A special meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on May 241 1971,
was called to order at 8 P.M. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present.
The meeting had been called to discuss the bids received on the well and sewer
and water laterals for the Chamonix project. However, Mr. L'Allier had received
a call from l r. Gotwald this afternoon stating that Mr. Gotwald had met with the
Fiscal Agent who had advised waiting to award the bids until the Metro Council
has met and taken official action on the 1971 projects submitted by the Metro
Sewer Board. The purpose of calling the meeting to order was to continue it to
a later date.
Mr. L'Allier stated that the problem wee that the Metro staff had gone on record
recommending to the Metro Council that they not build the interceptor. He read
from the pink memorandum from the staff: "The planning staff feels that
additional efforts should be made to preserve this area as recommended in the
short - range objectives of the Open -9paae Guide." Mr. L'&Llier stated that the
Engineer' and the Attorney had, attended the referal committee hearing, as well
as a representative of the St. Paul Water Dept, Mr. Locher and Mr, Hamblin from
the Water Dept. had testified in our behalf, noting that sewage should be diverted
from Centerville Lake. After the testimony the Referral Committee had gone on
record favoring the building of the interceptor.
Mr. L'Allier stated that he had since been told that the staff will again try
to convince the Metro Council against building the interceptor and that they
will meet sometime this week. He wished the Council to authorize_theEngineer
and the Attorney to attend that meeting and to testify since they are trying
toakeep us from developing which they may well do if there is no interceptor.
Crystal Ahlman asked if the public could help by attending the hearing and
testifying. Mx. L'Allier thought this was a good idea, but he felt that pro-
fessional testimony would bring more success. Mr. Locher noted that it was a,
matter of space, the room had been filled to capacity at the last hearing.
He noted also that they bad received late notice, commenting that the Anoka
mayor and a member,of the Council staff hadn't,known ahead about the hearing.
He thought that Crystal might select a few spokesmen since' there was a not room
for many.
Mr.,L'Allier commented that they have argued the Park thing, that it will solve
the polution problem. Crystal asked if it was not the Metro policy to have
surprise meetings; the Metro Council knows that Lino Lakes will fight. Mr.
L'Allier noted that this has been their history. Mr. Bohjanen felt that they
had poor coordination on information. Mr. L'Allier noted that if we become
too volatile, they may retailiate.
Mr. Locher noted that the Anoka-Ramsey project and the Golden Valley -New
Hope project, as well as others were rejected. This a question of priority
since there is not enough money for all the proposed projects. He had
5/24/71
pointed out that this is only Phase 1 of the interceptor, that Phase 2 is
the interceptor to. Centerville where, it is badly needed. Mr. Hamblin has
testified that St. Paul takes 1/3 of its water supply from Centerville Lake
which is poluted. Mr. Locher noted that Mr. Jaworski had been there also as well
as representatives from Jan*ric. No definite date for the next hearing has been
set.
Mr Jaworski moved to continue this meeting indefinitely until after the Metro
Council has met on the interceptor at which time we can set a date to discuss
the matter further. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren, Carried unanimously.
Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Engineer and the Fiscal Agent to attend
the continued hearing to discuss the financipl aspect of the interceptor, etc.
