204 SEPTEMBER 8, 1975 had been formulated. The Board recommended that these gentlemen be asked to sponsor legislation for the State to provide facilities for the Police Training of Part -Time Police Personnel. This should be an evening class in order for the men to be able to attend. This training is necessary due to the new gun control law and the fact that cases are being thrown out of court because the arrests are made by non - certified Officers. Mr. Jaworski so moved. Seconded by Mayor Bohjanen. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski also presented a proposed program for the tagging of Juveniles who violate bicycle Rules of the Road. These young people would be issued a tag and copy of the tag mailed to their parents. The materials necessary to instigate this program would cost about $90.00. Mr. Jaworski felt that the service clubs in the area would pick up the cost but if they did not then he felt the Cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes should pay and pro -rate the total figure. Mr. McLean asked if there was an Ordinance on bicycles and Mr. Jaworski said, No, this program would operate under the State Law. Mr. Jaworski moved to adopt thisprogram and if the costs are not picked up by the service clubs, then Lino Lakes and Centerville assume the res- ponsibility; motion was seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. The Dog Program had also been discussed. Mr. Jaworski felt that all existing ordinances on dog control should be repealed and a new one written along the lines of the sample ordinances that had been obtained from Roseville. There are some paragraphs in this Ordinance that do not apply to our area and there are some areas that are not covered. Mr. Reinhart Alexejew, from the audience, said that his daughter had been attached twice recently by dogs and her face is so badly marred that she must have plastic surgery. He lives on Baldwin Lake Road and felt that the dog situation in that area is out of hand. The practice of registering the dogs instead of issuing licenses was discussed. These are items that must be written into the ordinance. Mayor Bohjanen suggested that all information be referred to Mr. Locher for the drafting of a new Ordinance, and have it ready for consideration at the next Council Meeting. In the meantime, it was suggested that the Police and Animal Control concentrate on that area. Mr. McLean had no report. Mr. Zelinka reported on the requirement of the PERA that the City pass a resolution to the effect that all City employees must retire at age 65. This only affects one employee at this time. This is necessary since that employee reached the age of 65 without having been enrolled in the PERA for 10 years. Without the resolution of mandatory retirement at age 65, only the amount contributed by that employee can be received, with the resolution, a regular retirement payments will be received. Mr. Zelinka moved to pass a resolution to establish a mandatory retirement age of 65 for all Lino Lakes City Employees effective this date. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Aye. Mr. Gotwald gave his report on the interceptor. He reported that the staffs have met several times to discuss the differences. Metropolitan Waste
