294 May 13, 1974 Mr. Zelinka said that Mr. LeVessuer had talked to him about this. He felt that the post was too far to the West - that cars from his business could damage the fence by backing into it. He also felt that the possibility of using the Sport Shop driveway as an entrance to the Park could be an asset. Mr. McLean said the reasoning behind this fence was to protect this parking area. There will be two entrances into the parking area. Also, as part of the land- scaping to be done there will be small trees planted on the South side of this fence. Mr. Zelinka asked if a curb to protect this fence had been considered. Mr. McLean said there was no problem there. A curb could very easily be installed and that Mr. Backlin had planned to cover the corner post with reflective tape so that it would be easily visible. He also reminded the Council that Mr. LeVessuer has a sign that will have to be moved since it is now on Park property. Mr. Zelinka reported that a Personnel Commission meeting will be held this coming week. Other wise he had no further report. Mr. Locher had nothing more. Mr. Gotwald had checked the requests from North- western Bell Telephone for the installation of buried cable on 20th at Main Street. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the request. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. The other was a request for buried cable on 20th at 80th. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the request. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Gotwald discussed the problem on East Shadow Lake Drive where the street is settling along the curb. He felt that the guaranty had run out on that Street, but had contacted Bill Meyer of Suburban Engineering and he had sent Engineers out to inspect the problem. He made a suggestion as how this could be corrected and also that it should be done soon so as to not compound the problem. He recommended that Mr. Backlin be authorized to repair this street and he will contact Suburban Engineering for possible assistance. Mr. Gotwald also has maps of the Open Space marked on half sections. This makes computing the acreage more accurate. He was asked what the cost would be to do a complete acreage computation on these lands and thought that it would cost about $200.00 to $300.00. Mr. Kischell, of the County Surveyor's office will notify the Clerk when these parcels are acquired by the County and this way an accurate accountoof the acreage can be computed. The Engineering Contract between Carley Engineering and the City of Lino Lakes was discussed with a few changes noted by Mr. Gotwald. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the contract. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. On consideration of the requisitions, Mr. Jaworski auestioned #'s 416 & 417. Why are bills and the requistions submitted at the same time? Mr. Bohjanen said this is for the repair of the brakes on the CD truck. Mr. Cape had been asked to take the vehicle in for an estimate and had misunderstood and had the repair work done. He asked the Clerk to read a letter from Mr. Cape explaining this. Mr. Jaworski said that the work was done the same day as the last Council meeting. He felt that this work could have waited one more day for the approval of the requisition. He also reported that no one had been informed as to the location of the vehicle. He felt that the CD must realize that they are no different from
