The wording of the petition was read; an attached sheet showed that the petition had been received by Mr. Bohjanen on November 23rd. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Locher to read again the State Law allowing a petition (requesting an election) on a purchase exceeding one per cent of the assessed valuation, if filed within 10 days of pub- lication of the notice of purchase which was published on November 14th. Lino Lakes' assessed valuation as per Mr. Ken Campbell was $1,194,605; the purchase price of the parcel was approximately $13,700. Midnight this evening would be the last time to have filed the petition. Mr. Locher also gave these observations as to who can sign a petition: 1) A person who is registered even if he did not vote can sign; 2) A person who is not registered cannot sign; 3) A person who registered on or after the election, and was thus ineligible to vote can sign, 4) A husband or wife cannot sign for each other. Mr. Locher also stated that if the evaluation is up next year, this would be found out on January 1st, then the land could be purchased without a vote. Mr. Robyn stated that there were about 140 names on the petition. Mr. Bohjanen asked him if these were registered voters or had voted in the last election. Mr. Robyn stated that he could not say for sure. Mr. Bohjanen then moved that the Council accept the petition and turn it over to the Attorney and the Clerk for tabulation; then if appears okay, the purchase is eligible for the ballot, and the Council will not act on the purchase at this time. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Motion carried unanimously.
