cost of doing the mile of the north county line north of 80th, using a blade and 2 trucks for 2 days and 1,400 cu. yds. of Class 5 gravel to cost from $2,500 to $2,800. Mr. Rosengren thought the Village equipment could handle it, noting that there were lots of big rocks in the road. Mr. Gotwald stated, generally the gravel roads are in good shape. Mr. Rosengren . stated that they could start anytime on 64th, 80th and Linde and Laurene. The drainage on Linda and Laurene is poor and a- turnapul is required to put the drainage the other way; they have made an agreement with the property owners to drain these streets to the lake. Mr. Boyd asked if the Village would gravel East Rondeau and if it would be okay for him to disc it with his equipment if they didn't. Mr. Rosengren thought that the gravelling job for Rondeau had never been finished. Mr. Gotwald stated that he had received a call from Mr. Backlin concerning the problem of persons reading the sign on Hwy. 65 stating that they can reach 35W from there. These people don't know enough to turn on Hwy. 8 and wind up in the service drive along 35W at Main Street. The Clerk was instructed to write the State asking for directional signs to 35W at the Hwy. 8, Main Street intersection. The signs might include mileage to the freeway in both directions. Mr. Jaworski discussed spray painters with Mr. Rosengren. Mr. Gotwald stated that orders for haul roads in connection with construction work on I35E had been received from the State Hwy. Dept. The roads affected in Lino Lakes are Peltier Drive, Rondeau Lake Drive and Main Street. Mr. Gotwald stated that the State would take care of the bonds and are totally responsible for the care of the roads Mr. Gotwald also presented a request from Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. to install buried cable in West Rondeau Lake Road 500 feet North of Main Street across the road. He recommended approval of the request. Mr. Gotwald also mentioned a letter from the Conservation Department concerning the 1969 Flood Plain Management Act. He read from the letter and mentioned that if we complied with the request to complete a report, that we can get Federal assistance in time of flooding. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the request of Northwestern Bell Telephone to place buried cable in West Rondeau Lake Road as proposed. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize the Engineer to complete the report for the Flood Plains Management Act and to authorize the signature of same by a representative of the Council. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald stated that after receiving calls from residents on Reshanau Lake as well as a Minneapolis newspaper reporter concerning pumping water into that lake, that he had made an inspection last week. Jandric has been pumping water into the lake through an 8" line for several months; a nice pond has resulted which is inhabited by a flock of geese. Mr. Gotwald stated that all the former dry areas from dredging have filled up and that the water level is about 2' higher than it was at freeze —up time. He felt that the water from an 8" line would hardly replace the amount of water lost through evaporation. There had not been enough snow to raise the level by 2' (he noted that Rice Lake and George Watch Lakes were also low); apparently it is filling in naturally, e.g., through springs. Mr. Gotwald stated that a representative from the Division of Lands and Waters was optimistic about the level; by the next meeting he expected that the level might be up another 2'. 1
