1/27/72 16 5 Jaworski. Mr. Locher answered several questions on the proceedings of the bond sale. Mr. Marier asked if Metro had yet made a commitment; Mr. Locher noted that they had authorized construction to the Village of Centerville, that they are committed on paper only. He noted that the delay in Metro approval had resulted in the second bid on the lateral system coming in some $60,000 higher than the first bid. Mr. Cardinal noted that this bid was still lower than the second lowest bid on the first bidding. Mr. Marier felt that we have money invested in a dead horse, so to speak, with no commitment as to what the Metro Sewer Board is going to do, and if they don't come through with it, then what happens? W. Locher stated that Jandric is going to have to continue to pump and haul. Mr. Marier, wondered if Jandric could hold us liable for this. Mr. Locher didn't see how he could; he mentioned some of the history on the sewage project. Mr. Marier asked if anyone had any idea what the total bill on the interceptor would be. He thought it would be $4 million for the Lino Lakes portion of the interceptor. Mr. Jaworski thought that $4 million was the cost of the whole line to Centerville and our cost wouldn't be that much. Mr. Bohjanen agreed. The Clerk was asked to get copies of the Engineer's projected cost estimate on the interceptor for the new Council members. Mr. Marier felt that the people of Lino Lakes should be able to get some knowledge of what this sewer will cost them along with other details. Mr. Bohjanen thought that the Engineer should be able to furnish us with the total cost of the interceptor by the next meeting - -a preliminary estimate. Mr. Marier also wanted the figures on what has been spent so far on the interceptor. The vote on the above motion to amend the minutes: Aye -- Cardinal, Jaworski & Swanson; No- Marier & Bohjanen, who wanted to wait until clarification on the cost of the sewer interceptor is received. Motion carried. The Clerk was dir- ected to write to the Engineer to obtain the figures by the next meeting. The scheduled hearing on the Forrest Tagg rezoning request was called to order at 9 :44 p.m. Mr. Locher read the pertaining portion of the January 19th P&Z minutes. The hearing had been continued since the necessary items had, not yet been received. Mr. Marier moved to lay over the Tagg rezoning hearing until February 28th. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Locher was given per- mission to step from the room to answer questions from the Methodist minister concerning the proposed easement for Mr. Tagg. The hearing was adjourned at 9 :51 p.m. The Clerk requested authorization to add to the minutes of the October 27, 1971 meeting a lengthy resolution pertaining to the sale of the $550,000 bonds; she stated that a copy would be attaehed to permanent record book. Mr. Cardinal moved to add this resolution to the record book. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. The Clerk stated that an error had been made in the designation on the sign permit for Brede, Inc. which had been questioned as to access. The permit was numbered in past minutes as D1 but should have been #20. She had advised Brede of the error. Since sign permit #20 comes up for renewal again in April, she wondered if the Council wished to cancel that permit or wait for renewal. A letter from Paul Videen guaranteed helicoptor service for inspection of the sign. It was noted that the sign location is zoned residential, but since the permit was granted before May 22, 1971, there was no need to rezone to commer- cial. However, the sign code does require access to all signs. It was agreed that any action would be held off until the sign comes up for renewal at which time Mr. Marier would put it before the P&Z. Mr. Marier noted that the P&Z had requested a list of signs which had been issued since May 22, 1971; the Clerk will make a list of the freeway signs since granted. She noted receiving a letter from the State requesting a zoning map for use in connection with con-
