12 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on October 27, 1969, was called to order at 8:07 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present save for Mr. Rosengren who arrived about an hour later. Corrections were made to the minutes of the September 29th and October 13, 1969 meetings. The corrections were seconded. The Clerk reported that Berghorst Plumbing and Heating had requested a license to install sewage systems in Lino Lakes, particularly in connection with the Big Steer Restaurant being constructed. Also, all the applications were in for the new owners of the Oasis Lounge. These papers were givento Mr. Locherfor study. A bid on the police car had been received from Coon Rapids Chrysler Plymouth, Inc. The amount bid was $2829.00. Mr. Bohjanen moved that the decision on the bids be tabled until the next meeting in order to let the police and Mr. Locher study the bid offers. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The revised letter by Springsted, which is to be sent out to all registered voters prior to the election, was read. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether any exact specification had been received from the Engineer, whether there was something on costs to lay out. It was noted that Mr. Gotwald had given costs on a footage basis. Mr. L'Allier stated that we can't get the exact dollar amount without having the exact specifi- cations before they are asked to pay for the building. Mr. Cardinal told him that the cost would not exceed $100,000. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that the wording in the letter be changed to include the words "not to exceed $100,00 ". Mr. Locher reiterated the different costs which would be paid from the bond issue and stated that any excess money not paid out immediately would not be dead money, but would be collecting interest until used. Mr. Bohjanen moved that the wording in the letter be changed on the letterhead to include "not to exceed ". Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. It was mentioned that an error on the size of the building had been printed in one of the local papers and that persons had called about this. After discussion, it was decided that the Council would sign this copy of the letter and that Springsted would make the correction on it; there was not time to retype the whole thing and get signatures. The Clerk was instructed to get copies of the letter and to have Springsted come out to pick up the letter to be made up for mailing, as they are being paid for this work. Mr. Locher stated that he had examined the papers for the Berghorst request and that all was in order: the bond was okay and their insurance far exceeded Village re- quirements; the Clerk stated that the license fee had been paid. Mr. Cardinal moved that Lino Lakes grant a license to Berghorst Plumbing and Heating to do sewage system work in the Village, on the recommendation of the Attorney, subject to Ordinance Number 48. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. 1 The Clerk reported that the Assessor's calculator was out of order and that repairs were estimated by Bill Munt Equipment Service to run from $30- $35.00. Mr. Bohjanen stating that all necessary equipment must be kept in working condition, moved that the calculator be repaired at the estimated price. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The Clerk also mentioned that Mrs. Sarner had expressed a wish for a better calcu- lator, one that would be faster for her type of work. Mr. Munt had offered a Bohn contex 55 Calculator, a demonstrator, for $300 instead of the asking price of $349.50. This was considerably cheaper than a Friden and was easier to operate, in the opinion of the Assessor. However, the Council wished to have another bid submitted. 1
