The regular scheduled meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order
at 8:00 P. M., February 23, 1976, by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present;
Karth, McLean, Schneider. Absent; Zelinka. Mr. Locher had not yet arrived.
Senator Milton was present and presented Mayor Bohjanen with a copy of the Land
Use Bill being considered by the State Senate. This is the bill that had been pass-
ed out of the senate. He said he had attended this meeting to answer any quest-
ions the Council or audience might have and to meet the two new Council members.
Senator Milton said the Stadium issue is one of the more important items being
considered at this session. He said he had received over 200 letters and only
one had been in favor of the proposed stadium. Senator Milton gave his phone
number - 296 -4168 - if any one has any ideas for his consideration, he would
appreciate a call. His office is open and if anyone plans to be at the Capitol,
just call and let him know and he will make a point to be available.
Mayor Bohjanen thought all Council members should have a copy of this bill.
It should be studied and their thoughts should be forwarded to Senator Milton.
He suggested these ideas be formulated by the Special meeting scheduled for March'l,
1976.
Senator Milton said if the Council or the Residents have any ideas, now is the
time to present them, while the Legislature is in session. He felt getting ideas
across to the agencies of the Metropolitan Council is much easier while the
Legislature is in session.
He thanked the Council for their time and said he would look forward to hearing
from them. Mayor Bohjanen thanked the Senator for taking time out of his busy
schedule to attend this meeting.
Mr. Zelinka and Mr. Locher had arrived.
On considering the minutes of February 9, 1976, Mr. Karth moved to approve
the-minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
The Clerk presented the following items for Council consideration:
..The application forms and the sample Resolutions necessary for the Flood Hazard
Insurance had arrived. These were turned over to Mr. Locher for checking.
..Chief Myhre had computed the costs of the Police Department in connection with
service to the MMTC. Mr. Wilcox, of that institution had called and asked if
the bill could be submitted soon. The general feeling of the Council was this
bill was not enough. Chief Myhre was asked to explain how he arrived at the
figures. Chief Myhre said he took the amount spent on Police coverage by the
City for the year 1975 and divided the hours spent in connection with the es-
capees, including the Clerk's time, and arrived at a per hour cost figure.
After some discussion, Mr. Schneider moved to table until March 8, 1976 and
recompute the figures. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
..The Governor's Conference on State Preparedness will be held March 10, 1976
at the Hopkins House in Hopkins, Minnesota. Mayor Bohjanen requested Council
approval to authorize Mr. Charles Cape, CD Director, to attend this confernce.
Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously.
Costs for this attendance will be charged to the CD Fund. The Mayor will
also attend this conference if he can arrange his schedule to permit the time.
..Read a letter submitted to the Metropolitan Waste Control regarding Sewer
Charges. Several enclosures had been omitted from Mr. Dougherty's original

letter. Mr. Locher had requested this material. The Clerk was instructed to put
this matter on the agenda for March 8, 1976.
..Read a letter from Mr. Locher to the Union in reference to the recommendation
from Mr. Custer, Mediator. Mr. Locher had asked for certain information from the
Union dealing with the areas of agreement between the City and the Union in the
matter of the contract. Mr. Schneider said he thought there is so many different
sets of figures, that no one understands them anymore. Mr. McLean felt it imper-
ative the letter from the Union beavailable for consideration. He thought it would
be necessary to call a special meeting for consideration of this matter.
Mr. Schneider said he understood the Clerk- Typist in the Police office is scheduled
to attend school. He asked the Chief if this was so.
Chief Myhre said, Yes, Mrs. Pankratz is scheduled for school beginning March 22,
1976. He asked permission to arrange for a physical examination and a psycholog-
ical evaluation for Mr. Hillyer, who has completed the school and Mrs. Pankratz,
who is scheduled to attend. He said these examinations are necessary in order to
be reimbursed for the personnel attendance to BCA.
Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher, if any action taken on this matter would put the
pending case with the Human Rights Commission in jeopardy, one way or another.
