85 Mr. L'Allier stated that there apparently is some misunderstanding betweeen members of the Corrections Department as other personnel had stated that the capacity was set at 50, plus 14 cells which are not considered permanent hous- ing, for 93"Building, until a new recreation building is completed. Mr. L'Allier stated that he had spoken to Gary Flakne in regards to this problem as well as the possibility of being reimbursed for the money spent in catching escapees. Mr. Flakne gave two avenues to follow: 1) to directly petition the state for reimbursement or 2) provide necessary data to the Representatives and Senators concerned and ask them to draw up a bill for reimbursement which they seem willing to do. Mr. Bohjanen also recommended that a set capacity on the number of persons to be housed at the Youth Center be included in the bill as this was done for Red Wing. He would also like to see some stringent measures for security added in. Mr. L'Allier was questioned on plans of the Youth Center Committee for the Youth Center but stated that when the group was finished they would give the public the whole program rather than doling it out piece-meal. A letter from Mrs. Mary Howard of Capital Mobile Homes was read. She had planned to start work in the Baldwin Lake Trailer Court by October first and felt that there was so much work to be done in renovating the old portion that she wouldn't even think of beginning the new lots until spring. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that a new manager had moved into the house and this should improve the maintenance fiWthe Court. A letter from Northwestern Bell Telephone Company requesting permission to build a pedestal for a line was read. Motion by Mr. Bohjansi, seconded by Mr. Rosengren, to refer the letter to the Engineer for his approval was carried uannimoubly. A note from Mr. Lundheim of the County Highway Department regarding the land fill contamination in Circle Pines was read, stating the materials being dumped were sterile; also it was ditch No. 10. A letter from the Metro Council was read stating that they are making a prelim- inary investigation of data received to see if it may be feasible for discharge of sewage from Oneka and Hugo into the White Bear Lake system. Mr. dotwald stated that he had attended a second meeting of the Council as authorized; the Council will be calling on us for data. A policy stetment from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding sewage treatment for Forest Lake was read. Forest Lake was directed to study the possibilities of land application on sites to the south or southwest of the Village; they were recommended to not discharge their effluent to the Sunrise River. If necessary, perhaps increased discharge to the Rice Creek chain would be allowed if additional treatment works were constructed. The list of State and County offices being voted on November 5 was received from the County Auditor and will be posted. Mr. Rosengren presented a letter received from Dick Swanson, Ag. Agent for Anoka County, requesting Lino Lakes' official position regarding the Rice Creek Water- shed. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that he had received a request from the Watershed Association requesting a change in our policy. The Clerk was instructed to send a copy of our current resolution to Mr. Swanson. Mr. Rosengren also mentioned that the damage to the culvert on Fourth Avenue by the Telephone Company had not been repaired.
