Mr. Jeworski moved to accept the minutes of the May 25th meeting as written. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The Clerk reported that a certificate of insurance from Berghoret Plumbing had been received. It was given to the Attorney for approval. The Lexington Fire Report for the first quarter of 1970 was read. A letter from Mrs. Phyllis Blaylock as well as one from Mire. Deidra Winter were read concerning Mrs. Winter's being an employee of the hospital and not being able to serve as an election judge for the Hospital Bond election on June 30th. The substitute name of Miss Dorothea Schmidt was suggested. Mr. Bohjanen moved that fir's. Winter's name be withdrawn from the list of election judges and that the next name on the original list (that of Mrs. Lynn Hansen) be appointed as election judge in her place. Carried unanimously. The Clerk read a letter just received from Gerald Houle Sewer and Trenching of 70 Tart Road, White Bear Lake, who stated that he had done sewer installa- tion work by the hour for Clyde Rehbein and felt that Mr. Rehbein rather than himself was responsible for obtaining the license mad permits. Mr. Locher read Seotion 3 of Ordinance No. 48 and stated that he felt that since Mr. Houle was a subcontractor he was liable for the license and permits. Mr. Jaworski moved that a letter be sent to W. Gerald Houle, along with a copy of Ord. No. 48 explaining that as a subcontractor he was responsible for obtaining proper license and permits. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mayor L'Allier requested the Clerk to read various correspondence received in regard to letters sent concerning the speed signing, etc., on Main Street near the Lino Elementary School. (The wording of the letter from the Village was read). Two petitions, one with the wording by Attorney Locher containing 84 names and•one with similar wording, plus a note that speed zoning is necessary by the St. Joseph's School containing 30 names of Parent's Club Members, were read. Portions of letters from Anoka County Administrator, Anoka County Attorney and Anoka County Engineer, were read, each of them mentioning that a State order for setting a speed zone of 40 m.p.h. in the affected area had been given on October 26, 1969. Tne letter from the County Attorney listed the various speed zoning areas given for the length of Hwy. 14 from Hwy. 65 to the East County Line and included the list of priorities on- roadwork adopted in 1968. The lint showed the work on Main•Street to be No. 21 out of 26 jobs. The speed signs as well as a sign stating 'Prepare to Stop' were promised immediately. Letters from the State Highway-Dept. and the Attorney General's office indicated that the order for speed zoning had been issued and that it was up to the County to get the work done; the State has no power to force the County to do such work, however. A letter from the Drifter's Snowmobile Club offering assistance was also read. The Clerk stated that she had received a call from Commissioner, Bob Burman who would be late. Mr. Burman mentioned that a new mat on Hwy. 14 had been started at Hwy. 65; when it is finished, after a 10 day seasoning period, the new pedestrian crossing marks, double yellow lines and "No Passing" signs will be installed. W. Burman offered, if it was wanted, to furnish at his own expense "Slow, Children' signs and to put them up if he were given permission to do so. W. Bohjanen moved to accept W. Burman's offer and to ask him, to do so. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept W. Burman's offer and to ask him to put them up as soon as possible. Seconded by Mr. Jaworeki. Carried unanimously. Mrs. Leckie stated that the people appreciated all that had been done, but felt that they needed immediate action; also Lino Lakes must enforce the speed limits. W. L'Allier seated that without the sign, we can't enforce the law. At the last police meeting the matter was discussed and the police are working out schedules so that the area can be covered more often. Also the Clerk had contacted the Superintendents of both school districts on the matter of hiring elderly people to police the street crossings. Centennial Schools are willing. Our Attorney has stated that we can expend Village monies for this purpose. We will do something on this by this fall. The matter of County policing for the area had been mentioned to the delegation which bad attended the County Board of Commissioners meeting;•the audience wished to know why we had turned down the offer. Mayor L'Allier explained just what the County offer had amounted to; namely, that the County would have put 138 on one more car to cover this area plus several other widely- scattered munic- ipalitiea,oeach of which now has its own police force. Lino Lakes had considered the County offer as well as the possibility of Lino Lakes, Lexington, and Centerville going together on a joint force. The economics of the proposals have also been studied. We are trying to get the most policing for the least cost. The Mayor also mentioned that our own force has spent a lot of time in assisting the County on several matters. Mayor L'Allier acknowledged the presence of, Senator Tan Greig and Rep. Vernon Plaisance. Rep. Plaisance mentioned that the County was thinking of asking the State to lower the speed limit once more down to 30 m.p.h.; actually this amounts to asking the County to request the State to make a study of the area. Mr. Plaisance made mention of the roadwork that has started on Hwy 14 and felt that we should wait and see whet. the County will accomplish. He stated that as far as getting light and flashers the area would have to meet State