57 A three -party contract is drawn up among the State, Consultant and the Village. The Village would hire their own consultant and should interview three or four prospects to obtain one with a similar outlook of the community. The consultant would work with the Planning Commission and report to the State about three times a year. The Federal Government would not be involved except to pay their share on a submission of invoice that the contract had been met. Anoka County has almost 100 per cent saturation of professional planning and the state even pays part of the county's share if recreation is emphasized. The Planning Commission would have to be formed by ordinance which has already been been done in Lino Lakes. Mr. Eidem gave Mr. L'Allier a list of Professional Planners and W. L'Allier re- quested the Clerk to make copies for all of the Council, the P&Z and the Park Board. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Planning Board to invite W. Eidem to visit at their next meeting, August 21, and explain planning to the members. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Cardinal will contact Mr. Eidem again and all the Board members. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Clerk send copies of these minutes to the P&Z and the Park Board. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Anoka County GOP chairwoman has asked for the number of election judges which will be needed at the next election. Mr. Locher stated that this was a minimum of three judges for the first 150 voters and one additional judge for every 150 voters, with the number of voters based on the last general election. (1966 -- 777 voters) 1tr Jaworski announced that there had been no regular Park Board meeting in July due to vacations. Mr. Bohjanen moved to issue a bingo permit and a beer permit to St. Joseph's Catholic Church for Sunday, August 11, 1968, in connection with their annual chicken dinner. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen announced that there had been no CODC meeting since the last Council meeting. He stated that he had received complaints from residents along Sunset about chunks of blacktopping and other debris thrown into their yards from the road. This is a county road and Commissioner Burman had been contacted about checking into the matter. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Clerk and the Police make a complete itemized list of the costs to the Village of the Youth Center, which would cover all of 1967 and up to the present time. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Copies will be sent to state senators, representatives, county commissioners, etc. Mr. Bohjanen moved that hereafter when there is a public hearing by two boards, the first should be required to recess their meeting so that the second board may then hold their hearing so that the person paying for the hearing is not required to sit through the extended business of the first board. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The matter of Park Dedication in the Blomquist Addition was discussed. Mr. Bohjanen moved to waive the requirement that the developer dedicate 10 per cent of the land to the Village for parks because the plat had been in the preliminaries long before the ordinance was introduced and the hearing for the final plat had been set before the Ordinance was passed, also because of the heavy traffic in the area and the extremely small size of the plat. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Vote: Aye- - Jaworski, Cardinal and Bohjanen. No-- Rosengren and L'Allier. Mr. L'Allier object- ed to the reference of the timing and stated they should not start a precedent for other developers.
