-2- APRIL 12, 1975 Mr. Jaworski asked Mr. Hail if they weren't pumping sewage from this plant on a 24 hour a day basis. , said that he had heard that there are two semi's hauling continous►y to the South Saint Paul Plant. Mr. Hall said that he did not know if that was true or not, he has not been informed if there is hauling being done. Mr. Jaworski said they were hauling something in those tankers and it is not gasoline. Mr. Hall said he questions the large amount of monies that the MC is spending,its at a outrageous point. He said that in 1973 the mil rate was 29 mils but they are proposing a mil rate of 36 mils for 1978, for sewer alone. He said that they could have done it stages and not raised taxes to the point that the MC would get such a huge increase. He questioned the MC right to raise their Levy so high while Cities are limited to 5% per year. Mayor Hall said that the Dakota County Leaders are preparing a + page ad to reach the people and tell them what they think the MC is doing to the communities and the residents and asked that Lino Lakes Join them In this and the cost of such an ad. Mr. McLean said that the Anoka County Commissioners read our position paper at a recent meeting, and made it part of the minutes and generally agreed with the position of Lino Lakes on the MC. Mayro Richard J. Schneider of the City of Andover spoke next. He said that while Andover does not have the problems that Lino Lakes and Burns- ville have they agree with our position on the MC and he said that he had written a letter to their State Senator, Hubert Humphrey, of the problems they are having with the MC and how the residents of Andover feel. He asked Senator Milton is they were really listening to the people - down at the State House? Will something be done? Senator Milton said we are here to listen and we are listening. That is why I am here today. Mr. Schneider asked about this bill that has been titled 4/1/75 for lack of a name or number. What is this all about? Why was no name given to it? And why was it sent out anonymously? Mr. Jaworski asked if the Development Framework Guide had been approved by the Legislature? Senator Milton said the Development Framework Guide was not a piece of legislation, it is merely a guide for the MC to work within and as such does not require the approval of the Legislature.