He also asked if there had been any communications in reference to this matter and
Mr. Locher said, No, None at all.
Mr. Locher said he had not had any answer and had no idea what the situation was
on this case, but he felt action taken by the Council as to the school would not
jeopardize the case. Mr. Locher felt the Council must make a decision on this.
Mr. McLean asked if it is necessary for a Clerk- Typist in the Police Department to
have this training? Chief Myhre said all sworn officers must have this training.
Mr. McLean asked ifit was necessary for a Clerk- Typist to have this training?
He asked if this is putting additional training on a position that is not necessary?
Chief Myhre said she is scheduled for school starting March 22, 1976 as a sworn
officer. The Council will have to make a decision on this as soon as possible.
Mr. McLean felt this is a matter of classification. The Union had not considered
the position of a Clerk- Typist in their negotiations but the Mediator had included
that position in his recommendations.
Mr. Zelinka asked if the person doing the office work is used as an officier or
just for clerical work? He asked Chief Myhre if he needs a sworn officer in the
office and Chief Myhre said, No. Mr. Zelinka said if a trained sworn officer cap-
able of doing the work of a Patrolman at a certain pay scale is used for clerical
work only, this would constitute discrimination in reverse.
Mr. McLean asked the procedure toabblish the office of a sworn officer as a Clerk -
Typist? Mr. Locher felt this must be answered by the Union. The Union had only
recognized the positions of Sgt. and Patrolman in their negotiations. He felt the
Council will have to decide the need and deal with that.
Mr. McLean said with the intent of reclassification, to put a person in this school
for training, would be a waste of time and money.
Mayor Bohjanen asked what the alternative was if a sworn person was needed and
this City had none available? Chief Myhre said the juveniles could be taken to
the detention center which is near.

February 23, 1976
Mr. Zelinka asked if theeeis not officers available at the County Jail for the
searching of female prisioners and Chief Myhre said, Yes.
Mr. Zelinka moved to have the Attorney review this matter and see what can be
done to change the classification before this training becomes a fact. Seconded
by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. '_Locher read the minutes designating this positon as a Policewoman - Clerk -
Typist. Mr. McLean said as he remembered the list of duties, 95% was clerical
and 5% as a Policewoman.
Chief Myhre repeated his request to have the examinations for Mr. Hillyer and
Mrs. Pankratz. Mr. Hillyer has completed the training and these exams must be done
before reimbursement to the City.
Mr. McLean asked, if Mrs. Pankratz has these examinations, and doesn't go to the
school, will the City be compensated for the cost? Chief Myhre said, No.
Mr. Zelinka asked if these examinations are necessary and Chief Myhre said he felt
this should be required of all personnel of the Police Department whether in
connection with going to school or just being hired for a position on the force.
Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the examinations for Mr. Hillyer and for Mrs. Pankratz
providing this does not commit the Council to approve her attendance to BCA.
Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
..The Clerk reported $85.00 had been received from Anoka County as reimbursement
for gopher bounty payments.
..Reported on a letter from North Central Public Service announcing the release
of priorty numbers 1 through 450 for gas allocation. Additional releases will
be made within the next few months.
..The annual meeting of the Anoka Electric Cooperative will be held March 6, 1976
at the new Anoka Senior High School on 7th Avenue. This meeting begins at 10:00
A.M.
:.Read a letter from Montgonery Wards asking the requirements of the City in re-
ference to the installation of swimming pools. The Clerk was instructed to for-
ward this to the Planning and Zoning Board.
..Copies of the Contract with the Engineers had been received for approval and
signature. It was noted that some rates were increased but the basic fee rates
and the attendance at Council meetings had remained the same. Mr. McLean moved
to approve the Contract and authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the con-
tract. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously.
..A request from the Lino Lakes Parents Club for permission to hold a Turkey Bingo
at the Lino Elementary School on Friday, April 9, 1976 beginning at 7:30 P. M.
Mr. Zelinka moved to approve. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously.
..Reported that a second set of plans for the improving of North Road had been
received and had been forwarded to Mr. Gotwald for study.
