'9 <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />November 4, 1993 <br />Long Lake Sewer Plant Property Annexation <br />% <br />% <br />V’ <br />I have attached a letter from Chris Dietzen, the Long Lake City <br />Attorney, regarding the joint resolution to finalize the concurrent <br />detachment and annexation of the Long Lake sewer property. The <br />joint resolution is the final action required in the annexation <br />process. <br />The joint resolution, as initially drafted, includes a paragraph <br />(7) in which the City of Long Lake covenants that it will oppose <br />the annexation of any other property from Orono into Long Lake, and <br />a paragraph (8) in which both cities request the Minnesota <br />Municipal Board to approve the covenant made by Long Lake in <br />Paragraph 7. In his letter, Mr. Dietzen indicates the City of Long <br />Lake would like to eliminate paragraph 8 and would not oppose the <br />elimination of paragraph 7. Mr. Dietzen suggests these changes as <br />better reflecting the current spirit of cooperation between the two <br />cities. <br />It is my understanding that the restriction against any future <br />annexation of property from Orono into Long Lake was a key <br />ingredient in the settlement of the sewer plant annexation issue, <br />and that both paragraphs 7 and 8 are important to making this <br />restriction as enforceable as possible. It is also my <br />understanding that Orono's interest in restricting further <br />annexation has not changed. It is therefore staff's recommendation <br />that, at a minimum, paragraph 7 remain; and that paragraph 8 remain <br />if the City Attorney indicates this paragraph significantly <br />increases the enforceability of paragraph 7.
