The Clerk reminded the Council of the Personnel Commission meeting on September 12, 1973 and the Open Space meeting on September 18, 1973. This date was cleared with Mr. Locher and Mr. Torki I dson's office. The Clerk reported on the fol lowing items: A letter from the MSB announcing meetings to discuss EPA regulations. The one our Village would be attending is at 9:30 A.M. on Sept. 20, 1973 at the Crystal City Hall. A letter from W.F. Lund of Diversified Insurance Services asking for an opportunity to submit a bid for insurance for the Village. The Council agreed this would be a good move for this Year. 1 1 1 1 1 Sept. 10, 1973 Letter from Metro Council announcing meetings dealing with the 1974 Work Program and Budget of the Metro Counci l . Letter from the State of Minnesota Tax Department stating the amount of State Aid the Village will receive for 1974. $67,811.01. Announcement of meeting set up by the Metro Council dealing with the Five Year Capital Improvement Program of the MSB. This meeting will be held on Sept. 12, 1973 at the Fridley City Hal 1. Mr. Bohjanen, Mr. Locher and Mr. Gotwald wi I I attend. The Vi I l age has received payment for sewage hauling from March thru July from the MSB in the amount of $2,962.50. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to have the Election Judges list ready for approval at the next Council meeting. He also requested Mr. Lcoher to report on the meeting with the County Attorney, Jandric Attorney's and himself in conjunction with the Open Space proposal in the Country Lake area. Mr. Locher reported that Mr. Jandric did not seemed to be opposed to the taking of the land, if his price was met by the County Parts Department. The most important issue is that the assessments on the property must be p a i d in order to protect the V i l l a g e . I f the golf course is taken by the Perks Department, it would then be leased to the Village for some such sum as $I.00 per year and the Village would assume the management of the course. Mr. Jaworski was concerned that this then might remain a 9 hole course and not be completed to the 18 hole course as originally set up. Mr. Torkildson felt this would be a good place for people just beginning to golf to dearn. Mr. Jaworski said this course had been designed for pro golf and would not serve as a training course. Mr. Locher said if the County condemns the land, they will then be responsible for the assessments. The Park Board would then pay them in full in order to avoid the interest. Mr. Bohjanen emphasized that this decision leaves the Village free of responsibility of protecting this property. The negotiations would be between the land owner and County. There was some discussion with residents of the Country Lake area who were concerned that the Park would encroach on their residential area. They were assured that the present plans do not include any of the lands already plotted. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Glenn Rehbein to present his plans for sewer construction in the Shenandoah area. Mr. Rehbein said Mr. Gotwald has the plans. Mr. Gotwald explained that his firm had drawn these plans on instructions from the Village. They are designed to fit into the overall comprehensive plan for the V i I l age . These plans have been submitted to the PCA and MSB and had been turned down becuase the comprehensive sewer plan for the Village had not been completed at the time they were submitted. This comprehensive plan has now been completed and filed with the PCA and MSB. There was discussion on the land use map which the P &Z is working on and the fact thdit there will be some changes but not many. There was 196 Sept. 10, 1973 also discussion on who would haul the sewage. Mr. Rehbein said he would either haul the sewage himself or pay the Village to do the hauling. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Gotwald, if these main and lateral plans are passed, wouldn't this help to insure the instal lation of the interceptor? Mr. Gotwa I dsa i d this I s one of the requirements of the MSB. He felt that if these plans are approved, then this would indicate that the interceptor is being engineered. The MSB has no desire to engage in the hauling of sewage for more and more homes for an indefinite period of time. There was some discussion on the scheduling of public hearings. Mr. Gotwald said to take this one step at a time and the first thing to do is to submit these plans for approval. Mr. Zelinka moved to submit Mr. Rehbein's sewer plans to the PCA and MSB and the land use map to the Metro Council explaining that this is a preliminary map on which the Council will take action. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka felt there should be a letter of intent from Mr. Rehbein stating that he would assume the extra cost incurred by the Village for hauling the sewage from his project. Mr. Locher drafted a; letter stating the terms under which the Village would assume the responsibility for the sewage. The Clerk will type and send a copy to Mr. Rehbein. There was a question as to when Lino Lakes and Centerville will hold public hearings on the extension of mains and laterals. Mr. Gotwald said these hearings should not be scheduled until we are certain that the interceptor is being installed. Mr. Bohjanen read a letter from Mr. Mattke of the Centennial School Distric requesting a count of building permits for single family homes from the year 1969 through 1973. He wondered if Mr. Mattka wanted the total count or just the permits for homes located within School District #12. The Clerk is to call Mr. Mattke. Mr. Bohjanen has received a letter on banning smoking in public build- ings and after the Clerk had read the letter, asked the Council their feelings on banning smoking in the Council Chambers. Mr. Cardinal moved to ban smoking in the Council Chambers for all time. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. The vote ended in a tie thus the motion failed. He had also received a letter on the Flood Plane Insurance. He asked that Mr. Locher study this and report back to the Council at their next meeting. Mr.Bruce Lindberg of 7172 Lakeview had compalined that a Vi Ilage sign was blocking entrance to his mailbox. The mailbox or the sign will have to be moved. Mr. Backlin suggested moving the sign since the present one should be replaced. He had also complained that the road has been plowed out by his mailbox so that it was not at the pro- per height. This is his responsibility. 