Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk reported on the following items: ..Chief Myhre had re- computed the cost to Centerville for Police coverage for the year 1976 using the population estimates as complied by the Metropolitan Council. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved this information be presented to the Centerville Council by Mayor Bohjanen for action as soon as possible. Seconded by Mr. Karth Motion carried unanimously. .. Mr. Gotwald had delivered a letter to the office this day in reference to the charges in connection with the Highway #49 sewer project. Normally the charges would be a percentage of the overall costs of the projects and in this instance would amount to $7,908.00. But, in view of the fact, the firm had included the lower section of High- way #49 and they were aware of the controversial aspects of this project, the charges had been computed on an hourly rate. The amount to be paid at this time will be credited to this project when it is eventually constructed. The charges to the City at this time is $2,426.00. .. In the Metropolitan Review received on this date, notice of a meeting of the Metrop- olitan Parks and Open Space Commission to be held today had been noted. No other information had been received. Mr. Locher suggested this could involve the land around Bald Eagle Lake since the notice also included Hugo. In this same line of thought, it was noted that Mr. Joseph Huber had split 1.25 acres from his land and and sold the acreage and the home. This is in violation of the City Ordinance re- quiring 22 acres in an unplatted area. Mr. McLean questioned the County's respon- i;sibility in making this split without reporting the matter to this City. Mr. Locher said this is a City law and the County felt they do not have the personnel to police matters such as this on a County wide basis. Mr. McLean felt the legality of this requirement should be looked into by the Planning and Zoning Board. He requested the Clerk to put this matter on the agenda for July. .. Two letters, from Centennial School and Mr. Glenn Rehbein, giving the City permission to block the end of 4th Avenue at Elm Street had been received. Mr. Zelinka had been contacted. He said he had no-objections to the blocking of the Street but would ask the barricade be set back approximately 160' from Elm Street. Mr. Zelinka told the Council his company has plans for developing that corner in a couple of years and a driveway would exit on 4th Avenue. Mr. Zelinka said he would send a letter setting forth his requests. Affadivits of publication for the General Revenue Sharing Planned Use Report and the advertising for bids for a new pick up truck had been received. .. A questionaire from the Director of Housing of the Metropolitan Council had been rec- eived. Mr. McLean looked the form over and suggested the Clerk use Ordinance #56 to answer the questions. .. A preliminary estimate of current population from the Metropolitan Council had been received. The estimate sets the population of Lino Lakes at 4,109 as of April I, 1976. If the City has questions about this figure and can justify any changes, the Metropolitan Council will consider these concerns up to July 15, 1976. It would seem the only manner in which to question this figure would be by conducting a census.
