The same letter had been sent .to the mayors of Centerville Forest Lake, Forest Lake Township, Columbus Township, Hugo, Oneka Township, Blaine, Circle Pines, and Lexington. Mr. Jaworski stated that he bad not finished his motion and wished to add the following: Per the Perk Reserve Board letter of April 1, 1971, we request that the Park Reserve Board take no official action to establish a park reserve at Lino Lakes, but rather allow Lino Lakes and Anoka - County to develop plans and ordinances to protect pertain marshes, wetlands and lands abutting meandered lakes and water ways. We also reiterate our vigorous objections to Senate File 1237 and House File 1678 and especially those parts which give the Park Reserve Board the powers of eminent domain and taxation and, as an alternative, favor allowing the counties and their municipalities to preserve the lands within their boundaries.
