1 1 1 37 November 14, 1977 Mr. McLean reported that there was no Planning and Zoning Board meeting. There had been no feed back from the meeting with the Parks and Open Space Committee and nothing from the special meeting with Mr. Boland. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher to work out an Ordinance on mining of soils in the City that would controt.tlne mining by elevation in conjunction with the surrounding properties. There would be no need for escrow monies and the inspection could be handled by the Engineer. Mr. Locher said a bonding provision should be included to insure the lands being returned to usable state. He will have sample ordinances ready for the next Council meeting. The Clerk was instructed to make a list of all fees and get a survey of the surrounding communities for comparison. Mr. Schneider reported on a meeting with Mr. Tomsche, Administrative Director at MMTC. They had received a report on the type of men that will be housed in that facility. Each Council member has a copy of the specifications. He also reported on the possibility of obtaining CETA help for care of the hockey rinks. There will be further reports on this. The South rink at Sunrise will be graded this week. The North rink will be used for pleasure skating. The Lions Club will be holding a fund raiser for funds to construct a warming house at Lino Park. More on this later. Mr. Locher suggested considering raising the fine for a misdemeanor to $500.00 as required by the State. The present limit is set at $300.00. Mr. Locher said he would call the Lea- gue on this matter. The order from the Judges requiring Attorneys present at arraignments was discussed. Mr. Locher said this would substantially increase the costs and the work load of his office. He felt there would be at least 5 hours extra per week depending on how the Clerk of Courts sets the hearings. Mr. Schneider asked if the City can send a letter to the Clerk of Court asking for all Lino Lakes cases to be set at the same session. Mr. Locher said yes, amd also suggested that perhaps the communities could be listed alph- abetically and each given a time slot. Mr. Schneider moved the clerk to write the Clerk of Court with these suggestions. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Tom Oswald, representing the Forest Lake Youth Service Bureau, appeared before the Council. He presented a summary of the work that is being done and asked for financial support from this City. Mr. Schneider said the City's budget is not set as yet and some jugling of the figures need to be done. All the City can do is keep him in mind. Mr. Oswald asked if they could expect some assistance for this year and was told, not at this time. The Clerk was instructed to put the matter of a tickler file on the agenda for the next Council meeting. There was some discussion on the Fire Contracts. Mr. McLean had talked to Mr. LaValle informally. Mayor Bohjanen had arrived and said he had talked to Mayor Fogerty and had been told the City would need to work through Spring Lake Park.
