LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL EMERGENCY MINUTES
MARCH 27, 1993
Mayor John called the meeting to order at 9:40 a.m. in the
council chambers. PRESENT: Mayor John, Council member
Conlin and Mottaz and Administrator Kueffner. ABSENT:
Council members Johnson and Johnston.
1. Lobbyists to oppose Senate File 491 and House File 220
Council member Conlin reported to the council that as
authorized by the City Council she spoke with Pat Forciea,
of the November Group, the lobbyists that were hired by the
City in fighting the landfill in the Regional Park. Conlin
stated that Forciea was available to work on the city's
behalf to oppose the pending legislation and that she had
taken the liberty of sending some background information to
him.
Kueffner stated she had been in contact with Ellen Sampson,
an attorney for Leonard, Street & Deinard, the legal firm
retained by the City in the landfill fight. She further
stated that Sampson as well as Forciea are both registered
lobbyists.
There was discussion as to which of the lobbyists would be
most effective in fighting the proposed legislation (House
File 220 and Senate File 491).
Council member Mottaz stated he had heard very positive
comments about Ellen Sampson, and that she is very well
respected at the legislature. He expressed concerns with Pat
Forciea, only in that he was still employed full-time by the
Minnesota North Stars.
Mayor John suggested that because of the importance of the
matter, the city hire both individuals.
Administrator Kueffner stated that she had been contacted by
Council member Johnson and although he was unable to attend
the meeting, he wanted to set a limit of $3,000 for this
service, but stated no preference as to who was hired.
Council member Conlin stated the issue was much too serious
to set a limit, that the city should be prepared to spend
what it had to in order to stop this legislation, but would
be willing to set a cap right now to get started at $1,000
for each lobbyist.
M/S/P Conlin/John - to authorize the start-up expenditure of
$1,000 each for lobbyist services of Ellen Sampson and Pat
Forciea to fight against the legislation proposed in House
File 220 and Senate File 491. (Motion carried 3-0).
There was brief discussion about a future workshop for
planning in Section 32 and 33, with no consensus reached,
and will be discussed at a future meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m.

The City Council has determined that it is too expensive to mail minutes (average cost
is $3.00 per meeting), and has exercised its option to publish a summary of the minutes
in our legal newspaper, the Stillwater Gazette.
If you would like to continue to receive a copy of the complete minutes the cost will
be as follows:
City Council Minutes: $75.00 per year
Planning Commission Minutes $75.00 per year
Council Agendas $15.00 per year
Commission or Committee Agendas$15.00 per year each
This will be the last agenda that you receive from the city unless you chose to
subscribe.
Sincerely,
Mary Kueffner

Re: Employee Pay Increases
Attached is a proposed pay increase for all employees for 1993. As you can see, there
is still some disparity in the pay rates, but I attempted to put everyone (including
myself) in the range between the "low" and "mid", and still keep within the amount that
was approved by the council at budget time. ,
I have also enclosed the job descriptions taken from the Stanton Metro Survey which is
commonly used by cities to determine pay ranges. The survey gives.a.general
description of the job, and then sorts out the wages paid by different cities, counties
and commissions, depending upon their size. We are in the category of cities under
10,000 population.
If the council concurs with my recommendation, I would hope that you will consider
making it retroactive to January I, 1993. We did budget for the entire year, and it is
not the fault of the employees under me that this was not done more timely.
