81 cussion on how the purchase would be paid off as the Roads fund is low now. Mr. Gotwald will draw up the specs and get informal bids. The plow does not have to be purchased now. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that Mr. Cameron Anderson of Northern States Power will come out to look over the street lighting system; it was suggested that they look over Sunrise Avenue and the end of 20th Avenue and other areas. Mr. Rosengren stated that Mr. Juleen had purchased one hand pump can fire extin- guisher for the car. Mr. Rosengren moved that we purchase 3 additional cans. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that he had received much literature on various products to use in the new building; Mr. Gotwald suggested that these be filed. Mr. Gotwald felt it was unnecessary for Lino Lakes to subscribe to the Construction Bulletin as we can place ads in it anyway and his firm has a subscription. W. Rosengren stated that the committee had not set another meeting date yet but he would like to see a meeting within 30 days. It was thought that this might be a slow construction year and bids could be obtained. Mr. L'Allier read the police report as follows: 2,385 miles driven - 262 business and home checks - 12 assists to/by other departments - 9 complaints - 7 aid given to motorists - 3 accidents - 3 warnings given concerning city licenses - 2 stolen cars - 3 recovered stolen cars - 2 junk cars removed - 2 snowmobile complaints - 2 emergency messages delivered - 1 petty theft - 1 act of vandalism - 1 escapee (1 hour involved). Mr. Rosengren stated that he hadn't received even one complaint on snowmobiles this year. It was thought that the fact that the lakes are open this year might help as well as self- policing. There was some discussion on snowmobiles in general. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the Open Space Committee of the Metro Council had plans for constructing a zoological garden in Anoka at the State Hospital site. Mr. L'Allier offered a motion in favor of a resolution endorsing the construction of a zoological garden at the Anoka State Hospital site. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Copies of this resolution will be sent to the Metro Council Open Space Committee and the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities (which has also endorsed the project.), Mr. Jaworski moved to adopt a resolution showing the intent of Lino Lakes to adopt the proposed road program set forth by Mr. Gotwald for the elimination of all exist- ing Village gravel roads in his letter of September 25, 1969 as follows: that the approximately 17 miles of Village gravel roads be phased out over a 5 year period at the rate of some 3.5 miles per $ear. This would not bind future councils. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald reported on the request by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. to install new buried cable from Hwy. 49 along Birch Street to and in 7th Avenue for the Jandric project. He suggested that this follow the south edge of Birch Street to Ware Road as there are existing lines on that side; and then to switch to the north side of Birch up to Seventh. He recommended this construction. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the Clerk to sign the request by Northwestern Bell Telephone. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald stated that he had been asked to comment on the Circle Pines Comprehen- sive Plan 1969. He had gone over this thoroughly with Mr. Rosengren and they found nothing to object to in the plan. Mr. Jaworski asked about the proposed dam on the
