The Clerk reported that the affidavits of publishing had been received for Ordinance No. 24A and for the notice of filing of affidavits of candidacy for election. A DATA -log from the MetEo Council had been received showing the estimated population for Lino Lakes as of April 1, 1969 to be 3,409. Lists of candidates for election judges for the November 4th election had been received from both the DFL and GOP. These were passed around. Mr. Locher stated that 8 judges would be needed as based upon a minimum of 3 plus 1 for each 150 voters at the last election. The Clerk stated that only one shift of judges would be needed since the ballot counting wouldn't take much more than two hours for a local election; also, the judges seemed quite willing to put in the long hours. A letter from NSP was read which gave revised provisions for the charges to be made for underground installation of lines in new residential districts. The monthly charge would be $2.00 per customer for not more than 30 years from date of instal- lation; or the customer could make a non - refundable contribution of $220.00. Re- vised rate schedules effective Sept. 15 were also enclosed. Mr. L'Allier stated that this was a ridiculous proposal; other companies didn't charge customers for installation of underground lines. He felt there was no reason why NSP should come back on the small man for 30 years for this. Mr. L'Allier stated he would per- sonally contact the public service department of NSP on the matter. A letter from the Metropolitan Housing Council supporting the charge by NSP was then read. They feel that NSP's charge is less than if the contractors themselves owned the lines and installed them. Its president, Mr. Laukka, felt that the $2.00 per month surcharge would be reduced in the next few years and eventually eliminated. Mr. L'Allier noted that they miss one obvious thing; that the maintenance costs are reduced by using underground lines. The statement that the charge will be eliminated doesn't add up.
