5/8/72 G�e we don't have the date yet that the matter will go to the Metro Council, but they will send a letter. Mr. Jaworski asked if MSB had indicated when they would start the engineering study. Mr. Bohjanen and Mr. Marier both thought that it would take about 3 months. Mr. Gotwald stated that the MSB engineer has started, and is working, on the study. The final report should come within 4 months of the original date. Mr. Bohjanen reported that the Police Dept. has been stopping in various places where there are junk cars and excess junk. He recommended that we make May the regular designated month for cleanup, and after June 1st we will tag excess junk or junk cars and ask that they be removed. This was discussed with it being decided that flyers would be distributed by the Police, CD and other organizations such as the Boy Scouts. Mr. Jaworski moved to declare May as Lino Lakes Clean -Up Month, and that after June 1st we will tag junk cars. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Mrs. Swanson asked what happens if you tag one and they don't remove it' she was advised that there would be a warning ticket, then a tag and going to court. Motion carried. Mr. Bohjanen noted that Saturday, May 13th, is National Buddy Poppy Day for the area, and that the Lino Lakes VFW Auxiliary members will be selling poppies in the Village with all proceeds going to Vets and their families. Mr. Bohjanen then declared May 13th as Poppy Day in Lino Lakes for 1972. Council members had received no volunteers to serve on the Rice Creek Watershed Advisory Board Mr. Cardinal said that the Board of Managers had received the names of Glenn Rehbein, John McLean and Art Hawkins as volunteers. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Cardinal if he had asked these men to serve; he said No, that it would be a conflict of interest. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Rehbein how he had heard about the Advisory Board; Glenn said he has been coming to the meetings, and that he was quite interested since the Watershed involved quite a bit of his land. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved that we have Mr. Cardinal report back to the Council on the outcome of the Watershed meetings, and to send a letter to the volunteers that they may participate if they want to. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. Jaworski asked how many advisors there would be; Mr. Cardinal didn't know, but said they had 61 names so far and they won't turn anyone down' however, some drop out when they find out there is work involved. Mrs. Swanson asked what is the pertinence of the Advisory Board; Mr. Cardinal said that the Board of Managers was still getting organized, have adopted by -laws, and setting up rules, and regulations which have not been adopted yet. They are pushing for an advisory board so they can get an overall plan started. Mrs. Swanson asked about the canoe trip scheduled to see how far they could go on the open waterways. Mr. Cardinal said that the trip had been set for last Saturday, but it was bad so they didn't go; it will be set up again. Vote on the motion carried with Mr. Cardinal abstaining. Mrs. Leibel asked what date was set for the Watershed Board to meet with Centerville. Mr. Cardinal said there was none set to meet with the Council that he knew of. Elmer LaMere came forward to show pictures of a small building and manure which he had taken out of his window, stating that the building had been moved in by Bill Houle without a permit, that he had asked him to move it but he won't, and that the building is on his (LaMere's) land. There was considerable discussion, with Mr. LaMere stating that the person occupying the building was Paul Buckby, a hippy -type with long hair, who is there most of the time, and that Buckby's horses run on his (LaMere's) land instead of their owner's 60 acres. Mr. Locher advised that Ord. #30 requires a permit to move any building over Village streets, that Mr. LaMere should survey his property
