22 February 9, 1976 Mr. Karth asked, in the event the Union forces this matter to arbitra- tion, what kind of costs is the City looking at? He was told the costs are shared equally by the City and the Union. Mr. Locher reiterated that it is not the lack of desire on the part of the City to pay, just a simple lack of funds. The demands can only be met by cutting services in other areas. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Schneider if he knew the end of the scheduled hockey season? Mr. Schneider thought around the end of February. Mr. McLean said last year the hockey rinks were not kept up after the hockey season ended. Mr.. Locher apologized for the Hansen Road mixup and said he cannot find the documents nor his notes. There is also a portion from the service road to the Hansen Road that must be accepted. This he must obtain a legal discription from the County for. Mr. Roland Anderson, Anoka County Surveyor, was scheduled for this meet- ing but did not appear. Mr. Locher said Mr. Anderson had been ill, but he will check and possibly Mr. Anderson will want to attend the next Council meeting. There was discussion of the Land Use Bill now being considered in the State Legislature. Mr. Schneider asked if the City had made a statement as to the City's position on this bill? Mr. McLean said a position paper had been presented last year - all members of the House and Senate as well as all communities in the seven county area had received a copy of the position paper. Mr. Karth reported that a group of private citizens are formulating a statement to present to Mr. Steffen for use in the hearings on this bill. When this letter is completed, Mr. Karth felt the City Council would probably be asked to ratify the statement. Mr. Zelinka questioned requisition #653. He felt this was an after the fact requisition and should be presented as a bill for payment. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve requisitions #651 and 652. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider pointed out the amount of Check #6884 was incorrect. The Clerk was instructed to void this check and rewrite a check for the correct amount of $233.98. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve checks #6872 through and including #6900, voiding #6884 and replacing with check #6900. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve payroll checks #3372 through and including #3389. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider asked if there is any sort of backup for the sewer truck and was told, No. Mayor Bohjanen said Mr. Lyle Tauer owns a tractor that will fit the tanker. This could be leased. He will contact Mr. Tauer for the possibility of working out some arrangement in case the tractor i$ needed.
