the tax rolls. The assessments dbuld be paid by those benefiting directly.
We are premature on all this - we must think of the tax payer first.
The problem of knowing how, many homes will be built in the future was discussed.
Jandric really isn't building too fast right now and they don't let us know
how many potential townhouses they plan.
Mr. Gotwald felt that he and Mr. Locher should meet with the Sewer Board first
to delay the 1971 bill and part of the 1972 charges, and then come up with a
feasability study. Mr. Locher said he is going to draft a letter tomorrow to
get on the Metro's agenda. It takes some time to do this,. Also, he will
write Jandric and Glenn Rehbein to ascertain what their projected building
plans are for the next 5 to 7 years respectively.
After long discussion Mr. Bohjanen stated that we need a workable formula in
order to assess the benefited property owners and that we should settle on some
policy but for the time being; delay - not defer.
Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 10 :55. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried
unanimously.
Minutes approved at the meeting of March 27, 1972
Joan Heath, Deputy -Clerk
3/13/72
The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on March 13, 1972
was called to order by Mayor Bohjanen with all members present as well es
Attorney Locher and Engineer Gotwald. Clerk- Treasurer June Emerton took notes.
Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the minutes of the February 28, 1972 meeting as
corrected. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Dan Heimer, member of the Board of Directors of the Northwest Saddle Club,
presented the Club's case for keeping the trailer home on the premises. He
stated that the new Board of Directors would meet the following evening to
make a decision on whether to build a caretaker's home or to enlarge the exist-
ing building to include such facilities, or some other alternative. Mr. Heimer
stated that having a caretaker present had eliminated the vandalism. It was
decided that we would give the Northwest Saddle Club two weeks to send us a
letter on their intentions, and if they wanted to keep the trailer to give us
some assurance that there would be some construction within 90 days.
The hearing for S. Wilson was set for 8 :15 p.m., but no one from the Riding
Stable was present. The Clerk noted that they had not picked up her letter from
the Hugo post office and it had been returned. It was decided to leave the
matter open during the meeting until they might arrive.
Wally Hill was asked to give a report on the 1971 audit. Mr. Hill noted that
the report gets bigger each year and that none of the Funds had ended up in the
red. He touched on several aspects of the report and answered questions. He
recommended that the Village should require the Bank Depository to give us
additional collateral to cover the amount of money we expect to handle during
the year, particularly when receiving bond sale monies; this doesn't cost either
the bank or us anything. Mr. Locher noted that we should perhaps insure our
municipal building for a larger amount than the $100,000 now in force since the
cost of rebuilding it would be higher. Mr. Gotwald suggested that we contact
V4ttsop,Construction to see how much more it would cost to build it today, and
3/13/72
also inflate the cost of the equipment. After further discussion, the Clerk
was instructed to contact Mattson Construction by letter to give us an answer
by letter, and then to have our agent get a rate after we determine what it
would cost.
Mr. Marier asked why the loan on the truck hadn't been included under capital
outlay; Mr. Hill explained why and noted that it isn't usually done this way.
There was discussion on what is included under snow removal; the Clerk stated
that the Council had wished to include the snow removal labor under the heading
of "all salaries" in the Road and Bridge Fund during the past two years; thus
"snow removal" only reflected expenditures for salt sand, snow fence and the
contracture' work by Columbus for actual snow removal. It was felt that our
budget will be broken down considerably more this fall. Mr. Hill left.
The Clerk reported receipt of $1035.47 in final 1970 and 1971 sales tax aids;
municipal court fines for February were $42.50. A letter from Shoreview acknow-
ledged our inquiry on sewer service; they will meet with Carley and the sewer
Board. The affidavit of publication on Ord. #31D was received as was a notice
from the League on the annual C.C. Ludwig award - copies will be made.
Don Waalen had requested that the final plat of Chomonix South be put on the
next agenda. Mr. Marier felt this should go to the P&Z. The matter was put on
the agenda of the April 19th P&Z meeting at 8:30 p.m. and the same time at the
following Council meeting.
At the Clerk's request, Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt Resolution 8 to transfer
the remaining balance of $63.38 in the Municipal Building Fund into the Debt
Redemption Fund #1 restroactive to January 1, 1972. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
Carried unanimously.
An inquiry was received concerning putting a trailer house on a lot; the Clerk
was instructed to send the current ordinances regarding trailers. Mr. Van
Housen had brought in recommendations on matters before the P&Z; Mr. Marier
asked for a copy.
