CONSIDERATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT EXCLUDED BINGO, LINO LAKES ELEMENTARY PAB The Lino Lakes Elementary School located on Main Street has an active parent group. This group conducts two (2) major gambling events each year to raise money for such things as playground equipment. Since the Minnesota Gambling Statutes allow a non- profit group to be excluded from obtaining a license if they conduct fewer that five (5) gambling events per year, the City Council is also asked to approve the exemption. Council Member Neal moved to allow the exemption. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. RECEIVE BIDS FOR FOURTH AVENUE TRUNK UTILITY IMPROVEMENT The Fourth Avenue trunk utility improvement project involves the construction of trunk sanitary sewer and watermain along Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street to serve the Behm's Century Farm subdivision.

On January 8, 1996, the plans and specifications were approved and the advertisement for bids was ordered. Ten bids were received and opened on Wednesday, February 21, 1996. Staff requested the Council to adopt a motion accepting the bids. The award of the contract will occur at a future Council meeting. Council Member Lyden said that the term "apparent low bid" was noted on the bid sheet. He asked if there was a problem with the bids. Mr. Ahrens said that the term "apparent low bid" terminology is used until there is an actual award.
