84 9/13/71 Mr. L'Allier noted that he had cancelled the budget meeting set for to- morrow evening since Mr. Gotwald had not completed the estimate on the number of hookups to sewer next year. Mr. Jandric had estimated that 10 homes would be ready this year with 60 homes expected next year, all these to be hooked up after the interceptor is run in. Mr. Gotwald felt that the Baldwin Lake Trailer Park will be forced to hook up next year also and that this would probably be enough to cover the MSB assessment. Mr. L'Allier noted that the Metro Council had passed Plan A but had cut the Metro Sewer Board budget which may lower our 1972 MSB assessment some. Mr. Gotwald had thought he might have a complete report the next week. The date of October 5th at 8 P.M. was tentatively set for the next budget meeting. The Clerk will check with Mr. Hill. Mr. L'Allier read the police report for August as follows: 2,750.8 miles driven, 280 home and business check, 31 assists to/by other departments, 22 complaints, 6 accidents, 4 domestics, 4 burglar alarms (all false), 4 acts of larceny, 3 stolen items recovered (2 cars, 1 bicycle), 3 escapees from the Treatment Center involving 31& 1/4 hours time, 3 legal papers served, 1 missing persons report, 2 missing persons recovered, 1 emergency message delivered and 1 aid given to a motorist. Mr. Rosengren noted that Ivan Proulx, sitting up high in the Columbus grader, had spotted a stolen motorcycle in a ditch. Mr. L'Allier reminded the members of the matter of purchasing an exhaust fan for the Council Chambers. It was felt that such was needed for a large' crowd. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have Mattson install an exhaust fan and to have Mr. Gotwald check out the size. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier stated that he would like authorization for himself and Mr. Jaworski to set up a special meeting with representatives of the Centerville Council to explore the possibility of entering into an agreement whereby we handle Centerville's policing, and that for this service the dollar amount be applied to the cost of our fire protection from Centerville. Since the cost of the fire protection will probably be more, we would pay this additional amount on an annual basis. Mr. L'Allier felt that it would be advantageous to Lino Lakes since we spend a lot of time on the East side of the Village and go through Centerville frequently. He thought that since it would eliminate duplication of ser- vices and enable two municipalities to work together it might help curtail the Metro Council efforts to solicit power towards the same end. The Anoka. County Joint Law Enforcement Assn. looked favorably on this because the Metro Council is proposing a 7- county police force and they would like to see better cooperation between the County and the municipalities rather than have a superstructure. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that Centerville has a car just purchased from the St. Paul Police Dept. which we might arrange to buy. Then if we can find someone on that side of the Village to undertake police work and keep the car there we would have more efficient policing. Mr. Myhre is compiling figures on the cost. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Jaworski and Mr. L'Allier to set up a meeting with the Centerville Council on the policing. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier reported that Mr. Gotwald had suggested setting up a special meeting with the Fiscal Agent after the bids are opened Friday to decide how to handle the sale of the bonds. After discussion it was decided to
