Goetten felt that would be a waste of money and suggested they give the money to a social service agency. Kelley suggested a tree be planted during the Open House ceremony. D) Moorse reported on pending legislation regarding special levy for funding the LMCD. Mayor Callahan noted in addition to that bill, there was a bill introduced in the Senate to increase the control of the Metropolitan Council over the cities, by device of controlling their Comprehensive Plans and zoning boards. The bill fell by the wayside and is not currently before the Legislature. However, Mr. Orfield has authored a bill related to housing, which again relates to putting pressure upon cities from the Metropolitan Council. He referred to the bill regarding the special levy for the LMCD. He understood the LMCD's taxing authority includes levy Iimits. During • the submittal of their Comprehensive Plan, there was discussion to go before Legislature to have the limits lifted. 13 MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING • HELD MARCH 22, 1993 OTHER ISSUES - CONT. The actual language of the enabling act is considerably different, as it does have a levy limit. The bill provides for the LMCD to submit a budget to the cities, and the cities owe the money requested. However, there is not a penalty for non - payment. It appears possible that there is more Statutory Legislation, or possibly a court case, or an agreement with the LMCD which has in practice limited the amount they think they can levy, and which they follow in allocating between cities. The enabling statute has limits in it. Mayor Callahan noted the Orfield bill may meet with opposition from the inner ring suburbs, and suggested they continue to monitor the situation. Moorse noted he has sent a letter to representatives expressing Orono's disfavor of the Orfield bill. Mayor Callahan suggested there may be psychological reasons why they may want the levy limits left in the bill. • Jabbour said the levy limit on the LMCD does not affect Orono, but he felt it may be better not to remove the mental block. Kelley stated he would like to see the limit remain in place. Mayor Callahan suggested they adopt a resolution asking that the bill be tabled to allow time to consider the ramifications. It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Callahan, to adopt Resolution #3254 expressing Orono's strong opposition to the passage of the bill setting special levy limit for the LMCD, and suggest it be further studied. Ayes 4, nays 0. Jabbour asked that an appreciation letter be sent to Tom Workman for informing the Council of this issue. E) Moorse inquired as to Council's direction on the Lasher Landing. Goetten noted the discrepancy between the reported use. Mayor Callahan stated both are right as it is rarely used in the summer, but heavily used during the winter months by snowmobilers and owners of ice houses. Goetten suggested the installation of a gate to limit the use. • 14 • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 22, 1993 OTHER ISSUES - CONT. Jabbour felt both ends would have to be blocked. Mayor Callahan suggested they try to control the use, not to abolish it, by the installation of gates, entrance through the gates to be controlled by the City staff. F) Moorse reported that the Minnetonka Center for the Arts has been established as a polling place in lieu of the former City Council Chambers. G) Moorse reported staff Is in the process of applying for a matching grant from the MWCC for an Infiltration and Inflow Program. Jabbour stated Tonka Bay is very concerned about the additional fees charged to the cities. • H) Moorse explained they have tentatively settled with the Police Lieutenants for the 1993 contract, which contract is the same as for the union Police Officers. It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Jabbour, to authorize staff to proceed with the 1993 Police Lieutenant contract as negotiated. Ayes 4, nays 0. Kelley and Goetten asked that all items requiring action be submitted to the Council and placed on the agenda. I) Moorse reported the resolution establishing weight restrictions allows for an exemption for garbage haulers. Utility companies have expressed a need for exemption also for emergency purposes. Kelley asked If they should also exempt the Fire Department. Gerhardson noted the Fire Department Is responding to an emergency and the City has the right to authorize that exemption for the safety, health and welfare of the citizens. The Police Department would not know if a utility company was out for an emergency as they.would if there were a fire. Mayor Callahan suggested staff draft the appropriate resolution and present to Council. • 15 4 i MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING • HELD MARCH 22, 1993 CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Staunton explained as part of the deal to purchase the City land, the seller was required to place $75,000 in escrow to cover any lawsuit involving the property ownership rights. A lawsuit was filed contesting the sellers right to sell to the City, the District Court ruled against the other party and the Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling. Since that time all appeal time has lapsed, and therefore the litigation for which the escrow was established has come to a conclusion. He reported it is his recommendation to authorize the release of the escrow account. This release does not affect any of the normal warranties. The City also has title insurance. Mayor Callahan has requested a summary opinion Indicating their opinion. Mayor Callahan reiterated that they won the lawsuit, and are asked to release the escrow amount to the seller.
