1 1 December 26, 1972. 79 The P &Z also had a request from Mr. Meyers of Surburban Engineering as to the time table for the final approval of U. S. Lakes Add. #3. The general feeling was that Mr. Meyers had been through this process with the other plats and he should know the procedure. The P & Z Board also did some work on the Comprehensive Zoning Plan. They agreed to watch the agendas for the future and allow enough time at each P & Z meeting to work on this plan. Their target date for completion is around the end of March. Mr. Marier also reported on the Open Space meeting. This was more or less an exchange of information between the County and the Commission. There will be another meeting on Jan. II, 1973, Mr. Steffen will attend this meeting. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if he had studied the Minnesota Statute 398.32, sub - paragraph I. Mr. Locher said he had and he had copies for all Council members. The law states that the County cannot take land for parks without a Resolution from the Local government approving the taking of the lands. Mr. Locher said the law is quite explicit. He had also checked for any decisions in connection with this law but found none. Mr. Locher had prepared the amendment to Ord. #43D dealing with employees. Mr. Bohjanen suggested tabling this until the next meeting so all members have a chance to study it. Mr. Locher also read the law concerning the sel l ing of Liquor on Sunday. Mr. Bohjanen had some inquiries since this Sunday is New Year's Eve. The law states that no liquor may be sold after 12:00 P. M.

Mr. Marier moved to amend the Sewer Ordinance to include the hook -up fees of $500.00. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. CArried. Mr. Locher will prepare and arrange for publication.

Mr. Marier asked if the wire for the remote read -out unit could be installed at the time of construction thus avoiding the necessity of going through walls that are already finished. The consensus of the Council was that this is the way it should be done and could foresee no problem. Mr. Cardinal suggested hiring a plumber to assist Mr. Backlin in\installing the water meters as to have them in by the first of the year. Mr. Bohjanen asked the Clerk to have Mr. Backlin call him tomorrow. Also to ask if the Meter Company could offer some assistance. The Council asked Mr. Locher to amend the Water Ordinance to include the installation of the wiring for the remote read -out unit.

It was general discussion on the needs of both units, the changes that may be necessary or desired. He also requested a monthly meeting along these lines. Mr. Johneson would like a Voluntary Coordinating Commission established, such as the one we had a few years ago. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Johnson commending the people in the community who take the time to report any infractions they may notice. These things are very much apprecitated. by the Administration at the Center. Mr. Bohjanen reported on the truck and tanker that the Forest Lake School District has for sale. If the bid is over $5000.00 then we must advertise for bids. We must have two bids in writing and they must be kept on file for one year.
