Sarner Clerk - Treasurer .Council Meeting , June 16. 1980 The special meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 7:45 P.M. by Mayor Gourley with all members present with the exception of Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mayor Gourley read a notice that hehad. received informing the City that the union contract for the maintenance employees would be going to mediation. The net item to be considered was the transfer of the liquor license for the Woodshed. This will be operated under the name of Mitra, Inc. with Mr. Gregory Schlosser applying for the license. The insurance papers are in order but the bond needs to be in the amount of $5.000.00 rather than the $3,000.00 that had been delivered to, the offices. Mr. Kluegel had inspected the lower level for the purposes of living quarters and found smoke detectors need to be installed, shower or bathing facilities, and kitchen facilities are needed. Chief Myhre had checked out the applicant and found no problems. Mayor Gourley felt that since there had been quite a lot of work done by the staff in connection with the transfer of this license, there should be an additional administrative cost of $100.00 t0 $125.00 to defray these costs. Mr. McLean asked how long it would take to complete the requirements to make the lower level adequate for living quarters and Mr. Marvare said, approximately, two weeks. Mayor Gourley said he had questioned the Attorney on this matter and Mr.;Locher said that Council's in past have waived this requirement for a short period. Council, Meeting June 16, 1980 Page 2 Mrs. Elsenpeter questioned the kitchen facility requirement and Mayor Gourley said a living unit must have kitchen facilities according to State Building Code. 119 Mr. McLean moved to approve the transfer of this License to be effective until July 1, 1980, when the new license will be issued, the Bond to be re- placed by a Bond in the amount of $5,00.00 Living facilities to be completed by July 1, 1980 prior to the issuance of the new license and an administration cost be paid by new owners in the amount of $125.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marvare told, the Council that he plans to run a clean and trouble free business at thatilocation. The feasibility study on the backup water system as prepared by Carley Eng. was discussed. Mr. Don Carley was present to present their findings and're -= commendations. Mr. Carely present three alternatives: 1. A new well to be interconnected with the existing well; 2. A new well plus an elevated tank with 100,000 gallon capacity; 3. A new well plus an 'elevated tank with the capacity of 750,000 gallons to serve the entire urban service area. Mr. Carley said the proposed location of this overhead tank is not fixed, the plan is completely flexible. The number one proposal would serve approximately 300 homes for the Country Lakes area - for over 300 should consider an elevated tank. number two would serve approximately 600 persons or 300 units; number three would serve approximately 2250 units and Mr. Carley pointed out that the area he had outlined had been computed by using 50 units per 40 acres. There was discussion of perhaps the location of the large elevated tank would interfer with the planes on Rice Lake - the size of the pipes that would be necessary. Mr. Carley felt that the tank would not interfer with the planes and he indicated the size of the pipes could vary depending on the distance from the tank to the area to be served. The general consensus of the Council was to look at a large area in the South- west portion of the City to be served and to consider the 750,000 gallon tank. The location, could be decided at the time the area to be served is considered. Mr. Carley presented some estimated cost figures; proposal no. 1 - 793.00 per lot; proposal No. 2 - 146.00 annually; proposal no. 3 - using acreage - 1550 lots 979.00 per lot - $88.00 annually. According to 'State Law at least 20% of the cost must be assessed. Mr. Carley said if 8d% was assessed and 20% assumed by the City this would compute to a 2.0 mil increase on 'the levy. Mrs. Elsenpeter suggested enlarging the area to include the Lexington Park Lakeview area and the Colonial Woods plat. Mayor Gourley said if this area is enlarged to include these areas, then the City must establish an assessment policy that can be applied for any project. This would include methods for assessing the cost of the system - by acreage - use revenue from systems such as imposing a unit charge $250.00 per unit. Council Meeting June 16, 1980 Page 3 The Council requested Mr. Carley to incorporate their suggestions into a revised study and have ready for the June 30, 1980 special Council meeting. The. Public Hearing on the, Lakes Add. #6 plat was called to order at 9:15 P.M. Mr. Schumacher presented the affadivate of publication.

The Planning and Zoning had considered this plat at the May 22, 1980 meeting and recommended approval of the preliminary plat.

Mr. Schumacher presented the Council with a :list of copy machine with figures on several different Brands for comparision. Mr. Schumacher explained that al- though this is not in the budget, he felt the purchase of a new machine would save this City some expense - 1) in the purchase price at this time and 2) in the cost of supplies. He discussed the advantages of the Xerox - the machine he is recommending for purchase at this time Mrs. Elsenpeter asked how this would be paid for - it was suggested that a monthly payment be worked out for the remainder of 1980 and the balance be put in the 1981 budget. Mr. McLean asked if the interest could be pro -rated and Mr. Schumacher said, Yes. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to purchase the Xerox 3100 with the stipulation that Balance & Contract be considered in the 1981 budget and that the interest be pro- rated. Seconded by Mr. McLean.

It was suggested that someone from a local real estate firm be used. Mr. Schumacher said these people have no credibility in court. Mayor Gourley felt this appraisal would be for the purpose of laying the ground work to make a determination on whether to go to court. There is also the problem of the resident on the Menkveld property. Mn Jaworski moved to hire a local real estate person for appraising these two properties. Seconded by Mr. McLean.
