Sarner, City Clerk Special Council Meeting January 14, 1984 The Special Meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 9:10 A.M., January 14, 1984 by Mayor Benson with all Council members present. Mr. Schumacher was also present. 1984 -1986 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS Mr. Schumacher re- capped the previous discu ssion on the use of these funds, noting some additional allowable uses he had included on the memo, and reminded the Council that any areas where this money is used must benefit low and moderate income persons. He had also included the suggestion of hiring a coordinator to assist in the organization of the Seniors. Mr. Schumacher reported that he had &iscussed this idea with other Senior Centers and they had felt the suggested 20 hours per week would be sufficient. The general consensus of these Centeres was that assistance is needed by the Seniors to get the programs established. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the request from Alexandra House for $3000.00 for 1984. Also, the parking lot, lighting, landscaping, kitchen, for the Senior Center - these items would cost approximately $20,000/$25,000. There was discussion as to the time a coordinator would be needed, the tasks that would be performed by that position. The Council felt the completion of the Center was the most impocrtant item, the programs, coordinator and other items could be worked in as needed and funds allow. Mayor Benson suggested approximately $32,000 for the SEnior Center over the next three (3) years and use the remaining amount of the funds in conjunction with the proposed trunk sewer for the Rice Lake Estates. 163 Special Council Meeting January 14, 1984 Mr. Schumacher noted that he had discussed the funding with Spring Lake Park and they would like the majority of the funds in the first year. The remaining communities have agreed to take their amounts in the third year. If this method of splitting the funds is used, this would allow approximately $20,000 to Lino Lakes in the first year and the remaining amount in the second year. After much discussion on the various aspects of this, Mr. Marier moved that the 1984 allotment of $32,000 be applied for and $3000 of these funds be allocated to the Alexandra House, the remaining amount to be used for parking lot, lighting, landscaping, kitchen, etc., for com- pletion as far as the money will go on the Senior Center. The remaining years allotment to be used in conjunction with the trunk sewer line for Rice Lake Estates. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Mr. Reinert asked how this would be implemented and Mr. Schumacher said he would write a grant application to Anoka County setting forth the items as specified in the motion. Mr. Schumacher asked if this was to include the coordinator? He pointed out this could be deleted, but not added. The Council agreed this should be included in the grant application. Motion carried uannimously. Mr. Marier had a question on the $30,000.00 that had been included in the budget for this building. Mayor Benson felt the $30,000.00 in the budget had been allocated for the completion of the Council Chambers. He suggested this be discussed at the next Council meeting. SQUAD CAR BIDS Mr. Reinert asked if accepting a bid in this manner was legal and Mr. Schumacher said that it was. Mayor Benson asked how soon this car would have to be paid for? He felt this is a very good bid and thought this City should order two cars under this bid. There was discussion on the time frame in which another car would be needed. Mayor Benson suggested ordering the two cars and put one on hold for usage until needed. There was also discussion of staggering the delivery date and the payment date. Mr. Marier volunteered to discuss these points with the dealer. Mr. Bohjanen moved to order one squad car and to authorize Mr. Marier to negoti. ate with the dealer for the purchase of the second car under this same bid— Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz.

There is a thirty day waiting period before any further action can be taken by this Council. If there are major areas of concern, then an EIS must be done by the developer. There was discussion of historical sites - is there any problems in this area? Mr. Schumacher said, on private property, the preservation of these sites can be requested, but there is no law to enforce this requirement. Mr. Marier moved to approve the EAW for Rice Lake Estates and forward to the appropriate agencies. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously.
