The bond for a borrow pit on the Lloyd Erickson Farm by Marvin Rehbein Construction was given to Mr. Locher to read. Mr. Rosengren stated that he had gone over the property with the State Engineer. Mr. Gotwald stated that the operation was com- plete and that he was going to check the property the following day. Mr. Gotwald had specified the amount of the bond at $2,000.00 based upon the removal of 5000 cubic yards of dirt from 1 acre. It was noted that everything had been complied with ahead of time. Mr. Bohjanen made a motion to ratify the verbal commitment of allowing a borrow pit for Marvin Rehbein, since Mr. Rehbein did consult ahead of time with the Attorney, Engineer and Council members, and to allow the release of the bond upon the Engineer's approval given to the Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald noted that the use of the haul road had been taken care of by the State Hwy.

The Clerk was instructed to send copies of the sheet to Planning & Zoning members.

Mr. Bohjanen reported that Mr. Van Housen had been unable to make the last Community and Business Development Commission meeting due to another commitment which ran overtime. However, he had talked with the Planner twice. Mr. Van Housen stressed that the freeways should be indicated clearly on the brochure cover. Also, that the brochure should not be completed until the airport decision is made within 30- 45 days. Mr. Bohjanen thought that they would discuss having promotional days for Lino Lakes in the fall; letters will be sent to all Community and Business Development members and businessmen for suggestions. Mr. Bohjanen will try to get together with the Planner once more after the airport decision. The Clerk asked Mr. Bohjanen how soon the Information Guide would be ready. He thought that the layout would be ready for the next meeting. Mayor L'Allier asked to have copies of the proof mailed out before that meeting.
