2 4 Metro Council about this and had been told that if we purchased it we would not be eligible for reimbursement under the main plan but that some programs would reimburse the cost. Mr. Gotwald also stated that it would take until October 15, 1971, for money to be received from a Federal grant. Mr. Cardinal stated that if we did not take up this option, then the price would be higher. Mr. Gotwald felt that for only $10- $15,000 it would not pay to bother with the Federal Government. Also, the Metro Council had seemed favorable to the proposal for a park on Lake Amelia since it fits their overall plan; they will have to approve the plans also. Mr. Gotwald also stated that if we got Federal financing for the park, then we would be eligible for another 25% from the State. There was some discussion on the present Centerville Lake Park, etc. Mr. Bohjanen felt that the Park Board should study Mr. Hawkins letter and the proposal before a decision is made. Mr. Gotwald mentioned that if we purchase the land we can use it for any purpose but if we get Federal funds, then we are tied down to park usage only. After more discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved that Lino Lakes adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Village Council, of the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County Minnesota, proposes to purchase, for said Village, by Contract for Deed, certain real property containing 25.4 acres situate in the Village of Lino Lakes, from Louis J.
