Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve the disbursements. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion declared passed. Mr. Schumacher presented Ordinance #32 and 32A which deals with the park- ing and sotring of vehicles in a residential area. This matter had been presented at the last Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The problem on County Road J and Baldwin Lake Road has been cleaned up to the satis- faction of the residents. Mr. Schumacher presented the actions of the Planning and Zoning Board, The first item to be considered was Arena Acres. The matter of a dead end street butting up to Andall Street was discussed. Andall is a private street and must be dedicated to the City beforeait can become a City Street. The Park didication was also discussed. The Park Board had asked for Lot 7 to be dedicated to the City and the developer construct 2 tennis courts and a tot lot. Mr. Rehbein agreed to construct 2 double tennis courts according to City specifications and to grade the tot lot, It will be the responsibility of the City to provide the nets, posts and fence for the courts and to install the play equipment on the tot lot. The names of the streets msut be cahged - the numbered streest do not line up with the existing pattern of the City. Mr. Jaworski moved to set a public hearing on the plat of Arena Acres for March 10, 1980 at 8:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The Forest Glen Plat was considered. This plat has received approval several years ago but had not been presented to the Council for fina; approval. The developer must then start all over agin. The Planning and Zoning Board had found no problems with this plat with the excetion that approval of the Rice Creek Watershed Board should be updated also, as wekk as a ketter frin tge Anoka County Highway Department since some of the lots face a County Road. Mr. McLean arrived at 8:15 P.M. January 28, 1980 57 Mr. Jaworski moved to set a public hearing on the Forest Glen Plat for March 10, 1980 at 8:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared 1 passed. Mr. Jaworski felt that the Planning adn Zoning Board should be notified that in the future, all materials sue on the plat must be available before a public hearing is set. Mr. Schumacher questioned the rate for Park Dedication - the Council said this is not a question. The rate for this plat is $1500.00 per acre. Mr. Roy Stanley had requested a variance for lot splits. This is splitting the buildable portion of a lot from the ponding area. There was discussion as to who owns this ponding area and whose responsibility it is to maintain this ponding area. The many facets of this problem was discussed with two areas being considered — either deny the aplit or request a deed for the pond. Mr. Stanley pointed out there are several ponding areas in the Sunset Oaks Plat and that he is willing to write a deed to the City for all the poiding2areas. The Council felt that perhaps this is the best method to handle the ponding areas - all ponding areas con be put on one deed. Mr. Jaworski moved to table cosnideration of these variances until the deed for the ponding areas is received. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The Wollan Estates was considered next. The Planning and Zoning took no action on this plat. This will come before the Planning and Zoning at their February meeting. The same applied for the Lino Industrial Park Plat. The Sunset Oaks 2nd Addition feasibility plan was discussed. This is in an area planned for industrial development. The platting for residential development was questioned. Since this is only a dketch, Mr. Schumacher questioned the expense of developing a preliminary plat, send to Engineer, and Planner and the, perhaps, denying residential development in that area. Mr. Stanley will consider the Council's suggestions. Mr. Richard Barrot applied for permission to store vehicles in the rear of his garage. The Planning and Zoning Board requested Mr. Barrot to go back and get permission from his neighbors. Mr. McLean felt to allow car storage for any person other thant residents in the service, would be a mistake. This matter had been tabled at the Planning and Zoning level - no action is required by this Council. The final plat of Pine Oaks was considered. Mr. Locher had done a title search and felt there is a marketable title. The mineral reservations, the existing ditch Lein that must be satisfied, also, the pipeline easement. There is to be cash in leiu of land in the amount of 7.9 x $1100.00= $8690.00. Mr. McLean moved to authorize the signing of this plat, with the provision that the Park dedication money be in before the mylar copies are signed. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The Council was to consider the request of the Centennial School District for assistance for their summer recreation program. There was some discussion on this matter. The point that these requests should be presented to the City Council in June in order to be considered at budget time. It was suggested a decision be delayed until the financial statement has been discussed. 58 January 28, 1980 The developers agreement was considered. Mr. Jaworski felt this agreement is repetitive of existing ordinances, state law, or points that coule be made a part of the plat. He fet that a check list is the only needed item, with the exception of street signs. Mr. Schumacher presented copies of a shorter developers agreement which he felt would serve the same purpose and be less cumbersome to administrate. The general consensus of the Council was this would be much easier to work with. Mr. Gotwald requeted the Engineer and the Attorney get together and revise the Ordinance dealing with street specifiactions. This is to be put on the agenda. Mayor Gourley said he would line to have time to lbmk at this. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to table this matter. