Mr. Cape noted the names of many other members and officers of PAGE 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 the Civil Defense and expressed appreciation for of dedication and service. PRESENTATION TO THE LINO LAKES VFW POST NO. 6583 OF THE DONATION OF EMERGENCY WARNING SIRENS their many years IN RECOGNITION Mayor Bisel present to Lyle Carpenter, current Commander of the Circle Lex VFW Post No. 6583 a plaque in recognition of the Donation of Emergency Warning Sirens. Past commanders, Bill Bohjanen and Charles Cape also came to the podium for this presentation. Mayor Bisel explained that the entire City is extremely grateful to this service organization for recognizing the need for an early warning siren system in the community and providing the funding ($53,000.00) for four (4) sirens which are now located in various neighborhoods of Lino Lakes. Mayor Bisel also noted the many other donations by the Circle Lex VFW Post #6583 to this City, the citizens of Lino Lakes and the many other state and national causes. Commander Carpenter thanked Mayor Bisel and noted other school and athletic organizations supported by the VFW. He also noted the many hours the members spend to raise the money for these causes. Former Commander Bohjanen noted the many hours donated by the Ladies Auxiliary and explained that this organization is the backbone of the VFW. He also explained the purpose of the VFW is to serve service men and their families. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 09 - 91 IN SUPPORT OF CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC SPORTS ARENA Mr. Schumacher explained that this matter was before the Council on February 11, 1991 and he was asked to provide further information regarding the wording of Resolution No. 09 - 91. Mr. Schumacher said he has talked to Commissioner Langfeld who said that the language must remain as it is because of a previous commitment made to Coon Rapids by the County. Council Member Bohjanen moved to adopt Resolution No. 09 - 91 as it is currently written. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Council Member Bohjanen expressed disappointment regarding this resolution because it appears to have "closed the door" to any additional funding requests that this City may have for other ice arenas. Council Member Kuether said she was deeply disturbed and asked Mr. Schumacher to explain the reason behind this resolution. Mr. Schumacher explained the reasoning was to limit the County's commitment to other new ice arenas. Mayor Bisel explained that the resolution was passed in Coon Rapids with this language and the County is holding all other cities to this wording. Council Member Reinert said that no other city has cooperated more with the County than this City. He asked that both our County Commissioner and the Chairman of the County Board be made aware of our disappointment. PAGE 2 238 239 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING, TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE USE OF THE 1991/1992 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS, RESOLUTION NO. 12 - 91 Mr. Schumacher explained that Lino Lakes receives a portion of the Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) received by Anoka County. This year the tentative amount is $26,567.00 and this must be spent to benefit low and moderate income residents. The purpose of the public hearing is to take citizen comments as to where this money should be spend. In the past, this money has been used to support Alexandria House, the Lino Lakes Senior Center and to help implement the Section 18 - 19 flood plain plan. Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 7:19 P.M. and explained how the public hearing would be conducted. There was no one in the audience to speak on this matter. Council Member Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 7:20 P.M. