LAKE ELMO SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 6, 1991
Mayor Johnson called the special council meeting to order at
5:40 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Present: Mayor
Johnson, Hunt, Dick Johnson, Mottaz and Administrator
Kueffner.
1. MUSA EXTENSION
Councilman Johnson: This was on the agenda at the last
meeting and wasn't important enough to discuss. What makes
it important now? I understand that the City Administrator
has delayed sending any notice to the Met Council because
she wanted the Council to reconsider. I am willing to
reconsider, except I have concerns about action taken at the
last meeting in regard to Stonegate. I am very concerned
that this City is being assessed a fine of $250 a day. If
there is some way that we can couple these things and clean
this mess up all at once, I am willing to go along with the
MUSA extension. I had sat here for approx. 10 minutes trying
to word some kind of compromise that would allow Mr.
Peterson to go ahead and develop and get the matter out of
the court and settled. I see the MUSA extension as a
positive program, but at this point I am not in favor with
going ahead with anything until we can resolve all the
issues that I consider to be very negative to the City.
Councilman Hunt: I have wrestled with this for a long time
and I agree this is a positive program for the City. I
agree that what happened with Stonegate was an embarrassment
to the City, but I will avoid linking them together because
I can rise above the kind of problems that went on with
Stonegate. I expect that the pressure put on by the courts
will be enough to solve this problem in a fairly short
timeframe or bankrupt the City. I am willing to leave that
in the hands of Mayor Johnson and Councilman Mottaz as to
that choice. I will continue with the positive program. We
have a positive comprehensive plan in place, this MUSA
extension is a positive thing for the City and fits in with
our comp plan, Stonegate is a positive thing and fits in
well with our comp plan. I will not link these issues at
this meeting. I am sorry. I have had a a lot of people that
want me to do that, but I won't.
