SEconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. III On the matter of the Anoka County Association of Municipalities, the general consensus was that since the Village is already a member of the Minnesota Municipalities, they felt that this would be a dupliation of activities and we should wait and see what the activities of this organization will be. Mr. Jaworski so moved. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. The Clerk reported on the request for a turn - around through the Lexington Park Lakeview area from the Metro Transit System who will be taking over the Dickenson Lines around the 1st of February. There was a question as to the advisability of allowing vehicles of the weight of these buses to use the streets in that area. The Council generally felt that those streets are not constructed so as to be able to stand under that sort of usage. Mr.' Jaworski suggested tabling this matter until we have more information. Mr. Al Ross suggested the route of Sunset to Elm Street to 0Id Highway #8 to North Road thus serving more people in the area and using streets that will stand up under the traffic. Mr. Marier moved to write a letter to the Metro Transit suggesting the above route and informaing them of our concern for the streets in the Lexington Park Lakeview area. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Carried. The Clerk read a letter from the State Highway Department on the light at the intersection of Old Highway #8 and #49. The Highway Department does not maintain any lights except those on freeways. Much discussion followed. The light that is presently located \here the old cutoff was belongs to the Village. It was suggested that we contact NSP about moving that I i ght. Mr. Marier moved to have the clerk write to the highway department informing them of the accident rate on that intersection since the change. Ask them for detailed plans as to what they plan for the Spring in order to move the light there now III to a more useful) position without having to move it again when the department re -does that intersection. Mr. Marier also suggested sending a copy of the letter to the State Highway Patrol. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Also that we should contact NSP engineers for help in relocating the present light. Reported that we have received the second half of the Federal Revenue Sharing in the amount of $9,585.,00 and read the accompanying letter explaining the differences from the first half payment.
