September 8, 1980 The disbursements were considered. Mayor Gourley noted there is an addition to the disbursment list. A C.O.D. package had arrived at the office and the Clerk had paid for the item with her personal check in the amount of $42.39. There was a question on the check to Don Striecher Guns - this item is a light bar for the squad car. Mr. Jaworski requested that such unusual items be noted so questions aren't necessary. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the disbursements including the addition as presented. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion car- ried unanimously. Under Open Mike, Mr. Pete Nadeau had been scheduled. Mrs. Nadeau had been here earlier and said Mr. Nadeau would noj- be able to be here this early. Mayor Gourley had told her he would try and fit Mr. Nadeau in at a later time. Mayor Gourley presented a Resolutuon authorizing the Clerk to sign the application form for a contract for purchasing at SASP, for the 1980 -81 contract year. Mr. McLean moved to approve this Resolution. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski,. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher presented the request for interfund transfer of monies. This is for the transfer of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds from that fund to the general fund, also some monies from the dedicated park funds to the general fund. Mr. Schumacher pointed out this is basic housekeeping to keep fund balances correct. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the transfer of $47,198.00 from Federal Revenue Sharing funds to General Funa. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the transfer of $4,600.00 from Dedicated Park funds to General fund. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewica. Motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing on the Assessment Rolls for the Black Duck Drive project. Mayor Gourley read a letter from Robert L. Peterson objecting to the policy of the City requiring all assessments to be prepaid before a building permit will be issued. The Clerk read the legal publication of notice that was published in the paper. Mr. Gotwald explained the matter in which the total cost of the project had been computed:. He also explained that the undeveloped lands to the North had been included in the computation for the amount it had cost to put the line deeper in order to service this land. Mr. Gotwald had also computed the approximate cost to the County for the portion of Black Duck Drive that borders Anoka County Park Property. However, this amount was not a part of the basic assessment roll, but was over and above. Mr. Gotwald explained that several methods had been conside- ered for spreading the costs of this improvement project. The final cost had to- taled out at $94.83 per front foot. The Tots on the cul -de -sac had been computed by adding the front footage and the rear footage and the $94.83 per foot computed on that figure. Mr. Gotwald discussed the reasons why he had computed the costs for the Anoka County Park land - the benefits to the park land by having water and streets abutting the lands for the use of fire departments. There was some discussion as to how this can be handled. The general consensus was that street and water should be assessed and sewer assessments deferred. Mr. McLean moved to assess the County for water and street for 535 feet and de- fer the sewer assessments until needed and then assess on a per connection basis. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously.
