1 1 1 July 26, 1976 Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Karth moved to instruct the Lino Lakes Police Department to set up the radar on Main Street, Birch Street and both sides of 135E whenever possible, in conjunct - ion with asking for assistance from the Sheriff's office. Mr. Schneider asked to defer this action until the next meeting in order to consult with Chief Myhre. Mr. Zelinka also wondered what condition the old radar is in at this time. After some discussion, Mr. McLean seconded Mr. Karth's motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider suggested that common sense be used in the issuance of tickets - possibly issueing warning tickets if the speed was not excessive. ..A letter from the State Highway Department in reference to the speed study request- ed by the City for Highway #49 from County Road J. to Birch Street was read. The State had conducted a survey on that portion of the highway and found conditions had not changed since the previous survey done in 1971. They felt that until there was more development and the more traffic generated, the current speed is safe and reasonable. At that time they will be glad to conduct another survey. ..The Clerk reported the repair service from A. B. Dick had called with the absol- ute minimum cost of repairs on the copy machine would be $262.00. This is just an estimate and the man felt that more things might need to be replaced once the machine was taken apart. After some discussion, Mr. Schneider moved to have the Clerk check on the cost of either purchasing or leasing a copy machine. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. ..The Clerk had been instructed to check on the cost of conducting a census. She reported she had contacted the Little Canada Clerks office. That community had conducted a census in 1974 with an approximate cost of $3700.00. The Clerk in Little Canada had felt with the area to be covered and the inflation cost, the survey would probObly be around $5,000.00 for Lino Lakes. Mr. McLean moved to table this until a later date. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried un- animously. Mr. Schneider reported on the meeting of the Park Board held on July 12, 1976. The status of the new ballfield at Sunrise was discussed with the general consensus to leave the field as it is for the remainder of this year and put the cost of a back- stop in next year's budget. The outlot in LaMotte's addition had been checked into and it was found this lot is owned by the City but is to used for drainage purposes only. Also, the St. Paul Water Department owns 25' bordering the lake shore. There had also been discussion on needs at the Hall property for the winter months such as ice rinks and a place for kids to change skates and warm up. Mr. McLean asked if the possibility of using the area in the garage had been discuss ed and Mr. Schneider said, Yes. Mr. McLean suggested the Park Board present a cost figure for Council consideration. The Barn at Sunrise had been discussed and since Mr. Mobley was in the audience, Mr. Schneider asked for his findings.
