The Clerk had received a request from Mrs. Vi Schwankl for something in writing stating that the gasoline tanks at their building on the corner of Lake Drive and Orange Streets meets; with the requirements of the City Ordinance.

The Clerk read a letter from Anoka County Board of Commissioners in connection with the monies available to be used for the employment of unemployed people. This will cover only newly created positions and is only funded for one year. It is not required that the person hired in this capacity be retained after the expiration of the funding. The City of Lino Lakes has been allotted the sum of $3,776.00 under this program. No decision was made on the use of these monies at this meeting. A new contract from Milner Carley had been received. After examining the contract, Mr. Jaworski moved to approve, seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. The Clerk reported that $79.40 had been received from Anoka County in payment for gopher bounty. A letter with the payment informed the City that the County will reimburse the City $.15 per pocket gopher if the City pays the individuals $.30 per pocket gopher. Since this does not affect the amount refunded to the City, no action was taken. The Clerk reported that she had received a copy of the new rates put into effect by NSP. These rates will be used until such time 4a ruling is handed down by the State Commission. Since Monday February 17th is a legal holiday, the Clerk asked if the Park Board Meeting scheduled for that date can been held and if the City Offices will be closed. Mr. Locher said the Board acts in an advisory ca- pacity only the meeting can be held as scheduled but the City Offices will be closed on that date.
