^o November 16, 1981 Mrs. Elsenpeter requested that the two checks to floral establishments be withheld until reimbursement has been received. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked Mr. Schumacher if he would explain the note concerned with Juran & Moody. Mr. Schumacher explained that Juran 8 Moody is allowing a $4,000.00 credit on their statement of $15,000.00 in costs in connection with the public sale of the bond issue. This is to offset approximately one - half of the costs for the City to take this issue to the Supreme Court. Mr. Mattson felt that it is important for this matter to be resolved, not only for thie City of Lino Lakes, but for the other communities in the State who install improvements under this State Law. Mr. McLean moved to approve the disbursements, withholding the checks to Hodgson Road Floral and Forest Lake Floral. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. McLean asked if there were any problems with paying the back taxes? Mr. Rosenbower said, no problems, if that is what is necessary. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked, what assurances they can give this Council that the same parties will not be rehired to operate this establishment? Mr. Rosenbower said Mr. Surman had no intentions of rehiring the same personnel. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked, if the liquor license is granted, what type of operation would he run? Mr. Surman said, just a bar type of operation. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked the Clerk if there had been any other applications and she said, Mr. McAllister of Lexington had applied but had not for- warded his payment for the police investigation, so nothing had been done about the application. A five minute recess was called at this point. The meeting reconvened and Mrs. Elsenpeter said she had concerns with the traffic problem and the lighting - she requested that he discussed this with the City Administrator for information on these concerns. Mr. McLean moved to approve the issuance of a liquor license to Mr.
