Mr. Rosengren was informed that he didn't need special authorization to purchase sand, etc. for the roads as this was considered to be included in routine maintenance. Mr. Earl Halley appeared before the Council to request that the Village dig out his ditch slightly on 20th Avenue so that he can install his culvert to his field. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Gotwald to inspect the watershed of the area and determine whether cleaning out this ditch will influence the local flow; if everything is okay, Mr. Gotwald will instruct Mr. Rosengren to dothe work, expected to take about four hours time.

" Mr. L'Allier moved to send a letter to the County Highway Department asking them to place speed limit signs along the road to the Centerville Lake Park as there have been complaints of persons speeding along there. If the County doesn't wish to comply, then the Village will install the necessary signs and bill the County. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. There was a complaint and discussion about the wet condition of 12th Avenue. Sheriff Talbot was present to discuss the proposed County policing plan. He stated that the proposal was for the last six months of the year. There would be one car in the 4- Village area 24 hours daily with either 1 or 2 men, depending on the shift. The cost for Lino Lakes would be about $7800 based on $5 per capita (3172). This rate was low compared with communities under the Ramsey County program. Local full -time personnel would be worked in, but part - time personnel are not allowed under Civil Service regulations. He considered policing of the Youth Center to be a waste of policing. The work would be mainly patrolling with some complaints and ordinance violations handled. If one of the other Villages were to cancel out of the agreement our cost would be raised slightly. The County would need to put on 2 additional cars under the agreement, one of which would also be on call to this area. Mr. Talbot wanted a definite answer immediately, but no decision was made.
