Mr. Gotwald stated that the residents should petition for road work for which they are willing to pay. Mr. L'Allier asked that Mr. Gotwald estimate the cost of gravelling Orange and Maple streets and the cost of fixing the drainage in the area. Mr. Bohjanen asked what the cost of time spent on the Youth Center had come to. Copies of the report as finally tabulated will be sent to the Council. Mr. Rosengren stated that he had been tabulating the necessary expenditures on the new building and equipment as thus: $40,000 for the building and $35,000 for the equipment (including a new police car, pickup truck or something similar and a tractor with a broom.) The cost of a metal building runs between $5-$10 per square foot. Building costs in general have gone up about 20 per cent in the last year. The Clerk was instructed to invite representatives from Butler Brothers and another firm to talk to the Council in May. The option on the 30 acres is to be taken in June. Mr. Gotwald showed literature on the Torrent drainage pump, advising that the Village buy one before the flooding begins. The cost would be $395.00 for the 3 1/2 hp pump. Mr. Locher reported that he would check further on the workmen's compensation policy as it seems firemen have been listed therein and charged for. He had not been able to net with Mr. Siegle on the lease of land on Baldwin Lake.

Mileage for the month was 1558 miles. The resolution drawn up by the Anoka County Association of Municipalities re- garding the Ham Lake site choice by the MAC to be approved by the Metro Council was read. Mr. Rosengren moved that the Council approve the resolution and authorize Mr. L'Allier to vote in favor of the resolution at the Association meeting this week. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk was instructed to correct the resolution pertaining to the gross income tax legislative.proposal; the figure should be 1 1/4 % rather than 1 1/2%. Mr. L'Allier.reported that Rep. Vern Plaisance would submit our claim for Youth Center work to the Claims Committee. Mr. L'Allier then submitted a list of legislative bills on which the Anoka County Association was going to take a stand and asked for authorization to vote either for or against same: 1) metro sewer bill, #-335, H--237, forming a 7-man appointed board, abolishing NSSSD, etc. Mr. L'Allier then moved that he be authorized to vote against the bill. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. 2) Elective Council, H-757 & H-862; to which they were opposed as it didn't give enough representation for the suburbs and gave too much for the Metro area. Mr. L'Allier then moved that Lino Lakes oppose this bill. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried.