criteria to get State aid. Otherwise, the County would do the installation free if the Village paid the cost of the lights. There was some discussion with the audience. W. L'Allier noted that we do have radar and it will be used; Lino Lakes wants the speed limits enforced and will do so. He felt that the County should also police a County road. Mr. Plaisance mentioned that concerning. the Youth Center, he had received the past week a copy of a proposal for a new facility for hard -core juveniles. The study for the proposal had cost seine $50,000; the maximum security facility would cost one -half million to build. W. Plaisance asked whether we wanted this facility in our area; if we don't he will . work against it. Although such a facility would provide local jobs, it would bring many more delinquents into the area. Mayor L'Allier mentioned that W. Plaisance had been helpful when the first Youth Center Committee had made their study and proposals. At that time they had recommended a maximum security facility, but not to be located in Lino Lakes. Mr. L'Allier noted that the Committee would be reactivated in 30 days and would visit, the Center and its new administrator who seems to have good ideas. Senator Tom Greig stated that he didn't want to get involved in the problems of the Youth Center, but he did want to state that it is not what it was intended to be. He wants no enlarging of the facility unless it is a maximum security development. He is disappointed in the Youth Center . -inietretion and in the tact they're taking; he is against anymore expenditure on the Youth Center. As for Main Street, Sen. Greiustated that he had net with the County Engineer and the State Highway Department. These persons had stated that the limit would be 45 mph in the area if it weren't for the school. He suggested that "Reduce Speed -- School Ahead" signs should be put up about one mile on each side of the school. W. Greig stated that he honestly felt that we can't get a 30 mph zoning after talking with these people, since the departments feel that no matter what the limit is set at, if another fatility should occur, there will be another request to lower the speed. There was discussion on the criteria .required to get State Aid funds for flashing lights. On Mr. Greig's suggestion, it was decided to write to the State to request the 30 mph zoning and to find out what the criteria are. Sen. Greig also mentioned the sigma to designate Circle Pines and Lexington on the freeway exit; perhaps it should be labelled "Circle'Lex ". Also, a study has been requested for the stretch on Lovell which will carry 8 ton trucks off the freeway to Lexington Avenue in Circle Pines; these will pass Lovell School. Sen. Greig wished to have it made part of the minutes that he appeared and asked for a study of Main Street to set a 30 mph zone in Lino Lakes after 1 1 Mayor L'Allier asked him ii ,.e would request the State for such a study. Commissioner Bob. Burman stated that all letters to the County had been read, but that the State had set the limit at 40, not 30 mph. He stated that he was willing to present a motion tomorrow at the Board of Commissioners meeting that they request the State to set a 30 mph limit on Main Street since the Lino School is used for a playground after school and during the summer by children living in the area. MMr. Cardinal moved to adopt a resolution to be sent to the Board of County Commissioners requesting them to petition the State to restudy the Main Street area in the vicinity of Lino Elementary School and to reduce the speed limit to 30 mph. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Burman was asked by the audience what the guidelines are for flashing lights. Mr. Burman stated that our State representatives should be asked for this infor- mation. Mr. Jaworski asked how the priority system is set up. He went on to mention the. 26 signs which the County had put up at F.Y.C. in two weeks stating such things as "Factory Entrance" and wanted to know why these signs had a higher priority than our speed signs. Mr. Burman stated that it was his opinion that safety signs including speed signs should be the most important., Mayor L'Allier summed up the matter noting that the County had not coved along very fast on the signing, that Mr. Burman will ask the Board for restudy and that the police will keep a oloser watch on Main Street. Mr. Bohjanen asked for copies of the resolution to be sent to both the legislators. Mr. L'Allier felt that copies of any resolutions concerning legislation should be sent to these men and to the chairman of the respective committees. Following some audience discussion, Mr. Plaisanae stated that he would get a oppy of the guidelines for the flashing lights, but wouldn't try to interpret them. He will send them to the Clerk. MMr. Burman mentioned his offer of signs and was told that we had already accepted them. MMr. Rosengren stated that a 40 mph sign would be going up on Main Street just West of Nay 8. The hearing for Chamonix East was called to order at 9:03 p.m. Upon the reading of a letter requesting the indefinite continuance of the hearing, Mr. Bohjanen moved that the hearing be continued indefinitely and that. the Village be given at least 5 weeks prior notice when U. S. Lakes Development wishes to bring the matter up again in order to draft new notices and obtain publication. Seconded by MMr. Jaworski. Carried. A letter will be sent to Mr. Waalen. Mr. Cardinal had no report. MMr. Jeworski presented Mr. William Blaylock, liason to the gas utilities, who had attended recent meetings concerned with North Central's proposed gas rate increase. Mr. Blaylock stated that