64 Mr. L'Allier read the letter from the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities regarding their budget and the dues for 1970. Lino Lakes' share comes to $145.90. Mr. L'Allier moved to pay the 1970 dues to the Association. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier then gave his thoughts on matters he hopes the Council will accomplish, in 1970; 1) Like to see the Council adopt the street improvement program as previously set forth by the Engineer- -the elimination of gravel roads. 2) Review with the Planner particularly any major development and /or rezoning. 3) Work for the installation of County and local communications with the Youth Center to help in the capture of escapees. 4) Within the next few weeks reappoint the Mayor's Committee for the Youth.. Center like the one which worked during the 1969 legislative session. 5) Institute an initial summer teen job program where persons could call into the Clerk or some other person to register a need for help or willingness to help on a schedule. 6) Recommend strongly that the Council suspend all mobile home park hearings this year and use the time to work with the Planner, and Engineer to decide if we want the same and where we would allow the same to develop to make this fair to all. Also, that we allow only expansion of the present mobile home park. 7) He agrees in part with Al Ross that we should derive some benefit from mass transit since we have no control over it, but the benefits should be suburban, not just urban. 8) Hope the Council will withhold any approval of Open Space programs until the fiscal disparities are resolved. Lino Lakes is intended to be a large part of the Metro Park System, but they wish to pay our tax loss for only 2 years. 9) Like to see the postal department establish a sub - postal system in Lino Lakes to serve the present population and the developments coming in. 10) Request the Metro Transit Commission to do what is necessary to subsidize the small lines or set up specific plans for a system here soon. 11) Mr. L'Allier also hoped that after the Park Board has defined their long and short range park plan that the Council will adopt the same and pursue their development. Mr. L'Allier stated that he wished to thank the Drifters Snowmobile Club for the work they have done with the youngsters in their training course and testing. Mr. Gotwald presented an application by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. to install 6 -duct line (about 33' from center) along the West side of Hodgson Road to Birch Street. He recommended approval on this. Mr. Rosengren moved to grant approval of this request. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Gotwald mentioned that a request to put in line along Birch Street had been received but that he had not had time to study it yet. Mr. Locher stated that a certificate of insurance had been received for Berghorst Plumbing & Heating; however, under Ord. No. 48, it will be necessary to raise the insurance limits on property damage from $1000 to $5000. The Clerk will write to them. Mr. Locher stated that the requested corrections on the Chomonix Country Club insurance had been made with the exception of the deletion of the assault exclusion. He had discussed this with the agent and felt that it was for the Council to decide.
