24 5/24/71 our hopes up too high. W. Jaworski noted that there was considerable pressure to get the matter up in the special session; W. Bohjanen stated that there was pressure against it too. W. Bohjanen also noted that someone from Lino Lakes had attended all the hearings. Mr. L'Allier stated that he had had a call from Vern Plaisance who was concerned that the bill isn't dead and probably will come up in the Special session. W. Plaisance had noted that the bill would have been dead except that Mr. Albertson had put it on Special Orders, bringing it from the bottom to the top of the list, but that it had required a 2/3 vote instead of a majority; it didn't get the 2/3 vote. W. Plaisance feels that if it comes up in the special session, it will get the majority vote. There was discussion on contacting the Governor; Mr. Bohjanen noted that this was not a party matter. Mrs. Gould felt that another copy of the petition should be sent to the Governor; the Clerk was instructed to do so. There was more discussion. Mr. L'Allier noted that e bill had been passed on Saturday alloting a $250,000 appropriation plus Federal matching funds for making the B Building at the Youth Center a secure facility; however, this was the only basic bill concerning the Youth Center which had passed. Crystal noted she had seen three kids running towards the Youth Center one day with the squad car behind, which looked pretty funny. Mr. L'Allier noted that the population is way down at the Youth Center now and seems to be all over the State; no one knows why. Ordinance No. 43A. was discussed. Mr. Locher was concerned with Section 15, listing the title of jjait full -time man. After discussion it was decided to change the line to read, "Permanent full -time men shall each have the title of 'Utilities Maintenace Man'." Mr. Locher stated that he had checked the section on Holidays and found them to-correspond with State Law. Mr. L'Allier wondered what will happen when we have full -time police. W. Locher stated that they should be dealt with in a different ordinance. Section 12 was changed by adding the words, "or to police officers ". Mr. L'Allier read the heeding of the ordinance, noting that it repeals Ord. 43 on Employees. Mr. Cardinal moved to adopt Ordinance 43A and to have it published. Seconded by Mr. Jaworaki. There was discussion on Section 16 regarding PERA and Social Security, but it was decided that the phrase, "as required by State Law ", handled all situations. The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor. Mr. Locher reported on his findings of ownership of the parcels in question in Nordin Manor regarding a possible turnaround or extension of Eva Street. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize Mr. Rosengren and the Engineer to check out the maps and adjoining paroels,(#36O & Lot 12) to the West of those in the report and to decide what approach to take. Seconded by Mr. Jaworaki. Carried unanimously. The clerk was instructed to send I. Gotwald a copy of Mr. Locher's letter and map. Mr. Jaworski felt that the municipal license fee ordinance'would be ready next meeting. Mr. L'Allier asked him to contact the Clerk as to whether it should go on the agenda. The Community Profile will be taken care of later. Mr. Jaworski stated that he had taken a walk with Mr. Myhre through Centerville Park and felt strongly that we should send a letter requesting the following: 1. Allow parking on only one side of the road, preferably the lake side. 2. Add areas for parking, since the facilities are now inadequate. 3. Build some type of fireplaces.
