Council Meeting January 25; 1982 139 Mr. Marier asked if they have submitted such a Resolution and Mr. Schumacher said, Not yet, but he would not submit this Resolution until they have. 1 Mr. Reinert moved to approve Resolution 82 -1.. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. DISCRETIONARY PLANNING GRANT FUNDS Mr. Scumacher reported that this is the result of an application that he had submitted for 1981 requesting the Metropolitan Council to consider the City of Lino Lakes for these funds. Fifteen communities submitted applications for these funds and Lino Lakes was ranked number 2 and will receive $15,352.00 to be applied to the cost of preparing the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS Mr. Schumacher reported that the City will have approximately $83,000.00 to be spent in 1982. These are Federal Funds and must be used to benefit low and moderate income persons and must be spent in fiscal year 1982 or the City will lose the funds. Mr. Schumacher reported that he had consulted with two representatives of the Senior Citizens and they had felt that Mr. Schumacher's proposal to build a community room for use by the Senior Citizens was an acceptable program. Mr. Schumacher reported that he had attended a Congregate Dining Luncheon and discussed this with the entire group and encountered very positive re- actions. There seemed to be some misunderstanding in that this would have some effect on the dining arrangements as they now exist. Mr. Schumacher had explained that the proposed building would have no relationship to the dining arrangements, and there was general support of the idea at that time. Mr. Reinert suggested taking some of the Senior Citizens to such an exist- ing center so they could view it for themselves. Mayor Benson felt this proposal was a good idea - Mr. Reinert asked where the nearest facility was located and Mr. Schumacher said he thought Blaine was constructing such a facility - he will check. Mr. Kulaszewicz suggested looking for an empty building in Lino Lakes and use the money to remodel - Mayor Benson wondered about the maintenance if this facility is separate from the City Hall - It would be easier to maintain and control if it is a part of the City Hall complex. Mr.' Schumacher said he would gather more information and will put on the next agenda for more discussion. RESOLUTION 81 -3 JOINT LAW ENFORCEMENT COUNCIL Chief Myhre explained the purpose of this Resolution and recommended that Ithis City become a part of that organization. Mr. Marier asked what the cost to the City would be and Chief Myhre said there are no costs involved.
