July 9, 1973 General's office, members of a council calling a meeting without proper notice are subject to a $100 fine and any village resident can institute such charges against officials. I think we should be cautious about having meetings in the future without proper notice." Mr. Bohjanen - "I have already talked to the attorney about this, I felt that we owed the man at least an explanation, that was why we called the meeting." Mr. Jaworski - "About a week before this, there was something from the Attorney General's office, something to the effect that emergency meetings must be defined." Mr. Locher - "This is a very muddy area, also "adequate notice" needs some clarification." Mr. Jaworski - "Just thought I would bring this up because I don't think any of us have $100 to spare for that sort of thing." Mr. Locher - "The meeting called did comply with your ordinance, then it becomes a question of whether the State has the right to usurp Council's opinion. I know of no new opinions since last year, but will be glad to check on it." MR. MARIER REPORT P& Z did not have a meeting prior to this one. We will probably meet next week. I did attend an Open Space meeting with Torgelson and also Open Space committee of Lino Lakes. Our resolution that we had written up from the committee to Anoka, and when it was rewritten. The way the resolution was rewritten'meant nothing and we asked they review again our resolution as it stands. The question also came up whether guidelines set by Lino Lakes Open Space Committee and the County were being followed. There seemed to be some question about Chomonix Golf Course. It was Mr. Torkildson 's opinion that Anoka would like to buy this but would not unless Lino Lakes was interested in taking it over and think at this time it would be quite costly, and take away too much area from the development. He had talked to several people in Lino Lakes about being interested and I guess it was their feeling there was some interest in this. As a councilman I am not aware of this, and I told him so, so we sent him back to bring up to the two committees our proposal and agreement and guidelines and to report back. We are not going to deviate anymore. I think a council letter with the mayor's signature should be sent to the Park Board, we would like to have them negotiate with us in good faith, review our proposal and also our resalution. I would like to make this a motion. Mr. Cardinal - "I'll second. Motion carried. Mr. Marier - "I would also like to thank the mayor for my invitation to the flag raising. I got mine on the 6th of July." Mr. Bohjanen - "They were all put in the boxes at the same time."
