1 1 49 August 26, 1974 to be considered before budget hearings. Mr. Kent and Mr. Resch are putting together some ideas for the Hall property. Mr. McLean will have more on this at a later date. The House, barn and warming house at Sunrise Park have all been painted. The fence is complete at Lino Park. The check for this work is in the bills. There was some discussion of the condition of the gate - it needs some bracing as does the gate at the well house. Mr. Jaworski moved to hold this check until these gates are fixed. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski interupted to say that he had had a call just before this meeting asking that some sort of mini bike riding area be set up to keep the riders off the streets. Mr. Marier felt that these people shoud be asked to appear at the Park Board meetings with their request and an idea of what would be required. Mr. Locher returned and told Mr. Marier that Patrolman Kirschbaum will take anew set of pictures and write up a complaint this week in connection with the trailer. Mr. Marier also reported that Mr. Cecil LaMotte had requested an access to Centerville Lake via the Outlot located in his Second Addition. He only wanted this for the residents in his area and not as a public access. The P &Z thought that since this outlot is the property of Lino Lakes it would have to be a public access and the problem of crossing water department property would create another set of problems. Mr. Marier will contact Mr. LaMotte. Mr. Zelinka had contacted Mr. Jaworski in connection with the hiring of the supervisor. There was discussion on whether to hire Mr. Peters of interview the applicants. Mr. Jaworski moved to write to Mr. Peters and state that while his qualifications were excellent, the Council felt that at this time the City could not absorb his salary demands. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. The need to interview more of the applicants was discussed. Mr. Jaworski moved to contact the next six applicants and interview these men on Thursday August 29, 1974 at 7:30 p.m. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski presented the findings of the Police Study Commission. The Clerk read the report and Mr. Jaworski asked the Council for their comments. There was discussion of the anticipated cost for vehicles and a building for the full time department. Mr. Jaworski felt that at the present time, the buildings were adequate. There is a possibility of expanding into the small conference room in order to enlarge the office space. This will probably be necessary whether there is a full time department or it,the City continues on a part time basis. Mr. Marier asked how many extra hours of coverage a day this would give the City and Mr. Jaworski said about 19 hours. The present hours are from 7:00 or 7:30 p.m. until midnight during the week and until about 2:00 p.m. on the weekends. Mr. Marier asked where the vehicles would be housed. Mr. Jaworski said here at the Hall; Mr. Marier - is there room? Mr. Jaworski - will have to make room. At the present time and under this suggested budget no additional building needs have been anticipated for the Police Department.
