They will be constructing a truck stop and a resturant in the Spring. The Council requested the Clerk to get this in writing. 10. The subject of the lots up for tax forfeit in the Lexington Park area was discussed. No one had time to look at them and therefore the matter was tabled until the next meeting. Mr. Marier so moved. Mr. Cardinal seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Cardinal reported that there was no Park Board meeting, one member had been present and there was some discussion on an inexpensive shelter for the Baldwin Lake area but nothing definite. He also thought that there was a misunderstanding as to the desires of the Rice Creek Watershed. They did not want to see the plats before the local P &Z Boards and the Councils. The Watershed District should be the last one to receive the plats and they are only interested in the one that would affect the water, not all plats. There is still quite a lot of concern about the plane in Marsham Lake. The Clerk said she would find out who owns it and what their plans on removing it are. Mr. Bohjanen read a note from Mr. Backlin that I n order to remove the stumps on Peltier Lake Drive, he will need a bull dozer and heavy loading equipment as our equipment is inadequate to handle these bigger stumps. Mr. Marier said there had been no progress for three weeks and he would like to see this get done as the school bus has a problem getting through this street in the winter. Mr. Zelinka asked if the stumps could be burned. There was discussion on the solution. Mr. Zelinka moved to have Mr. Backlin get two bids in writing on the cost of removing the stumps and widening the road. He is then to take the lowest bid and proceed. It was also suggested that a performance bond be posted. Mr. Marier Seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Jerry Young appeared before the Council on behalf of the Anoka County Library to expalin about the problems of the brance library located on Lexington Avenue. Mr. Young said that support for the branch had come from the Centennial Shool district in the past, but because of the cut -back in spending on the part of the District, they could no longer support the project. They are asking that each Village assume a portion of the cost to maintain the Branch Library in that location until the Anoka County Library Board can build a permanent structure to house the Branch Library. Mr. Jack Oman and Mr. Ed Bloomstrand were also present. Mr. Bohjanen asked if there was room in the Lovell School to house the Library. Mr. Oman said, Yes, and that the space had been offered to them, but they have found that by housing a library in a school it loses its effectivness. People some how do not use the Library then. Mr. Zelinka asked how long this arrangement would be necessary. Mr. Young said there are now plans in the making for a permanent home for the Branch Library and probably would need help for the next couple of years. Mr. Zelinka said the Council could certainly consider this. MR. Oman said the Board would appreciate an indication of support which would not be considered as a firm commitment. The Council indicated that they would support their plan and that their feelings are in keeping with what the Library is trying to do. They would request that the Library Board present the Council with a firm figure as to their portion of the cost. 54 10 -24 -72 Mr. Young thanked the Council for their time and said they will arrive at a dollar figure for the Council to consider. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if he had read the letter received from Mr. Earl Kammerer in reference to the variance granted. Mr. Locher said he had not seen the letter. The Clerk went to her office to get the letter that had been left in the P &Z File. Mr. Marier also commented on the sale of grain dryers at the Skyline Auto Body shop location. Mr. Locher pointed out that it was commercially zoned and that according to our Ordinance the sale was entirely legal. There was a discussion on target shooting inthe Village . Mr. Locher read from Our Ordinance that prohibits all solid shells from being fired within the Village limits. Mr. Marier said he will have a report on the Metro Inter County Park Board for the next meeting. Mr. Zelinka said the Personnel Commission had met but only one member had been there. He had furnished the others members with copies of the applications for Clerk- Treasurer position and thought he would have a recommendation for the Council at this meeting. He had not heard from the other members as yet, so therefore will have to delay the recommendation until the next meeting. There was some discussion to the applications received for the position of Public Works Supervisor. The ad for that position has been run for the last time. Mr. zelinka feels that the Environmental Commission should work through the P &Z Board. As the situation now stands, the Commission meets a few days after the P &Z and by the next P &Z meeting they are a month behing. He felt that there should a liaison from the P &Z Board to the Environmental Commission. The Commission is also willing to change their meeting date to conform more closely with the P &Z. Mr. Marier will present these thoughts and ideas at the next meeting of the P &Z Board. Mr. Locher finished reading Mr. Kammerer's letter and reported that parcel #2580 has a 60' right -of -way but that the other parcel has only a 33' easement and would need an additional 27' in order to meet the Village Ordinance. This Ordinance was passed in 1957. Mr. Marier recommended that Mr. Locher put his recommendations on this matter in a letter to Mr. Kammerer. Mr. Locher then discussed our Ordinance covering the moving of buildings through_ the Village. At the present, the Ordinance only states that buildings may not be moved over Village streets without a permit, but we have no control over the county or state roads. He would suggest that our Ordinance be amended to read " or move a dwelling upon any land within the Village for a period of more than 24 hours without a permit ". Mr. Marier moved to amend the Ordinance as stated and to authorize Mr. Locher to put in proper terminology and to publish. IMr. Zelinka seconded. CArried. Mr. Bohjanen had received the Centervi l le Fire report and asked the Clerk to make copies for a l l Council members. He had also received a letter from Mr. McMu rch i e of Circle Pines announcing a Police Meeting to be held on October 26, 1972 at 7:30 PM. He planned to attend and invited any other Council member who would like to go. This meeting is to discuss the possibility of a full time Police force for the area. He presented a copy of brochure on map racks and asked the Council to consider the purchase of one. After discussion as to size and type, Mr. Marier moved to purchase a floor model with wings for a 52'x40" map size. IMr. Cardinal seconded. Carried. The Clerk read the final acceptance report from Mr. Gotwald on the well and Pumphouse Mr. Cardinal moved to accept as recommended by Mr. Gotwald the well and pumphouse located in the U.

Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried with Mr. Marier voting no. The Cohncil then considered the final acceptance recommendations for the sewer and water mains. Mr. Locher reminded the Council they must have plans for hauling the waste and some plans for billing. Mr. Cardinal said this was true but that we can't hold back on the payment just because we don't have plans for handling the system. Mr. Marier said he had some questions as to what was put into the system and he moved to table the acceptance until the next meeting. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried with Mr. CArdinal voting No. All plans for handling the system must be ready for the next meeting. The Clerk was asked to contact Mr. Carlson, who is doing the hauling now, and ask him to appear at our next meeting and to bring a sampling of his billings for the hauling service. Mr. Tom Melcher appeared before the Council with a complaint in regards to Mr. Boyd, Plumbing inspector. His plumbing system passed the first, but did not pass the second test, and had been red tagged by Mr. Boyd. There was much discussion on his problem and as to the probable cause. Mr. Marier moved to waive the 10 day oompliance on the red tag and to have Mr. Boyd and Mr. Melchor at the next meeting in order to resolve their differences. Seconded by Mr. CArdinal. Motion Carried. Mr. Marier questioned the requisitions for plugs, points and condensers for the Police Cars and the truck.
