true that only a couple of the soils are listed in either one of those. But those restrictive overlay districts prohibit development of any kind, not just drainfields. Bohrer would consider as being not suitable for drainfield purposes those soils that are listed as having severe limitations for drainfield purposes as shown in the Washington County Soil Survey. This is what he pointed out in his original review in his April 24th letter. There are only two lots at the end of the cul-de-sac that have enough soil, at least one acre, that is not classified as severe. Bohrer would agree that the 10,000 sq.ft. has been qualified, but would not agree that there is one acre suitable for drainfield purposes simply because it is not listed as a restrictive soil or a wetland soil. City Engineer Bohrer felt that a determination would have to be made • on whether a road will go through some time in the future. An extension of this road is not nearly as imminent as the one in Springborn. Bohrer did recommend that if the road was to go through in the future, that is the proper way to do it now because we do eliminate the question about assessments and who pays. .City Attorney Knaak suggested that standards have to be established and a record made stating these reasons. If one of the septic systems should fail, people are looking for someone or something to blame and developers are not around any more, and if it was established that this was passed under code requirements, the legality of standards in a record should be established. He reommended holding a public hearing on the cul-de-sac variance and the one acre for septic system soils per lot be resolved. .Attorney John Stibbe disagreed, because they have an expert that has shown that there is 10,000 sq.ft. of suitable soil. They have taken }the burden off the City in showing that they have complied with the code. He felt there was a question as to what certain people consider as suitable soils. Don Bishop suggested that the preliminary plat be approved contingent upon acquiring a variance for the one acre suitable soil requirements. M/S/P Graves/Johnson - to table a decision on the Lake Elmo Heights Second Addition Preliminary Plat pending a public hearing on June 16th on the one acre for septic system soils per lot be resolved. (Motion carried 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 10 R M/S/F Armstrong/Johnson - to table a decision on the Lake Elmo Heights Second Addition Preliminary Plat pending a public hearing on June 16th to consider a variance to the length of the cul-de-sac. (Motion failed.2-3 (Moe, Christ, Graves: He voted no because he would like to resolve this issue tonight). a M/S/P Graves/Moe - to accept the location, replacement and length of the road and cul-de-sac as indicated on the plat plan (paved to the western boundary) and defined as a temporary cul-de-sac which is justification to their exceeding the 800 foot limit. (Motion carried 3-2<Armstrong, Johnson>). D. Legion Pond City Engineer Bohrer reported that the concensus reached by the Valley Branch Watershed Distict at its May 28th meeting, where City Council members and residents attended, was that the City and residents should investigate a temporary pumping project to provide some immediate flood relief while they consider amending their 509 Plan to include Legion Pond. Futhermore, the managers said the residents should participate in such a temporary project which would indicate to them their willingness to invest in the process. Bohrer compared cost and timeline estimates on two temporary pumping ; projects, one designed to reduce the pond's elevation to 883.5 and the j other to 882. The VBWD would donate a pump, but residents would - assume fuel and hook up costs with the City possibly contributing city crew labor and maintenance costs and handling permit and grant applications. PUMP to 882 A. Direct Costs 1. Gen. Rent (1 month) 2. Fuel (70 gal. x 18 days) 3. Misc Equip. B. Indirect Costs 1. Crewtime set Up 2. Fueling (maintenance) 3. Take down and cleanup C. Engineering Permits, Esmt. $1875 1385 500 $3760 800 540 800 $2140 250+ $6150+ LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE .11 PUMP to 883.5 r� T. Direct Cost 1. Gen. Rent 2. Fuel (11 days) 3. Misc. B. Indirect Cost 1. Set Up 2. Fueling & Maint. 