A - Mayor Benson: Council will be putting together an improvement assessment policy in the near future for this project and others within the City. Mr. Stahlberg: According to the current time- table for this project, assessment hearings should be held in September, 1987. ? - Will property owners who do not have curb along their property be assessed for curb? A - Mr. Schumacher: No, property owners can only be assessed for what directly benefits them. MOTION: Mr. Bisel moved to enter into a joint powers agreement (as presented this evening, wherein the total estimated cost to the City of Lino Lakes is $50,958.04) with Anoka County for the Main Street Improvement Project. Included in the joint powers agreement should be language to assure that bids can only be accepted if they do not exceed 110% of the estimated cost. Mr. Marier seconded the motion which carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING THE ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT - LAKE ANIMAL CARE or KNOLLTON KENNELS Mr. Tom Langley, representative from Lake Animal Care appeared before the Council and answered questions on procedure and service fees. Mr. Reinert stated that he had heard several citizen complaints that Lake Animal Care has in the past behaved more as "police" than "ser- vice"; it was suggested that Lake Animal Care improve their public relations. Mr. Bisel asked why the City pays a flat fee to Lake Animal Care to patrol and pick up dogs, and then the pet owner also has to pay to get their dog back. Mr. Langley said that is the con- tract which the City has agreed to. Mr. Bisel said he felt that pet owners should be responsible for their pets and the City should not be responsible to pay for the service; he favored Knollton Kennels because their fee schedule was set up this way. MOTION: Mr. Bisel moved to award the animal control contract to Knollton Kennel for one year. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion which carried unanimously. ENGINEER'S REPORT Contour Map Quotes - Mr. Stahlberg recommended that of the two quotes (Mark Hurd @ $62,000 or Horizons Inc. @ $34,255) the lower quote be accepted for contour maps of the City. He felt that Horizons Inc. was a reputable firm; their technical representative, Daryl Sather, he had worked with before. MOTION: Mr. Marier moved to accept a quote from Horizons Inc. for $34,255 for contour maps per Mr. Stahlberg's 2/9/87 memo on this subject. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion which carried unanimously. 1
