January 4,1978 Mr. Kartb, presented a letter from the Centennial Schools asking for a Resolution supporting their application for a grant for the establishing of a Community Action Program. The Resolution was read and some discussion of the programs followed. This Resolution is for support of the school in this effort and will not entail any costs to the City. Mr. McLean moved to adopt the following Resolution. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes does believe in Community based programs, and WHEREAS, The City Council believes the citizens of Lino Lalkes are interested in learning new communication, parenting, and self - awareness skills, and 5 WHEREAS, We, the elected officials of Lino Lakes, do support the School Districts attempt at reaching the citizens of our community thorugh the Community Action Program, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the City Council of Lino Lakes endorses the concept of the Community Action Program and encourages all citizens of the community to consider participation in this project. The motion was duly seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean reported on the proposal on the park land dedication as suggested by Drovers State Bank. The City had been offered land just South of the Creek, but upon inspection, this had been rejected as being too low and too costly to make usable. A meeting had been held with members of the Bank's Board of Directors and members of the City Council. The lands lying general South of the Creek owned by Drovers State Bank had been offered. This would include the original parcel plus the parcel to the South. The members of the Council had inspected this land and found it to be usable. Mr. McLean said the additional land is generally high and has the possibility of a beach. He felt this should be used as a passive park without ball fields or hockey rinks with the possibility of this area being fenced sometime in the future. The general consensus of the members whod had seen the land was acceptance. Mr. McLean moved to accept the offer of the lands lying South of the creek along 7th Avenue containing 20 acres more or less, with Mr. Locher to get a legal description and survey, to contact Drovers State Bani's Attorney for transfer of title, with this land to be accepted for the purpose of Park and Recreational Open Space, subject to the conveyance of a saleable title. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. There was some question as to the taxes;, are they current? is there an abstract? does the Bank provide an anstract? or does the City? Mr. Karth felt that something more than a quit claim deed is necessary - at least a warranty deed. Mr. Locher will check these matter. Mr. McLean amended his motion to add, 'all taxes paid through December 1977.' Mr. Schneider accepted the addition. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Luther LeVessuer had presented a request for a variance to split the land his home os located on just back of the sport shop. The Planning and Zoning had re- commended approval, providing he combined the remaining parcel woth two lots he owns just to the East. On consulting the maps it has been discovered there is a platted street separating these parcels of land. This matter was turned over to Mr. Locher to check this out, including the possibility of vacating that street. Mr. LeVessuer is to be informed of this action and told he may contact Mr. Locher for more information. A registered land survey prepared by the Anoka County Surveyor's office in connection with a parcel of land acquired for part of the Chain of Lakes Park was presented. This will designate the parcel as 'Tract A' in place of a long and complicated legal des- cription. Mr. McLean moved to accept this land survey and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the hard shells. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously.
