Mr. Locher stated again that no funds could be transferred out of the Debt Redemption Fund until such time as all bonds are paid off. Then the re- mainder is automatically transferred to the General Fund. He will check further. W. L'Allier mentioned the informal meetings which the Council had had on Sept- ember 5 and October first with the Planning and Zoning Board in working on an over all rezoning map of the Village. No formal action was taken. The matter of Lindberg Construction on 64th came up again; the estimated cost of repair is $150. Mr. Gotwald, stated that he had talked to former Supervisor LaForge and talked by phone directly to a Michigan representative of the firm. Mr. Locher stated that he had notified the firm that if we do the work they will be billed, however he had not been given the exact specifications for the repair and could not put it in the letter. After discussion Mr. L'Allier moved that we will not release any bonds for Lindberg until such bill is paid. Mr. Locher will notify the proper official of Lindberg to receive process served. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Dupre stated that he had inspected the sewage problem on the properties on Otter Lake and found that these persons were notlocated in Lino Lakes but were 5-6 blocks over the boundary. Mr. Cardinal moved that we send a letter to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency telling them of the inspection and results thereof. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Jaworski brought up the subject of the hearing on the full-time man and grader and mentioned that the representative from Geo. T. Ryan Company was in the audience. There was considerable discussion. W. Locher read over several State laws per- taining to purchase and lease agreements by Villages and decided that it would be necessary to take bids yearly on a lease-type basis with option to buy. Mr. Jaworski at this time withdrew a motion to lease a grader from Geo. T. Ryan Co. and hire a man to operate it. Mr. Glenn Rehbein stated several objections to the Village leasing such a machine and doubted that they could find an operator willing to work for $8500. Mr. Jaworski then moved that we take bids on a grader on a lease-type basis with option to buy. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Vote: Aye--Mr. Jaworski and Mr. L'Allier. No--Mr. Cardinal, W. Rosengren, and W. Bohjanen. Motion failed. W. L'Allier thanked the Ryan representative for coming and his time, and also thanked Mr. Scherer and W. Houle for all their work on the project. W. Rosengren left the meeting to catch a plane. The discussion on horses on roads was resumed. Mr. L'Allier thought a little "common horse-sense" would apply here. W. Locher mentioned that our nuisance ordinance is adequate if the person causing trouble can be caught or positively identified, also there are penalties foritesspassing and malicious damage. Mr. Lee Robinson thought horses should be ridden on their owners property only. Mr. Dale Hughes mentioned that members of his saddle club were expected to enforce rules among other riders. After discussion the common concensus of the Council was that horse people must police themselves; if a situation gets out of hand then a complaint should be signed with the local police so that necessary action can be taken. The audience seemed to feel this was logical. Mr. Dennis Houle stated that the post on the Forest Lake Hospital Board was that of incumbent Richard Peterson, at-large member. Filing is open on this post until October 24th. Mr. Houle also stated that he had tried to keep the mill levy the same as there was not enough, funds in the sinking fund to carry the bonds for 15 months as required by law; however the levy had been dropped resulting in a levy for Lino of less than four mills.
