This will be for Mrs. Anderson rather than the Police Department. The replacement of the door at Sunrise was explained. Mr. Kulaszewicz felt that Mr. Mobley's resignation had been accepted effective January 1, 1980. Therer was discussion on the time that Mr. Mobley remained until the new building inspector was on duty - from the 1st of January until the 21st and the method by which he would be re- imbursed for that time. The check for Mr. Mobley is to be held until this matter is checked. If no permits from the month of January are included in this check, the Council agreed there was no problem in issuing the check as is.

No. 57A would need to be amended. Mr. Locher said as long as this is a reimbusement for expenses, the Ordinance need not be changed. The matter of the Park in Shenandoah was discussed. This is to be graded and seeded. The Park Board had requested a letter of Credit from Mr. Glenn Rehbein to insure this work is done in 1980. Mr. McLean felt the way to start was to have Mr. Rehbein attend a Council meeting. Mr. Kulaszewicz suggested that Mr. Rehbein be on the next Council agenda. Mr. Schumacher was asked to arrange this matter. Mr. Schumacher presented a copy of the investments that had been made of the $180,000.00.

Mrs. Elsenpeterfelt that in the future the City should go with a resume' or adopt a new application form since some of the questions asked on this form are illegal. The motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked that Mr. Schumacher either revise this form or else ask for a resume'. Mr. Schumacher thought, in some cases, both could be required, while in others, only an application would be necessary. The dedication of the Park in Sunset Oaks was considered. The warranty Deed had been presented at the last Council meeting. Mr. Schumacher said this had been checked and the legal description matches the location of the park. He reported there are three areas in that plat of be dedicated as parks and at this point in time, there is no definite location of the remaining two. Mr. McLean felt this was due to the fact that the Parks would be developed as the plat developed and in the direction of the development. IMr. Kulaszewicz moved to accept the deed to the tot lot in Sunset Oaks. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk is to notify the City's insurance carrier of this acquisition.

This lease is to begin January 1, 1980. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve this lease agreement with the correction of the starting date. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The proposed developer's agreement was considered. Mr. Kulaszewicz felt that something simplier could do the same job. Mayor Gourley felt a check list could be compiled and do the same job.

The matter of setting a public hearing on the issuing of $650,000.00 Industrial Revenue Bonds was next on the agenda. Mr. Merry had not arrived as yet. There was discussion on what these bonds are to be used for and how this City becomes involved. Mr. McLean felt that there is no designation of what the project is to be or haw the bonds are to be used. Mr. Merry arrived and proceeded to explain the functions of this issue. He is with Juran & Moody and that firm has been retained to arrange fin- ancing for Rite -Way Waterproofing. The plas of the company are to move out of the existing building and construct a new building of approximately 13,000 square feet. He felt this priject will be scaled down. The proposal to this City is for the City to issue a $650,000.00 single issue note. This si secured by Mortage, notes, etc. Mr. Merry explained there are four steps the City must get involved with; 1) the calling of a public hearing and must be published in two papers, ten days before the nearing and all materials msut be on file with the City before this hearing, 2) the City will need to issue a letter stating the project is feasible, 3) the Council will need to execute a Resolution giving preliminary approval of the project; 4) A Resolution giving final approval of the project. This process will take approximately 60 days. Mr. Merry outlined the nenefits to the City and to the Company. With- out this type of financing the pronect cannot be carried out. This will improve now vacant land, create a tax base for the City and create a job market. Mr. Merry emphazied the City is not responsible for any costs incurred in the project - all costs are assessed to Rite -Way Waterproofing. The City is also not responsible for the repayment of this loan. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked if a representative from the Bond Council would be February 11, 1980 63 present at the public hearing and Mr. Merry said, typically, they don not attend, but this could be arranged. Discussion f the existing buildings and what they would be used for - there are no firm plans at this time. The land to be used for the project is currently owned by the company.

There is no form of property tax abatement provided. Mayor Gourley requested a look at the plans before the public hearing. This could be done at the February 28, 1980 meeting to discuss this matter. Mr. Merry agreed. Mr. McLean suggested that some or all of the : &Z also attend that meeting for this discussion. It was suggested Mr. Merry attend the February 20, 1980 P &Z meeting and he agreed. The Council does not expect a recommendation from the P &Z - this is just for their information only. Mayor Gourley moved that the second paper for the notice of public hearing to be published be the Forest Lake Times. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Under Old Business, The Clerk reported that payment for the use of the lift station had been received from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Under New Business, Mayor Gourley reported that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners will be meeting at 9:00 A.M. and the ninth item on the agenda is discussion of the location of the juvenile detention center. Mrs. Elsenpeter noted that Mr. Burman had failed to notify this Coty of any meetings concerning this problem She also stated that she plans to attend that hearing scheduled for February 12, 1980. Mr. Schumacher reported on the status of the Police cars. He listed the vehicles presently being used and reported that the 1980 Suburban will be here next week. He asked that thePolice Department retain the 1977 Ford as the back -up unit, and the 1977 Suburban be turned over to Mr. Volk for his use. This leaves the City staff without a vehcile and Mr. Schumacher re- commended that a used vehicle be purchased for this purpose. Mr. Schumacher said there is room for this purpose in the Building Inspector's budget in that a cehicle was provided and mileage had been budgeted. Chief Myhre did not agree with this approach and presented his report on the savings that had been made through the use of the suburbans as patrol cars. There was much discussion on the pros and cons of this matter with no dicision. Mr. McLean moved to authorize Mr. Schumacher to spend up to $1500.00 to purchase a staff car. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. There was some discussion on the towing contract, with Mrs. Elsenpeter ask- ing Mr. Schumacher to ake care of this matter. Chief Myhre explained that we do not have a contract - just an agreement to use the firm on the basis of their submitted bid. Mr. Schumacher reported on the public hearing set for the Comprehensive Use Plan on a Federal Holiday and the second hearing set for February 27, 1980. Mayor Gourley wanted to know if there is a conflict in holding this hearing February 11, 1980 since this is an informational meeting only and Mr. Locher agreed there was no problem, as long as there was no budiness conducted. Mayor Gourley thanked Mr. Scherer for attending this meeting and assisting with the Park Board minutes.