..Read a letter from the City of Lexington stating the City Council of Lexington
agreed with the Resolution submitted by the City of Ham Lake and the City of
Lexington will support the City of Ham Lake in their endeavor.
..A letter from the City of Bloomington in reference to the stadium issue was read.
This letter suggests this issue should be put before the people in a referendum
vote. The Clerk was instructed to send copies of this letter to all Council
members. Mr. Zelinka felt if the people have to pay for this structure, they
should have a say in what is built and where. Mr. Zelinka moved to write the
City of Bloomington and to our Representatives stating if there is any indication
1

the people will have to pay for this stadium, this Council insists on a refer-
endum vote. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Bohjanen said he had had several calls from personsalong Highway #49 who
are interested in obtaining sewers. He told the people present at this meeting
only two problem areas are to be connected to the interceptor.
Mrs. Elsie Wood, from the audience, said she has a petition signed by the residents
who live along Hodgson Road (Highway #49) asking for sewers for that area.
Mr. Zelinka asked the Attorney what percentage of residents' signatures is necess-
ary for the Council to consider this matter? Mr. Locher said it must have the
signatures representing 35% of the front footage.
Mr. Zelinka asked Mrs. Wood if she knew what percentage of front footage was re-
presented on this petition and she said all but three (3) families, well over
35 %.
Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to read the names of the list. Mr. Locher said
it must be determined what percentage of the front footage is represented by this
list - it must be 35% of the total frontage.
Mr. Zelinka moved to have Mr. Locher determine if the petition is in proper order,
have the Engineer determine if this represents 35% of the front footage, if so
notify the MWCC of the interest before final decision on the route of the inter-
ceptor is made. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schneider said the last he had heard the matter of hooking into the Shoreview
interceptor was about 90% complete.
Mr. Zelinka said he understood the capacity for the Shoreview route would handle
between 800 and 900,: homes; the route to Lexington Avenue about 1300 to 1400 homes.
Mr. Schneider reported on the Park, Recreational and Enviornmental Commission
meeting held on February 16, 1976. There had been general discussion on the allow-
ing of soft ball tournaments to be held in Sunrise Park. There was a suggested
form for application. The main concern of the Commission was the selling and
consumption of 3.2% beer at these tournaments. Ordinance #6I bans this practice
except in designated picnic areas. Mr. Schneider questioned Mr. Locher on this
Section of the Ordinance.
Mr. Locher said the Council could designate certain areas for this and couid
also limit the time.
Mr. McLean said this had been done last Fall when a proposed tournament had been
approved. The tournament eventually had been cancelled. The Park Board had felt
they could operate under Sec. 19.
Mr. Schneider reported that members of the Park Board had been appointed to be
responsible for certain Parks, but all members are to make a priorty list. These
ideas will be discussed at the next meeting so the planned work for this coming
year can be organized.
There had also been discussion of the bike trail system. Mr. Ringaman will do
some checking on the planned system with the Anoka County Park Board.
Mr. Schneider reported on the cash flow report he had prepared. He noted the areas
where the amounts have been cut and the areas where the amounts have been increased
He said the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds must still be spread to funds so alloc-
ated. This will take some time yet.
Mr. Zelinka said he had recommended to the Personnel Commission that meetings begin
around the first of September, 1976 in order for the Commission to present cost
figures for Personnel for 1977. This would give the Council some idea of the
projected personnel costs before the budget hearnngs.
Mr. Schneider said he had gone over the costs allocated to the utility Department
for the operations of that department and had compared them with the amount paid
to the City by the MWCC and =felt the City was being paid more than it cost to haul
the sewage. He still has some work to do on those figures.
Mr. Schneider said CD #1706 will be needed to cover bills due in February. Mr.
Zelinka moved to authorize the Clerk to cashCD #1706. Seconded by Mr. Karth.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schneider reported this CD is designated for the Metro Sewer Fund. The Clerk
had checked with the MWCC and found the purpose for which the Metro Sewer Fund
was levied to pay has been cancelled and this City has no obligations to pay any
portion of that moneyto the MWCC. This would indicate that all CD's marked for
the Metro Sewer Fund could be transferred to the General Fund.
