Minutes approved at the meeting of October 13, 197 Clerk - Treasurer The second special budget meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council was held on September 24, 1970. The meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present as well as Mr. Waldemar Hill. Prior to budget work, W. Rosengren inquired what price should be set on our old truck with plow and wing. Circle Pines is in need of a truck immediately and we would like to sell the truck outright rather than trade it in. After discussion, in which the figures $1500 to $1700 predominated, Mr. Rosengren was told to get estimates from several dealers first. Mr. Hill stated that our total assessed valuation was now $1,691,000.00 accord- ing to the County Assessor.
