106 <br />be $126,584.42. The bond, in an amount of 1 1/2 times the estimated cost, must be <br />furnished in the amount of $189,876.00. <br />The matter of park dedication in Lakes Addition #2 was discussed. This had not been III <br />mentioned at a Park Board meeting. The consensus of the Council was that land should <br />be taken rather than cash value. Mr. L'Allier noted that until the park dedication <br />was decided, there could be no filing of Lakes Addition #2 since neither he nor the <br />Clerk would sign the plat. Mr. Bohjanen felt that a good spot for a large park would <br />be by the creek, but not just some low spot. He thought that the dredging permit re- <br />quired Jandric to leave some open space in that area. Mr. Jaworski stated that he <br />would try to get together with the Planner by the next Council meeting for his suggestions <br />on where to place a park in that area. The Clerk was asked to contact Mr. Van Housen <br />to send a letter stating his recommendations for sites prior to the next Council meeting. <br />Mr. Rosengren mentioned that Mr. Juleen needed a ticket book for violations. The <br />Clerk will check on this. <br />Mr. Rosengren moved to authorize the purchase of two plastic door covers stating <br />"Fire Marshall" to be used on the old police car when driven by Mr. Juleen. Seconded <br />by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren thought they cost about $12.50 <br />each. <br />Mr. Rosengren stated that it would be necessary to get some different equipment to <br />handle snow in the cul -de -sacs in the Jandric development; something on the order of <br />a Michigan -type loader (with 4 -wheel drive) would work best. He mentioned pros and <br />cons of the various type trucks they have been considering. He felt that the truck <br />should be ordered in the summer and have it ready for fall. <br />Mr. Bohjanen stated that he would like to talk over the Metro Section letter with <br />Al Ross. He will report on it at the next meeting. <br />1 <br />Mr. Al Ross commented on the Metro transit meeting and suggested some persons, including <br />John Jamison, who should be invited to speak at area meetings on this subject. Mr. <br />Ross also felt that the Ham Lake site was still in the running. Mr. Ross felt that <br />some change should be made in Northwestern Bell Telephone's rates for this area - -if <br />we are part of the Metro area, we should be charged the same rates as the core cities. <br />He also stated that our chain of lakes is the number one priority for the Metro park <br />system, but they are taking another look at the area due to the Jandric development. <br />Mr. L'Allier noted that he had received a call from the Planner at the Metro Council <br />who was concerned because we are going ahead with the development. They are re- <br />appraising the situation; they have no actual powers yet, but must wait for the <br />1971 Legislature, and then will be in force in 1972. Mr. L'Allier and Mr. Ross <br />agreed that the fiscal tax disparities must be straightened out. <br />Mr. Ross felt that the zoning laws concerning the new airport need closer defining. <br />Mr. L'Allier stated that we must help ourselves before Metro steps in. <br />Mr. Jaworski moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried <br />unanimously. <br />Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 10:44 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. All noted <br />aye. <br />1 <br />
