282 August 13, 1984 <br />NORTH CENTRAL /CIRCLE PINES GAS PROPOSALS <br />Mr. Gallaher of North Central presented Mr. Jerry Simon, their attorney. <br />Mr. Simon presented the Council with a history of the gas service <br />with the City of Lino Lakes, noting the various law suits that have <br />ensued over the years between the two companies. <br />Mr. Smith of North Central verified the rates being charged by North <br />Central and presented a copy of the rate sheets to the Council. He <br />also noted that North Central pays personal property taxes and that <br />a portion of that works its way back to this community. <br />Craig Rapp, Circle Pines Adminsitrator, presented the proposal for <br />the City of Circle Pines and noting this addition could benefit both <br />communities in the area of profits. <br />Mr. Rapp presented some of the cost items in conjunction with installa- <br />tion noting that there are some alternatives that could be done differ- <br />ently as to the installation but these are things that he would want <br />to discuss with the Council before a decision is made. <br />The Council received the information from both companies and took some <br />testimony from residents in the audience. Mayor Benson said the Council <br />will take both proposals under advisement and this matter will be on <br />a future agenda.
