3/13/72 Mr. Jaworski stated that these items were to stay in the Village Hall and that we will get markers or stamps on all the equipment. Mrs. Swanson asked why we had so many bills on motor fuels and if we supplied oil. It was noted that slips from the charge cards were still coming in and that we had bulk oil in barrels. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had talked to the mechanics on this and they will use oil from the bulk containers from now on. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Jaworski what had been done on the county hours. He said nothing can be done until we find out about cutting the trees, as he feels that this is the best way of using those hours. Mr. Marier inquired about cutting the trees on Peltier; Mr. Gotwald said that the property had been sur- veyed and it is up to Mrs. Wilhelmy's attorney to contact us. Mr. Bohjanen said that Roy has soneone who will cut the wood and haul it away. Mrs. Swanson asked if we could use these men on up- grading the roads; Mr. Jaworski said Yes, but we can't do anything until the frost breaks. Mr. Marier suggested they clean the culverts. It was felt that Mr. Jaworski should contact the County right away to reserve time for these men to be used here. Mr. Marier stated that he had received a report from the Plumbing Inspector. Mr. Boyd had made 14 separate inspections; 1 job was completed. He had had some problems with 1 contractor on starting work before getting permits, but this matter had been taken care of. Mr. Marier noted that Gerald Hopkins was on the agenda but not in the audience. Mr. Hopkins had asked to move in a 2 -car garage from St. Paul, The garage had been inspected by Mr. Hill of the P&Z, Mr. Dupre, Bldg. Inspector, and Mr. Marier and found to have rafters 2 feet apart and floating joists. The concensus of the group was that it would not be advantageous to move it in and up -date it to bring it under the code; it was denied. Mr. Marier mentioned that Ralph L'Allier was in attendance. Mr. L'Allier com- mented on the Open Space Advisory Board to which he had been appointed. Of the 21 people appointed to the Board so far 2 had resigned and 4 more were then appointed; they expect to bring the total to 25 members. Ralph stated that his views on metro parks had not changed; he is still opposed to Metro government and to a Metro Board governing park plans. Apparently only 2 of the Board mem- bers are opposed to metro parks whereas the rest are advocates. They will meet with HUD officials tomorrow to see if the Metro area qualifies for Federal money. Ralph said he wants answers to the question of why can't we preserve our wet- lands by way of local ordinances and why shouldn't HUD give us the money to develop this ourselves. He feels that Lino Lakes as a community should come up with our plans and give them to the Board. Mr. Bohjanen asked if they would want a land use plan to look at for our area; Mr. L'Allier thought they would, and would hope it would help to accomplish this if we don't allow building per- mits in low and lakeshore areas. Mrs. Swanson stated she was surprised that after fighting Metro he was involved with them; she felt he might find himself brainwashed so that he will accpet their ideas. Mr. L'Allier had explained his position and asked her if she had spent any time talking with the Metro people. Mrs. Swanson said No, that she didn't want to, that since being on the Board she had talked to several persons and had a report on some $3 million being allocated, that they are getting paid for this work; seven on the Advisory Board had quit. The Park Board had quit. Ralph noted that some had been reappointed. There was considerable discussion with Ralph stating that he hoped to have some influence in their decisions by being on the Board. He asked if she didn't want Anoka County to have any representation on the Board. He will try to keep the Park board like it is with no power. Mr. Marier had attended a meeting of the Advisory Board and had 1 1 1
