specialized services to the City, particularly an innovative new method of treating on -site sewage.
Council members Hunt and DeLapp were impressed with a recent HDR presentation and that
some of the company's techniques would be useful in managing water resources for cluster
housing development. Hunt suggested that the City stay with TKDA, but solicit the management
experts for additional help. Mayor John and Council member Conlin agreed that although they
were impressed with HDR they urged the City to stick with TKDA because they have been
satisfied with TKDA's long track record with the City. Council member Dunn also agreed TKDA
has been good over the years, but the City needs to keep on top of new technologies. If we need
to outsource for some of this, we could work around that. TKDA Vice President, Dick Sobtech,
plead his company's case and vowed that TKDA would successfully pursue any water
management strategies the Council requests. He stated that TKDA has been on the leading
edge, and it would provide that leading edge service.

see the Council cut expenses. In response, Filla explained that since 1992, there has been an

taken to court in 1992 where there were 458 events in 1996), Administrator Kueff nor explained
that in 1992, the City received an average of $500 per month in fines, while in 1996 that average

6. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Resolution No. 97-2 requesting "No Truck Traffic" on 30th Street
Tom Prew reported at the informational meeting held In December, the residents on 30th Street
complained about the number of trucks which use that street as a short cut to the Old Village
area. In the past MN/DOT has rejected requests to prohibit trucks on Municipal State Aid Streets
such as 30th Street. Prew recently was told by MN/DOT that this is an issue that they may be
reviewing and suggested that if the City would like trucks prohibited from 30th Street, we should
submit a resolution requesting this. A map should be submitted to show alternative routes.
WS/P Hunt/Del-app - to approve Resolution No. 97-2, as amended, A Resolution requesting "No
Truck Traffic" on 30th Street and direct the staff to submit the necessary material to MWDOT for
their review. (Motion passed 5-0).
B. Water System Interconnection Study
In the City's recently approved Community Water Supply Plan it was recommended that a study
be prepared to determine the feasibility of providing an emergency interconnection with Cimarron.
This Interconnection would provide both the Old Village's water system and Cimarron's water
system with a backup water supply. Tom Prew recommended at the same time studying an
interconnection with the Lake Jane Area water system for the same backup use. This
interconnection would be a shorter length, but would require an amendment to our agreement
with Oakdale. The estimated costs to complete this study is $7,500.00 which includes surveying,
water system modeling, and public hearings.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1997 6
WS/P Hunt/John - to authorize the City Engineer to prepare the water systems interconnection
study at a cost not to exceed $7,500.00 which will come out of the General Fund. (Motion
passed 3-2:DeLapp:There's 506 hookups in Cimarron and 250 Hookups in the Old Village so the
water users should pay --not the entire City, Dunn:Thought this was a recommended plan, not a
mandated plan. How can the City pay for a backup water system when Cimarron is a privately
owned park.).
S. PLANNING LAND USE AND ZONING:
A. Moratorium on Wireless Communication Towers
City Planner Terwedo reported the City has had numerous Inquiries about the placement of
towers to accommodate wireless communication facilities. Presently, the City Code prohibits
these types of towers. Under the Telecommunication Act of 1996, the City must reasonably
accommodate such facilities. Terwedo recommended that the City adopt an ordinance regulating
such Personal Communication Service towers. However, Terwedo suggested the City place a
moratorium on new towers which will give the City time to prepare the regulations.
M/S/P DeLapp/Conlin - to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on an
ordinance, as amended, placing a moratorium on Wireless Telecommunication Facilities and
direct staff to assist the Planning Commission on the development of an ordinance regulating
Wireless Telecommunication Facilities. (Motion passed 5-0).
B. End -of -Year Report
Planner Terwedo provided a Planning Department/Building Department 1996 End of the Year

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Re: Annual Appointment of City Engineer
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Dear Mayor and Council:
At the first meeting each January, the City Council considers the annual appointment of the
engineering consultant for the upcoming year. Since 1979, TKDA has provided engineering
services for the City in a professional and cost-effective manner, and at a level commensurate
with the desires of the City, TKDA would like to continue providing those services as your City
Engineer in 1997.
In considering the appointment, TKDA would like to be evaluated on its past performance. In
that regard, we felt it would be beneficial to review the services that have been provided. Those
services can generally be divided into General Services and Special Services.
General Services are those services necessary for the day-to-day operation of the City. In a
larger city, these services would be provided by a staff engineer, and consist of:
— Attendance at Council, Planning Commission, and Park Commission meetings as requested.
— Provide professional review of utility permits, subdivision, and Site plans.
— Provide expert testimony in legal proceedings to defend the City's land use and permit
decisions.
— Assist the Maintenance Department in developing maintenance schedules and procedures for
roads, water system, drainageways.
— Advise on water and sewer rates.
