1 1 1 September 13, 1976 Mr. Gotwald felt that it is possible to get this done through the University of Minnesota. The Clerk was instructed to contact the State Planner for assistance in this matter. Mr. Locher presented a copy of the Joint Powers agreement between the Lino Lakes Police and the Lexington- Circle Pines Police for law enforcement on North Road between Pointcross and Lake Drive. Chief Myhre said it would make it easier for an officer to act when the law is broken. Mr. Locher said such agreements make law enforcement simplier and less costly. A copy of the agreement should be sent to the insurance agency stating the officers that are covered. Mr. Schneider moved to approve this agreement and to authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the agreement. Seconded by Mr. Karth Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald had received a copy of the reply from Mr. Boland regarding the reserved capacity in the North Road interceptor. He will read and will then present his recommendations. He had looked over the requests for variance from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and recommended they be presented to the Planning and Zoning Board. He could see no problems and recommended approval of the requests. Mr. Locher asked about the above ground portion of the lift stations to be in- stalled at t`;ese locations. Mr. Gotwald said there is only about 22 feet above the ground, the installation is painted and fenced. There is usually a power pole inside the fence where the controls are located. He said they take up just a small area and do not create a problem. Mr. Locher wondered if the lot in Shenandoah could still be used as a home site. Mr. Gotwald felt that it could - this is a corner lot and quite large. Mr. Schneider asked if the model home in Shenandoah had been connected with a septic system. The Clerk said there had not been a permit issued. She was instructed to contact Mr. Vadnais and ask him to check on this matter. Under Old Business, the Clerk presented the comparison figures on the copy machine as requested by the Council. Mr. Schneider felt the needed time to study this and to also fit the cost into the budget. He moved this matter be tabled until the September 27, 1976 meeting. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Bohjanen reported to Chief Myhre he had had reports of dragging on Lilac and he asked the Chief to watch this area. Cheif Myhre said he would. Atso, the trucks from Molin Concrete are taking the corner off the street at Lake Drive. It is not wide enough at that point to allow the truck sufficient clearance for entrance on Lake Drive without going onto the shoulder of the street. The Clerk was instructed to write the State Highway Department and ask the street be widened at that inter- section inorder to accomadate the large trucks. Chief Myhre said the auto manufactures are now accepting bids for patrol cars. He had prepared a specification list for a new patrol car and asked for approval to advertise for bids. Delivery is 60 to 90 days. The purchase of this vehicle is in the 1976 budget.