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 12 - 91 dispersing the 1991/1992 CDBG funds as Mr. Schumacher outlined in his "green sheet" dated February 6, 1991. Council Member Kuether asked how the amounts to be disbursed to the various organization was determined. Mr. Schumacher explained it was based upon the impact of the information received from each organization. Mr. Schumacher was questioned as to why some organization requests were cut when others were not. Mr. Schumacher explained his recommendations. There was a suggestion that $800.00 of the amount suggested to be given to RISE, Inc. be allocated to Alexandria House. Council Member Bohjanen noted that RISE does raise funds from other service organizations and Council Member Reinert noted the success of the Alexandria program. On a roll call vote, motion passed with Council Member Neal abstaining and Council Member Kuether voting no. PUBLIC HEARING, VACATION OF FOX ROAD, COLONIAL WOODS SUBDIVISION Mr. Miller explained that Fox Road is a platted street in the Colonial Woods subdivision. The intent was to extend Fox Road to the north at the time the property at the north was platted for residential use. The property to the north (Reshanau Lake Estates South, 4th and 5th Additions) is currently in the platting process. The original preliminary plat of this new subdivision showed a street going south to connect to Fox Road. PAGE 3 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 The Department of Natural (DNR) is refusing to issue a permit for construction of this street because it would be constructed through a natural wetland. The developer of Reshanau Lake Estates South is now replatting his development without a connection to Fox Road and is providing access to his plat through the south part of Birch Woods. Mr. Miller noted that City staff personnel have discussed the vacation of Fox Road in the Colonial Woods subdivision and have raised issues of accessibility to Colonial Woods for emergency vehicles. The staff has also suggested that Fox Road could be extended north from Colonial Woods into the Reshanau Lake Estates South subdivision by "skirting" the wetland. A petition has been received signed by a large number of residents in Colonial Woods requesting that Fox Road be vacated. The Design Review Board has recommended that it be vacated. Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 7:30 P.M. Steve Slatten, 6283 Red Maple Lane said that he is concerned because the issue of extending Fox Road has surfaced again. This is against the wishes of the residents of Colonial Woods. He expressed concern regarding the environmental impact the street extension would have on the area to the north of Colonial Woods. He noted that the legislature is working on a bill that would require that there be no net loss of wetland when any particular area is developed. He explained that the DNR has said that the road will not be extended across the wetland and the developer is now in the process of redesigning his plat. Mr. Slatten said the neighborhood does not want the road and the developer does not want the road. He said if government is truly "of the people, by the people and for the people" keep his neighborhood as it is. Doug Kruse, 6263 Red Maple Lane asked if anyone has considered the safety of the neighborhood. He noted that children play freely in the street. If Fox Road were constructed, it would provide a convenient traffic pattern to Ware Road and then to Ash Street. Ron Conway, 6280 Red Maple Lane noted that many residents were present tonight and asked that they stand up to demonstrate to the Council that they were all opposed to the construction of Fox Road. Steve Palmquist, 6216 Red Maple Lane noted that 62nd Street would still be the direct route for emergency vehicles even if Fox Road were constructed. He also noted that Fox Road would be a 30 MPH speed limit street. PAGE 4 24U 241 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 Council Member Reinert noted that at another meeting, someone had mentioned that they would not be opposed to allowing the Fox Road easement to remain but for utility purposes only. In addition, there was mention of using the easement for a bike path. He noted that this would require going through the wetlands. Council Member Reinert said that there is no data available from the Police or Fire Departments regarding emergency situations. He asked for this information. Council Member Reinert also noted a grass fire that was started on Ash Street and burned very close to the Colonial Woods subdivision. He asked if the residents were not somewhat concerned about this happening again and maybe having 62nd Street blocked by the fire. Mr. Kruse said that he thought the developer of Reshanau Lakes Estates South would allow access to the area that would burn. He noted that there will be development to the west with other access streets for emergency vehicles. Mr. Kruse said that Fox Road would be the fastest route to the cities