was called to order by Chairman Glenn Rehbein. Members present were:
Glenn Rehbein, Roy Stanley, Henry Heckenlaible, Ken Bryant, Duane Klepe1.
Minutesof the previous meeting were read and approved. Glenn asked for a
report from the Council. Lindy Cardinal reported that Mr. Roy Stanley was
appointed to fill the vacancy.
A group representing the American Telephone and Telegraph Company was then
asked to present their proposal for construction of a relay tower within
Lino Lakes. Present were Mr. H. Johnin.„1110@aiklin, Chris Linn attorneys
and lawyers representing A.T. T. They reported that the test proved that the
site was ussiable and that the 165 ft. high tower would complete the length
between Wyoming, Minn. and St. Paul. This would provide another path for
the relay of television, telephone and other signals into our area. The
transmission would be at the 426 kilomegacycle range. They stressed the
importance and difficulty of finding agood location which would provide a clear
path for the microwave team. A photo was passed around showing the tower and
building. This building will be 42 x 24 feet, one story concrete construction.
The approximate cost of building andtower is,$100,000. The total land involved
is 2. 1111 acres adjoining the SAaohing on County line. The area surrounding the
building and tower would be fenced in and maintained. The rest of the land is
to be used by adjoining property owners for pasture and the like. The Chairman
asked for questions or comments from the audience. There were none at the time.
Village Attorney Locher asked several questions. In answer to these questions
the representatives of AT &T replied (34 They would pay a gross earnings tax
to the county (2) The tower is built to withstand 135 mph winds (3)The resident
could be assured that there would be no interference with local TV reception
or any other form of communication resulting from the presence of the micro
wave tower. This is mainly because of the extremely high frequency at which
the relay tower operates far above any of our local TV or radio frequencies..

Also, the relay tower operates on a narrow beam line of eight principle.
Ken Bryant, who also questioned the possibility of interference was further
assured that none would result; rather this tower would help minimize
interrupted TV pictures due to network failure because it would provide
another path in the event of the failure of an existing link.
Klepel questioned whether the village would have to grant permission before
such changes as additional height to antenna and the like could be performed.
The attorneys answered "Yes ".
Glenn asked why the name of the tower was to be "Centerville Tower" rather
than Lino Tower. The AT &T representatives replied that the FCC assigned the
names and they had no control over this. It was moved by !r. Heckenlaible and
seconded by Mr. Bryant to recommend that the council grant a special use
permit to the AT &T for construction of this tower. In discussion Ralph
L'Allier and other in the audience thought the tower should be named "Lino
Tower." Motion carried. Attorney Locher further requested the AT&T appear
before the council at their next meeting, presenting an exact legal description
of the land. They also should apply for building permit.
In other business discussion was held on street planning and village zoning.
It was decided to hold a special meeting Thurs. Mar. 30 for working on planning
maps. Building Inspector Al Dupre reported that a trailer house permit on
Hiway 8 was past the 90 day limit and that no construction had as yet started on
a home. After discussion the Bldg. Insp. was advided to keep in contact with
the situation tad use his best judgment and follow legal action ifnecessary.
Ken Bryant questioned ifa person should be appointed to represent us at
Planning District II but was informed District II had performed its work and
that astudy for which we paid should be forthcoming. A discussion was held
on being able to have our own postal identity to help promote the village.