the various communities wished to present a united front to the gas company in opposition to the rate increase. Mr. George Hess, a nationwide authority on gas rates, had undertaken an audit of the books of North Central; it was Mr. Hess' opinion that there should be.no increase in rates, but rather a decrease. Mayor Bob Voas of Coon Rapids was meeting the following day with North Central on these figures. Mdr. Blaylock recommended that we table any actionooa the proposed ordinance until we see what happens. Mr. L'Allier reiterated some of the recent happenings concerning the gas matter and inquired whether the gas rates were regulated by the State. He was told no. We can, however, turn down the increase and then go to court to fight it out. Attorney Locher read from Section 6 of Ordinance 41 passed in 1966 (our contract with North Central) which states in part that the rates are fixed by the Company and the Village, or if in disagreement by a body designated by the State to 1 4 0 set reasonable rates. The ordinance also includes a section stating that civil actions maybe started if the company fails to perform its part of the contract. The new rates will go into effect on July lat. Mr. Jaworeki stated that he was afraid of the proposed ordinance since it would give North Central an open book to increase their rates whenever they like. Mfr. Blaylock mentioned the group which had been formed to keep a watch .on Mkinnegasoo. Rep. Plaiaance mentioned that he had authored a bill for a committee to control rates anf felt that if it could gave gotten out of committee, it would have passed. He is going to introduce a similar bill in the next session. Mi. Jaworski stated that the City of Coon Rapids had spent $5000 for an audit of North Central which had found that their earnings were considerably higher than had been reported by the company. There was some further discussion on the matter. The Clerk was asked to make copies of North Central's letter for the Council members. Mr. Jaworski moved to table discussion on North Central's proposed ordinance for study and to authorise the Attorney to study the changes in the proposed ordinance compared with our contract, Seconded by MIr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The Park Board minutes were read. The Board had requested permission to purchase two Saddle Nate toys, a Duck and a Poppy, for Sunrise Park on a test basis. Mr. Jaworski showed pictures of the equipment; the cost if $76 each installed. Mr. L'A11ier noted that the park board had planned to purchase some equipment each year. Mi. Jaworski stated that thin sort of toy is nearly indestrictable; being made of light aluminum and counted on coil springs, and is guaranteed. *. Jaworski moved to purchase the two toys as recommended by the Park Board. Seconded by-Mi. Cardinal. Carried unanimously/ Mi. Jaworski also mentioned that he would like to purchase a spray painter for the Parks Dept. but was asked to get estimates by the next meeting. M[r. L'Allier stated that Engineer Gotwald had studied the map shown by the Metro Park and Open Space Board and had found several sites listed as lowlands which were not. Mtayor L'Allier read the message which he had delivered to the Park Board on May28th,. stating that our objection was tax inequities. The proposed plan would encompass about 35% of our land area or about 7,000 acres besides six lakes. Mr. L'Allier discussed prior action which had been taken on this and the need for different legislation to clear the tax problems. MEr. Rosengren moved that the Roads Dept. purohaae a new bucket for the tractor at a cost of $160. Seconded by Mir. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. 1 Mir. Rosengren stated that the old pumphouse South of Centerville Lake was being torn down and it was expeoted that the rubble would be placed on Peltier Drive. After discussion on dust control, Mir. Cardinal moved that the Engineer be auth- orized to go over the roads with Mi. Rosengren to see how much dust solution will be needed; also that the Village Road Dept. try to do the work themselves this time; but, if they are unable to, to have the company do it. Seconded by Mks. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren turned in the charges for road work to be paid for by Oneka Township. Mi. Bohjanen stated that Mir. Blaylock had brought the flag for presentation. Mir. Blaylock said that this flag had been purchased by the GOP organization through Clark MacGregor and had flown over the Capitol. He stated that he was proud to present this flag of the United States and that, whenever he looks at the flag, he thinks of the millions of men and women in and out of the armed forges 141 who have fought for our flag. Mr. L'Allier accepted the flag on behalf of Lino Lakes proudly and humbly. Mr. Blaylock requested that the flag be flown over Sunrise Park. The Clerk was asked to write a letter to the GOP Club thanking them for the presentation. W. Bohjanen reported that the VFW had sold the flag which was purchased for the Village and would get a_ larger one instead. If the Village wishes, the VFW will get an all-weather flag for the Hall; this would require lighting. W. Rosengren noted that it was hard to get someone to put up,a flag in daylight hours with only part time help. W. Bohjanen stated that he had talked with the Minnesota Emblem Co. abput making up a Village flag to hang on the wall at the new building in time for the opening. He passed around the proposed drawing for the buttons, similar to the flag design with the herons. He stated that it was normal to have a flexible date for the first year's celebration. He thought that a sheet of information on the Village could be handed out with the buttons.. There was some discussion as to cost, sales tax, dancing, etc. W. Locher stated that they would have to have a totally separate group to be able to sell beer. They could incorporate a Chamber of Commerce and he would be glad to give us information on requirements. The Village oan spend no funds on such a group --this is paid for by the businessmen. W. Bohjanen stated that he still had nothing definite on a carnival since we have no. set date. They have to know far ahead in order to get insurance, etc. W. Gotwald states umrc it we try to pin the contractor down to a definite completion date it will cost from 15% to 20% more on the bid amount; however, we could ask ,them to put expected beginning and completion dates on the bids. