COUNCIL MEETING September 9, 1985 Page Eight He asked for some directions regarding selling the City owned lots on Black Duck Drive. Should we re- advertise all the lots or re- serve lot #2 next to the well house. Mayor Benson said since this was not an agenda item and the en- gineer was not prepared to comment the Council would not deal with it tonight. Mr. Schumacher said there is an active interest in the lots and he would like this resolved yet this year. Mayor Ben- son asked him to prepare a recommendation for the next Council Meeting. This recommendation should include the engineers recom- mendation on lot #2 next to the well house. ADMINISTRATORS REPORT Mr. Schumacher told the Council the computer hardware is here and will be located in the Senior Center until the remodeling is com- pleted. We will start with payroll, proceed to word processing and then sewer billings and financial reports. The remodeling has started. Two local area semi - retired carpenters are performing the preliminary work. He is working with the prison on the construction of the demountable walls. Mr. Schumacher, Mr. Marier and Mr. Bohjanen met with officials at the Correctional Facility along with Circle Pines Representative. The major issue of this meeting was the price of the gas that Cir- cle Pines was charging them. The Correctional Officials wanted to see if 1) the price of gas from Circle Pines could be reduced, 2) explore an option of obtaining gas from North Central since North Central has offered their gas at a lower rate but would not commit on how long the lower rates would remain in effect or 3) explore using wood chips for fuel. Circle Pines is now compiling data to determine what effect it would have on the Lino Lakes gas system if we too offered a lower rate. This information will be ready by September 12, 1985. Mr. Schumacher will update the Council on this matter. The Correctional Facility would like an answer from this Council by the end of the month. OLD BUSINESS A.