197 Sept. 19, 1973 Mr. Cardinal had a request from the Park Board for a Mr. Stan Peterson from the Forest Lakes School District to make a presentation to the Council on the Open School plan. The Council requested that the Clerk contact him and ask that he appear at the Sept. 24, 1973 Council meeting. The Park Board had also requested the expenditures for the Park Depart- ment. The Clerk had provided this, and Mr. Cardinal has a copy. There was discussion on the old warming house at Lino Park. The decision of the Council was to salvage reusable materials from the building and to bury the remainder. Mr. Jaworski reported that he had talked with Mr. LeVessuer's son on real ingning the North line of the Park property. Mr. Jaworski had suggested starting at the post by the driveway of the Sport Shop and run a straight line at a slight angle all the way to the East boundary of the Park. This basically would have no effect on the Park. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Gotwald to meet with Mr. LeVessuer and work out a solution to this problem. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka moved to ask that Mr. LeVessuer pay the additional Engineering cost, for the deeds and extra legal cost. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski reported that the work on the roads is completed. He moved that Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Back I i n and he inspect the roads prior to the next Council meeting. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Al Ross, from the audience, thanked the Council for the work done on Ware Road. The work was very much appreciated and the job had been well done. Mr. Marier was absent. Mr. Gotwald had checked the request from North Central for an extension of their gas lines on Pine Street and Maple Street. The extension on Pine Street was not in the driving area and he could see no problem, therefore he would recommend approval of this request. The request for an extension on Maple Street he would recommend approval with the stipulation that North Central be informed that there is a possibility of that line having to be located and maybe moved when work begins on that street. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve these requests with the stipulations noted by the Engineer. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Gotwald had nothing to report on the feasibility report for the Baldwin Lake Area. They have only done some preliminary work. The balance will be completed only when the certainity of the installation of the interceptor is known. He went over some of the main points of the comprehensive sewer plan. The direction of the flow and the size of the lines will remain the same - the location of some lines could September lo, 1973 change. This is a complete gravity flow system and seems to be one favored by the MSB. Mr. Gotwald had taken a look at the roads and they looked very good to him. Mr. Locher read a letter from the Minnesota Pipeline Co. assuring the Village that the ball diamond fence and playing field would be restored to our satisfaction when the work is completed on the pipeline. He could not get the 66' easement reduced. The company maintains they need that much area. Mr. Locher said there should be two resolution passed tonight. One to allow the crossing of Village streets throughout the Village. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. The Council had consulted the maps as to where this line would cross Village streets. The pipeline crosses Pine Street and possibly 24th Ave. , There was some question on whether it would cross East Rondeau Lake Drive. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to execute the agreement. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski, Motion carried. Mr. Locher had also received a copy of the Metro Council's answer to the suit on the SAC. He also reported on action taken by the Humane Society and the Village against the Birchwood Hills Stables. A'search warrant had been obtained and was served by a Deputy Sheriff. They found three Black & White Holstein calves in a very dehydrated condition. The animals were impounded and taken to the U of M. Samples of the feed was also taken. Mr. Locher seemed to think this would help clear up the situation at that location. Mr. Jaworski brought up the subject of the Flag flying for 24 hours per day. The one up now is beginning to fray. Mr. Bohjanen said the VFW has a new one ready to be put up, and they will continue to replace the Flag whenever necessary. Mr. Jaworski wondered if the vote taken authorizing the flying of the Flag for 24 hours was a legal vote. There were only four members pre- sent at that Council meeting with two voting for, one against, one abstaining. A majority of the quorum present is necessary to pass a motion. Mr. Jaworski said that he will not vote on this issue again. Whether the Flag flies 24 hours a day or only during office hours is up to the Council. Mr. Bohjanen s a i d the Flag w i l l be rep I ace as often as necessary by the VFW and since the flagpole and the Flag are gifts to the Village, he felt that the Council should yeild to the wishes of the people who made the gifts. Mr. Bohjanen moved #o fly the Flag for 24 hours a day. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Roll call vote; Mr. Cardinal, No; Mr. Jaworski, abstain; Mr. Zelinka, Yes; Mr. Bohjanen, Yes. Motion failed for lack of a majority. 1 1 1 199 Sept. 10, 1973 Mr. Bohjanen said that he would not order the Flag taken down. If Mr. Jaworski wanted the Flag to fly only during office hours, he would have to issue the orders. Under new business, the planned use report for the Federal Revenue Sharing funds that will be received for the fiscal year July 1973 through June 1974 was discussed. The Vi I lage wi I l receive approximately $28,755.00. It was decided to put $3000.00 into expanded service for public safety, and the remainder in general goverment using 60% for construction and 40% for equipment. Some of things discussed was a storage building for Village equipment, a new patrol car for the Police department, new tractor for the Parks, full time personnel for the Police department and full time office help. There were no requisitions to consider. Mr. Cardinal moved to pay bills #5305 through #5325 inclusive. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Locher had looked over some insurance certificates received by the Clerk for sewer installers. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the application for Berghorst Plumbing and to ask the other two to provide surety bonds for $5000.00 Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Cardinal asked the Clerk to take a Vi I lage map and draw in the Park Property and leave it on the Council table for the next Park Board meeting. Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 11:00 P. °M.
