20;3 Mayor Rivard stated that Centerville had requested a proposal from the County as early as 1960. For the past year and one -half help from the County has diminished to a point where calls for help have gotten nothing. Mr. Rivard thought that another motive for the Sheriff's proposal was that this would help the Sheriff's department which doesn't have as much as it wants. He felt that Centerville wouldn't get much more help under the County proposal. Mr. Myhre questioned why the County would give so much for a few years. There, was discussion on Ramsey County policing which seems satisfactory and is financed by taxes. Al Westerhaus of Circle Pines asked whether the Village attorneys had checked the two proposals. Mayor L'Allier stated that Lino Lakes had not done so but would have the Attorney check a contract. Attorney Locher, now present, stated that he had read through the combined proposal but had made no determination. Mayor L'Allier asked Mr. Locher if there was any basis for the charge that such a subsidy was an illegal use of funds. qtr. Locher stated that it seems the County can enter into contract and levy special assessments. It was mentioned that all 4 villages were required for the proposals. Richard Hirt of Lexington stated that he didn't like either cost; for the money, Lexington could provide a full time force. There was further discussion on the training and the training officers furnished by the County. Mayor L'Allier noted that the session was out of time. He would ask the Lino Council if they wished to seek an Attorney General's opinion on the training statutes.