for all the residents of the subdivision under construction to the north of Colonial Woods. Mayor Bisel said that he was concerned about providing utility service to the Colonial Woods area and also concerned about the safety of the neighborhood. He asked that the Fire Chief and Police Chief address this matter. Mr. Schumacher explained that there was a full staff meeting on this issue. He noted that several department heads were concerned about the matter and they all felt other options were available. The City Planner is looking at directing the developer of Reshanau Lake Estates South to work with the DNR to see if there is an alternate way to get to Fox Road. Mr. Schumacher suggested that this matter be tabled until the staff can see what the replat is going to look like. Council Member Neal asked what liability does the City incur if someone has a heart attack and it takes the ambulance a long time to get to the scene and the person dies. Council Member Reinert asked that the residents understand that the Council must be concerned about the health and welfare of the Colonial Woods neighborhood. Mr. Kruse said he would like to see statistics of the increase in accidents because the area will become a high traffic area. Mr. Slatten, 6283 Red Maple Lane said that the neighborhood appreciates the concern of the Council for public safety. However, he said he felt the Council should dwell on something that is more likely to happen and that is the traffic safety if the street is constructed. PAGE 5 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 241 Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 7:55 P.M. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bohjanen moved to table this matter indefinitely and renotify all residents when the matter is considered again. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PLANNER'S REPORT Resolution No. 11 - 91 Receiving a Report and Authorising a Feasibility Report for Lake Amelia Estates - Mr. Miller explained that Mr. Birch wishes to build forty (40) high value town houses on the east shore of Lake Amelia. He has submitted a concept plan which will be reviewed by the DRB next week. A comprehensive plan amendment, a rezone, a site plan and a utility agreement with White Bear Township must be completed before his plans can proceed. Mr. Birch wishes to do several of these things at the same time and he also recognizes that he has some risk in doing this. He has deposited an escrow of $3,000.00 with the City to pay for a feasibility report. The information gained from the preparation of this report will be useful to the City even if the project is not completed. Council Member Neal moved to approve Resolution No. 11 - 91. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried with Council Member Kuether abstaining. Resolution No. 11 - 91 can be found at the end of these minutes. PUBLIC HEARING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, LAKE CREST, VARIANCE REQUEST Mr. Boxrud explained that this preliminary plat is located at the southeast corner of Reshanau Lake and north of Birch Street. The preliminary plat has been reviewed by the DRB and this Board has recommended its approval as well as the approval of the variance for the long cul -de -sac. Mr. Boxrud noted that the plat is zoned Single Family Residential (R -1) and is governed by the Shoreland Management Ordinance. Access to the town home located in the area will be revised to the cul -de -sac. The grading plan has been refined and includes a pond located on the northeast corner of the plat. The Public Works staff has located the storm sewer outlet to confirm the size and elevation. Finalization of the design of this pond should result in an appropriately reduced flow rate to the storm sewer system before discharging to Reshanau Lake while also providing the opportunity for sediment to be removed in the ponding area. The remaining ponding issue is whether or not this should be a wet pond or a PAGE 6 243 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 dry pond. Mr. Boxrud noted that a wet pond is most desirable if the residents in the area do not object. Mr. Boxrud explained that four (4) of the lots will have driveways exiting onto Birch Street. Two (2) driveways will come together at Birch Street so that it will appear that there are only two (2) driveways exiting on Birch Street serving the four (4) lots. This matter has been approved by the Anoka County Highway Department. Council Member Reinert expressed concern because of the high traffic volume on Birch Street. Council Member Neal asked if a frontage road could be constructed. Mr. Boxrud said that a frontage road would not be feasible in this location. Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 8:13 P.M. Thomas Sobetski, 6650 East Shadow Lake Drive said that there are no ten (1) foot easements shown on the lots adjoining this plat. He asked what the pond has to do with these easements. Mr. Boxrud explained that all existing easements on the adjoining plat will remain. He also noted that drainage from the new plat will be directed away from the existing lots. Mr. Boxrud explained that the pond should help reduce the use of these easements since the pond will be deeper and receive the runoff. Tom Wall, 998 Lantern Lane expressed concern regarding controlling the level of the pond. He said he did not want it to overflow in to his backyard. Mr. Boxrud explained that the ponding system is designed to go north to Reshanau Lake. The proposal is to dig the pond deeper and to clean out the partially blocked storm sewer leading to the lake. Gary Jorgensen, owner of the town homes at 6651/6653 Reshanau Lane asked why the access to the town homes was being changed. He said he would like to keep it as it is now. Mr. Miller explained how the current driveway came into existence and explained that the best option for the town homes is to exit onto the new cul -de -sac. Mr. Jorgensen asked if he would be required to participate in the cost of constructing the cul -de -sac. Mr. Miller said probably since the cul -de -sac will benefit his property. This matter will be resolved when the developers agreement is prepared. Mike Swanson, 985 Birch Street explained that this plat surrounds his home. His home is currently served by a septic system which must be pumped every year. Mr. Swanson asked if he will have additional problems with his septic system. Mr. Boxrud explained that this proposed plat will be served by municipal sewer and water and there will be better control of the surface water in the area. He felt Mr. Swanson should have less problems with his PAGE 7 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 system. Mr. Boxrud said that Mr. Swanson could petition for municipal services for this home. Doug White, 6634 East Shadow Lake to extend the driveways so far to destroy the wild life in the area. the town house driveway relocated town house have parties and abuse Drive asked if it was necessary the back of the new lots and He also said he would like because the residents of the the long driveway. Ted Mattke, engineer for the proposed plat explained the location for the pads for the new homes. He explained that because of the restrictions of the Shoreland Management Ordinance and the limitations of the soils in the area, the location of the homes is very limited. The pads were placed in the most desirable areas. The area will be cleaned in the development of the proposed plat. Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 8:27 P.M. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Reinert noted that one advantage to the long driveways that will exit unto Birch Street is that "turn arounds" will be provided on the lot and cars will not be backing out onto Birch Street. He felt this was a dangerous situation. Mr. Boxrud recommended that the "green sheet" with stipulations moved to adopt Option No. 1 and outlined in DBR application No. seconded the motion. On a roll unanimously. Council adopt Option No. 1 on his A and B. Council Member Bohjanen approve the preliminary plat as 90 - 64. Council Member Kuether call vote, motion carried Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the variance for the long cul -de -sac as outlined in DRB application No. 90 - 69. