,9 Council Meeting February 22? 1982 Mr. Rosenbower stated that Mr. Surman is the sole owner of that establis- ment, and has no connections with the previous owners. Mr. Rosenbower indicated that all the corporations listed either do not exist or Mr. Surman is no longer a part of the corporation. There were some questions from the Council which Mr. Rosenbower gave answers, and some he did not have the answers. He refused to have the Council question Mr. Surman on some of these points stating that Mr. Surman would not answer any questions until he (Mr. Rosenbower) had an opportunity to study Chief Myhre's report. He did state that the license would be in the name of Mrs. Linda Lee Adams, who owns 10% of the corporation. 1 The Council reviewed the problems that Chief Myhre had documented with the establishment in Lino Lkaes and discussed some of the other aspects of this request. Mr. Kulaszewicz requested a 10 minutes recess at 8:05 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:20 P.M. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to deny this liquor license on the basis that it would not be in the best interest of the citizens of Lino Lakes. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rosenbower informed the Council that his client, Mr. Surman, would instigate a law suit to force the Council to issue this license. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to report on the proposed project that had been received at his office. 1 Mr. Schumacher reported that he had received proposals for 1) give the funds to the Anoka County Rehabilitation program; 2) construct a storm shelter for the Mobile Home Court; 3) for the construction of a senior citizen residence. Mr. Schumacher reported that the City is not eligable for the Title 2 funds that would assist in this construction. This must be done by a non - profit organization such as a Church; 4) a senior citizen center addition to the City Hall, 5) Alexandra House, 6) utiltiy construction. Mr. Schumacher introduced Debbie Hibler, of Coon Rapids, who is the director of the senior citizen program in that City. Ms. Hibler reported that their program has only been in existance two years. In the begining it was hard to get even 15 persons to the center. Now, the membership is such that they need additional space. The programs are entirely in the hands of the senior citizens - this is their organ- ization and they control the manner in which it operates. An active senior citizen, Mrs. Evelyn Cartwright, presented her reasons for being a part of the organization and answered questions from the Council. The Council has some questions that Ms. Hibler answered. Mr. Reinert moved to designate $5,000.00 to the Alexandra House and the remainder of the money be spent for the construction of a Senior Citizen Center 1