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he would wait until the next meeting to see if a date could beset; it takes 10 days to get the buttons after the order is placed. Mr. L'Allier stated that the Clerk will write to. the Superintendents of School . Districts #12 and,#831 asking them to previde adult school patrol personnel for any crossings in their districts which lie in Lino Lakes. No work on the Open Space decision had been received yet. Mr. Cardinal moved, upon Mr. Gotwald's approval and recommendation, to approve a request by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. to place buried cable in County roads in the Southeast part of the Village, to wit: Centerville Road, Birch Street, Ash Street, County 54 and the North County Line. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Mr. Denny.Houlp stated that the line was already buried on Centerville Road. Mr. Burman was asked if he knew whether the County had given approval to these lines as was indicated on the application; he hadn't heard of the request, but assumed that approval had come from the County Engineer. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that when NW Bell had done similar work on 4th Avenue, they had damaged a.culvert for which they will be required to pay at the time 4th Avenue is blaoktopped. The vote on,the above motion was taken -- it carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved that a oopy.of Ordinance No. 49 be sent to Northwestern Bell along with a letter reminding them of said ordinance and advising them that we will be obliged to prosecute if they proceed on similar work without approval in the future. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald read an order from the State Hwy Dept. designating 80th Street as e haul road free the Bast County Line to the freeway while I35E is under construction. He will ask them to put dust - proofing on the road while the trucks are hauling. Consideration of liquor licenses for Stanley E. Thayer, who has taken over the Apple Inn from Jerome Hauer, was next on the agenda. The Clerk presented two 142 separate sets of applications for On sale liquor, Sunday on sale liquor and dancing licenses: one set for licenses for the period from June 9 to July 1; the other for one year beginning July lst. Mr. E. R. Van de Loo, of the State Dept. of Taxation came forward with papers which he insisted )qtr. Thayer must sign since assuming Mr. Hauer's debts so that delinquent sales tax will be paid; otherwise he would• not allow Lino Lakes to grant Mk. Thayer the licenses. Mr. Van de Loo pointed out that singe Lino Lakes received part of sales tax revenues, the licenaes could be withheld under our ordinances. Mr. Thayer stated that he would not sign the forms until he was certain of getting the liquor license. Mr. Myhre reported that the police check was satisfactory; Mr Locher could see no problems. There was some discussion. Mr. Bob Trepanier, real estate agent, stated that they hadn't realized that new applications would be needed for the period until July lst, or these would have been in earlier. The Clerk explained that the fees had been paid for the licenses beginning July lst, that there was no fee for the transfer of the liquor license from Hauer, that the prorated fee for the interim Sunday license was paid, but that $4.17 was owing on the interim dance license. Mr. Bohjanen moved to transfer the on sale liquor license from Jerome Hauer to Stanley E. Thayer with the stipulation thet•it would be issued at such time that Mr. Thayer signs the State sales tax formes Mr. Van Be Loo had brought. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Trepanier stated that arrangements had been made for a new insurance policy to take effect July 1st. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant an on sale liquor license to Stanley E. Thayer effective July 1st which will be issued upon receipt of the new insurance policy which must include the 10 day prior notice of cancellation clause. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Van de Loo will send a copy of the judgement on the taxes. - Mr. Jaworski moved to grant to lair. Stanley E. Thayer licenses for Sunday liquor, dancing and cigarettes for the period June 9th to July 1st, 1970. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen moved to grant to Stanley E. Thayer a Sunday on sale liquor license, dance license and cigarette license for one year beginning July lat. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. • Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Clyde Rehbein if he had removed the septic tank from Mrs. Hilda Wollan's property and was told yea, 2 weeks ago. