The Clerk inquired whether a three - member Health Board would be appointed as indicated by a letter from the State Board of Health. Mayor L'Allier asked for volunteers; there were none.

Mr. Locher reported that a section of the books, Northwest Reports, had gone to the County Court. He will try to price these items for sale by contacting the Marvin Company, dealing in such items.

Mr. Bohjanen stated that we should adopt an ordinance instituting voter registration. However, Mr. Locher read from Statute 201.02 which stated that voter registration may be instituted by either ordinance or resolution. Mr. Bohjanen then moved that Voter Registration be instituted in Lino Lakes by intent of resolution. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. 119 The Clerk requested a private line for the Hall telephone as new persons on the present eight party line were giving trouble. The monthly rate for same would come to $20.75. Mr. L'Allier stated that it was worth the investment to have the phone for use by businessment. Mr. Cardinal moved to have a private phone installed in the Village Hall. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski.

The hearings were set on February 19 before the Planning Board and on February 24 before the Council, both at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Dielentheis stated that a list of some 200 proposed names for streets in the whole development would be submitted to the Council for their approval. The Clerk was instructed to send a copy of this list to each member of the Planning Board. Mr. Dielentheis will provide the necessary copies. He also stated that the Uniform Building Code standards would be used in all their buildings. Mr. Dielentheis agreed to have an agreement regarding the park area drawn up.

Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. I Mr. Cardinal stated that he had nothing definite yet to report on the Minnesota Plumbing Code, but that Mr. Jester would report his findings to the next P&Z meeting. Mr. Bohjanen took issue with the statement in the P&Z minutes re- garding the qualifications of a plumbing inspector; he wondered whether the same restrictions as to conflict of interest and competition shouldn't also apply to the building inspector and others. Mr. Cardinal mentioned a man living in White Bear Township who does only inspection work, having quit the actual plumbing. Mrs. Harold Speis of 565 Marshan Lane asked the Council for approval to do beauty work in her basement, the approval being necessary to obtain her beauty operator's license. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt e resolution that a letter be sent to Mrs. Speis authorizing her to operate a beauty shop in her basement. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Crystall Ahlman, saleswoman for North- Northeast Realty, approached the council on the idea of showing more support for the Ham Lake site for the new airport. She asked that someone on the Council accompany her to the next hearing on Feb- ruary 10 to boost the area. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he would try to make it. Mrs. Ahlmann also mentioned persons whom she stated are interested in developing 1) a trailer park in the proposed industrial site and 2) an industrial park on Tilsen's corner; these persons want to know how the Council feels about such pro- jects and about bringing in sewer and water. Mr. Bohjanen thought it wouldn't be long before the Legislature acts on bringing ,sewer into the Youth Center. Per- sons wishing to bring in sewer or water should petition the council to initiate action. The Park Board minutes were read. Mr. Jaworski inquired about the Baldwin Lake Mobile Home Park having a definite area set aside for park use, whether they must furnish the equipment and maintain same or the Village maintain. Mr. Locher read from Ordinance 39 stating that such a park area must be established and maintained by the owners; this does not necessarily mean that the park must be outfitted by the owners. Mr. Cardinal will take the matter before the Planning Board. The Park Board feels that the area badly needs park area. However, if this is to be a public park then the Village would have to maintain roads into it. If private, then only children living in the Court could use it. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Engineer be allowed to attend the next Park Board meeting on February 17 to work with them on the development of long and short- range plans, this to be ready in 90 days. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Attorney check with the attorney for the St. Paul Water Department to obtain a 99 -year lease on the Baldwin Lake property for the price of $].00(one dollar). Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried. Mr. Locher will also check on the lease for the Centerville Lake Park. Mr. Gotwald's letter regarding the easement for RCPA of Elk River across the Lino Bark was read. Mr. Gotwald's opinion was that the easement was for the entire park area. After study, Mr. Locher agreed that the Engineer was right, and that the easement should define a specific line within that description. The Clerk was instructed to write to RCPA stating that it was our observation that the easement should contain a specific line with a specific width on each side thereof III for the power line; also that the easement should specify theminimum distance that the line would hang above the property. • ') Mr. Jaworski stated that the Personnel Commission had approved the application of Richard Hauer for the position of assistant constable. His had been the only ap- plication received. After discussion of the length of training and the fact that Mr. Hauer doesn't live within the Village limits although he plans on building here, Mr. Bohjanen moved that we accept Mr. Richard Steven Hauer in the position of As- sistant Constable on a training basis, this to take effect as soon as the report of the Personnel Commission is received by the Clerk; Mr. Hauer will start drawing pay on February 1, 1969. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen submitted the following list of names as members of the Community and Business Development Commission for 1969: Mrs. Naomi Zelinka, Mrs. Julia Faymoville, Mrs. Audrey Tauer, Mrs. Vivian Rehbein, Mrs. Phyllis Blaylock, Mssrs. Harold Hansen, John Wright, Charles Gottwaldt, Irvin Zastrow, William Houle, Carlo Sooger, Richard Carlson, Jerome Hauer, Harold Lehman, Kenneth Rehbein, Lee Robinson and Eugene Biom- quist. Several members had dropped out. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he and Commissioner Burman had met to look over Lot 2, Block 4, Lexington Park- Lakeview for the purpose of establishing a fair price. Mr. Burman will _submit a selling price of $1.00for the lot, to be used as a ponding area, to the County Board. Mr. Bohjanen also stated that he had talked with neighboring mayors and a Blaine Councilman regarding the exit signs on 35N. Lexington and Circle Pines have sent in a resolution asking for their Village names on an exit sign. The majority still felt that a meeting would be beneficial. Mr. Rosengren reported that the trucks had been kept busy plowing snow and that they were out of sand until the supplier gets more. Mr. Rosengren moved that $150.00 worth of hand tools be purchased for the shop, including 1/2" and 3/4" socket sets, to be kept in a locked box. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Rosengren will shop around for used items. Mr. Rosengren also stated that a new tandem truck and plow would be needed by next winter. He also felt that the Council should once again consider hiring a full -time man for the roads. Mr. Rosengren inquired whether the Council wished to acquire the Twitchell Cemetery and maintain same. This will be considered later. Mr. Rosengren had located a used IBM typewriter at Fran Shaeffer Realty on Highway 65. The Clerk was asked to take a look at it. Mr. Rosengren also asked about buying the land on which we have an option since it is not necessary to put it on the ballot. The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Bob Martin of Springsted, Inc. to ask him to bring bond issue material on Village Halls to thenext meeting. Mr. L'Allier mentioned an Anoka Association of Municipalities meeting on Wednesday in Coon Rapids with Dean Lund discussing tax disparties in the Metro area. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the police car was deteriorating rapidly and that a new one would be needed within three months. Mr. West will get specifications from Circle Pines. The Clerk was asked to gather the necessary information on police car depreciation as soon as possible so that a bill can be submitted to the Legislature. Mr. West reported that a good used 357 magnum revolver could be purchased from the Great North Trading Post for $50.00 difference on the old one. Mr. L'Allier moved that this purchase be made. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. 122 According to Attorney General's opinion 412.191 the Council can authorize expense money for themselves. Mr. Cardinal then moved that an additional $5.00 per month be added onto the Councilmen's paychecks monthly to reim- burse out -of- pocket expenses, this having been allowed for at budget time. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. There was discussion of the County's bill for salt, sand, culverT etc. Mr. Rosengren said that it still was not completely straightened out, but that he would be going up soon to discuss it again.
