3/13/72 Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher if he had finished the questionnaire on legal costs; he said No. Mr. Bohjanen stated that in conjunction with the letter sent to the MSB, the Village Engineer, Planner, Attorney and himself would go down for the hearing and another Board members who wished to attend. Mr. Locher had represented us in the gas case regarding Circle Pines Utilities servicing Molin Concrete; Mr. Bohjanen had attended also. Judge Bakke had taken the case under advisement and will render a decision later. Mr. Locher stated that he had talked with Glenn Rehbein about his 5 -year plans; he has a call into Mr. Busch about what Jandric is going to do. 201 Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Locher if Richard Roberts wasn't supposed to get the number of hogs down to 50. This was discussed; Mr. Locher felt that Mr. Roberts was testing the market before selling. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mrs. Swanson if she had received any complaints; she stated that she hadn't but this wasn't the point, that the man had not complied with the stipulations. Mr. Bohjanen said that he had called all the people around Mr. Robert's farm and none had any complaints. Mr. Jaworski noted that the feeding of garbage had been the main problem. Mr. Cardinal thought that some of the pigs might be slow gainers. Following discussion, the Clerk was instructed to look up the minutes from November on Mr. Roberts' hearing, and to write to Mr. Roberts asking him to report to the Council at the first meeting in April. Mr. Gotwald had no report. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher if he had seen any- thing that all burning outside in Minnesota must cease by July 1st. Mr. Locher hadn't heard anything about this or any more on our PCA variance request. Mr. Bohjanen had attended the Metro Sewer Board advisory meeting in Blaine. They will have another meeting to get reports from individuals and what are and what aren't metro benefits. There was some dispute over the draft of the bill, and that the bills in the metro area are not comprehensive. Mr. Bohjanen felt we should see if the lake chain could be a metro benefit. We should see what kind of rates they are going to charge and if they will have a metro hookup charge; they can't call it a hookup charge, but a charge will be made. It makes you wonder how we will be billed for this. If anyone has ideas they can submit them for consideration. Mr. Bohjanen had attended a weed conference in Anoke; he will give the materials to Mr. Ellingsen. Mr. Bohjanen had gotten materials on the State Fire School to be held on April 24 -27th at the Nicollet Hotel. He felt that the Fire Mar- shal should attend portions of this school pertaining to the use of various equipment and that he should be reimbursed for work time lost. There was some discussion. Mr. Livingston will decide which session of the school to attend and report back. Mr. Bohjanen had gotten a letter from Anoka County Council of Economic Oppor- tunity on the Neighborhood Youth Corps program hiring high - school students from low - income families at $1.65 per hour to help such persons to stay in school. Mayors are to help plan this. He asked the Clerk to make copies for the Per- sonnel Commission. He had received verified census figures showing our 1970 census population to be 3692 in 782 living units for an average of 4.44 persons per living unit. The State average is 2.98 persons per unit. Mr. Bohjanen had received a late request from the County Agricultural Extension Bureau to determine the number of dead trees in the community; these can be re- cycled. He wondered who would make the count. Mr. Bohjanen noted that he and Mr. Locher had been in court all day Friday on the gas cage; he hoped that we would get it settled soon.
