Mr. L'Allier announced that the next meeting of the Anoka County Assn. of Munici- palities would be on August 20th at Coon Rapids. They will review committees to study the possibilities of combining or expanding them. Mr. Locher had no report. Mr, Leo Bruder was in the audience as requested. A report written by Police Officers West and Myhre was read, stating that everything seemed to be cleaned up and in order, that all cars were currently licensed, etc. Mr. L'Allier asked whether there was any scrap iron; Mr. Myhre stated that there was none to be seen. Mr. Bruder kept the things he needed in the shed. There was discussion on the stack of tires Mr. Bruder keeps. Mr. Bruder stated that some of the tires were new and all were in condition to be used on his trucks. Some weeks he has as many as 13-14 flats caused by driving in the dumps. Mr. Cardinal said that it had come to his attention that some of the merchandise was off of his property, to the West. Mr. Bruder stated that all of this material had been moved onto his property.

It was possible that Centerville could be temporarily hooked up to the White Bear Line following Hwy. 61, but that this would require pumping. They felt that the whole Metro Council would like to study our proposal and give a recommendation but this would take quite a while. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Lamm what Lino Lakes was to do if the Metro Council opposed a sewage treatment plant, if they also opposed individual septic systems, and if they understood that we're in no fiscal condition to put in a municipal sewer system. Mr. Lamm suggested that Lino Lakes suspend all development for two years until the Metro Council was ready for us.