Mr. Cardinal had no report.
Mr. Jaworski had met with Columbus Twp. on the price of grader and man; they
are requesting $17.00 per hour. Mr. Jaworski questioned raising the price by
$2 per hour because of the wage freeze; he thought they might settle on a $1
per hour increase. He stated that Marvin Rehbein would charge $20 per hour,
Glenn Rehbein $16 per hour and the County $9.65 per hour plus 20% for fringe
benefits and 10% for overhead. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Jaworski to check fur-
ther with the County on the total cost per hour and whether they will be avail-
able to do work when we need them.
Mr. Jaworski had received two bids on the shop equipment and gave particulars.
He stated that Grand Avenue Ford had some used heavy duty sanders that we
could get for $25 each. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to buy two used
sanders from Grand Avenue Ford for $25 each. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
Carried unanimously.
The remaining items were discussed individually. Mr. Jaworski moved to pur-
chase the equipment as listed from NABPCO, Inc., excluding the sander and the
two electric drills, for a total cost of $1,693.24. Seconded by Mr. Marier.
Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski will come back on the drills in 2 weeks; a
purchase order and a requisition slip listing the items will be made out for the items
to be purchased.
3/13/72
Mr. Jaworski stated that these items were to stay in the Village Hall and that
we will get markers or stamps on all the equipment. Mrs. Swanson asked why we
had so many bills on motor fuels and if we supplied oil. It was noted that
slips from the charge cards were still coming in and that we had bulk oil in
barrels. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had talked to the mechanics on this and
they will use oil from the bulk containers from now on.
Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Jaworski what had been done on the county hours. He
said nothing can be done until we find out about cutting the trees, as he feels
that this is the best way of using those hours. Mr. Marier inquired about
cutting the trees on Peltier; Mr. Gotwald said that the property had been sur-
veyed and it is up to Mrs. Wilhelmy's attorney to contact us. Mr. Bohjanen
said that Roy has soneone who will cut the wood and haul it away. Mrs. Swanson
asked if we could use these men on up- grading the roads; Mr. Jaworski said Yes,
but we can't do anything until the frost breaks. Mr. Marier suggested they
clean the culverts. It was felt that Mr. Jaworski should contact the County
right away to reserve time for these men to be used here.
Mr. Marier stated that he had received a report from the Plumbing Inspector.
Mr. Boyd had made 14 separate inspections; 1 job was completed. He had had
some problems with 1 contractor on starting work before getting permits, but
this matter had been taken care of.
Mr. Marier noted that Gerald Hopkins was on the agenda but not in the audience.
Mr. Hopkins had asked to move in a 2 -car garage from St. Paul, The garage had
been inspected by Mr. Hill of the P&Z, Mr. Dupre, Bldg. Inspector, and Mr. Marier
and found to have rafters 2 feet apart and floating joists. The concensus of the
group was that it would not be advantageous to move it in and up -date it to
bring it under the code; it was denied.
Mr. Marier mentioned that Ralph L'Allier was in attendance. Mr. L'Allier com-
mented on the Open Space Advisory Board to which he had been appointed. Of the
21 people appointed to the Board so far 2 had resigned and 4 more were then
appointed; they expect to bring the total to 25 members. Ralph stated that his
views on metro parks had not changed; he is still opposed to Metro government
and to a Metro Board governing park plans. Apparently only 2 of the Board mem-
bers are opposed to metro parks whereas the rest are advocates. They will meet
with HUD officials tomorrow to see if the Metro area qualifies for Federal money.
Ralph said he wants answers to the question of why can't we preserve our wet-
lands by way of local ordinances and why shouldn't HUD give us the money to
develop this ourselves. He feels that Lino Lakes as a community should come up
with our plans and give them to the Board. Mr. Bohjanen asked if they would
want a land use plan to look at for our area; Mr. L'Allier thought they would,
and would hope it would help to accomplish this if we don't allow building per-
mits in low and lakeshore areas.
Mrs. Swanson stated she was surprised that after fighting Metro he was involved
with them; she felt he might find himself brainwashed so that he will accpet
their ideas. Mr. L'Allier had explained his position and asked her if she had
spent any time talking with the Metro people. Mrs. Swanson said No, that she
didn't want to, that since being on the Board she had talked to several persons
and had a report on some $3 million being allocated, that they are getting paid for
this work; seven on the Advisory Board had quit. The Park Board had quit.
