Q-7_. , -4 ,�., -.� Clerk- Treasurer July 29, 1974 The special meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 8:05 p.m. on July 29, 1974 by Mayor Bohjanen. Councilmen present; Jaworski, McLean, Zelinka. Absent; Marier. Mr. Locher and Mr. Springstead were also present. Mayor Bohjanen said this meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing the status of the Temporary Bonds that are due on November 1, 1974. He turned the meeting over to Mr. Springstead for his comments. Mr. Springstead said that he would require some information in order to assess the situation. He asked what assessments are due and when they are expected. He also asked what the total assessment was. The Clerk will compute these figures for Mr. Springstead. Mr. Locher reported on the condemnation procedures that had been received for the Anoka County Park for Mr. Parta's office. The parcels are listed by number but do not give the legal descriptions. These descriptions are necessary in order to compute the assessments due on these parcels of land. Mr. Locher said that he did not know if the residents who are challenging the condemnation of the land planned to appeal the District Court decision or not. The owners of the land may petition for 75% of the amount awarded. He said the City could decide on how much of the specials should be paid at that time, but he would strongly recommend that the entire amount due be paid at the time the monies are awarded. Since the legal descriptions are not listed on the condemnation awards, the Clerk will have to determine what parcels of lands are included in each of the awards and compute the special assessments due. Mr. Springstead will make a list of the information he needs. The Clerk will have to get the plat and parcel numbers from the Anoka County Park Department. On the condemnation procedures that had been challenged by a group of residents of Lino Lakes and Centerville, Judge Larson upheld that the law giving Anoka County the right of condemnation was a valid law. Mr. Brooke, Attorney for the residents, had contacted Mr. Locher with the suggestion that Lino Lakes enter into the appeal with these residents. Mr. Locher estimated the cost to the City of a minimum of 2 to 3 thousand dollars. There was discussion on this possibility. The general consensus of the Council was this would be going back on the agreement that the City has with Anoka County. Also, at the present time the City is not a land owner as such.
