COUNCIL MEETING August 11, 1986 Page Eleven IIMr. Stallberg asked what the assessment policy would be concerning 4th Avenue since this is the first state aid road to be constructed in Lino Lakes. Does the Council wish to assess a portion of the street construction as well as the cleaning out of the ditch. 1 Mr. Marier said that all eligible MSA funds, County funds and Rice Creek Watershed funds will be used and then the balance assessed. Mr. Reinert said then each new assessment area will be considered on an individual basis. Mr. Stallberg commented that as a practical matter each time a new assessment comes up you refer back to how the assessment was handled the last time. So what the Council is doing now is probably going to establish a precedent that will carry on to each new project. ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS A. Application for Beer Permit - Circle Lex Lions Club - Sandburr Days - Mr. Marier moved to approve this request. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PARK BOARD REPORT - DON VOLK A. Jim Arntzen - Ice Arena Proposal - Mr. Arntzen explained to the Council that a non - profit organization named the Centennial Area Civic Committee has been formed and is in the process of looking for some property to be donated for an ice arena site or for the use of some City property for the site. The Park Board has approved the concept for the ice arena and has asked that a two and one -half acre site be made available for this project. Mr. Arntzen explained why a hocky rink is being proposed for Lino Lakes and said there was great interest in this facility. However, before this organization can approach the private sector for funding, a site m ust be selected. His organization is also preparing grant applications. 167 Mayor Benson asked what liability could be incurred if the arena is built and cannot function. Mr. Hawkins said if the City owns the property, there is no liability. If a leasement agreement is prepared, the City should insist on insurance and /or guarantees. The building would become City property if the organization defaults. Mayor Benson asked that this matter be referred back to the Park Board for recommendations on a site. This will be brought back to the Council for action in September.