Ralph noted that some had been reappointed. There was considerable discussion
with Ralph stating that he hoped to have some influence in their decisions by
being on the Board. He asked if she didn't want Anoka County to have any
representation on the Board. He will try to keep the Park board like it is
with no power. Mr. Marier had attended a meeting of the Advisory Board and had
1

3/13/72
questioned Sam Morgan. He had talked to Mr. Herring who made no mention
of a completed plan and that they had no commitments on this. He feels
that if we have a good stand, then we will be able to come to some agreement.
Mrs. Swanson felt that if they were going to do anything for the Metro area
the Metro Council should all meet in 1 place and all seven counties should
appear at 1 time; they should have 1 meeting per month and save some expense.
It was noted we will still have to work with them for what we want so that
all the Counties can put their ideas together.
Mrs. Swanson asked for action on a resolution similar to the suggested one for
Columbia Heights concerning control over total land use power. Mr. Marier
moved to adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #9
WHEREAS the citizens of Lino Lakes are more informed in their knowledge of
their village than anyone else, and therefore, are the best judges of the
proper and most profitable use of its land and resources in the general wel-
fare, and
WHEREAS the right to property guaranteed our citizens under the U.S. Consti-
tution extends to include the right to reasonably exercise control over that
property and to protect its value, and
WHEREAS Home -Rule city and village government, being closest to and within
closest reach of the individual citizen, is most responsive to that citizen
in the exercise of his property rights, and
WHEREAS certain metropolitan officials have announced their intention to seek
from the Minnesota Legislature, for the Metropolitan Council, TOTAL LAND USE
CONTROL in the seven- county Metropolitan area,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Council of the Village of Lino Lakes
will stoutly and regularly oppose the extension of its land use power to the
Metropolitan Council, or any other alarge governmental unit, both before the
Legislature and the Courts, and that Governor Anderson, State Senator Thorp,
Representative Plaisance, Metro Councilman Kozlak, and all other members of the
Metro Council are hereby memorialized that such is our intent.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Jaworski. The vote on the motion was unanimously
in favor. Mr. Bohjanen wished it to be noted in the minutes that the resolu-
tion will be sent to all persons listed in the resolution.
Mrs. Swanson reported that the Personnel Commission had discussed various forms
and codes. They wanted unit members on all equipment and wished that all items
be assigned to a certain department. There had been some question as to who
was to authorize the requisition slips. Council felt that all requisition slips
for usual items should go before the Council first before purchase orders are
written. Mrs. Swanson said the Commission had talked about field orders under
a certain limit - these would have to have a requisition slip within 24 hours.
The Council agreed that the requisition slips would be made up on the mimeo-
graph and wished Mrs. Swanson to get two estimates at least on purchase orders.
Mr. Marier moved to purchase interlocking paper board stencils at $5.49 for
marking the equipment, along with a brush and paint, for about $9 total. Sec -
onded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.

3/13/72
Mrs. Swanson had narrowed down the possibilities for a calculator for the Asses-
sor's office to a Commodore for $245 minus 10% and a similar Sears model for
$237 minus 10 %. The Commodore electronic has a floating decimal; the Coon
Rapids offices use these and are satisfied. The Sears, model has more features
such as rounding off decimals which would be useful in fuguring the gasoline
usuage. It was noted that we should have something to use while we repair the
old machine. Mrs. Swanson said that the Commodore people would also repair
the old machine for $25 to $55. Mr. Cardinal felt that we should have a sepa-
rate machine for both the Clerk and Assessor to eliminate running back and forth
between the offices.,
Mrs. Swanson moved to buy the Sears electronic model for $237 minus 10 %. Sec-
onded by Mr, Jaworski. Glenn Rehbein suggested trying them out first as there
is a lot of difference between models. Vote: Aye -- Jaworski and Swanson; No --
Cardinal, Bohjanen and Marier. Motion failed.
Mrs. Swanson moved to buy the Commodore electronic calculator at $245 minus 10%.
Seconded by Mr. Jaworski.. Vote: Aye -- Jaworski and Swanson; No -- Cardinal,
Marier and Bohjanen. Motion failed. Mr. Marier suggested getting a Commodore
to try out.
