1 1 21 10/26/70 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on October 26, 1970, was called to order at 8:07 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present. Mayor L'Allier inquired whether the Council wished to act upon the minutes of October 13, which had been mailed to the Councilmen on the previous Thursday but which had been returned because of insufficient postage, thus having just been received this evening. Mr. Bohjanen stated that, on page 5 of the minutes, the person who had made the statements concerning Jandric was not here, but that he was sure that it had been stated that it was a rumor that Jandric was going defunct. Mr. L'Allier disputed that, stating that Crystal had stated three times that Charles Weaver had made that statement and that it was not an assumption. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the minutes as so corrected. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The Clerk reported that the affidavits of publication for Ordinance No. 54 on inflammable liquids had been received. A letter from Northern States Power Co. concerning service lines near swimming pools and the future adoption of an ordinance governing same was read. Copies of ordinances from Coon Rapids and Columbia Heights adopting the PCA regulations on air standards were before each member. Mayor L'Allier stated that he had asked the Clerk to send a letter to the PCA indicating that we are working on an ordinance to adopt their regu- lations on same. A letter will also be sent to our County Sanitarian, Mr. Hutchison, requesting a model ordinance on the regulation of air pollution and burning. The Clerk reported that a request had been made by 3M Advertizing Co. to amend sign permit #18, to wit: that the size of the sign granted be increased from 14' by 30' (420 sq. ft.) to 16' by 40' (640 sq. ft.). The sum of $5.00 had been paid for the increase in area. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the change in size as requested providing that the Engineer checks the request against the ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. A letter from Joseph P. Summers, attorney for Crystal Ahlman and Gilbert Menkveld, concerning the Village's reimbursement of Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Locher for time spent at the Court hearing on the injunction against the mobile home park ballot was read. Mayor L'Allier stated that he had been in Phoenix, Arizona at the time of the hearing and could not attend; therefore Mr. Jaworski, as Acting Mayor, had appeared in his place. The Village had then paid Mr. Jaworski for lost salary on that day. As Mr. Summers notes in the letter, Miss Ahlman and Mr. Menkveld brought the action; the Village therefore defended against this action. Mr. L'Allier felt that the Village should pay these expenses and not the private party who paid the election costs. Attorney Locher stated that the Village had been named in the action, not the person who had requested the ballot. The Village was attacked and had to defend itself. As far as the actual costs of the election, such as the ballots, these were billed directly to Mr. Scherer. The question of the case in court is different. If Mr. Summers wishes he could go back to the Court for an interpretation; subsequent action r ould cost the Village more.
