71 Mr. Locher stated that the same number of election judges were needed for both the primary and the general election. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Constable Raymond to obtain prices on the purchase of two tires on the squad car. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Coon Rapids ordinance on buried electric cable was read. Mr. Locher stated that it was not broad enough, that gas and oil pipelines should be added. The Clerk was instructed to get more copies from the League and to get a pipeline ordinance from Columbus and make copies for the Council. Mr. Bohjanen moved to table any action on the letter from the Water Polution Control Board concerning sewers on Otter Lake Road. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Police report for July showed 3 domestic calls, 1 break -in; 2 escapees from the Youth Center, 1 accident, 110 miles on the car and 77 hours service for the car. Mr. Locher stated that he had gotten a letter from Lindberg Consruction; Mr. Gotwald and Bob Allen of Lindberg will work things out. Mr. L'Allier stated that the ordinance regulating limits on road weights will be discussed next time. Mr. L'Allier reported that he had been contacted by Dave Torkildson of the County Park system who had stated that Mr. Cecil LaMotte was willing to give the County a 60' right -of -way thru his property to the Centerville Lake Park. This road would parallel the east side of the lake and be an extension of a short road in Center- ville. Centerville seems to favor this; the County would turn the road over to Lino Lakes when built. Mr. L'Allier stated that he felt that the County should maintain such a road as it goes to a County Park, and that the Village should not have to maintain a road built to serve people of the entire County and State. Mr. Dennis Houle stated that he felt the Council should go on record as prefering a road on the dividing line as the proposed road would go thru residential dis- tricts and the Centerville Council had accepted the proposal on George Gotwald's recommendation, but W. Houle had talked with Mr. Gotwald and found that he had told them not to accept the road. Also, Mr. Houle felt we shouldn't benefit one man so much. L'Allier felt that we would be helping ourselves and others by gaining access to the Park and that current trends in land development favor developing land around lakeshore so that the motoring public can see the lake. There was some discussion. Al Ross stated that at one time Mr. LaMotte agreed to give the land on the line but had apparently changed his mind. It was decided to wait for Mr. Gotwald to return from vacation and get his opinion at the next meeting before giving Mr. Torkildson an answer. Mr. Dupre inquired about a decision on the Flanagan garage. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had looked at the property and suggested that the garage be moved back about 20 feet so that it would line up with the other building and that the walls be brought together, thus bringing the one eave off the fence -line and allowing more parking area. Mrs. Flanagan stated that the garage had been set forward so that it could be seen from the highway as it is to be a showcase for snowmobiles. Mr. Bohjanen moved to table the matter until the Fire Marshall and the rest of the Council members have studied the garage further. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried.
