1 1 1 February 23, 1976 the people will have to pay for this stadium, this Council insists on a refer- endum vote. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Bohjanen said he had had several calls from personsalong Highway #49 who are interested in obtaining sewers. He told the people present at this meeting only two problem areas are to be connected to the interceptor. Mrs. Elsie Wood, from the audience, said she has a petition signed by the residents who live along Hodgson Road (Highway #49) asking for sewers for that area. Mr. Zelinka asked the Attorney what percentage of residents' signatures is necess- ary for the Council to consider this matter? Mr. Locher said it must have the signatures representing 35% of the front footage. Mr. Zelinka asked Mrs. Wood if she knew what percentage of front footage was re- presented on this petition and she said all but three (3) families, well over 35 %. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to read the names of the list. Mr. Locher said it must be determined what percentage of the front footage is represented by this list - it must be 35% of the total frontage. Mr. Zelinka moved to have Mr. Locher determine if the petition is in proper order, have the Engineer determine if this represents 35% of the front footage, if so notify the MWCC of the interest before final decision on the route of the inter- ceptor is made. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider said the last he had heard the matter of hooking into the Shoreview interceptor was about 90% complete. Mr. Zelinka said he understood the capacity for the Shoreview route would handle between 800 and 900,: homes; the route to Lexington Avenue about 1300 to 1400 homes. Mr. Schneider reported on the Park, Recreational and Enviornmental Commission meeting held on February 16, 1976. There had been general discussion on the allow- ing of soft ball tournaments to be held in Sunrise Park. There was a suggested form for application. The main concern of the Commission was the selling and consumption of 3.2% beer at these tournaments. Ordinance #6I bans this practice except in designated picnic areas. Mr. Schneider questioned Mr. Locher on this Section of the Ordinance. Mr. Locher said the Council could designate certain areas for this and couid also limit the time. Mr. McLean said this had been done last Fall when a proposed tournament had been approved. The tournament eventually had been cancelled. The Park Board had felt they could operate under Sec. 19. Mr. Schneider reported that members of the Park Board had been appointed to be responsible for certain Parks, but all members are to make a priorty list. These ideas will be discussed at the next meeting so the planned work for this coming year can be organized. There had also been discussion of the bike trail system. Mr. Ringaman will do some checking on the planned system with the Anoka County Park Board.
