The minutes approved at the meeting of Oct. 9, 1973. Clerk- Treasurer Oct. 9, 1973 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Vi I lage counci I was cal led to order on Oct. 9, 1973 at 8:05P.M. by Mayor Bohjanen. Counci Imen present; Cardinal, Jaworski, Marier, Zelinka. Mr. Locher and Mr. Gotwald were also present.

The Clerk reported that the First Federal Revenue Sharing payment in the amount of $7188.00 had been recieved. The Metro Sewer Board agenda for Oct. 10, 1973 includes the Engeering agreement for- the Lino Lakes - Centervi Ile interceptor. 206 Oct. 9, 1973 Mr. Stan ley Petersen, the Community Education Di rector for School District No. 831 was here to explain their program. This program encompasses a l l age groups from pre - schoolers to retired persons and covers all areas of activities - sports to art classes and study groups. He gave a resume of the financial structure of the orginazation and the communities involved in the program. He said the program is control led by an Advisory Council with members coming from each supporting community. This program wi I I probably be financed by a $1.00 per capita levy for the 1974 - 75 school year. Mr. Z e l i n k a asked about participation in the program if we did not contribute. Mr. Petersen said that the decision of the Adivsory Council was, that without support, our Village would have no voice in the decision made by that body. He assured the Council that the programs already in operation within our Village would continue whether we came into the orginazation or not. Mr. Jaworski asked how peon le who do not have children in the school, could get information as to the program and the activities offered. Mr. Petersen said that he has been using the Forest Lake Times and the Peach for publicity. He has hopes of getting a brochure together that could be delivered to each box holder i n the District. Mr. Jaworski asked if the $1.00 per capita assessed levy would be over and above the contributions made by the communities? Mr. Petersen said this levy would be in lieu of the contributions. Mr. Petersen suggested that if the Vi I l age wanted in the program, that the Council name their Counci I member to represent this area and five advisory members to assist the Chairman. After we have officially signed the Joint Powers agreement, our representative would have a voice in the proceedings of the Advisory Counci I. Mr. Carlo Sooger, District 12 Coordinator, explained that his program is not as far along as the one in Forest Lake Program. The Budget is not set as yet and he was not in a position to name a figure as to what would be required from our V i I l age. What he needed now is a representative from our Vi I I age to serve on the Advisory Board. He asked that the Council name one within the next few days. Mr. Zelinka asked if the programs would coordinated between the two school Districts and could boundary lines be crossed if one offered a class that was not offered in the other? Mr. Sooger and Mr. Petersen agreed that this would not present a problem. They both felt that the working together was mandatory. There was a question as to how far the White Bear School District had progressed with simi lar plans. No one had an answev but Mr. Petersen felt that by the 1974 - 75 school year, all three school districts would be financing their program with the levy thus eliminating the contributions from local municipalities. Both men felt that this is the only equitable way the financing could be handled. Mr. Marier moved to join the Forest Lake and Centennial School Districts Community Education Program and, in the future, the White Bear program. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen had a request for a Beer license for Sunday, October 14, 1973 from 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. in conjunction with snowmobi le races sposored by the Oct. 9, 1973 2(i Drifters Snowmobile Club. Their insurance policy accompanied the request. Mr. Marier moved to grant the license. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Bohjanen questioned Mr. Dupre on the building erected on the A & L Sod Farm located on Main Street and the sign for the sale of snowmobiles at the same location. Mr. Dupre said there was no building permit, the sign is about 20 square feet and thus should have a permit. There was some discussion on whether a building permit would be required since this building is on agricultural land. Mr. Locher said since snowmobiles are being sold from this building, the use changes and there must be a permit issued and either a rezoning or variance issued for this use. Mr. Zelinka suggested the Clerk write to Mr. Robinson and request that he appear at the next Council meeting. Mr. Frazer asked if the building inspector had the power to halt construction on a building? He was told that the Building Inspector does have that power. Mr. Dupre added that some communities charge a double fee if the building is started without a permit. Mr. Locher reminded the Council that the next Council meeting wi I I be on the 23rd due to a Holiday falling on the 22nd. Mr. Zelinka had scheduled a Personnel Commission meeting for that evening. He requested that the Clerk notify all members that the meeting would be postponed until the 30th. Mr. Jaworski felt that, in the same line of thought, that Skyline Auto Body and Able Systems were also in violation of our Ordinance. He had observed them im the practice of hauling in steel beams, cutting them and then painting them. Mr. Locher read the things that are allowed under light manufacturing. They would seem to qualify but, Mr. Jaworski moved that the Clerk write and request that they also appear at the next Council meeting. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. The screening at the Molin Concrete Plant was discussed. The Clerk had written and Mr. Molin had replied by phone and had said that he would send a letter. Mr. Marier moved that if a letter is not received within the next week, that he also be requested to appear at the Council meeting. The addition to the pole barn by Glen Rehbein was discussed. Mr. Marier requested the date and number of the building permit. The permit was numbered 413 and was dated September 25, 1973. Mr. Dupre said the structure is completed. Mr. Marier moved that Mr. Rehbein be asked to appear at the next Council meeting and explain why he built before obtaining a permit. Seconded by Mr Zelinka. Mr. Jaworski asked what purpose this would serve except to reprimand Mr. Rehbein and this could be done by letter. The motion carried with Mr Jaworski voting, No. Mr. Dupre was also questioned on building permits for Forjay. He said there was a permit for the storage building° Mr. Bohjanen said he thought this had been settled that since this had been as an agricultural operation, no building permits are required. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Dupre if he can get around the Vi I lage to inspect for the construction of buildings without permits? Mr. Dupre said that he didn't have that much time since this is time consuming. Mr. Cardinal asked if any one ever reported on new construction to him. Mr. Dupre said that some times the Police did. Mr. Zelinka said there are a number of bui ldings in the Vi I lage that are in various stages of construction. He wondered if the owners could be requested to either complete the construction or remove them. Mr. Frazer said that the 2J8 Oct. 9, 1973 pole barn erected by Mr. Bruder quite a few years ago is sti I I not completed and that the garage on the property has been hit by trucks so many times that it is a hazard. Mr. Locher read from the Ordinance outlining the duties and responsibilities of the building inspector. Mr. Marier moved to have the Building Inspector drive the Village, spot the uncompleted and buildings and notify the Clerk of the names and addresses. The Clerk is to write to the owners informing them they thave 60 days in which to either complete the building, repair, or tear it down. These locations are to be kept on file. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Cardinal had no report from the Park Board. Mr. Jaworski reported that he has the complete plans for Lino Park Project and will present to the Council at the next meeting. He reported that he has an opportunity to obtain a Seman mixer. He moved that the Village obtain this mixer and use it to lay a surface on about 4 mile of 77th Street in order to compute the cost of the Vi I lage doing their own road work. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he had had a call about some chuck holes developing on Baldwin Lake Road also on Birch Street across from Miller's and on 24th near 80th Street. Mr. Marier said that the turn on 77th is not completed and the drain on Peltier is not working properly for water run - off. Mr. Jaworski said he would have Mr. Backlin take a look at Baldwin Lake Road, Birch Street is a County Road and the problem on 24th he knew about and plans are being made for the repair. He also said that the depression on Peltier will have to be repaired. H & S will be contacted. There was some discussion of the damage done on 24th and 80th by a private party. The general consensus of the Council was that when this repair work it completed and the bill sent to the party, that it would be paid. Mr. Frazer questioned the conflicting speed signs on Sunset. He was told that this was a County Road and is posted by them. We have no control as to how it is posted. Mr. Marier reported that the Planning and Zoning is planning on completing the work on the land use map at the meeting on the 17th. The brochure is written but there are some changes to be made.

Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission had met on October 8, 1973 and had recommended to the Council the hiring of Jeffery Kirschbaum and Richard Holman fo fill the vacancies on the Police Department. Mr. Zelinka so moved . Seconded by Mr. Cardinal Motion carried. He also reported that a new application form has been drafted but since the typing is not completed he would recommend that this matter be tabled until the next meeting. The Personnel Commission had requested that the Clerk make copies of the Applicants for the Road Supervisor's position and mail to the members in order for the search for a second man to begin. 1 Oct. 9, 1973 Mr. Locher read a letter that he had received from Mr. Herbst in reply to the one written by Mr. Locher. The letter dealt with the cleaning up process that he had begun there and denying the things that Mr. Locher had written about. Mr. Ze I i nka moved that a letter be written to Mr. Herbst complimenting him on the work done and requesting that he continue until it is finished. Also, infor- ing him that he is mining without a permit and send him the Ordinance with reference to - mining. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Mr. Gotwald presented the computations on the special assessments for Lakes Addition # 3. Ater due consideration, Mr. Jaworksi moved to pass the following Resolution: The Special Assessments for lot splits per the attached computations by the Vi I lage Engineer are hereby approved and accepted. The Clerk - Treasurer is hereby directed to certify a copy of this Resolution to the County Auditor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cardinal. The vote was unanimous. Mr. Gotwald reported that the land survey on the Luther LeVesseur property had been completed. He will send copies to the Council and also the the Attorney in order for new descriptions to be written. H & S Asphalt had contacted him and he explained his computations. They had asked that he send his measurement to them. He thought there would be a new statement sent and he could see no problems. Under old business, the Flood Plan insurance was discussed. Mr. Looher had several booklets that he had received. There was same discussion on the Frsolution that must be passed by the Council and the application that must be made. The fact of cost was considered -- this is a costly insurance and the probalility of studies being required. The Council seemed to feel that most of the land that could be included in this program is already under the Water shed protection or is included in the Open Space. Mr. Marier moved to have Mr. Locher write and tell them that the Council does not feel that this insurance is a necessity for our area since we do not have a flooding problen within our Village.

The $1500.00 for Clerk and Mechanic in the Police Fund had been added in by the Clerk but this amount hab been included in total figure for salaries. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Hill recommending that the budget be adjusted to take advantage of the levy limitation. Mr. Jaworski felt that the lower budget would not effect the levy limitation for next year but would also effect our Federal Revenue Sharing. Mr. Marier felt that if the money wasn't needed it should not be levied. If it is available, it would be spent. Mr. Cardinal was concerned that if our levy is lowered, that in the future years the Village might be put in a position of having to exceed the limitation. 210 Oct. 9, 1973 Mr. Zelinka moved to add 22% to all funds with the portion for Debt # 1 being added to the General Fund, Seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
