Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 160, Declare Adequacy of Petition and Order Preparation of Feasibility Report, 21st Street Improvement - Mr. Ahrens stated that Mr. Gerald Rehbein has petitioned the City to construct sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and street to serve his property. A map was provided illustrating Mr. Rehbein's property boundaries. Mr. Ahrens explained that this portion of the City is exempt from the Lino Lakes City Charter and, therefore, the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 will apply. If adopted, Resolution No. 97 - 160 will allow for the preparation of a feasibility report which will provide a detailed review of extending sanitary sewer and watermain along the 21st Street alignment from Cedar Street to Main Street as well as installing street and storm sewer from Main Street to approximately 900 feet south of Main Street. Mayor Landers expressed concern about use of the proposed improvements by a neighboring city without compensation to Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher stated that a joint powers agreement should result in an agreeable compromise.

Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 163, Declare Intent to Bond, Lake Drive Trunk Utilities, and Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction - Mr. Ahrens explained that the City of Lino Lakes is required by the Internal Revenue Service to declare its intent to reimburse project costs from bond proceeds prior to encumbering such costs. City Council action is necessary to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 163 for this purpose. Mr. Ahrens reminded Council that the City recently ordered the Lake Drive Trunk Utilities Project and Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project, which may be financed through bond proceeds.

Council was provided with the amount proposed for bonding. Mr. Ahrens pointed out that in the event the City does not adopt this resolution, it will be required to secure alternate methods to finance this project.