Mrs. Swanson stated that they would discuss gasoline procedure at the net
Personnel Commission meeting. She wished to see the accounting on the gasoline
done in the office by the Clerk, and not by the Roads Supervisor.
Mrs. Swanson stated that she is still perturbed about what is going on on the
skating rinks and suggested that net year we get equipment so that we can
keep track of the money, and don't spend so much money on people cleaning rinks.
Mr. Jaworski noted that we will still need men to operate the equipment. Mrs.
Swanson couldn't see 13 and 14 years olds getting $165 and $2.65 per hour; She
was told that $1.65 is the minimum wage. Mrs. Swanson stated that another place
had 11 rinks and only 3 men to take care of the, and we have 3 rinks and 7 men
working on them.
Mr. Locher had received a letter from the Clerk of Court concerning the Safe -
ways Movers case decision. He read the letter which stated that the man had
been found guility and fined $25. He may appeal.
Mr. Locher had talked to Mr. Marier and John McLean about Roger Barnes who
wants to operate a used car sales lot across from the trailer court on Hodgson
Road. This would be in the name of Myrum and Pearson; it will be discussed
further at the P&Z.
Mr. Locher had received a call from a prospective buyer of 20 acres of land
owned by Forrest Tagg on 4th Avenue. This person would like to use the barn
for storing metal parts for resale, and is thinking about putting in an office
as well later; this will go the P&Z.
Mr. Locher reported that Mr. Astrup had investigated the Richard Roberts farm
and found they had about 25 head of cattle and 100 head of hogs; the hogs are
being kept in 3 separate locations. He is feeding "a little" garbage. The
number of hogs has been reduced, but many are in evidence; however, some are
nearly ready to go to market.
Mx. Locher reported that he gone to court to show cause on Leo Bruder; Mr.
Bruder had been sentenced to 30 days in jail under the Huber Law. If Mr. Bruder
does not clean up, he will be faced with another citation. Mr. Locher noted
that he does not like to see a fellow in jail if he is working, but sometimes
it is necessary.
3/13/72
Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher if he had finished the questionnaire on legal
costs; he said No. Mr. Bohjanen stated that in conjunction with the letter
sent to the MSB, the Village Engineer, Planner, Attorney and himself would go
down for the hearing and another Board members who wished to attend.
Mr. Locher had represented us in the gas case regarding Circle Pines Utilities
servicing Molin Concrete; Mr. Bohjanen had attended also. Judge Bakke had
taken the case under advisement and will render a decision later.
Mr. Locher stated that he had talked with Glenn Rehbein about his 5 -year plans;
he has a call into Mr. Busch about what Jandric is going to do.
201
Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Locher if Richard Roberts wasn't supposed to get the
number of hogs down to 50. This was discussed; Mr. Locher felt that Mr. Roberts
was testing the market before selling. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mrs. Swanson if she
had received any complaints; she stated that she hadn't but this wasn't the
point, that the man had not complied with the stipulations. Mr. Bohjanen said
that he had called all the people around Mr. Robert's farm and none had any
complaints. Mr. Jaworski noted that the feeding of garbage had been the main
problem. Mr. Cardinal thought that some of the pigs might be slow gainers.
Following discussion, the Clerk was instructed to look up the minutes from
November on Mr. Roberts' hearing, and to write to Mr. Roberts asking him to
report to the Council at the first meeting in April.
Mr. Gotwald had no report. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher if he had seen any-
thing that all burning outside in Minnesota must cease by July 1st. Mr. Locher
hadn't heard anything about this or any more on our PCA variance request.
Mr. Bohjanen had attended the Metro Sewer Board advisory meeting in Blaine.
They will have another meeting to get reports from individuals and what are and
what aren't metro benefits. There was some dispute over the draft of the bill,
and that the bills in the metro area are not comprehensive. Mr. Bohjanen felt
we should see if the lake chain could be a metro benefit. We should see what
kind of rates they are going to charge and if they will have a metro hookup
charge; they can't call it a hookup charge, but a charge will be made. It
makes you wonder how we will be billed for this. If anyone has ideas they can
submit them for consideration.
Mr. Bohjanen had attended a weed conference in Anoke; he will give the materials
to Mr. Ellingsen. Mr. Bohjanen had gotten materials on the State Fire School
to be held on April 24 -27th at the Nicollet Hotel. He felt that the Fire Mar-
shal should attend portions of this school pertaining to the use of various
equipment and that he should be reimbursed for work time lost. There was some
discussion. Mr. Livingston will decide which session of the school to attend
and report back.
