4/24/72 249 Mr. Jaworski had noticed there was a discussion on Orange and Maple Streets at the last meeting, and asked Mr. Locher if there had been any further contact on this. Mr. Locher said that a Mrs. Paulson was to contact the residents, but he had heard nothing from her. Mr. Jaworski offered to contact the residents if it was okay with the Council so that maybe we can settle the question of making Orange and Maple Village roads, get the necessary work done, and put the cross street in. Mr. Jaworski felt he would have Mr. Gotwald give us a new estimate on Peltier Drive since he didn't know if the old figure would hold up; he would like to give Peltier priority and get it done. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Jaworski if he had done anything on Holly Drive; Mr. Jaworski had not. Mr. Marier said he had contacted the people on Holly yesterday, and reported that one of the problems brought to his attention was being wakened in the middle of the night to help someone who had gotten stuck. He asked that the Council bring Holly Drive to a head, and noted that Mr. Grygelko had changed his mind since the town hall meeting and would now like to see the road go through. Mr. Grygelko had also said that the Village had put in 2 culverts in the last 2 years and put gravel on the road. Mr. Jaworski said the Village didn't put any culverts on Holly, and noted that the existing road doesn't follow the easement. After more discussion, Mr. Marier suggested that Mr. Jaworski get in touch with the people as to where to go on this and to get cost estimates to satisfy the situation. Mr. Jaworski asked if this meant he and Roy should meet with them. Mr. Marier said Yes, and asked him to have a report ready for the next meeting. Mr. Jaworski noted he should come up with a list of roads to up -grade and thus eliminate from maintenance. He asked if we had sent a letter to Hugo on maintaining part of 24th Avenue. The Clerk didn't recall sending the letter; he suggested it be sent. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he, Mr. Marier and Mrs. Swanson had met with the Columbus Town Board and the road supervisors from both municipalities on Pine St. the previous Saturday. They had discussed putting on gravel, grading it and fixing one culvert. They had felt that a border street should be maintained on a 50 -50 basis. Columbus was in accord to sign an agreement on this, and that the total maintenance costs on Pine Street would be kept separate. Mr. Marier moved that we send a letter to Columbus Township stating that Lino Lakes is agreeable that the cost of total maintenance on Pine Street be equally divided on a 50 -50 basis by Lino Lakes and Columbus, and that all members of the Council sign the letter. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Bohjanen if the County wasn't going to take over Pine Street. Mr. Bohjanen said No, that he had talked to Commissioner Burman who said that they might take over Pine from Old 8 to 4th Avenue and then down 4th, but they won't take over a dead -end road. Mrs. Swanson asked if we were going to include in the Columbus letter what work will be done on Pine St. Mr. Bohjanen said No, that that will be figured out by the supervisors. Mr. Jaworski stated that Columbus still wants $17 per hour for the grader. He asked Mr. Locher if it was Lino Lakes' responsibility, if we think the cost increase is too high, to take the matter to the pay board. Mr. Locher asked how much the raise was, and was told $2 per hour. After more discussion, Mr. Marier moved, on Mr. Jaworski's suggestion, to go with the $17 per hour charge for grader work from Columbus Township. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Marier noted that a guest from Forest Lake was in attendance. Gordy Anderson stated that he had been asked by Forest Lake Mayor Jim Gessell to appear, and to ask Lino Lakes to volunteer a representative to meet with other local representatives as well as those from District 831 School Board on the possibility of hiring a recreation
