1 1 1 11/23/70 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on November 23, 1970, was palled to order at 8:05 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present. A presentation of the Sevin Model 220 photocopier was made by-Mr. Jim Hart. The machine uses paper on a roll which may be cut to length. The maximum price per letter -size copy is 2¢ each. The machine could be purchased for $1295 outright or'leased for appriximately $35 per month for 5 years. The company guarantees that the machine will make legible copies for 5 years. There'is a 90 day warranty on parts and labor; they will service the machine. Mr. Hart felt that a service contract was unnecessary if we made fewer than 5000 copies per month. Mr. Hart also presented their smaller model which uses cut sheets in a cartridge. The Machine could be purchased for $845 or leased for 3 years at approximately $33 per month. If we were to lease the smaller model and later decide to go to the 220, they would allow the equivalent of what we had paid on the original lease towards the larger model. The shelf life of the paper is 50 years. After considerable discussion, it was decided to try the larger model for a few days. The scheduled hearing for rezoning for E1 Rehbethn & Son was called to order at 8 :38 p.m. Mr. Locher read the affidavits of posting and mailing as well as the affidavit of publi- cation from the Forest Lake TIMES, stating that all was timely. Mr. Cardinal stated that the P&Z had one more question on the apartments, namely, whether the buildings were to be pre -fab or custom built. Mr. Ken Rehbeetated that we had seen the plans; it was obvious they were to be custom built. Mr. Cardinal reported that the P&2 had recommended that the Council grant Ordinance 6S for the rezoning to commercial with the stipulation that ¥r. Rehbein provided 6 additional items. Mr. Rehbein presented all of the required items at this time, including new drawings and some letters. There will be about twice the amount of parking spaces ad the number of living units. There will. also be a 30E' setback for the drainfield from the property lines. No one else wished to speak either in favor or in opposition to the proposal. Mr. Cardinal moved to approve Ordinance No. 6S as it is written in thepublication affidavit. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher stated that there was.no need for a special use permit forapartments in a commercial zone. All connected charges will be billed to Mr. Rehbein. Mr.•Cardinal moved to adjourn the hearing at 8:50 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. The Clerk °reported that $35 in municipal court fines had been received. Two applications for the position of assistant constable were passed around. A letter from Mr. Gotwald concerning the 1971 truck bids was read stating the following information: The lowest bid was from Merit Chevrolet in the amount of $6,134.21; the second bid was from Anoka Inter- national Sales in the amount of $6,245.75, both having a delivery date of 90 days. Merit Chevrolet had also included a bid in the amount of $6,964 for a 427' truck, delivery date 2 days, the horsepower specs exceeding our requirements. W. Gotwald felt that this addi- tional bid should be considered, but that we should get an option from Mr. Locher. Mr. 0lmschenk of Merit Chevrolet came forward to give additional information on the 427" truck. He felt that it was a better buy than the one bid because it is in stock and heavier. Mr. Locher thought *hat if we wished to go to the larger truck, since it is different from the specs and the difference in price is $879, we should readvertize using new specs in line with, the alternate bid. There was some discussion. Mr. Locher was given the bids to con- sider.