Mr. Bohjanen had gotten a letter from Anoka County Council of Economic Oppor-
tunity on the Neighborhood Youth Corps program hiring high - school students from
low - income families at $1.65 per hour to help such persons to stay in school.
Mayors are to help plan this. He asked the Clerk to make copies for the Per-
sonnel Commission. He had received verified census figures showing our 1970
census population to be 3692 in 782 living units for an average of 4.44 persons
per living unit. The State average is 2.98 persons per unit.
Mr. Bohjanen had received a late request from the County Agricultural Extension
Bureau to determine the number of dead trees in the community; these can be
re- cycled. He wondered who would make the count. Mr. Bohjanen noted that he
and Mr. Locher had been in court all day Friday on the gas cage; he hoped that
we would get it settled soon.
3/13/72
The Clerk read the police reports for February for Lino and Centerville. Mrs.
Swanson had a question on how the number of homes to be checked is determined.
The police are to report on this at the next meeting.
Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had received a letter £ran Centerville - they want
$1000 for the police car, a '69 Ford. That figure had been used last year; the
amount we had spent on the car would be deducted. Mr. L'Allier noted that this
had been an informal offer only. After discussion it was agreed that Mr. Bohjanen
would contact them again with a counter proposal to be determined by the blue
book price and the amount we have spent on it for equipment.
No one had yet appeared in behalf of the Riding Stable. Mr. Cardinal wondered
who this S. Wilson person was as he knew several people over there but none by
that name. Mr. Jaworski felt we should prosecute as we have been more than
fair with them, but they don't seem to answer our letters. Mr. Locher noted
that we would need evidence and investigation by the police. Mr. Marier moved
to have the police investigate the matter and issue a tag. Seconded by Mr.
Jaworski. Mr. Cardinal didn't know if he was in favor of issuing these tags as
they only cost the Village money for the Attorney, the police taking time off
to appear in, court, animal oontrol, etc. The vote on the motion, after dis-
cussion, was unanimously in favor. The Clerk was instructed to leave a note
for the police to issue the tag as soon as possible.
Mr. Locher commented on the Waste Control Rules and Regulations from the Metro
Sewer Board, noting that they want us to adopt these either as a municipal code
or a supplement to our code. He felt that Mr. Gotwald should look at the regula-
tions since they contain much engineering detail. Mr. Gotwald will obtain a
copy to study and will report.
The Clerk read a bid which Mr. Backlin received from Miller Bros. Construction
stating that the estimated cost of constructing a wooden crib, material and
labor, size 61x121xB' high to meet with the balcony, to be between $475 -$500.
Mr. Backlin had supplied a catalog with metal fencing and other items. The
Council instructed Mr. Backlin to come up with a price for a metal and wire
crib, choosing the items he felt would do the job for a comparative crib.
Mr. Gotwald had submitted a letter stating that he had inspected the restora-
tion work done on the borrow pit operated by El Rehbein & Son, Inc. on the
Lloyd Erickson farm on West Rondeau Road, and that the work passed inspec-
tion. Mr. Cardinal moved to release the bonds on the borrow pit and road work
for El Rehbein & Son, Inc. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously.
Glenn Rehbein was given the floor. He asked how he stood on the sewer and water
in Shenandoah. He stated that if the Council required him to bond for the sewer
and water installation it would cost him some $822,000 in cash to do so, and he
couldn't manage this. Instead, he would have to put in wells and septic systems
or let the Village do the bonding like they did for Jandric. He noted that he
had tried to make the matter simple by doing the work himself. He mentioned
that the $292,000 cost of the Jandric systems was higher than for his, but
Jandric had only put up $50,000 in collateral, whereas we are asking him to put
up $822,000 for $235,000 worth of work, which was unfair and not feasible.
Glenn stated that he has bids on the roads now and doesn't want to fool around
while waiting for an answer on this. However, if we want him to put in wells
and septic systems, which is not right, he will do so. He has already sold
four new homes and two models; he can't keep going like this without an answer.
Glenn stated that the Council had the wrong idea on the NSP lighting - NSP only
wants to know if the Village feels that they will put street lights in the
1
1
1
203
3/13/72
plat; then they will put in the wiring before the streets are done and the work
will cost neither him nor the Village anything. Glenn stated that he lives
here, and pays about the third highest taxes in the Village; he hires Village
people to work for him. He noted that we are indebted with the Jandric bonds.
