1 1 1 June 7, 1976 A joint meeting of the Lino Lakes and Centerville Council was held on June 7, 1976 for the purpose of discussing a petition by the residents in LaMotte's Addition to be served by the Centerville Sewer system. While waiting, Mayor Pracher asked to discuss the current problem in the County Park on the South end of Centerville Lake. He asked who was responsible for patrolling that area? Mayor Bohjanen said since the County has taken the land for Open Space, a part of the agreement was the County is reponsible for pat- rolling the Park area. Mayor Pracher said he has had many phone calls from the residents of the area complaining on the number of cars that use the street into the Park and on the noise generated from that area. The Lino Lakes Police have been called but say they cannot handle the situation. Mayor Pracher repeated his question, who is responsible? Mr. McLean said this is not the responsibility of the Lino Lakes Police Depart- ment, but is the responsibility of the County. He repeated the stipulations in the agreement with the County - they are responsible for maintaining, control- ling all Open Space land within the two cities. The Clerks were instructed to formulate a letter ( with copies to be sent to Mr. Burman and Sheriff Talbot) to be sent to Mr. Torkildson requesting this matter be taken care of. On the matter of the sewers, Mayor Pracher asked if a formal petition had been received and was given a copy of the petition presented to the Lino Lakes City Council by the residents of the area. Mayor Pracher asked if this petition was for the plat or just for the residents? Mr. Sprint said that he has just gotten the signatures of the current residents. Mayor Pracher asked if the Council wanted to handle this as a plat or just for the current residents and Mr. McLean felt it should be handled as a plat in order to assure sewers for the remaining lots. Mayor Pracher said this could be handled by a contract between the two Cities with this portion of the system to be handled as part of Centerville's system. He felt this was the logical way to handle this matter, and this would not use any part of the Centerville capacity. Mayor Pracher felt that until the public hearing scheduled for June 10, 1976 is held and the feeling of the residents of Centerville is known and the project is ordered, there is not much more that can be done on this matter. The City of Lino Lakes still must call a public hearing for this matter to be discussed with all property owners in the LaMotte Addition. This can be done once the cost figures are set. There was discussion on the methods of billing but this too will wait for the final decision. Mayor Pracher said this matter had been discussed many times during the recent negotiations and he felt there would be no problems connected with the install- ation of sewers in that area to be serviced throughthe Centerville system. There will be a record in their minutes of Centerville's acceptance of the petition and when details are finalized, the Lino Lakes City Council will be contacted. Mr. Burque moved to accept the petition from Lino Lakes on behalf of the resid- ents of LaMotte's Addition. Seconded by Mr. Murray. Motion carried unanimously.
