March 10, 1975 Mr. Locher felt that our present insurance would cover riders but he wants to consult with Mr. Ray on this. Mr. Marier asked that this information be presented at the next Council meeting. Mr. Jaworski had no report. Mr. Marier reported on the application from the St. Paul Water Dept. to pump water from Otter Lake. A letter had been written to Mr. Hickock, Engineers for the Rice Creek Watershed District, requesting this information. Under Chapter 9, page 18 of the Rice Creek Watershed District's charter they are charged to establish the water level in the lakes. Mr. Marier moved to deny the application of the St. Paul Water Department until a minimum water level is established. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Charles Nelson to get his soil test to Mrs. Opal Peterson. Mr. Nelson said that he had given copies to Mr. John Doyle last Thursday at the hearing and he had failed to pass them on to her. Mr. Nelson had called Mr. Doyle, and he, Mr. Nelson, will personally see that they get to Mrs. Peterson. Mr. McLean reported on the first meeting of the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee meeting for the Chain of Lakes Park. This was an informational meeting for explaining the areas covered and points in the Guideline Policy developed by the City's Open Space Commission and The Anoka County Park board. These were areas that some of the members were not aware of. Mr. McLean felt that there is a good year's work involved. There are about ten field trips planned. This will be time consuming but Mr. McLean felt worthwhile. Mr. Gotwald reported on an application for continued water pumping at the Youth Center. The well is an 8" well and is 515 feet deep; Mr. Gotwald felt there was no particular objection to this well. Mr. Marier moved to approve the application. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. There was also an application for the continued use of the sanitary facilities. Mr. Marier moved to recognize and approve application MN 0044423 for use of on -site sewer facilities at the Youth Center. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. There was information on the upgrading of County Road 23 and the Council asked Mr. Gotwald to contact the County Engineer for input to this project. Mr. Locher had received maps from HUD in connection with the Flood Insurance program. These were turned over to Mr. Gotwald for comparaision. Mr. Gotwald had attended a seminar on this subject and he felt that the maps are a problem because they are so out of date. Engineers have been hired to update these maps. Mr. Locher said the City has one year to accept this insurance or the City will be forced to accept.