Glenn suggested that the Village deed back the Shenandoah streets to him so he
can do all the work and then deed them back when the work is completed. He
stated that even if Pemtom or some other large builder were to cane in they
couldn't bond like this. He would provide a performance bond.
There was a very lengthy discussion with Glenn answering questions and stating
his feelings several times. Points brought out by the Council were that we
didn't want to get involved with any more sewer because this would increase the
flowage and the Metro bill; that there wasn't enough liability in case something
went wrong or Glenn went defunct; that the Village shouldn't have to haul the
sewage after they accept the system until the interceptor is hooked up. Mr.
Gotwald stated that most villages allow the contractor to do his own work and
only require a bond for road work; the contractor covers all engineering costs;
it only takes from 6 weeks to 2 months to do the sewer and water work and it is
not feasible to require bonding for such a short time; contractors automatically
carry bonds for liability. Glenn stated that he carries $1 million in liability
insurance.
Glenn was willing to put in writing that he would give over the sewer and water
systems for $1. The whole 40 acres will be developed before the streets are
put in and the Village takes them over. Tlenn offered to take care of the
pumping if he gets done before the interceptor comes in or turn it over to the
MSB to pump; this is the Sewer Board's decision. Mr. Gotwald noted that any
village pumping of sewage would be back- charged to the customers anyway. He
stressed that utilities are the responsibility of the Village, but this is
assessed to the customers.
Glenn noted fiat the streets can't be completed before people move in, but the
sewer and water will be complete; he will put up insurance and lien waivers.
Mr. Locher stated that the Village will not be responsible for the contractors
doing the work; we only supervise the engineering. Mr. Marier responded to
Glenn's comparisons with Jandric that he (Marier) didn't give Jandric the authority
or he wouldn't be there.
Mr. Bohjanen asked for the other's opinions. Mr. Jaworski felt that if the
Village is not liable in any way, he had no objection. Mr. Bohjanen asked if
the sewer and water would be in before they close the loan and was told Yes.
Mr. Cardinal stated that if Glenn accepts the liability there is no problem; he
noted that before we were asked why developers couldn't get sewer and water
before the streets were done and here Glenn wants to do this. Mr. Marier felt
there were a few legal things to take care of first. There was some discussion.
Mr. Gotwald commented that Glenn can't get a loan if this is not bona fide so
that he can reap a profit on the venture. Before anybody allows a contractor
to dig they need to get approvals.
Glenn stated that he plans to build 40 homes per year if he can only get going.
The second part of Shenandoah will have another 57 lots. There was discussion
on how to pay the Metro Sewer billing and on the portions designated for usage
and capacity. Glenn noted that he was trying to build homes to help pay this
off. Mr. Marier stated that without these tomes we won't have to worry about
it. Glenn stated again that he wanted to get the okays so he can get an idea
of how to go; if the Council won't allow him to go on his sewer and water, then
he will come in tomorrow for cesspool permits. He wants to do it like Jandric,
but not ask for bonds, and he will save money. Mr. Marier said that when you
204
3/13/72
talk about the Jandric project, it was ridiculous to go the route we did. They
will have 200 homes and we have a $5 million bill. He felt the question was
how are you going to put in the sewer and who pays what. He asked why Glenn
should throw a Metro Sewer bill against the Village if it isn't necessary,
especially when it doubles the bill of the year before.
Mr. Marier and Mr. Gotwald discussed the Metro interceptor and progress so far.
Mr. Gotwald stated that perhaps the new Council members don't realize that when
the Metro says they are going to do something they are committed. He gave the
past history of the sewer plans for the Jandric project, and noted that the
work on the interceptor should not be labeled a feasibility study but a pre-
liminary engineering study.
Mr. Marier asked Glenn if he could get financing on wells and septic systems.
Glenn said that he could but it would not be so good; and then in one or two
years time, the people will demand sewer and the Village will have to rebuild
the streets to put it in. He noted this is silly when you have sewerdown the
road one mile. Glenn felt the line will go to Centerville even if Jandric
wasn't there. There wads more disctuussion.
