1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />53 <br />10 =24 =72 <br />plans for the property at the junction of County Rd. 14 and 135E. They will <br />be constructing a truck stop and a resturant in the Spring. The Council <br />requested the Clerk to get this in writing. <br />10. The subject of the lots up for tax forfeit in the Lexington Park area was <br />discussed. No one had time to look at them and therefore the matter was <br />tabled until the next meeting. Mr. Marier so moved. Mr. Cardinal seconded. <br />Motion carried. <br />Mr. Cardinal reported that there was no Park Board meeting, one member had been present <br />and there was some discussion on an inexpensive shelter for the Baldwin Lake area but <br />nothing definite. He also thought that there was a misunderstanding as to the desires <br />of the Rice Creek Watershed. They did not want to see the plats before the local P &Z <br />Boards and the Councils. The Watershed District should be the last one to receive the <br />plats and they are only interested in the one that would affect the water, not all plats. <br />There is still quite a lot of concern about the plane in Marsham Lake. The Clerk said <br />she would find out who owns it and what their plans on removing it are. <br />Mr. Bohjanen read a note from Mr. Backlin that I n order to remove the stumps on Peltier <br />Lake Drive, he will need a bull dozer and heavy loading equipment as our equipment is <br />inadequate to handle these bigger stumps. <br />Mr. Marier said there had been no progress for three weeks and he would like to see this <br />get done as the school bus has a problem getting through this street in the winter. <br />Mr. Zelinka asked if the stumps could be burned. There was discussion on the solution. <br />Mr. Zelinka moved to have Mr. Backlin get two bids in writing on the cost of removing <br />the stumps and widening the road. He is then to take the lowest bid and proceed. It <br />was also suggested that a performance bond be posted. Mr. Marier Seconded. Motion <br />carried. <br />Mr. Jerry Young appeared before the Council on behalf of the Anoka County Library to <br />expalin about the problems of the brance library located on Lexington Avenue. Mr. <br />Young said that support for the branch had come from the Centennial Shool district in <br />the past, but because of the cut -back in spending on the part of the District, they <br />could no longer support the project. They are asking that each Village assume a portion <br />of the cost to maintain the Branch Library in that location until the Anoka County <br />Library Board can build a permanent structure to house the Branch Library. Mr. Jack <br />Oman and Mr. Ed Bloomstrand were also present. <br />Mr. Bohjanen asked if there was room in the Lovell School to house the Library. <br />Mr. Oman said, Yes, and that the space had been offered to them, but they have found <br />that by housing a library in a school it loses its effectivness. People some how do <br />not use the Library then. <br />Mr. Zelinka asked how long this arrangement would be necessary. <br />Mr. Young said there are now plans in the making for a permanent home for the Branch <br />Library and probably would need help for the next couple of years. <br />Mr. Zelinka said the Council could certainly consider this. <br />MR. Oman said the Board would appreciate an indication of support which would not be <br />considered as a firm commitment. <br />The Council indicated that they would support their plan and that their feelings are <br />in keeping with what the Library is trying to do. They would request that the Library <br />Board present the Council with a firm figure as to their portion of the cost. <br />
