1 1 33 July 22, 1974 The Park Board had discussed the benches from Sunrise Park, that had been removed last winter for use in the trailer here at the hall. These will be painted and returned to Sunrise. Benches at the Hall property will have to be taken care of when the necessity arises. Mr. Clausen will look into the cost of new goals and backstops for the hockey rinks. He is to check into regrading the hockey rinks before flooding begins. There had been a call from Mr. Ardel Braaten to inform the City that Play ground signs will be installed at the Hall property and at Lino Park. The Board Members in charge of the bong range Park plans had presented some preliminary thoughts as to the requirements and needs of the City. These will be tied together and finalized for presentation at the August Board meeting. Mr. Marier asked permission to present an item overlooked in his report. Skyline Auto body had appeared asking for approval of an addition to their present structure. Mr. Starr's report was consulted. Mr. LeTendre felt that the stipulations set forth in this report could be met in about six weeks. They will sow rye and grass in the back parking area for dust control and the slats should be in the screening fence at the end of that time. If the conditions set forth by Mr. Starr were agreed to and met, the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this request. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission had interviewed three applicants for the Supervisory position. They will interview five more at a meeting this week. The recommendation should be ready for the August 12, 1974 Council meeting. Mr. Zelinka said that he had been unable to attend the last Circle Pines Utility meeting. It had been held at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Mr. McLean asked if Lino Lakes has any recommending powers to this commission. Mr. Zelinka said he has only observers' power. Mr. McLean moved to have the Clerk write and request that the meetings be held at a more reasonable hour when normal working people have a chance to attend. He suggested an evening hour and that this be a regularly scheduled meeting. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski reported on the bids for the truck; Midway Ford - $11,655.00; Bill Boyer Ford - $13,494.73. There was discussion on deviations from the original specs, early delivery date, the P.T.O. on the crankshaft and the advantages of this, the differences in the Heil and Garwood boxes and if this P.T.O. unit could be installed in either truck. After much discussion, Mr. Marier moved to accept the lower bid of $11,655.00 from Midway Ford adding $182.00 for the installation of the P.T.O. unit on the crankshaft. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Hagen felt there was no reason why this unit could not be installed on either truck. Mr. Marier reminded the Clerk that a financial statement had been requested by the Council and he had not seen one. The Clerk will have this for the August 12, 1974 meeting.