3. Take down & Cleanup C. Engineer $1875 850 500 $3225 800 330 800 $1930 250+ $5450 (+ Engineering costs would be added to this figure that have already been incurred). Bohrer explained that Department of Natural Resources regulations dictate that the control elevation of a landlocked lake be no more than 1.5 feet below the ordinary high water mark which for Legion is 885. Pumping to 882 would involve a lengthy permit application process -as well as a public hearing and a drainage plan to be submitted to the DNR. Pumping to 883.5 would require no public hearing and would be easy to initiate. Bohrer also explained that fifty percent of the costs of the temporary - pumping could be paid through a DNR grant designed to fund emergency ±flood relief projects. City Administrator Overby stated that if approved the project could draw $3000 to $5000 in DNR grant money, on a matching basis with local funding. Mayor Christ suggested that Bohrer could initate the permit process I for pumping to 883.5 at the same time applying for the permit to pump ,.,to 882 and amend the DNR grant application accordingly if the more „ lengthy project is approved. A petition from residents to initiate the puming could waive the assessment hearing and speed up the ,process. E1 - Some of the residents were in favor of temporary pumping. Dan =+Collyard felt it was either all or nothing; a temporary solution would 'do him no good. Collyard and Rod Toft considered it a waste of money and time because the pond will rise again due to the high water table and its relationship with other area lakes. a eM/S/P Johnson/Graves - to dirct the City Engineer to proceed in ?obtaining a DNR permit for a temporary pumping to 883.5 and to reapply -.-'for matching funds available (up to $10,000: $5000 local and $5000 ,DNR) and that the City proceed with the project only if we get a grant for a unanimous petition from residents to do the work and not to go further unless we get one or the other. Also direct the City Engineer {to amend the permit to pump down to 882.0 and authorize $200 in expenses for the engineering cost on a municipal drainage plan. (Motion carried 5-0). M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to set up a public hearing for a temporary pumping project to 883.5 for July 7th City Council meeting. (Motion carried 5-0). i LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE .12 8. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT A. Parks Commission Report The Parks Commission has ben discussing since January the possibility of the City receiving private funds to help build a new skiing -hiking trail at Sunfish Park. The private money is available from two sources: A (a) $500.00 donation as a personal memorial (b) $500.00 donation from the North Star Ski Club 3 The private funding is contingent upon: a matching contribution ($1,000) from the City, and allowing a plaque or sign to be erected on the memorial trail. There is funding available in the Parks budget for this project. M/S/P Moe/Armstrong - to approve spending of $1000 for new park trails 6 in Sunfish Park. (Motion carried 5-0). The Parks Commission toured Sunfish Park and found hundreds of trees needed to be cut down with chainsaws and a stump grinder may be needed due to damage done by the VBWD pumping. They estimated a cost of $5000 for'work on new trails. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to direct the City Administrator to contact VBWD to see if we should get initial bids for damage of Sunfish Park. (Motion carried 5-0). The Parks Commission approved the purchase of a Windscreen for Tablyn Park at a cost of $610.60 at their May 4th meeting. M/S/P Moe/Johnson - to approve the purchase of a windscreen for Tablyn Park at a cost of $610.60. (Motion carried 5-0). B. Metro East. Development '�V14 Mayor Christ reported that at the Metro East Development breakfast J�j^, they were shown videos and articles in newspapers indicating their involvement. Christ could not see where our city would benefit from their involvement. C. Building Official The City Council discussed the intention by City of Mahtomedi to hire its own full-time Building Official. The City Administrator advised •the City Council that there are currently no openings with area cities �,: or townships that could share Jim's services. The City Council decided to opt for a full-time position, based on the amount of work tasks that Jim could take on (e.g. Fire Marshal inspection of septic systems, more detailed Conditional Use Permit inspections). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 13 }; M/S/P Moe/Graves - to authorize making the position of Building Inspector/Code Enforcement official a full time position as of July 1, 1987; subject to the City of Mahtomedi having hired a new building inspector before Jim McNamara starts full-time with Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0). M/S/P Graves/Moe - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 11:10 p.m. (Motion carried 5-0). Since we do not have time to discuss every point presented, it may seem I that decisions are preconceived. However, background information is it provided for the City Council on each agenda item in advance from City Staff and appointed Commissions; and decisions are based on this information and past experiences. In addition, some items may also have been discussed at previous Council meetings. If you are aware of information that hasn't been discussed, please fill out a "Request to Appear Before the City Council" slip; or, if you came late, raise your hand to be recognized.