Mr. Cardinal movedt hatoit 3ssthe village's intent that Glenn Rehbein put in
his own sewer and water in the Shenandoah Plat according to Village specifica-
tions, if he gets Metro Sewer Board approval, and subject to the following
stipulations:
1. That Glenn take care of all liabilities so the Village will not be
responsible, in that his company would obtain an endorsement on insur-
ance and a save- harmless agreement.
2. That the work be inspected by our Engineer for workmanship.
3. That Glenn pay all legal fees and any other expenses that will be billed
back to him as contractor.
4. That he continue to pump the sewage at his own expense until the inter-
ceptor is hooked up; it will be his responsibility to dispose of sewage.
5. That lien waivers would be provided for materials and labor.
6. That he obtain clearance with the Metro Sewer Board.
7. That he provide a bond in the amount of 1 1/2 times the estimated cost of
construction of the roads.
8. That he turn over the sewer ancl water systems for $1.
Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. Gotwald said that he doesn't feel that a private
individual can pump sewage, but that MSB will stipulate arrangements. Glenn
said that he has turned in a bid on the road construction to Mr. Gotwald. Mr.
Gotwald said he will write a letter to the Council and submit his bid with it.
Mr. Locher stated that the bond is to be posted within 30 days of the Metro
Sewer Board approval. Vote on the motion was unanimously in favor.
Mr. Marier had attended a meeting of Senate and House committee on March 9th
regarding airports. George Pencock had stated that if MAC and the Metro Council
don't agree on a site before December, the Legislature will have to act. This
would be done in July or August, and property taken by the following December.
He had been told that MSB has sufficient capacity for 30 years of development.
Ralph L'Allier noted that this has nothing to do with where development goes;
they want to see this area saved for park. Glenn thought one could say that he
is trying to keep the park out.
Mr. Gotwald answered questions on the Marvin Rehbein bill and the Carley bill.
He noted the following: about $45,000 was left on the lift station; Marvin will
be within 5% of the original bid, maybe $4 -5000 over; the hydrant wrenches will
belong to the Village; engineering costs were under the estimated costs; he will
provide a breakdown on these at the end of the job. Mr. Cardinal stated that
the wrenches included four hydrant wrenches and one valve -seat wrench.

Mayor Bohjanen asked for corrections to the minutes of the regular March 13th
meeting. Mrs. Swanson stated that she had lots of corrections, that she wanted
the Clerk to do the whole minutes over, that everything was left up in the air.
For example, on Page 1 there were no questions which the Council had asked of
Wally Hill, that they had talked about sewers, for example; this was not com-
plete on the audit report. She thought the questions should be exactly as
asked and answered. Mr. Jaworski stated that then we should go back to a tape
recorder.
The Clerk noted that according to the League Handbook, the Clerk can word the
minutes as she wishes as long as all motions are recorded exactly. Mrs. Swanson
stated that whatever was said should be entered. She noted also that Ralph
L'Allier's report had taken up quite a bit of time and more should have been
included on }.t; for instance, she had mentioned something about the St. Paul
papers carrying an announcement. She wished the Clerk to put in the names of
all who ask and answer questions.
Mr. Jaworski noted that in reference to correction No. 11, that the number of
rinks in the Village is 5, and that our men are part time whereas the 3 men
in the other place are full time. Mrs. Swanson asked where the other 2 parks
were: Mr. Jaworski stated these are at Lino Park and at the Village Hall. Mrs.
Swanson stated that all of the time slips she had analyzed stated that the work
was done at Sunrise Park.
Mr. Marier moved to approve the minutes as corrected and to put the corrections
on the first page of the next minutes. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Bohjanen called on Mrs. Caron who had asked to use the Hall every Thursday
evening for the TOPS Club. Mr. Bohjanen noted that the Enciromental Commission
meets on the third Thursday and the Civil Defense Auxiliary on the second Thursday
of each month. Mrs. Swanson asked if food was involved; Mrs. Caron said
No. Mr. Bohjanen stated that it has been the policy to let a group use the Hall
for 1 night per month so we don't tie it up. He noted that Tuesdays are open,
and asked Mrs. Caron if she would like to change nights. Mrs. Swanson asked if
we can have the Hall tied up for 4 nights per month, noting that there are
meetings on every night of the week except Friday nights.
Mr. Cardinal saw no objections for Tuesday nights. Mrs. Caron said they can
give up a night if something else was scheduled; also, they only meet for one
hour. Mr. Marier asked if 7 to 8 p.m. would do. Mrs. Swanson said if there
