144 Council Meeting February 8, 1982 consideration - the home for battered women, a senior citizens building, housing rehabilitation - he felt he needed more facts in order to consider these funds. Mr. Reinert suggested appointing a committee of interested citizens to research this and report back to the Council. Mayor Benson felt that the time is too short for this procedure to be followed and he felt that if the citizens are aware of what is needed, the proposals should be presented for Council consideration. Mr. Schumacher reported on a meeting he had attended at Lexington to hear a proposal from Lexington and Circle Pines for the purchase of Lovell School. Those two communities have some plans and had suggested that perhaps Lino Lakes would be interested in the Cafetorium portion of the building to be used for the Senior Citizens. The general feeling of the Council was there could be problems in getting financially involved_ in a building outside the City limits. There was a question of the legal problems that could evolve. Mr. Handy, of the Senior Citizens, presented his reasons for his group not being interested in the proposed Senior Citizens building. Mr. Schumacher pointed out this is a good example of some of the misinfor- mation that has been given to the Senior Citizens. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that the current organization has few members from Lino Lakes and he noted this building was'being considered for the Citizens of Lino Lakes. Mr. Reinert wondered how many of the people of his organization were actual residents of Lino Lakes and Mr. Handy said he would get a list to the City offices by the first of the week. A list of some of the proposals by the citizens was presented - they pro- posed to use the money for housing rehab, the Alexandra House, storm shelter for the trailer court. Some facts and figures on these proposals was presented for Council consideration. The general consensus of the Council was that, if someone has a project they should put the proposal in writing to include the dollar amount and what can be constructed for those dollars. This information to be in the next Council packet.
