JULY 28, 1975 Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Rod Hanson will be assisting Mr. Gerry Clausen in the inspection and recommendations for work to be done at Sunrise Park. Mr. McLean said a proposed bike trail had been received from the Park Board Commission, and he asked that copies be made for all Council Members, the Planning and Zoning Board, Centerville Council (since a portion of the trail will go through that community) and the Anoka Highway Depart- ment. The DNR will provide the signs to be posted by the City. The Bike Trail will follow existing roadways. The Park Board is looking at some cost estimates for the construction of a warming house to be located at the Hall property. He will have more on that at a later date. A suggested maintenance list had been presented to Mr. Volk and his answer had indicated that over one half of the items had either been started or completed and the remainder will be completed within the next two weeks. Mr. McLean reported that there is two recommendations for membership on the Park Board. Mrs. Ina Lilydahl and Mr. Harvey Karth. Mr. McLean moved to appoint Mr. Harvey Karth to fill the vacancy on the Park Board. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Mayor Bohjanen reported that he had attended the meeting on July 22, 1975 for consideration of the Land Use Bill. This meeting had been held in Anoka and had been chaired by Sen..Humphrey III. The general feeling of the communities represented at that meeting was that the Metropolitan Council must be more flexiable. Rigid lines cannot be drawn without considering the communities that are affected. Mr. Locher had presented the position of Lino Lakes. Mr. Locher said that he felt the Metropolitan Council doesn't get out into the communities and see what is going on. Mrs. Peterson is the first Representative that has visited Lino Lakes. He had told the panel that the Metropolitan Council cannot draft grid line and put people in them. People will build where they want even against good advice. Mr. Locher said the meeting had a good attendance but that there should have been a wider repre- sentation of communities. Mayor Bohjanen reported on the July 24th meeting at the Metropolitan Council Chambers. He had gotten the impression that while the Metropolitan Council would not admit any responsibility for the sewer problems in Lino Lakes, they will work with the City Engineer to solve this problem. He had told the joint committees that Lino Lakes must have Federal assistance. This City cannot put in an interceptor withou financial assistance. Mr. Locher felt that one of the main accomplishments of the meeting was that members of the Metropolitan Council understood the position that the City is in and that is in part, if not soley, due to actions by the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Locher felt that progress had been made on the solution of this problem.. A Resolution directing Mr. Gotwald to work with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the Engineering staff to solve this problem was asked for from this City City Council.
