226 December 10, 1973 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council was called to order at 8:00 P.M. on December 10, 1973 by Mayor Bohjanen. Councilmen present; Cardinal, Jaworski, Marier. Absent; Zelinka. Mr. Locher and Mr. Gotwald were also present. Mr. Marier moved to approve the minutes of November 26, 1973 as written. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. The Clerk read a letter from the Forest Lake School District announcing that Lino Lakes had been officially accepted into that District's Community Education Program; reported that we have received the second half of the tax levy in the amount of $39,909.34; Read a letter received from David Torkildson in reference to the requested meeting with the Anoka County Commissioners. The letter asked the purpose of the meeting and Mr. Marier felt that the purpose of Certifying the Resolution and securing the boundaries of the Open Space were made quite clear. He felt that a second letter should be written restating these reasons. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if there was any way we could place an in- junction against the County until these boundaries are established. Mr. Locher felt that since under the law, the permission of the Council is not required for the acquisition of land by the County, . it was doubtful if this could be accomplished. He thought that the Resolution could be established without the Exhibit "A" being finalized. Mr. Marier questioned the Legality of acquiring land for a regional park. He thought that this law was for the acquisition of land for a local park. Mr. Marier moved to have Mr. Locher write to the Board of Commissioners requesting that they meet with the Council at their earlest convience and that the acquisition of land be ceased until they have met with the Village Council. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unaminously. Mr. Marier requested Mr. Locher to check into this law and see what rights the Village has as to the County acquiring land for a regional park. Mr. Bohjanen reported that the Police Department had reported there is a parking problem at the 49 Club. Cars are parked so close to the corners that it is im- possible to see at that intersection. He requested the Clerk to write to the State and request "No Parking" signs at that intersection from 30 to 60 feet from the corner. He also had received a request from the State Department asking that we appoint a fuel cordinator. The State Department had suggested that the Civil Defense Director be appointed to this position. The Department needs to know how much fuel is available at the local level and the coordinator is asked to draw up a fuel allocation plan, especially for new residents who have no supplier. Mayor Bohjanen said he would ask the Civil Defense Director to start on such a program. If staff is needed, we will work from there. He had also received a letter on the Flood Plan Insurance. This discussion was deferred until Mr. Locher returned to the meeting.