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. The Council took a five minute recess at 8:37 P.M. ENGINEER'S REPORT Update- Utility Service to Brandywood Estates and the Centennial School District Property, Resolution No. 15 - 91 - Mr. Boxrud explained that this matter was addressed at the last Council meeting and several questions were raised. Mr. Boxrud used the overhead projector and outlined the original proposal for utility services to Brandywood Estates, the Centennial School property and Pheasant Hills Preserve. He also outlined a second proposal that would have allowed the sanitary sewer to be pumped to the PAGE 8 244 245 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1991 Centerville lift station. Since the last proposal, Mr. Boxrud has been in contact with the Metro Waste Control Commission (MWCC) and they determined that it is not in the best interest to serve these areas through the Centerville lift station. Mr. Boxrud outlined his latest proposal that would allow for Brandywood Estates, the Centennial School property and Pheasant Hills Preserve to be serve by the Black Duck lift station to the west. This proposal is similar to the original proposal. It will require that the Black Duck lift station be upgraded in about three (3) years. This proposal is now feasible because the Reshanau Lake trunk sewer improvement is planned and progressing. Mr. Boxrud explained that a question about the operation of the Black Duck lift station had been raised at the previous Council meeting. He has checked with the Public Works Director and the problem is not one of capacity but of mechanics. This problem should be corrected by now. Mr. Boxrud said he feels that this will be a viable project and the cost should be approximately the same as the proposed Centerville lift station project. He noted to keep on schedule, the Council would have to consider ordering plans and specifications soon. There was discussion regarding financing for Pheasant Hills Preserve. Mr. Miller explained that the central builder for this improvement had backed out, however, the developer felt another builder was interested. Mr. Boxrud noted that this latest proposal is dependent upon the School District agreeing to having all of their land which is serviceable by a gravity sewer assessed for trunk sewer charges. Mr. Boxrud recommended that the Council approve Option No. 2 on his "green sheet" because this will allow Brandywood Estates to develop at this time. If financing is completed for Pheasant Hills Preserve, they can be added to the project at any time. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Option No. 2 and Resolution No. 15 - 91. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 15 - 91 can be found at the end of these minutes.

"And"erson, Harold L. Biel easurer Mayor PAGE 13 1 1 1 ���/l �~xw 1991 STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS FEBRUARY 11 '` ^~ 1991 � MAYOR HAROLD-BISEL I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU HERE TONIGHT, AND ALSO TO THOSE WATCHING AT HOME ON CHANNEL 16. FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES I WILL BE DELIVERING THE 1991 STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS. LAST YEAR I CAME TO YOU WITH MY FIRST ADDRESS AS MAYOR OF THE CITY. LOOKING BACK, 1990 WAS A BUSY YEAR--MANY TIMES EXCITING AND CHALLENGING; SOMETIMES DISAPPOINTING BUT ALWAYS REWARDING. I COMPLIMENT THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND WILLINGNESS TO PUT IN MANY MANY EXTRA HOURS OF MEETINGS AS WE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WAS PLEASED SO MANY OF YOU TOOK THE TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULES TO COME TO THE COUNCIL MEETINGS AND EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS. ONE OF MY OBJECTIVES LAST YEAR, AND WILL CONTINUE THIS • YEAR, IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH YOUR COUNCIL, BOARDS, AND STAFF. YOU ARE ALWAYS-WELCOMED HERE. IN 1990, WE WANTED TO BRING GOVERNMENT CLOSER TO YOU. WE ACCOMPLISHED THAT GOAL BY TELEVISING EVERY COUNCIL MEETING. AS THE YEAR PROGRESSED WE ADDED THE PARK BOARD AND THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETINGS. (I WISH TO THANK BRIAN ROLLER AND TOM FRASL FOR MANNING THE CAMERAS FOR ALL THOSE MEETINGS. ALSO, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE •US INPUT ON HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR TELECASTING.) IN ADDITION TO BRINGING YOU THESE MEETINGS ON CHANNEL 16, QUARTERLY NEWSLETTERS WITH MANY INFORMATIVE ARTICLES WERE MAILED TO YOU, NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS WERE HELD WHEN VARIOUS PROJECTS WERE BEING PLANNED IN YOUR AREA, AND OUR OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER, THE QUAD PRESS, CARRIES OUR LEGAL BRIEFS. WE WILL CONTINUE THESE PRACTICES AS A MEANS OF KEEPING YOU INFORMED. LAST YEAR THE COUNTRY CELEBRATED EARTH DAY. IT WAS A DAY WHEN ALL OF US COULD TAKE TIME TO REFLECT ON HOW WE TREAT OR MISTREAT THIS PLANET. THE UNITED STATE MAKES UP ABOUT 5% OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION--YET