Absent; Mayor Karth, Kulaszewicz. Mr. Locher was also present. The minutes of the November meeting cannot be approved due to a lack of a quorum present from that meeting. These minutes will be considered at the December 26, 1978 meeting. The Clerk presented the following items for Council consideration: ..A letter from Mrs. Tufts in answer to the Clerk's letter on the possi- bility of changing the name of 7th Avenue, The Council asked that copies of this be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission. ..An inquiry from the League of Minnesota Cities as to the status of this City's interest in a Group Health Plan.. The general consensus of the Council was that the current plan is adequate. However, in the matter of liability insurance. a questionaire had been received akding for certain information. Mr. Schneider requested permission to release this information. Mr. McLean moved to authorize the release of the necessary information requested on the League of Minnesota Cities' questionaire. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. MOtion declared passed. ..State Aid for the Police Department in the amount of $5,599.39 had been received. ..A letter from NSP setting forth the mew rates as granted by the Minn- esota Public Service Commission. These new rates will result in a refund. ..The MSB charges were discussed. Mr. Gotwald had contacted Mr. Payne and had found that Board had assumed the connection of the Baldwin Lake Trailer Court. Since there is no connection from that Court, the figure will be adjusted. Mr. McLean moved to instruct the Clerk to write to the MWCC with the City's objections to the current monthly charges. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion declared passed. ..Mr. Paul Ruud, Anoka County Engineer for the Highway Department. had written in answer to the City's request for a street light at the inter- section of County Road #14 and County Road #84 stating that thelight is theresponsibility of the local community. The Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Ruud stressing the safety factor due to road construction and that very few, if any, local residents would-be benefitted by the installation. Mr McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion declared passed. .. Mr. Gotwald had written a letter on the petition for water, sewer, streets, curbs, gutters and storm sewers in the Lakes Addition plats. Mr. Gotwald has computed the assessable frontage at 8120 feet - the petition represents 3841 feet, which is 46% of the total. Mr. Gotwald said that since the total system had been designed at the time of the orginal installation, a feasibility report should be about $200.00. Mr. McLean was unsure as to whether the unplatted lands had been included in any of the above footage. This matter is to be cleared with Mr. Gotwald and discussed at the December 26, 1978 meeting. ..The Clerk read a letter from the Citizen's League of Baltimore in re- gards to the Tax Base Sharing Program now in operation in the State of Minnesota. It seems this method is being considered for that City and they are seeking information as to the acceptance of this by the local communities of this State. There are many questions that the Clerk felt she did not have enough knowledge of the method to answer. The Council suggested that the League of Minnesota Cities be contacted on this and perhaps they could answer the questions. ..The fire report from the Lexington Fire Department is on file in the office in any one wants to look at it.
