3/6/72 the tax roils. The assessments dbuld be paid by those benefiting directly. We are premature on all this - we must think of the tax payer first. The problem of knowing how, :many homes will be built in the future was discussed. Jandric really isn't building too fast right now and they don't let us know how many potential townhouses they plan. Mr. Gotwald felt that he and Mr. Locher should meet with the Sewer Board first to delay the 1971 bill and part of the 1972 charges, and then come up with a feasability study. Mr. Locher said he is going to draft a letter tomorrow to get on the Metro's agenda. It takes some time to do this. Also, he will write Jandric and Glenn Rehbein to ascertain what their projected building plans are for the next 5 to 7 years respectively. After long discussion Mr. Bohjanen stated that we need a workable formula in order to assess the benefited property owners and that we should settle on some policy but for the time being; delay - not defer. Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 10:55. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously. Minutes approved at the meeting of March 27, 1972 Joan Heath, Deputy -Clerk 3/13/72 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on March 13, 1972 was called to order by Mayor Bohjanen with all members present as well as Attorney Locher and Engineer Gotwald. Clerk - Treasurer June Emerton took notes. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the minutes of the February 28, 1972 meeting as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Dan Heimer, member of the Board of Directors of the Northwest Saddle Club, presented the Club's case for keeping the trailer home on the premises. He stated that the new Board of Directors would meet the following evening to make a decision on whether to build a caretaker's home or to enlarge the exist- ing building to include such facilities, or some other alternative. Mr. Heimer stated that having a caretaker present had eliminated the vandalism. It was decided that we would give the Northwest Saddle Club two weeks to send us a letter on their intentions, and if they wanted to keep the trailer to give us some assurance that there would be some construction within 90 days. The hearing for S. Wilson was set for 8:15 p.m., but no one from the Riding Stable was present. The Clerk noted that they had not picked up her letter from the Hugo post office and it had been returned. It was decided to leave the matter open during the meeting until they might arrive. Wally Hill was asked to give a report on the 1971 audit. Mr. Hill noted that the report gets bigger each year and that none of the Funds had ended up in the red. He touched on several aspects of the report and answered questions. He recommended that the Village should require the Bank Depository to give us additional collateral to cover the amount of money we expect to handle during the year, particularly when receiving bond sale monies; this doesn't cost either the bank or us anything. Mr. Locher noted that we should perhaps insure our municipal building for a larger amount than the $100,000 now in force since the cost of rebuilding it would be higher. Mr. Gotwald suggested that we contact VOttssap,Construction to see how much more it would cost to build it today, and