WE USE 35% OF THE WORLD'S NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES. AND, MOST OF THE WORLD WANTS TO BE LIKE US. THAT PUTS US ON A COLISION COURSE. TO HELP PRESERVE THE COUNTRY'S RESOURCES YOU HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THE RECYCLING PROGRAM OF PAPER, GLASS, AND PLASTICS BY USING THE CURB SIDE CONTAINERS. THE CITY'S COMPOST SITE AND OIL DROP-OFF FACILITY IS FURTHER DEMONSTRATING THAT ALL OF US ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WE WANT TO KEEP LINO LAKES BEAUTIFUL. LAST YEAR YOU RECYCLED 372 TONS OF MATERIAL. ANOKA COUNTY SET OUR GOAL AT 190 TONS. NICE GOING PEOPLE. YOU ARE TO BE CONGRATULATED ON A JOB WELL DONE. FRAN KURK, OUR RECYCLING COORDINATOR, DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB OF PROVIDING AND VERIFYING TONNAGE FIGURES TO ANOKA COUNTY. FRAN ALSO KEEPS US INFORMED BY HER RECYCLING ARTICLES IN THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTERS. WATCH FOR THEM. IN THE PAST, CITY-WIDE SURVEYS HAVE BEEN USED TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO PROVIDE IN THE WAY OF SERVICES, � - ^� �� 1 ��/ FACILITIES, AND PROGRAMS. ONE OF YOUR PRIORITIES, AND CERTAINLY ONE OF MINE, IS THAT OF A RECREATION PROGRAM. THE COUNCIL, AFTcR WORKING WITH STAFF, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, THE PARK BOARD, AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, RECENTLY MADE THE DECISION ESTABLISH OUR OWN LINO LAKES RECREATION DEPARTMENT. AFTER REVIEWING AND EVALUATING THE DOCUMENTATION RELATING TO COST, FACILITY NEEDS, AND ALL OTHER FACTORS, IT • WAS DETERMINED THAT WE WILL • BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT RECREATION PROGRAM FOR ALL CITIZENS RANGING FROM YOUNGSTERS TO SENIORS AT A PRICE WE CAN AFFORD. YOU SHOULD BEGIN TO SEE SOME PLANNED ACTIVITIES BEGINNING THIS SUMMER. LAST YEAR THE CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT SELECTED MR. MILO BENNETT AS THE DISTRICT'S FIRE CHIEF. CHIEF BENNETT BRINGS TO THE DEPARTMENT STRONG ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS AND UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP THE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO BE STRENGTHENED. NEW EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PLACED ON ORDER AND A REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR UP-DO-DATE EQUIPMENT IS IN PLACE. THE NEW LINO LAKES FIRE STATION LOCATED ON LAKE DRIVE IS SCHEDULED TO BE OPENED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. THIS MODERN FACILITY • WILL HOUSE THE CHIEF'S OFFICE, INCORPORATE TRAINING FACILITIES FOR THE •DISTRICT'S FIRE FIGHTERS, AND HOUSE MODERN FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT. THIS NEW BUILDING WILL CERTAINLY BE AN ASSET TO THE ENTIRE CITY. CHIEF BENNETT'S RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ARE PAYING OFF WITH 8 NEW MEMBERS RECENTLY JOINING THE FORCE. IF THERE ARE RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY WILLING TO SERVE ON THE DEPARTMENT, PLEASE CONTACT CHIEF BENNETT FOR INFORMATION, BENEFITS, AND REQUIREMENTS. WE NEED MORE MEMBERS FROM LINO LAKES. THE GROWTH OF LINO LAKES CONTINUED IN 1990 WITH THE ADDITION OF 176 NEW HOMES. HOWEVER, THE VALUATION OF THE 1990 BUILDING PERMITS TOTALED OVER $23 MILLION DOLLARS--A $5 MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THESE FIGURES SUGGEST THAT QUALITY CONSTRUCTION IS TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE CITY. LINO LAKES CONTINUES TO GENERATE INTEREST IN THE NEW HOUSING MARKET EVEN IN A SLUGGISH, UNCERTAIN ECONOMY. I BELIEVE THIS INTEREST IS DUE IN PART TO THE NEARLY FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECOND TIER SUBURBS TO THE SOUTH OF US AND THE FACT THAT LINO LAKES IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, EDUCATE CHILDREN, AND RAISE A FAMILY. THE PASSING OF THE CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT'S BOND ISSUE LAST FALL IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE CITIZENS OF LINO LAKES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND PROVIDE A HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION FOR THE AREA'S YOUTH. THE NEW MODERN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WILL BE BUILT JUST NORTH OF BIRCH STREET ON THE HAROLD LEHMAN AND HUGO JORGESON FARMS AND SHOULD BE READY FOR STUDENTS IN THE FALL OF 1992. LINO LAKES SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. LAST YEAR THE LINO LAKES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BROUGHT BACK THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ODYSSEY OF THE MIND AWARD. JAY KINGEN, CHERYL KODITEK, HEATHER WAGEMON, VIRGINIA HESTER, JASEY HANSON, CORA LEE MANKE-FOGLESONG AND ALISON VEJTRUBA COMPETED WITH STUDENTS FROM 48 OTHER STATES AND SEVEN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND BROUGHT HOME THE BIG PRIZE. ODYSSEY OF THE MIND COMPETITION JUDGES STUDENT'S ON THEIR ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH CREATIVE THINKING AND SPONTANEITY. