199 3/13/72 questioned Sam Morgan. He had talked to Mr. Herring who made no mention of a completed plan and that they had no commitments on this. He feels that if we have a good stand, then we will be able to come to some agreement. Mrs. Swanson felt that if they were going to do anything for the Metro area the Metro Council should all meet in 1 place and all seven counties should appear at 1 time; they should have 1 meeting per month and save some expense. It was noted we will still have to work with them for what we want so that all the Counties can put their ideas together. Mrs. Swanson asked for action on a resolution similar to the suggested one for Columbia Heights concerning control over total land use power. Mr. Marier moved to adopt the following resolution: RESOLUTION #9 WHEREAS the citizens of Lino Lakes are more informed in their knowledge of their village than anyone else, and therefore, are the best judges of the proper and most profitable use of its land and resources in the general wel- fare, and WHEREAS the right to property guaranteed our citizens under the U.S. Consti- tution extends to include the right to reasonably exercise control over that property and to protect its value, and WHEREAS Home -Rule city and village government, being closest to and within closest reach of the individual citizen, is most responsive to that citizen in the exercise of his property rights, and WHEREAS certain metropolitan officials have announced their intention to seek from the Minnesota Legislature, for the Metropolitan Council, TOTAL LAND USE CONTROL in the seven- county Metropolitan area, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Council of the Village of Lino Lakes will stoutly and regularly oppose the extension of its land use power to the Metropolitan Council, or any other alarge governmental unit, both before the Legislature and the Courts, and that Governor Anderson, State Senator Thorp, Representative Plaisance, Metro Councilman Kozlak, and all other members of the Metro Council are hereby memorialized that such is our intent. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jaworski. The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor. Mr. Bohjanen wished it to be noted in the minutes that the resolu- tion will be sent to all persons listed in the resolution. Mrs. Swanson reported that the Personnel Commission had discussed various forms and codes. They wanted unit members on all equipment and wished that all items be assigned to a certain department. There had been some question as to who was to authorize the requisition slips. Council felt that all requisition slips for usual items should go before the Council first before purchase orders are written. Mrs. Swanson said the Commission had talked about field orders under a certain limit - these would have to have a requisition slip within 24 hours. The Council agreed that the requisition slips would be made up on the mimeo- graph and wished Mrs. Swanson to get two estimates at least on purchase orders. Mr. Marier moved to purchase interlocking paper board stencils at $5.49 for marking the equipment, along with a brush and paint, for about $9 total. Sec - onded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.
