Since Mr. Locher would be here later, the matter was tabled until then. The Clerk reported that Mr. Lefebvre had suggested that the Clerk be designated as Registration Judge on Election Day.

The Clerk had also received a letter and statement from the League of Minnesota Municipalities. She was instructed to write to the League and inform them that a 2.1_ Oct. 23, 1973 we are dropping our membership in that orginazation. The Village has recieved the State Aid to the Police Department in the amount of $2389.95. The Clerk reported that all Quit Claim Deeds for Maple Street are in and signed also, the Deeds for the two lots for the cross street are here. Mr. Jaworski reported that Mr. Backlin had run into a problem on 77th Street with the power poles. The poles will have to be moved and some trees removed. Mr. Zelinka moved to have the Attorney check into any problems we might have in connection with this street. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Alan Robinson for an explanation of the building on his sod farm located on Main Street. Mr. Robinson said the building was put up for agricultural purposes only. This is an office and shop in connection with his sod business. At the present time he is selling snowmoblies, but this is a temporary thing and is only done as a hobby. He felt that by this time next year he would probably be out of the business of selling snowmobiles. He repeated that the building was erected primarily for agricultural purposes. Mr. Marier said the intent was fine but the fact that he is selling snowmobiles out of the building makes him in violation of the Ordinance. Mr. Marier moved that Mr. Robinson appear before the P &Z for a special use permit. In the interum period he should apply for a building permit. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Robinson said as for the sign, he will pay for the sign permit providing it is billed to him. The last two years the sign permit has been billed to Lino Lakes Marine and it should be billed to Lino Lakes Snowmobile. The Clerk will correct this. The Clerk was instructed to put Mr. Robinson on the November 21, 1973 P &Z agenda. Mr. Letendre.appeared before the Council to answer questions on the operations at the Skyline Auto Body location. He explained that part of the building is leased to Able Systems. They bring in steel beams, cut them to measurements, do some welding, paint them and then the materials are sent to the building site. There is no fire or smoke in connection with the operation and there is less noise than that created by the body shop operation. Mr. Marier felt there was two problems here. 1) The special Zoning granted was for a body shop operation and now part has been leased to Able Systems for fabrication of steel buildings. 2) The requirements of screening set forth in the original permit has not been done. Mr. LeTendre said the screening and fencing has not been done because they did not have the funds to do it with. They had installed 881' of fencing just this day. There was discussion on the zoning of the land. Mr. LeTendre thought that when they bought the land that the entire parcels was zoned commercial. The Council felt that only the front 300' was zoned as such. Mr. LeTendre said he would check into this. Mr. LeTendre asked what the next step was for them. Mr. Bohjanen said they will have to appear before the P &Z for a special use permit. 212 Oct. 23, 1973 Mr. Marier reported that this had been discussed at the last P &Z even though they were not on the agenda. The concern of the P &Z was there was a business within a business. Mr. Frazer, from the audience, felt that new businesses should not be discouraged. IIIL He had been fighting Mr. Bruder's use of his land for ten years and nothing had been done about that situtation. Mr. Bohjanen reminded Mr. Frazer that Mr. Bruder had been in court dozens of times, fined, spent time in jail and that the problem is still being worked on. Mr. LeTendre was advised that he would have to apply for a special use permit for the location beyond the one stated on the permit he now has. He will stop in the Clerk's office for the necessary forms. He was also advised that in order to install a fence with a safety arm of barbed wire he would need a conditional permit. Mr. Marier reported on the P &Z meeting held on October 17, 1973. Mr. Betz had appeared before the Board seeking permission to pull a camping trailer onto some property he owns on Rolling Hill Drive and live there for approximately 6 months in the summer months. This would be a self - contained unit. There is a deep well located on the property, so water would be no problem. The Planning and Zoning has recommended denial of this request. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Pete Scherer had appeared with the request to open a doll museum in his home located on 64th Street. He has plenty of parking area, the museum would only be open by appointment, there would be a slight admission charge to defray cost of insurance since some of these dolls are antiques and quite valuable. The Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of the request. Mr. Marier moved to consider the request and to set the first hearing for November 21, 1973, and Mr. Locher to attend that meeting. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Marier made note of the fact that Skyline Auto Body is on the November agenda.

These trunk lines would be locally owned. There was discussion on this and the fact that lines that cross boundaries are Metro Interceptor. No action was taken. 1 1 Oct. 23, 1973 Mr. Bohjanen asked for suggested names for the Chairman and his Advisory Board to serve on the Forest Lake Community Education Program. He requested that each Councilman have one or two names for consideration by the next Council meeting. He also reported that Mrs. Sarner will be on the Advisory Board for the Centennial School District. Mr. Cardinal was absent but the Park Board had brought their minutes to the Clerk's office and Mr. Bohjanen reported on this. Mr Kent will arrange for the trailer to be used as a warming house and the Park Board will stake out the skating rink at the Hall. They will also check on poles for the lighting and will sumit a schedule of caretakers for the warming house. There was a discussion on poles for lights. Mr. Marier and Mr. Zelinka will do some checking and report back. Mr. Jaworski presented preliminary specs for the storage building to be built in the spring. The size was 40'X80'. There was discussion on the width. The Council feeling that the footage should be in increments of twelve, thus avoiding penalty because of waste. Mr. Jaworski is to contact builders of this type of building on this question. Mr. Jaworski moved to have the specs for the building drawn up by Engineer. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. The repair of the brakes on the 1970 Plymouth was discussed. There was two bids. Mr. Hager felt that we should do a complete job including the turning of the drums. There was some question of how much longer this car would be used by the Police department since a new one is in the 1974 budget. Mr. Zelinka moved to accept the bid from Apitz Garage. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Mr. Backlin reported that the rear end in the 1973 Plymouth is still not working correctly. Also the last time the car was in, the mechanics had lowered the front end by 4" and the front tires are beginning to wear. He suggested sending a telegram or a registered letter to the Sales Manager of the Chrysler Corporation itemizing the work done and detailing the trouble. The Council instructed the Clerk to write such a letter. Mr. Zelinka presented the revised application form for the Police Department and since -all members had a copy, he moved that this form be approved. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Since the demand for these blanks is relatively light, the Clerk was instructed to cut stencils and run them on the mimeograph. Mr. Zelinka also requested that the Building Inspector be directed to inspect the burned out house on Gladstone in the Lakeview area, fine the owner and either direct him to repair or raze. The Building Inspector is also to report back at the next Council meeting with his recommendations for partially completed buildings and buildings he would condemn. Mr. Zelinka also felt that the Enviornmental Commission should be informed of the progress in connection with the gravel pit. He requested that the Clerk write a letter to Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Bohjanen the procedure for hiring a Deputy Clerk. Mr. Bohjanen said the Clerk- Treasurer has been doing it. Mr. Marier said she has no authority to do so, The hiring of the Deputy -Clerk must go through the Council. Mr. Zelinka said he would take this up with the Personnel Commission at their next meeting.

Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka asked that the Clerk write a job description for the Deputy - Clerk's position. Under old business, the matter on paying the bills for the work done in Lino Park in conjunction with the Lions Club was discussed. The Council felt that we could not enter into a joint fund with the Lions Club because they are a corporation and this would be illegal for a Village. It was decided that the Lions Club will pay the bills until their designated amount is exhausted, the bills will be sent to the Village to be paid and entered against the amount designated by the Village to be spent on that particular project. No Bills are to be for $500.00 or more. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve Requisitions #313 through #322.. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried.
