250 February 13, 1974 The Lino Lakes Special Council Meeting on February 13, 1974 at 8:05 p.m. was called to order by Mayor Bohjanen. Councilmen present; Marier, McLean and Jaworski. Absent; Mr. Zelinka. Mr. Locher was also present. The Deputy Clerk reported that she had called Robert Burman in reference to the Open Space meeting scheduled Feb. 27, 1974. She had been told the meeting was candled because of unavoidable absense of two of the Commissioners. The rescheduling of the meeting would be March 4, 5, or 6, 1974 depending on the Councils choice.

RESOLUTION The City does stress that it does take a passive position as to the proposed County taking -- ie. if the County does go ahead to take all of the lands they have proposed to take for the park, the City does not consent or back the County action, but due to the provisions of Chapter 209, Laws, 1961, the City will not actievely oppose the County -- if the County otherwise agrees to the City Resolution.
