February 25, 1974 Mayor Bohjanen reported that he had been informed by Chief Myhre that Mr. Gary Dold will be resigning from the Police Department. He has been hired for duty with the County Sheriff's Department in a full time position. Mayor Bohjanen requested that the Personnel Commission call a meeting and have a recommendation for his replace- ment by the next Council meeting on March 11, 1974. Mr. Marier asked how long Mr. Dold had been with the Police Department. Chief Myhre said, one year. Mr. McLean asked if the part time men with the Police Department have any sort of formal training. Chief Myhre said, No, just on the job training. Mayor Bohjanen read a letter from Sheriff Talbot's Office commending Mr. Sal Costa for his assistance in the apprehension and arrest of a person sought by the County. Mayor Bohjanen presented a pasted up copy of the Information Guide. The phone numbers have been checked and rechecked. He requested that this be sent to the printer's and get copies made up immediately. Mr. Marier moved to send samples to Anoka County Union, Forest Lake Times and the Circulating Pines and ask for bids. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Locher read the letter from Mr. Busch in regards to the $50,000.00. Mr. Locher said the Council could take this to court but he would recommend that the Council defer this action until the County Commissioners come in with an award on the condemned lands. Mr. Locher returned to the motion levying a fee for the storage of namable liquids. He asked if this would include gasoline stations? The Ordinance allows the maximum of 10,000 gallons. If the increment of $5.00 per 500 gallons is used for these stations, the fee would be prohibitive. The intent of the fee is to make these areas available for inspection and the Council felt that gasoline stations should not be excluded. Mr. Jaworski suggested a maximum fee of $25.00. Mayor Bohjanen suggested that the fee could be based on the number of pumps, not the capacity. Mr. Jaworski felt that the capacity was a valuable piece of information for the ,fuel coordinator. This would inform him of where there is fuel in cases of emergency. Mr. Jaworski moved to amend the motion to limit the fee to a maximum of $25.00. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Under old business, Mr. Jaworski asked if the salaries were going to be considered at this meeting. Mayor Bohjanen said that he would prefer to table this until Mr. Zelinka could be present. Mr. Jaworski moved to table the discussion on salaries until the meeting of March 11, 1974. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. The Clerk requested permission to be absent from the office March 5, 6 & 7, to attend a seminar on Community Education to be held in Flint, Michigan. This is in connection with the Advisory Board of District 12. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the request. Seconded by Mr. mcLean. On the roll call vote; Mr. Jaworski, Aye; Mr. Marier, No; Mr. McLean, Aye; Mayor Bohjanen, Aye. Motion carried. There was discussion on requisition number 387 - the number of meters was cut 6.