Mr. Locher read the proposed contract renewal from the MWCC. This renews the con-
tract for hauling sewage from Jan. I, 1976, through Dec. 31, 1976 at the same rate
of $19.00 per 5,000 gallon load.
Mr. Zelinka asked if the $19,000.00 limit is still in the contract and Mr. Locher
said, Yes. After some discussion, Mr. Zelinka moved to approve renewal of this
contract.
Mr. McLean asked Mr. Zelinka, without re- examination? The extended usage of the
equipment in serving Shenandoah could mean replacement of the tractor.
Mr. Zelinka felt that in the event there is a complete breakdown of the tractor,
some assistance may be forthcoming from the MWCC.
Mayor Bohjanen reported he had checked with Mr. Lyle Tauer. He has a tractor that
will fit the tanker and will lease to the City with a driver for $16.50 per hour.
Some felt this is too high, the going rate is approximately $15.75.
Mr. McLean felt that a different driver would not be familar with the workings of
the lift station and the City could end up paying for one of the City employees
riding along to operate the lift station. He said there had been some thought
on holding the $10,000.00 in the Metro Sewer Fund for an emergency fund in case
of truck failure.
Mr. McLean seconded Mr. Zelinka's motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schneider said one reason the anticipated income is short for February is the
payment for January haulings has not been received from the MWCC. The Clerk was
asked, do they just send a check or does the City send a statement? The Clerk
said a statement is sent within the first four days of the month setting forth
the gallons hauled and the amount due.
Mr. Zelinka questioned the requisition for the billing postcards - the penalties
1

and the due dates must be spelled out, not just marked 'Penalty'.
Mr. McLean reported on the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board held on Feb-
ruary 18, 1976. Mr. Gene Mobley, Building Inspector, had presented, several propo-
sals that will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board along with proposed
changes in the Zoning Code.
Mr. Wickett, who owns some land along County Road 'J' just West of Highway #49,
had presented an idea for a warehouse and office building. The Board had recomm-
ended he obtain a copy of Ordinance #56 and also the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
This parcel of land would have to be re -zoned for this use.
Mr. Floyd Linnell had applied for a variance to keep bees on less than five acres
of land. After some discussion, the Board asked that he apply for a special use
permit and get the consent of his neighbors. This will be considered at the
March meeting.
The Planning and Zoning Board will be working on proposed revisions in the Zon-
ing Ordinance, reworking the sign Ordinance to make it easier to handle and the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan will be reviewed. Mr. McLean said that most of this
work should be completed within the next 60 days.
On a Police matter, Mr. McLean asked if the Council members will get a copy of the
report? Mayor Bohjanen instructed Chief Myhre to make a copy of the report for
all Council members. Mr. McLean asked Mayor Bohjanen if he had answered the
report and Mayor Bohjanen said he had talked to the gentleman an Sunday, but has
not had a chance to answer the report since he has just received it. He will
contact the gentleman.
Mr. Zelinka reported on the two meeting held by the Personnel Commission. At the
meeting held on February 6, 1976, the Commission had recommended to table action
on the Public Works Supervisor for six months in order to give Mr. Karth an opport-
unity to work with Mr. Volk and see if this would make a difference.
Mr. McLean said the lack of supervision and planning ability were the major areas
that needed corrections in that position.
Mr. Zelinka said he was only reporting the recommendations of the Personnel Comm-
ission. The problem and duties of an assistant Clerk had also been discussed.
The Commission wanted more time for consideration of this. Should the person
considered be considered for bookkeeping ability as a principal requirement and
clerical second? This matter had been tabled for consideration at the Feb. 20,
1976 meeting. It had also been decided to hold a series of five meetings at two
week intervals in order to bring this commission's work up to date.
