160 MAY 27, 1975 Mayor Bohjanen had also received a letter informing the Council that a Soil Resource map had been completed for the City of Lino Lakes in May, 1972. This letter is a follow up to that map. No action was taken by the Council on the questions asked in that letter. Mayor Bohjanen said that he had received a "Thank You from Centerville for the assistance given them by the Civil Defense, Police Department and Road Department. Mayor Bohjanen added his personal "Thanks" to those departments. There will be a complete report from the Civil Defense at a later date. Mr. Marier suggested that some of the Police Personnel be asked to refrain from forcasting the weather in the wake of such a storm. Some of the people had been told to expect the same thing in another couple of days. Mayor Bohjanen reported that he had been told that there is a forth coming resignation from the Police Department effective June 15, 1975. This matter was tabled for consideration when the letter of resignation is received. Mr. Locher asked the Council their thoughts on the 3.2% Beer Ordinance The general consensus of the members was that from all the merchants they had contacted, the rates on such insurance would be prohibitive. Mr. Locher said that he had had no case involving any part of this ordinance. After some discussion, Mr. Zelinka moved to table consideration of this ordinance for one year. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. There was no Old Business. No new business. Before consideration of the requisition, the financial position of the City was discussed. The money in the checking account will not cover the bills due and payable. The Clerk said that the monies from the liquor licenses due this date had not been received. There was dis- cussion on this problem. Mr. Jaworski wondered why the City requires the applicants to pay monies 30 days in advance of the expiration date on the license and yet the City charges interest for the second half of the payment. He was told these applications must be mailed to the State 30 days in advance of the license renewal and the City Ordinance requires that pay- ment be submitted with the application. Mr. Marier moved that the applicants be informed that payment is due within three days from this date and must be paid by that time or the applications will be denied. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. In view of the financial position, Mr. Zelinka moved to hold all requisitions. Seconded by Mr. Marier.