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the owners say it is still there; Clyde insisted that he had removed it. Mr. Rehbein stated that he had been unaware of the peed of a lioeaae and permits for sewer work; also, contrary to what was in the minutes he had not been told by the Plumbing Inspector that they were needed. Mr. Locher explained what was required under Ord. AS. Mr. Clyde Rehbein didn't feel that he needed a bond in Lino Lakes since he doesn't need one anywhere else. He stated that Gerry Houle had worked for him by the hour and didn't need these things as he, Clyde, is responsible. Mr. Locher stated that if Clyde Rehbein doesn't get the license and permits we can teat the ordinance in court; he believes it would be held up. The Village would be obligated to go to court in the event Clyde Rehbein doesn't get the necessary items so that the other sewer contractors can't get by without proper licensing too. Clyde Rehbein brought up the subject of prefab houses; he felt that we have a double standard on the building node. There was considerable discussion on this matter. It was decided to have the building inspector come to the next meeting to report on whether such items such as sheathing in the prefabs meets our code. Also, since Clyde Rehbein had stated that Gerry Houle had done the sewer work while acting as an hourly employee of Clyde's, it was decided to scratch the letter authorized to be written to W. Houle. W. Denny Houle mentioned that Mrs. Winter could not serve as one of the election judges and was told that this natter bad already been taken care of. Mr. Locher stated that voters in the hospital bond election would not have to be registered to vote. There was some discussion on the fairness of this. Denny Houle spoke on the ep- coming election, giving facts and figures as well as Hospital Board policy. The Memorial Hospital had not yet received its accreditation, but it was expected shortly. A letter bad been sent to the Community & Business Development Commission to ask them to meet with members of the hospital staff for information. Denny Houle stated that they would be glad to set up an informational meeting with officials. kr. Jaworski moved to grant a beer license to St. Joseph's Church for their chicken dinner on August 9th starting at 11 o'clock a.m. and a bingo permit for the rest of the year. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. MoShannock complained again about the junk yard on the Ford property next door to him. The owner was stripping cars and hauling the remains into the swamp behind. The Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Ford, sending a copy of our junk car Ordinance, telling him to remove the junk oars. Carbon copies will be sent to the Attorney, Chief Constable and Council members. Commissioner Burman came forward with some tax forfeit parcels which will be offered at the Sheriff's sale in August unless the Council wishes to take them. He will oheck with the Auditor's office on Lot 2, Block 4 of Lexington Park Lakeview which is a ponding area now owned by the Village. Mr. Bohjanen moved to request the County to hold the following piece of property for us: Parcel 4650 of the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 15, T31, R22. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal moved to`turn the study of the available lots in Nordin Manor over to the Engineer for study. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren moved that.Lots 17 & 18 of Block 5, Lexington Park- Lakeview, be put up for sale. Seoon a by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal moved that we request the County to take over the extension of County Road 54 from County Road 54 south to the County Line after completion by the State. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Burman reported that the County was holding up action on aligning the road into Centerville Park until the decision on the Parks and Open Space Plan is made. Mr. Cardinal moved to change the date of opening the bids on the municipal building to June 29th at 11 o'clock a.m. and to authorize the Clerk and the Engineer to open the bids at that time and to report the results at the next meeting. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jeworski moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Myhre reported that the police members had attended the courses at Mergy Hospital and that they felt that they were well set to handle any emergency.

Councilmen present were Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Bohjanen, with Mr. Rosengren arriving at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Cardinal was absent. Also present were • Mrs. Edna Sarner, Village Assessor, and Mr. Gayle Leone of theCounty Assessor's Office. Mr. Leone stated that all Council members had been sent letters on what a Board of Review is and does. Also, this hearing was for complaints on the 1970 assessment payable in 1971. After the meeting closed, he would hear eomplaints•for prior.yeare. Mrs. Ida Weeks stated that she would like to see the 1970 assessment lower than the 1969 one. She complained about how her taxes had risen greatly from 1968 to 1969, and although asked to wait until after the meeting, she proceeded with her grievance. Her house, which is rented to her daughter, who is buying it and wants to homestead the property, is a 3 1/2 room house which was greatly run down while rented -to sa6 party.: Upon checking, Mrs. Sarner found that the house had been homesteaded if it were not in the daughter's name; however, since the daughter is a minor, Mrs. Weeks would have•to co -sign the deed for homestead rights. There was more discussion on the matter. Mr. Leone noted that a few years ago there was no big difference in the amount of taxes for homestead and non-homestead, but now the sales tax credit makes a big difference. 1