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM AND THEIR COACHES DIANE AND CHUCK GIORGI. JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL WAS 1 1 1 252 �~�� AWARDED THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE. TUOL__ TWO AWARDS IS ANOTHER REASON WE SHOULD BE PROUD TO LIVE IN LINC_ LAKES. A GROWING CITY IS NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS.: THE DEMANDS FOR SERVICES CONTINUES AS WE GROW TO A POPULATION OF ARLY 1�,000 PEOPLE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. • THIS GROWTH IS STRAINING DJR PRESENT GOVERNMENTAL FACILITIES. A PLAN IS IN PLACE TO TEMPORARILY RELOCATE SOME DEPARTMENTS ON A SHORT-TERM BASIS !_:NTIL ADEQUATE FACILITIES CAN BE BUILT. THE COUNCIL IS IN THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING FUTURE FACILITY NEEDS AND WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS. REDISTRICTING OF LEBISLATIVE BOUNDRIES IS DUE FOR CHANGE THIS YEAR. WHEN THAT TASK IS COMPLETED, THE CITY CAN REDRAW OUR VOTING PRECINCT. LINES AND THEN WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOCATE POLLING PLATES CLOSER TO POPULATION GROUPS. I STONGLY FEEL THE PEOPLE LING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY SHOULD BE GIVEN EVERY CONSIDERA-ZON WHEN THE NEW LINE ARE DRAWN. MONEY AND TAXES ARE ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR ALL OF US. GOVERNOR CARLSON IS TELLING US THERE IS A SHORTFALL OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1.2 AND 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. IN OTHER WORDS THE STATE IS SPENDING MORE THAN THEY ARE T,AING IN. THE GOVERNOR SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO RAISE TAXES OR [UT FUNDING FOR K-12 EDUCATION. THE TALK IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO CUT STATE AIDS TO CITIES BUT THE STATE MAY BE ASKING -�S TO PAY BACK THE AID THEY SENT US EARLIER. AN EXAMPLE OF A BCTCHED MANDATE IS THE TRUTH-IN-TAXATION LAW. THE STATE TOLD US EX+LTLY WHAT AND HOW INFORMATION WAS TO BE STATED, AND EVEN THE SIZE [7 THE AD AND IN WHICH PAPERS. INSTEAD OF INFORMING RESIDENTS OF ACTUAL PROPSED TAXES, THE MANDATED NOTICES WERE CONFUSING AND MISLEADING. THE LEGISLATORS OF THIS STATE MUST STOP MANDATING PROGRAMS THAT COST THE COUNTIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CITIES M[�EY UNLESS THEY ARE WILLING TO FUND THOSE PROGRAM. THIS COUNCIL HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE QUESTIONS WHEN YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE EXPENDED. WITH THE GROWTH WE ARE EXPERIENCING, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP SPENDING IN LINE WITH REVENUES AND YET PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN THE SERVICES YOU EXPECT FROM THE CITY. OUT OF EVERY PROPERTY TAX DOLLAR YOU PAY, .43 CENTS 2:ES TO THE SCHOOLS, ANOKA COUNTY TAKES ABOUT .29 CENTS; THE '�ATERSHED DISTRICTS GET .05 CENTS; AND THE CITY OF LINO LAKES GETS ONLY 23.46 CENTS. THE NEXT TIME YOU PAY YOUR PROpERTV TAX BILL JUST REMEMBER THE CITY GETS ONLY 1/4 OF IT. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR NONPROPERTY-TAX SOURCES CT. REVENUE AS A MEANS TO REDUCE YOUR TAXES. I WILL BE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT ALL USER'S FEES AND LICENSE FEES AS A MEANS TO GENERATING REVENUE. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE LARGE REGIONAL PARK LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY PAYS NO TAX TO LINO LAKES YET WE MUST PROVIDE FIRE AND POLICE SERVICES TO THAT AREA. I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT THOSE WHO USE SERVICES SHOULD PAY FOR THEM WHETHER IT IS SC`~EONE COMING INTO THE CITY USING OUR STREETS TO GET TO THE GOLF COUSE OR THE BUILDER WHO USES STAFF TIME TO GATHER INFORMATION AND HAVE FORMS COMPLETED. ��� � � �.