August 11, 1980 Mr. McLean moved to authorize these expenditures to be taken from the dedicated funds. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. The next item to be discussed was a request from Forest Lake for $500.00 to be earmarked for use by the Recreation program to pay for a trip to Milwaukee. A $500.00 donation had been given to Centennial for the overall program, not for a specific item. Mr. McLean pointed this out and felt this is the only way this can be handled. He disagreed with a specific items to be designated to receive the money. Mayor Gourley reminded the Council that the action taken for Centennial was after a complete program had been presented to the City Council and this matter had been included in the budget. Mr. Schumacher reported that Centennial and Forest Lake had requested input from the City in the establishment of the Recreation program for the coming year. The Park Board had requested that Mr. Larry Crouse be appointed to represent the Park Board and he had requested that a Council member accompany him. Mayor Gourley appointed Mrs. Marilyn Elsenpeter. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked for some direction from the Council and Mayor Gourley sug- gested that this agency work with the Park Boark on their recommindations and this then can be forwarded to the Council for a decision. Mr. Schumacher reminded the Council this is a needed program in this City for the people but it will also be a plus in the application for LAWCON grants. The discussion of the fee schedule as prepared by Mr. Johnson was turned over to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson explained the reasons for his recommendations. Mayor Gourley went through the costs on the platting and discussed the ones that had come in lower than the proposed deposit. There is a provision for the refund- ing of any deposit that is not used in the platting process. The fee is not re- fundable. If there are additional costs, this will be billed when the deposit had been used. Mr. Johnson pointed out this is changing a paragraph in Ordinance No. 52. Mayor Gourley suggested that perhaps, since this is a very short ordinance, it might be advisable to repeal Ordinance No. 52 and write a new ordinance. Mr. Johnson pointed out this is also affected by severs) other ordinances. Mr.Locher will put this in a form that can be considered by the Council. A request from North CentOal Public Service for the installation of gas lines in Mardon Acres. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve this request. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. A request from the League of Minnesota Cities on the matter of the payment for the construction of a building to house that agencyls offices. There were several methods suggested as a means by which the Cities could pay the money. 1) in a lump sum; 2) over a 5 year period; 3) over a 10 year period. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the amounts that would be due from this City under each of the above plans. The fourth alternative would be to increase the dues by 20% but it does not state for how long. This survey should be answered by August 2.5, 1980. The general consensus of the Council was that would prefer to pay for this in one lump sum. Mr. Jaworski moved
