DECEMBER 8, 1975 Mr. Zelinka felt this department must have some input - where does this information generate from? What would be the procedure for a City such as Lino Lakes? Mr. Laher offered Mr. Parr and his staff; some of the information is from record files in the Courthouse; some from the area Chruches, some from other agencies. Mr. Laher explained the use of the detoxification unit in Hennepin County and the inter - related family problems resulting. Mr. Zelinka said the catagory of "family problems" had not been included in the original statement - is this an added one? Mr. Laher said that " only as they realte to the areas served," He said the reasons for their visit to the Council is that the department felt the information needed would be better known by local people. Mr. Jaworski asked if the Kingsman and Big Brother orginazations would be a part of their covered areas and Mr. Laher said, Yes, to a certain point. Mr. Laher also explained this department works very closely with the presently organized units in order to avoid the duplication of services. Mr. Marier thought this is something that should be followed up and asked that the Mayor consider this when making his appointments for the coming year. Mayor Bohjanen agreed and thanked the men for their presentation. Mr. Laher reminded the Council his office is open for anyone at any time. Mr. Marier asked a man from the audience if he had something he wished to discuss with the Council. This was Mr. Schroepfer who is drilling the well at Sunrise Park. Mr. Schroepfer said that he is down 250 feet and is going through shale rock. Once through that he should hit water that will give the desire amount. Mr. Marier asked if he had hit water before this depth and Mr. Schroepfer said that he had hit water between 65 and 90 feet. This was at the same depth as the old well and he did not have sufficient water to give the 50 gallons per minute as specified. Mr. Schroepfer said that once through the shale, then he would be in the type of rock that would eliminate the need for a screen. Thus, if it beocme necessary to go another 50 feet, it would only add about $25.00 to the overall cost. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize Mr. Shcroepfer to go another 50 feet. Seconded by Mr. Marier, motion carried unanimously. Under Old Business, Mr. Jaworski told the Council that he and Mr. Marier had spent about three lhours in the offices the day after Thanksgiving going through the records in the Clerk's office and checking in the Police Office. He had made copies of some of the things that he felt was worng. Mr. Jaworski had inspected the petty Cash expenditues for stamps and found only one receipt for $30.00 but $102:00 had been spent for postage. He felt a better accountability should be made of these funds. There were also petty cash slips for pay out for gopher feet but no voucher signed by the person who received the payment.
