PAGE 1 040 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 1987 occurred in his neighborhood this past goose hunting season. He also told the Council that he has personally caught hunters hunting with slugs even though this is against City Code. He noted instances of problems with hunters in his area. Mr. Anderson presented a petition to the Council and he noted 90 to 96% support for a ban on discharge of all fire arms in Lino Lakes. Mr. Reinert said he felt this may be a good time to examine extending the no discharge of fire arms line. He suggested that a study of this be conducted. Mr. Schumacher suggested that a committee be formed consisting of representatives from the Police Department, citizens and sportsmen groups. Mayor Benson suggested that the hunting situation in Centerville also be investigated. Mr. Joel Heckman, 6623 Hokah Drive disagreed with Mr. Anderson and explained he had moved to Lino Lakes for the opportunity to hunt. He noted that no matter what the laws were, there will always be those who do not obey the laws. Mayor Benson noted that this issue was presented under Open Mike and the Council will take it under advisement and make it an agenda item for the first Council meeting in October. He asked that a copy of the fire arms ordinance be forwarded to the Council Members with the agenda. Frank Sampair, 7393 - 24th Avenue - Mr. Sampair explained that the Council has taken action to revoke his Conditional Use Permit because he has not moved the wood chips. He explained the problems he has encountered trying to comply with the Council directive. He is asking the Council to grant him additional time to bring his Conditional Use Permit into compliance. He also asked that whenever his neighbor in Hugo has problems regarding his operation he would appreciate being notified before Council takes action. Mr. Bisel told Mr. Sampair he was concerned about the lack of action regarding the wood chips. Mr. Sampair said he did not see what the wood chips had to do with his Permit. Mayor Benson explained that the Building Inspector had inspected the Sampair premises because of the complaint and had recommended that the Council not renew the Permit until the wood chips were scattered or tilled into the soil as promised by Mrs. Sampair. Mayor Benson asked that this situation be made an agenda item and in the meantime he asked Mr. Kluegel to walk the site with Mr. Sampair and reach an agreement with him regarding abating the wood chip problem. VIEWS ON SENIOR TRANSPORTATION JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT - MARGARET LANGFELD AND DIANNE HARBERTS PAGE 2 041 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 1987 Mrs. Langfeld said that she had requested to talk to the Council tonight because of an article she had read in a local newspaper regarding a previous discussion the Council had on Senior Transporation. She explained she would like to answer any questions the Council may have on this matter. Mrs. Langfeld explained that the document the Council has is a draft and not intended to be cast in stone or to be a "take it or leave it" situation. The basis of funding is Title II. She noted that Title II funding has been around a long time and felt it would be one of the last programs to be eliminated by the Federal Government. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City Attorney had reviewed that document and had several concerns. Ms. Harberts noted that his concerns were already addressed in the revised document. She noted that the City's contributions were to be in the form of a "soft match" such as advertising the transportation service. No cash is being requested for the service as long as Title II funding is available. Mayor Benson asked Mrs. Langfeld if she has had any communication with IMetro Transit. She noted that they are currently studying existing routes but specialized transportion as required for senior use in not being considered. The Transit Board realizes that the north suburban area is not well serviced. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the Transit Board is considering transit service for the prison facility. Mrs. Langfeld said she would look into this matter. Ms. Harberts told the Council that she will need all feed back from the communities by October 8, 1987. Also the appointments to the Board of Directors should be made by that time. Mrs. Langfeld felt that this Board is going to be important. Mayor Benson said he would like a member of the Senior Board to be on the Senior Transporation Board. Mr. Bisel explained that he was concerned about the trickle down effect. If the Council says "no" to a program, they are the bad guys. Mrs. Langfeld said that we are all in this together. Mr. Reinert said he also was concerned because these programs seem to get handed down and then Councils have to wrestle with funding. Mrs. Langfeld said that funding is not being requested. Mr. Reinert asked Mrs. Langfeld if she would let the Council know her position regarding the Pheasant Ridge Music Center. Mrs. Langfeld said the County has nothing to do with the proposed facility. Mr. Reinert said that the County would be involved with the access Isituation. Mrs. Langfeld said that Anoka County is participating in the study of 35W to Radisson Road. However, the study is not to determine the effect of the facility. She noted that her personal PAGE 3 042 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 1987 opinion is not black or white. There are pros and cons. She is glad she does not have to vote on the issue. She did indicate that the facility would be a distance from Lino Lakes and did not see a real impact on Lino Lakes. Mayor Benson said he was concerned about the type of cliental the facility would attract and also there would be an impact from the traffic situation. Mr. Reinert said he did not see any favorable impact for this City, only a nuisance. The Council thanked Mrs. Langfeld and Ms. Harberts for their attendance.

OLD BUSINESS Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the developer of Rice Lakes Estates has called him to let him know of a new marketing plan for that subdivision. They plan to give away a$150,000 home. This give -away will be well promoted. It will be similar to the one given away about two years ago in Savage. The developer has requested that the City waive the building permit for the home. It is his feeling that this promotion will bring an average of 25,000 people a week into Lino Lakes and in exchange for the promotion of Lino Lakes a waiver of a permit fee is being requested. Mr. Hawkins explained that the Council should determine if this action would be in the public interest. The Council could argue that it is in the City's interest to sell lots.
