17 It was decided that the Road Study Board should have a seesion with the proposed thoroughfare map and the new colored road map. Mr. L'Allier reminded the Council of up- coming meetings on zoning and League of Municipalities. Mr. Gotwald again discussed the proposed raises in rates by Milner W. Carley & Assoc. Mr. Bohjanen moved that Mr. Gotwald only be required to attend the first Council meeting of each month; that we grant the raises as per the schedule in the Jan. 18, 1968, letter, that the rate change from $25 per month to $25 per meeting, further based on the recommendation of the Engineer that he be present at the first meeting of each month only, except at the special request of the Council announced by a call from the Clerk. Seconded by Mr.Cardinal. Carried. Mr. L'Allier moved that we ask the Attorney to review the model ordinance on required bonding of Village employees from the Minn. League of Municipalities, make the nec- essary correcting changes to become Ord. No. 44 and proceed with the publication of the same. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. A letter was read from the Minnesota Polution Control Agency concerning Forest Lake's request to grant a variance from Classifications and Standards for the Mississippi River and Tributaries (Regulation WPC 1) to discharge additional effluent from the proposed modification of the existing sewage treatment plant to the Rice Creek Chain and thence to the Mississippi River, with a hearing set for March 6, and all written testimony to be in by February 29th. Mr. L'Allier thus proposed the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Village of Lino Lakes opposes any variance from the classifications and standards for the Mississippi River and Tributaries (Regulation WPC 1), and WHEREAS, the Village of Lino Lakes has within its boundaries several lakes which make up the Rice Creeek Chain, the granting of such variance would be detrimental to the promotion of our Village from a recreational standpoint, and WHEREAS, the Village of Lino Lakes in August of 1967 received from Twin City Testing and Engineering Laboratory, Inc. a report showing that analysis of water samples from the Rice Creek Chain submitted to them by Milner W. Carley and Assoc. on request of the Village Council, indicated "that the water from this source is unsafe for drinking purposes," and WHEREAS, the Village of Forest Lake can and should take an alternative route for discharge through the Sunrise River, and WHEREAS, the Minnesota Polution Control Agency on Oct. 6, 1966, rejected the request for a variance as applied for by the Village of Forest Lake, we ask THAT, as no additional evidence has been presented which would make this variance any more acceptable, the Polution Control Agency of Minnesota again deny the variance which the Village of Forest Lake has requested. Mr. Jaworski made a motion to accept this resolution; the Clerk will type it up as proposed and send it in along with the reports to the Minnesota Polution Control Agency. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried.
