166 <br />WHEREAS, the Village Council is concerned about the steady growth in tax - exempt <br />property which serves to increase the burden of taxpaying property owners; and <br />WHEREAS, the Village Council is not unmindful of the valuable services performed <br />by many tax- exempt organizations, particularly religious and educational insti- <br />tutions; and <br />WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature has thoroughly studied this problem and expressed <br />its concern through the passage of Laws 1969c.925, which proposes to amend Article 9, <br />Section 1 of the Minnesota Constitution to permit the Legislature to define or <br />limit the classes of exempt property, except churches, houses of worship and property <br />used solely for educational purposes, but including businesses in direct competition <br />with private business; and <br />WHEREAS, the Village Council believes the proposed amendment to be in the best <br />interests of the Village of Lino Lakes and the State as a whole, and represents a <br />reasonable means of meeting the need to more equitably spread the burden of financing <br />local government services while at the same time avoiding imposing undue financial <br />hardship on educational and religious institutions; <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Council of Lino Lakes endorses the <br />principles of equitable tax policy and reform exemplified in Amendment No. 1 relating <br />to tax - exempt property and urges its ratification. <br />Adopted this 27th day of July, 1970. <br />,Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. <br />W. L'Allier stated that the Youth Center Committee was being reconvened in order <br />to concern itself with the following items: <br />1. Community acceptance and public relations. <br />2. Physical training and recreational programs. <br />3. Volunteer services from communities, including group homes. <br />4'. Legislation. <br />5. Prevention 'and apprehension of escapees. <br />W. L'Allier mentioned that the 1969 Legislature had not responded to the recommend- <br />ations made in 1968 by this committee, namely, 1) to place a maximum limit on MRDC <br />at 225, 2) to upgrade the salaries for personnel dealing directly with the delinquents, <br />and 3) to provide a facility for hard core at St. Cloud or another maximum security <br />facility other than at Lino Lakes. W. L'Allier read the names and occupations of <br />those persons on the committee. (They are attached on a separate sheet). <br />The Lee C. Smith hearing for rezoning (proposed Ord. No. 6U) was called to order at <br />8 :35 p.m. W. Locher read the notices of publication, mailings and postings and <br />stated that all notices were in order and should be filed with the Clerk. W. <br />Locher then pointed out the various parcels under consideration on a plat map, <br />mentioning that some of the parcels near Hwy 49 are already commercial. W. Locher <br />stated that the petitioner had told the Planning & Zoning that he had no solid <br />plan for the whole area, but only for a 3 -acre parcel upon which Bill Ecoff wished <br />to build a tool and die shop. W. Ecoff was to have had the legal description of the <br />3 -acre parcel in to the Clerk prior to this hearing; the Clerk stated, however, <br />that Mr. Ecoff was out of town, would not be attending this hearing, and that the <br />legals were not ready. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
