VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Meeting Minutes and Delivery Time Ms. Gaustad briefly mentioned that Staff hoped to receive clarification on the time frame minutes are to be delivered to the Council. Councilmember Nelson suggested the minutes be available four business days after a meeting. Councilmember Brenner requested the Planning and Zoning meeting minutes be available to the Council prior to discussing Planning and Zoning items at Council meetings. The Council requested Staff input. Ms. Gaustad explained Staff can produce the minutes whenever the Council requests to have them available. The Council has several options; have the agenda items plus the Council's actions the day after the meeting, the complete meeting minutes within a certain time frame or include the minutes in the Council packets. Mayor Wilharber felt comfortable receiving the minutes with the Council packets. Councilmember Brenner preferred the committee minutes prior to discussion. Motion by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Brenner to require the meeting minutes within four business days following a meeting. Mr. March commented that it may be too soon to determine what a reasonable turn around time is to deliver the minutes. Mayor Wilharber would rather encourage Staff to assist residents and unforseen issues instead of producing minutes. Furthermore, as in the past, having the minutes delivered with the Council packet is acceptable to him. Wilharber, Travis nay - motion died. Mayor Wilharber requested the item be placed on the next Council agenda. Interconnect Agreement Mr. March gave an update on the draft interconnect agreement between the Cities of Lino Lakes and Centerville. Mr. Palzer directed the Council's attention to Section 2, Charges. "Payments for water usage shall be at the current respective City residential water rate at the time of billing, including any flat rate that shall be calculated by dividing the total water used by the average water consumed per household." Mayor Wilharber suggested summing up the sentence to read... "Payments for water usage shall be at the current respective City residential water rate at the time of billing." Mr. March suggested that a memorandum of understanding accompany the interconnect agreement to depict how water usage will be calculated. Motion by Mayor Wilharber, seconded by Councilmember Brenner to approve the interconnect agreement excluding Section 2, Charges "...including any flat rate that shall be calculated by dividing the total water used by the average water consumed per household." Motion carried unanimously. St. Paul Water utility Surplus Property Update Mr. March updated the Council on the proposed St. Paul water utility surplus property, and he commented that the St. Paul Water Utility indicated that the west 100' section of the surplus property has been deemed unavailable until at least year 2001. The western half of the property containing the house has little use to the City. The eastern 120' portion of the parcel would be an ideal site for a fishing pier. Lawful Gambling St. Genevieve Church Ms. Gaustad explained that St. Genevieve Church requested approval for raffles on April 27, 1999 and Page 3 of 5