� THE REAL QUESTION, P�WEVER, STILL REMAINS. HOW CAN WE REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES IN LINO LAKES? OUR VERY LOW COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL BASE DICTATrC THAT FOR CITY SERVICES FALL ON THE BACKS OF YOU, THE HOMEOWNER. WE NEED THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO LOCATE IN LINO LAKES IF WE ARE TO EXPERIENCE SOME TAX RELIEF. COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUSIM=SSES PAY ABOUT 3 TIMES MORE FOR THE VALUATION OF THEIR PROPERTY TH,:,N WE DO IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME. WE NEED THAT TAX BASE. THE CITY ZONED 1,200 ACRES ALONG THE 1358 CORRIDOR AS A BUSINESS RESERVE AREA FOR FUTL:RE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. COMMERCIAL SHOPPING :ENTERS CONTINUE TO ELUDE US. HOWEVER, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE AREA ARE RAPIDLY IMPROVING AND WE HOPE TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT IN COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THIS YEAR. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE HAS BEEN WORKING AND CONTINUES TO WORK TO ATTRACT ELSINESSES THAT PROVIDES THE CITY WITH EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND A GOOD TAX BASE. NOW, WE COULD HAVE HAD A CONCRETE BLOCK FACTORY, AN ASPHALT MIXING PLANT, AN OLD CITY BUS SCRAP YARD BUSINESS, A CONTAMINATED SOILS CLEAN UP OPERATION, AND AN OUTDOOR STORA= FACILITY AS BUSINESSES THAT WANTED TO LOCATE WITHIN THE CITY. THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES TAKE UP LARGE AREAS BUT PAY LITTLE IN TAXES. I BELIEVE LINO LAKES IS BETTER THAN THAT. YET I HEA:7Z REMARKS, EVEN FROM A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, THAT WE ARE DRIVING EUSINESS AWAY FROM THE CITY. •IF YOU, THE RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY, WANT THOSE TYPES OF BUSINESSES LOCATED IN LINO LAKES, THEN CALL CITY HALL AND TELL US THAT. MY DESIRE IS THAT WE ATTRACT GOOD TAX-PAYING BUSINESSES TO OUR CITY. IN ORDER TO DO THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE MAXIMIZE OUR EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE THAT OBJECTIVE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IF WE ALL START PROMOTING OUR CITY I^/ A POSITIVE WAY. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HEAR NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT LINO LAKES. LET'S TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE POSITIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT A GREAT CITY LINO LAKES REALLY IS. LETS'S START TALKING ABOUT OUR ASSETS. OUR INDUSTRIOUS, HARD-WORKING PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE AN ASSET; OUR TWO FREEWAY SYSTEMS ARE AN ASSET; OUR LOCAL AND REGIONAL PARKS ARE AN ASSET; OUR EDUCATIOr/AL SYSTEMS ARE AN ASSET; OUR PROXIMITY TO BOTH DOWNTOWNS CENTEFS ARE IS ASSET. ONE OF OUR CITY EMPLOYEES, CAROLE KOHLER, HEARD A PERSON SAY HE WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO RELOCATE HIS COMPANY. CAROLE TOLD HIM ABOUT LINO LAKES. HE HAS SINCE PAID HIS FEES IS IN THE REVIEW PROCESS. THANK YOU CAROLE. AND FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO GIVE US INPUT ON ISSUES, TO THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR SERVICES, TO THE MANY WHO SERVE ON OUR BOARDS, AND TO OUR CONSULTANTS. YOUR HELP IS VITAL TO THE COUNCIL IN ASSISTING IN FORMULATING POLICY AND MAKING DECISION. I ALSO WA-7 TO THANK A DEDICATED STAFF FOR WORKING UNDER VERY CROWDED DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. THIS COUNCIL MEETS MANY MORE TIMES THAN THE TWO SCHDULED MEETINGS PER MONTH. WE HAVE TO. MANY TIMES YOU THINK WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC PROBLEM -- YES WE DO' BUT FOR EVERY OPINION YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE HAS A DIFFERENT ONE. 9,000 PEOPLE -- 9,000 OPINIONS. THE COUNCIL 1 1 1 HAS TO LOOK AT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE WHOLE CITY. WE DO THE BEST WE CAN. IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN TO KNOW THAT OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM AND THEIR FAMILI[S. I PRAY FOR A QUICK SOLUTION TO THIS CDNFLICT AND SPEEDY RETURN TO THE USA. THANK YOU. 255 Council Member Bohjanen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 09 - 91 RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC SPORTS ARENA As the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, we understand the County of Anoka possesses limited resources available for participation in the construction of ice arenas in Anoka County.
