The Clerk is to contact him and his application will be considered at the June 24, 1974 meeting. Mr. Gotwald had looked over the letter concerning the Battle Creek Watershed District and said that the hearing scheduled is to consider the expansion of this District. Mr. Gotwald felt that the City should object to being included in this District for several reasons. We have had no communications• from this District, there has been no engineering study and most of the area of Lino Lakes is already included in the Rice Creek Watershed District. This would be an overlapping situation. All platting done in the area must be approved by the RCWD at the present time and with the formation of this district, one more agency could be involved thus complicating the procedure of platting. Mr. Ross asked if the City received copies of the RCWD and was told that we do. The Clerk was instructed to draft a letter for Mr. Gotwald informing this group that; 1) we are not a part of the drainage system that flows into Battle Creek. 2) there has been no engineering study as to why Lino Lakes should be included in this district. 3) the City of Lino Lakes doesn't need another agency controlling the growth of the City and 4) the City of Lino Lakes had neither representation on this Board nor communications from them. Mr. Carl Nelson asked if the two districts overlapped and was told No. Mr. Gotwald reported that he will have a preliminary cost estimate for planned road repairs for the next meeting. The Clerk asked who to get to test the water at the well. Mr. Gotwald suggested Gene Smith of White Bear Township, Bill Imme of Circle Pines or Greg Morstad of Lexington. Mr. Al Ross made comment of the study being conducted by the City for full time Law enforcement. He felt that we have a Library District, Hospital District and felt that with the number of surrounding communities needing full time protection, a Law Enforcement District could be set up. He felt that this matter should be put on the ballot this fall and let the people vote on it. He also reminded the Council that the possibility of issuing an unlimited number of liquor licenses. He felt that this should also be on the ballot for approval of the residents. Mayor Bohjanen told Mr. Ross that there has been three meetings of the Commission studying a full time Police Department, the next one is scheduled for June 26, 1974. Before any decisions are made on this, a public hearing will be held. This project is still very much in the planning stages. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve requisitions #436 through #446 inclusive. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka moved to pay bills with checks #5787 through and including #5810. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. McLean moved to adjourn at 10:30 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Aye. 12 The minutes were approved at the June 24, 1974 meeting. June 10, 1974 r r'"" K ,,') zit• `� s, re- / Clerk -Tre aS ure r June 11, 1974 The special meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 8:05 p.m. on June 11, 1974 by Mayor Bohjanen. Councilmen present; Jaworski, Marier, McLean, Zelinka. Mr. Locher, Mr.Carley and Mr. Gotwald were also present. Mr. Karl Burandt of the Metropolitan Council Staff was here to explain his report dealing with the Lino Lakes - Centerville interceptor. Mr. Ray Payne of the Metro Sewer Board was present. Mayor Prachar, Councilmen Murray, Burgue, Anderson and L'Allier of Centerville and Mrs. Marcello, Centerville Clerk was also present. Mayor Bohjanen explained that this meeting had been scheduled for the purpose of discussing Mr. Burandt's report. He turned the meeting over to Mr. Burandt. Mr. Burandt gave the Mayors copies of Metro Development Framework Interim Policies and a Metro Report. He read from the report which basically says that development should be curtailed in the fringe area and the now sewered areas built up to capacity before sewer lines are extended. These are the lands nearest the core Cities. He read the five points that set the tone of this report; 1) The plan should encourage contiguous development extending outward from the core cities and fully developed suburbs without skipping over large open areas already provided with central sewers. 2) The plan should not require other urban services to be prematurely provided such as roads, schools, local utilities and governmental services. 3) The plan should not open up large areas to development with long expensive sewer lines at an early date. 4) The plan should relieve pollution problems where necessary without inducing development. 5) The plan should provide for meeting local sewer needs where necessary. He went to detail as to why the Lino Lakes portion of the interceptor would be brought to the City limits. He recommends that Centerville be sewered through the Forest Lake interceptor and that this can be done with a full gravity flow system. Mr. Bohjanen asked if he has consulted with the City Engineers and if he had used the City's comprehensive land use plan in formulating this recommendation? Mr. Burandt said that he had used the City's land use plan, the NSSSB report, MSB studies and the North area study. Mr. Bohjanen asked if all these reports had been consulted and studies why did his