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion declared passed. Compensation for City Board members was discussed. Mr. Schumacher had called several communities and found they do not compensate their board members. State Laws say that Park Board members may not be paid more than $100.00 per year - there is no specifications set forth for Planning and Zoning Board members. Mr. McLean felt any compensation should be for expenses - mileage - this to be a flat sum for the month, being perhaps contingent upon attendance at the meetings. After some discussion, Mayor Gourley suggested $100.00 per year, to be paid quarterly if 70% of all scheduled meetings are attended. Mr. McLean moved tha P &Z and Park Board be compensated for expenses $100.00 per year to be paid quarterly, and members to attend 70% of scheduled meetings. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. (Add Quarterly after scheduled,) Motion declared passed. The status of the comprehensive report on the special use permits and re- zonings was discussed. Mayor Gourley asked this be finalized by the last meeting in February. The Clerk felt this could be done, if no, she would report to the Council. Mr. Gotwald presented a report on Anoka County's plans for upgrading Highway #8. This is to include grading and drainage. This is prelininary plans and more will be presented at a later date. Mr. Gotwald askd for permission to contact the County on the matter and the Council agreed. Mr. Schumacher presented the financial statement for the month of December and explained the figures. This was thoroughly discussed by the Council. The next item on the agenda was the appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a one year term. Mr. McLean talked to Mr. Charles Prokop. of Deer Pass Trail and he had agreed to take the position. Mr. McLean moved to appoint Mr. Charles Prokop to serve for a one year term on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. Sewer and water rates will be updated as of March 24th. Mr. Schumacher will present this report to the Council by that date. The City's priorities for the coming year were discussed. Mr. MCLean IMr. McLean moved that the general priorities rank roads, police, fire, administration and parks in that order. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion declared passed. January 28, 1980 59 explained this would set what would come before something else in the areas of needs. He had outlined an approach on this matter putting them in the order of roads, police & fire, administration, and parks. Most Council members agreed with this concept. Mr. Schumacher presented information dealing with the League of Minneosta Cities annual league convention. It is to be held in Duluth this year in June. He recommended that the new members attend this Convention, in particular. Mr. Schumacher presented a brief outline of the agenda. The matter of costs was discussed and how this is to be handled. Mayor Courley suggested the City paying registration, hotel for two nights, receipted meals and mileage. Mr. McLean moved to approve this suggested method of payment. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The members who will attend are Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Schumacher, Mayor Gourley and Mr. Schumacher. The 1978 Federal Revenue Sharing Audit as presented by Anfinson & Hendirckson was discussed. Mr. Schumacher said there are a few errors made but are insignaficate. The numbers as reported did not agree with this audit but they are not errors, just figures entered in wrong columns. Mo action is necessary on this. Under Old Business, Mr. Jaworski reported that he had talked to Mr. Dave Torkildson and a meeting ofthe Ad Hoc Committee will be called in February. Mr. Jaworski discussed a report from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission on a study being done on disposal of the solid waste residual. This study will cost $93,859.00/ Je felt this had been taken care at the time the plans was constructed. He also discussed another study on improvement to the plant of over $140,000.00. Mr. Jaworski also discussed the certificate of indebtedness on tax anticipation receipts. He wondered if this was legal. Mayor Gourley requested the use of the Hall on April 12, 1980 for use by the Lioness' Club. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve this. Seconded by Mr. McLean. ,r/ Schumacher will check this matter to see if Council approval is needed. Mrs. Elsenpeter had also requested to use the Hall on Saturday, February 2, 1980 fpr Cub Scouts. After some discussion approval was given to these uses. Motion declared passed unanimously. Mayor Gourley reported on the Circel Pines Council meeting where they were told that that City was not required to give Lino Lakes representation on Utility Commission and Mr. Wayne Dannheim was appointed. Mrs. Elsenpeter suggested that this Council make an effort to have repre- sentation on the Utility Advisory Commission. Mayor Gourley requested Mr. Gotwald to discuss with Mr. Locher the possibility of including a section in the ordinance on roads on rural construction, to in clude the specifications and requirements for this type of street. Mayor Gourley suggested repealing the old ordinances on street construction and starting all over. Mr. Gotwald agreed with this concept. Mr. Schumacher asked for the Council's decision on money to the Centennial School District. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved that this City contribute $500.00 gn January 28, 1980 to the program, offer that orginazation the use of any of the City Parks and stipulate that, in the future, if contributions are expected from this City, the request must be made in the summer months before budget hearings begin. Mr. Schumacher suggested the deadline be July 1, of each year. Mr. McLean added that nay other school district's request be considered in this same manner. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz.

This will be for Mrs. Anderson rather than the Police Department. The replacement of the door at Sunrise was explained. Mr. Kulaszewicz felt that Mr. Mobley's resignation had been accepted effective January 1, 1980.
