Mr. Bohjanen requested that any further additions or corrections be given him by the following evening. Mr. Bohjanen stated that at the last Community and Business Development Committee meeting he had been asked to serve as Chairman of that group; Mrs. Crystal Ahlman was selected as Secretary. A new member is Paul Oman, 8071 Lake Drive. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the letters were ready to be mailed to the businessmen. Mr. Rosengren had no report, but wished to comment that, in 1960 when he first proposed building a steel municipal building, a structure 40' by 60' would have cost $14,000. Also, noting the article on landfills in the Newsletter, an operation which he tried unsuccessfully to start for 11 years would have followed the same plans as outlined in the Newsletter. Mr. Jaworski commented that he had been told at an Anoka County meeting that the Pollution Control Agency would allow hardly any landfills in the County due to the high water table; low sites would have to be filled in first and the refuse placed on top of this and layered. Mr. Rosengren noted that at a fire marshall's meeting the officials commented that the pollution thing had come all of a sudden; they were told to stop everything and given no alternatives. There was some discussion. Mr. Rosengren noted that the building committee had visited more steel buildings, and wished to do a bit more study before completing specifications.

Mr. Jaworski wondered how people without cars were expected to enjoy these parks without mass transportation. Mr. L'Allier proffered a proclamation establishing April 1 -27, 1970 as Mental Health Month, which was read. Copies will be made for the Council and the newspapers. Mr. Locher stated that the plat of Lakes Addition #2 has not been filed, and he cannot place the advertizements for hearings on Chomonix East until #2 is filed, since Outlot G must be used. He had talked with Bill Jensen who was working on it. If the plat is not filed by April 3, the hearings will have to go over until May.
