I9 Mr. Bob Olson asked how one went about getting the gas company to proceed further with their lines. He was told to contact Mr. Blaylock, our liaison to the company. The Clerk read a letter from Harold Braastad stating that we will have to be moved out of the Hall building by Sept. 1, 1969. Mr. Ken Rehbein stated that at the time he had sold the building to Mr. Braastad, he hadn't indicated that he intended to take over so soon. There was discussion on getting the sizes and costs for a new building by the next meeting and trying to get title to an acre or so of the property now being purchased. The Park Board minutes were read July 21st. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Parks Dept. purchase a Lawn Boy mower, 21" self - propelled, for the price of $115.00. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski then stated that he had done much checking on prices, etc., and had been told to stay away from the small garden tractor variety - -12 h.p. or so. He had received two prices on an International Cub Low -Boy tractor: Peron Motors: $2000; another dealer had given the price of $1800 for both tractor and 60" mower. The engine is 16 h.p. water - cooled. After some discussion on type and price of tires, Mr. Jaworski moved to table the matter until next time. Seconded by Mr, Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had no report as he was on vacation. Mr. L'Allier stated that he was still receiving complaints on Leo Bruder. Mr. West had stated that Mr. Bruder had sold 4 of his routes; that he had taken out 3 loads of trash on Friday and Saturday, that he would now have 1 day a week off to continue cleaning up the place. However, Mr. West could notice no difference in the appear- ance of the place. Mr. Jaworski said that Mr. Myhre had stated that when he inspected the place he had thought it well cleaned up. Mr. Locher noted that a complaint would have to be signed before the matter could be taken to court. Mr. Locher was asked about the new $300 limit on municipal fines and stated that the ordinances must be amended in order to change the fines from $100 to $300. Mr. Bohjanen thought that Mr. Bruder should be asked to come before the Council again. Mr. L'Allier said that he has had more than ample time to clean up and that the Council has been lenient. Mr. Jaworski moved that the police officers sign a complaint on August 15th if Mr. Bruder has not cleaned up by then. There was no second to the motion. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the County Association would meet in Coon Rapids on Wed., July 30th, at 5 p.m. to review all sub - committee work, to give the definite responsibilities of same, to compose a resolution to Metro Council on the NW Airlines action, to discuss the elimination of the tax - exempt status of municipal bonds, and suggesting Commissioner Al Kordiak for a position on the Metro Council Open Space Board. Mr. L'Allier moved that Lino Lakes pass a resolution to be sent to the State Legislators asking that they defeat the pending legislation suggesting that the exemptions be removed from municipal bonds as we feel that this would be detri- mental to the existence of communities since the lower rates and exempt status of municipal bonds is a simple prerequisite to their survival. If we had to pay the same interest as the rest of the market, we would receive no bids on our bonds. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried.
