114 Mr. L'Allier then appointed Mr. Bohjanen as the Acting Mayor. Mr. Cardinal moved to ratify the appointment. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried with Mr. Bohjanen abstaining. Mr. Cardinal mentioned that the hearing for the DX Sunray Station would be com- ing up on January 15 at the Next P&Z meeting. Mr. Jaworski reportedthat the next Park Board meeting would be on January 20th. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that he had received complaints on the freeway signs nam- ing the exit into Lexington and Circle Pines as Lake Drive as neither calls Old Highway 8 by that name. Apparently people looking for ether Lexington or Circle Pines end up in Lino Lakes lost. Mr. Rosengren stated that the Highway Depart- ment is working on this. Mr. Al Ross mentioned that if the three communities would get together on this they could get it changed. Mr. Bohjanen agreed to work with Lexington and Circle Pines to either invite someone from the Highway Depart- ment out or to draft a letter. Mr. Jaworski complained about excessive snow on the freeway bridge on Highway 8, but was assured that the snow had just been removed. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had completely looked through the Minnesota Plumbing Code as well as to talk with two master plumbers and recommended that Lino Lakes adopt the Minnesota Plumbing Code by reference. Mr. L'Allier gave the copy to Mr. Cardinal to take before the Planning and Zoning Board for consideration. Mr. Cardinal will check on fees, etc. Mr. Rosengren stated that parents should keep their children from making houses in the high snowbanks along the roads as they could be blocked into the same by the plows going by. Also, several persons were pushing snow from their driveways into the streets; this is illegal under a state statute as well as Village Ordinance # 3. "Snowbirds" will be towed away under the nuisance ordinance. Complaints had been received from snowmobilers cutting farmers fences. Bob Raymond, a self- confessed snowmobile enthusiast, stated that it was only a small handfull who were causing the trouble; these will get over doing such things when the thrill wears off, and an ordinance won't help any. Any violaters can be prosecuted under the state law if they can be caught and identified. Mr. Rosengren stated that the Village needs some new road equipment, particularly a pickup and a bigger dump truck. Mr. Wahl and associate from the RCPA were again present to answer any questions. Mr. Rosengren had appraised the park property and thought that $1000.00 would be a fair amount for damages from the company for running the line over the park. Mr. Wahl thought that this would be a fair amount as did Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Locher had received copies fo the easement to be signed. The Clerk will send one copy to the Engineer for his consideration on a motion by Mr. Bohjanen, seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Clerk will contact RCPA after the Engineer reports on the easement. Mr. Scherer mentioned that Roseville had signed an easement with NSP with a stipulation that lines would go underground within 10 years. Mr. Locher reported that he had received a letter from Mr. Christoffersen, attorney for the Roland Johnsons, stating that they would appeal the decision to the State Supreme Court, and asking that the Village waive the appeal bond. Mr. Rosengren moved that Lino Lakes defend the appeal, of the Rolland Johnsons vs. Lino Lakes stand as we are, and authorize the attorney to proceed with the preparation of the defense to the Supreme Court. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Vote: No - -Mr. Bohjanen, the rest Aye. Carried.
