CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 48
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Chief John Swenson
MEETING DATE: March 12, 2012
TOPIC: Lino Lakes Participation in Anoka County All Hazard Mitigation
Plan
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City of Lino Lakes approved participation in the Anoka County All- Hazard Mitigation
Plan process in 2003 which led to the FEMA approval of the county -wide plan in 2007. The
plan must be reviewed, updated and re- approved every 5 years. We are requesting the city
council approval to remain a part of the Anoka County plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lino Lakes has historically worked with other cities in Anoka County as well as
the county itself in addressing the needs that present themselves when disaster strikes. In 2003
the city passed a resolution entering into a formal All Hazard Mitigation Planning Process with
Anoka County. This process is designed to specifically identify potential hazards, their effects
if lost, and possible mitigation steps that may be taken to minimize their loss or the effects of
their loss.
In 2007 a plan was officially approved and has since been reviewed and updated by all those
entities involved. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) requires this
plan to be reviewed and approved every 5 years. One of the steps in this approval is that each of
the participating cities must re- approve their involvement in the plan. In order for a city to
receive federal disaster assistance they must have an approved All- Hazard Mitigation plan. By
approving our involvement in the Anoka County plan, we will have met this federal
requirement. This is also a requirement for the city of Lino Lakes to be eligible for various
FEMA grants that may come up that would be utilized for mitigation projects.
Approval to participate in the ongoing plan does not restrict the city from developing one
independently, nor does it prevent the city from applying for grants independent of other Anoka
County government entities. Approval of the plan provides an avenue to define strategies and
resources to address the effects of a disaster, and it is drafted and designed with the agencies
and personnel we would most likely utilize in the event a disaster strikes Lino Lakes.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution affirming the City of Lino Lakes will remain a part of the Anoka
• County All- Hazard Mitigation Plan.

City of Lino Lakes
Lino Lakes is located in the southeast corner of Anoka County, Minnesota, has an elevation of 880 feet
and covers an area of 33 square miles on the north side of the Twin Cities in Anoka County at Latitude
45.17 N and Longitude 93.10 W. The pristine 2,700 - acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
Reserve is situated within the heart of the city, guaranteeing the area will maintain its natural settings
and habitats for wildlife for years to come.
When the first settlers arrived in the area, Native Americans had already been making their home in the
area where Reshanau, Baldwin, Rice and Marshan Lakes cluster. The Dakota Indians found this to be a
land of plenty with wild rice and an abundance of small game. Today, several Indian burial grounds are
still located in the area.
White hunters and trappers began coming to this area from both Canada and the eastern states around
1850. Those who settled on the west side of the lake had names like Ramsden, Speiser and Wenzel.
Families including the Cardinals, LaMottes, Houles and Dupres settled the east side of the lake. Many of
their descendants still live in the area today.
The first unit of local government in the area was the township of Centerville. It was organized August
11, 1857 and encompassed an area of 36 square miles. The population was less than 300 persons and
organized into three loosely knit communities known as the "German settlement" west of the lakes, the
"Swede settlement" south of the lakes, and the "French settlement" east of the lakes.
In the 1950s neighboring villages started annexing land away from Centerville Township. To protect the
boundaries and allow for the financing of public improvements, the residents of the township voted to
incorporate into a village. Several names were suggested for the new village, and most contained the
word "lakes." Although the origin of the word "Lino" is unknown, a Lino post office operated for about
10 years in the late 1800s. The town board decided to name the new village "Lino Lakes."
On May 11, 1955, the new Village of Lino Lakes was incorporated. The village covered the original
Centerville Township, with the exception of the Village of Centerville. At incorporation, the new village
was comprised of 21,000 acres of land, and 1,800 citizens. In 1972, the State Legislature passed a law
changing all Minnesota villages to cities, hence Lino Lakes' current status.

Lino Lakes
Lino Lakes contains the 3,600 -acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve including 13 lakes
and several seasonal wetlands. Within the City there is 3,580 acres of public lands. This includes a
2,646 -acre regional park, and churches, schools, city offices, public works facility and a fire station.
Within the City, there are nearly 160 acres of public parks, and 62 acres of school district property. Due
to the amount of wetlands, approximately one -third of the City will not be developed.
Two State Highways run through the City of Lino Lakes, Highway 35E and Highway 35W. Lino Lakes has
four schools, Blue Heron Elementary, Lino Lakes Elementary, Rice Lake Elementary and Centennial
Middle School. Additionally, there is Abiding Branches Corporation ABC Pre - School and Pat -a -Cake
Daycare. Fairview -Lino Lakes Clinic and North Suburban Clinic serve as the local clinics. Connexus
Energy, Xcel Energy and Minnegasco provide the area's power (electricity) needs. Lino Lakes is a Charter
City, with a City Administrator and a five person Council.
Within the City of Lino Lakes there is a county public golf course, Chomonix. Lino Lakes has two private
airport facilities, the Hansen Sea Plane Base and the Lino Lakes Airpark.
The City of Lino Lakes continues to see high growth in its industrial and commercial sectors due primarily
to the City's efforts in establishing and promoting new industrial and commercial areas at both of the
City's freeway interchanges. This will allow the City to define the community's image. The availability of
vacant land, municipal utilities, and freeway access each are strong amenities that will allow Lino Lakes
to compete for future economic development. New development has occurred with the extension of
sanitary sewer and municipal water.
Between 1991 and 2004, the City has added 995,000 square feet of industrial space and between 1996
and 2004, 425,000 square feet in commercial /retail space. The Lino Lakes Town Center, once completed
will add nearly 250,000 square feet in new commercial /retail space.

and 35W and Lake Dr interchange.

over the next 20 years.
Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: There are many planned infrastructure projects. The
freeways physically divide the City, preventing connections between different portions of the City. The
City has identified a need to provide convenient pedestrian and automobile connections throughout the
community in order to establish a unified community identity. A future interchange location has been
identified at 80th Street and I -35E. A new bridge will be constructed at 35W and 80th Street. The City will
be constructing new City wells within the next 10 years. For utilities, the City will be extending sewer
and water trunk lines to facilitate residential development.
