1 1!,5 June 28, 1976 Mr. Locher said one of the other communities had questioned the procedures for the census and had found that the City would have to hire Federal people to conduct the census and provide office space and equipment for them. Mr. Zelinka felt that if the figures for construction of new homes for the years 1970 through 1975 were com- puted and multiplied by the 3.2% persons per home, added to the Federal figure of the last census and presented to the Metropolitan Council, this may be a point for consid- eration. The Clerk was instructed to compwte these figures. .. A request from Northwestern Bell for the replacement of buried cable on Andall Street had been received. The present cable has been damaged by water. There was some dis- cussion of this matter. Mr. McLean moved to approve this request subject to approval by Mr. Gotwald. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk was asked if the maps of the underground utilities had been received as requested. The Clerk said that Circle Pines, Anoka Electric and NOrth Central Public Service had sent the maps. Northwestern Bell and NSP have not complied as yet. The Clerk was instructed to write those two firms again. Mr. McLean moved they be informed that any future requests for buried cable might not be considered until the maps are re- ceived. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion careted unanimously. Acting Mayor Zelinka asked if there was any business from the floor that should be handled at this time. A lady representing the Majestic Suburban Homes, Inc. presented the Council with a letter concerned with a lot located at the end of Marshan Lane. This is the last parcel of property located on that street that is not owned by the County for Park pur- poses. There is no access to this property but the Company states they will finish50' for the approach to the property in the same manner in which the street is finished. They asked for a letter confirming the issuance of a building permit in order to close IIIthe sale and start construction on a home. There was a question of turn around at the end of the approach for City vehicles. It was suggested this matter be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Zelinka asked if the delay would cause a problem and the Lady said the buyer wanted to start construction as soon as possible. Mr. McLean asked for a letter from the Engineer and the Building Inspector and moved to set a special Planning and Zoning Board meeting for July 7, 1976 at 8:00 P.M. for the consideration of this matter. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk was instructed to send notices to all Planning and Zoning Board members with copies of the parcel and letters. Mr. Ronald Jaworski requested a Beer and Bingo Permit for St. Josehp's Catholic Church for August 8, 1976. These permits are in conjunction with the annual chicken dinner sponsored by that Church. Mr. McLean moved to approve this request with the stipulation that proper insurance is provided. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher said there is a new State Statute on Bingo and has to do with the City pass- ing an Ordinance governing Bingo. He will give a copy of a sample Ordinance for insp- ection by the Council. Mr. Karl Ferrance was also in the audience in response to a letter asking the status of the back stop at the newest ball field at Sunrise Park. Mr. Ferrance said they had installed the poles for the backstop but had run into problems in trying to install the fence. It is old and bent to the point where it cannot be str- etched and installed propert ''. Mr. Ferrance suggested the City pick up the fence and discard it. Mr. McLean asked what the original agreement had been and Mr. Ferrance said the City was to provide the materials and his club would put it up. Mr. Zelinka asked what the cost of a backstop would be and Mr. McLean felt approzimately $500.00. Mr. McLean suggested the City pick up the fence and refer this matter to the Park Board for their consideration to purchase the fencing for the backstop.