At the February 20, 1976 meeting, Mr. Johnson, Chairman, reported he had polled
the members by phone on the need for some help in *he Clerk's office. The Per-
sonnel Commission had recommended the following; 1) fill the Deputy Clerk's
position immediately; 2) this is to be a 30 day trial period on a semi -full time
basis; 3) the Deputy is to be trained to handle all positions in the Clerk's office
in order to take over in the absence of the Clerk; and 4) the Deputy Clerk is to
report directly to the Clerk as her immediate supervisor.
Mr. Schneider asked about the consideration of a part -time bookkeeper - would
this be separate from the Clerk's duties and would she still be responsible to the
Clerk? He felt someone working with the books must be on top of the figures at
all times,. He was thinking more of having a bookkeeper directly responsible to
30
February 23, 1976
the Council.
Mr. Zelinka felt this would create the same problem that has existed in the past -
no one has a supervisor.
There was discussion on why extra help is needed in the office. The log the Clerk
had kept for 17 days was discussed. The back log of work was considered. Someone
asked if it was legal to hire a Deputy Clerk without advertising.
Mr. Locher said the Deputy Clerk serves at the discretion of the Clerk. Mr. Sch-
neider reiterated all the reports that are required and the time involved.
Mr. Zelinka asked if the overload is caused by the lack of capability in the office
or the lack of time?
Mr. Schneider said the Clerk had been given a set of books that had just been carr-
ied forward. He didn't know if any one had ever sat down with the Clerk and sugg-
ested changes or not. He felt the file cabinets are in bad condition. Nothing
can be found.
Mr. Schneider moved, unless there is some legal reason for advertising, that Mrs.
Anderson be hired as recommended by the Personnel Commission. Mr. McLean asked,
How many hours per day?
There was discussion of the duties of the Clerk. Mr. Locher read those duties as
set forth by the Municipal Handbook. In the matter of a Deputy Clerk, the Mun-
icipal Handbook states, 'The Deputy Clerk is appointed by the Clerk with the consent
of the Council.' Mr. Locher said the Council can authourize the Clerk to appoint
the Deputy Clerk.
Mr. Zelinka re -read the recommendation from the Personnel Commission. Mr. Cliff
Buchan, of the Forest Lake Times, asked where the name of Mrs. Anderson was ob-
tained and from what meeting?
The Clerk said Mrs. Anderson had stopped in the office and applied for the position
after reading in the papers that the Deputy Clerk had resigned.
Mr. Schneider said that some one must be in charge in order to get this work caught
up. Mr. Schneider would like a complete list of duties. He felt if some one is
employed for the bookkeeping position they do this work without interruption pref-
errably in the enveh1ngsor on Saturdays so he can work with that person.
Mr. McLean felt the only thing the Council could consider at this time is the
overload.
Mr. Schneider asked how long it would take for a recommendation from the
Personnel Commission?
Mr. Zelinka said he also felt that some one with accounting background should
be considered. Mrs. Anderson had not been interviewed by the Personnel
Commission, but they had asked the Clerk to interview her and the Mayor.
The Clerk reported that she had talked with Mrs. Anderson this day, the Mayor
had also talked with her. Mr. Schneider and Mr. Karth had been in the office
when she was there and has spoken to her breifly.

February 23, 1976
Mr. Karth asked if there was any indication of how many of the phone calls
listed on the time log were for the Police Department? The Clerk said, No.
Since there have been some volunteers to assist in the office, Mr. Karth
suggested using one of those persons to give the Personnel Commission time
to find a permanent employee.
Mr. Schneider said the amount of time spent on the minutes is too much.
Some of the office procedures are antiquated and need to be changed.
Mr. McLean asked if the Mayor and Clerk are empowered to appoint a Deputy
Clerk? Mr. Locher said, Just the Clerk is empowered to appoint a Deputy
Clerk with the consent of the Council.
Mr. McLean asked if the Police Clerk was available to help and Chief Myhre
said, No.
Mr. Schneider moved to hire Mrs. Anderson for 2 days a weekfor the next
two weeks and consider this matter at the March 8, 1976 meeting. Seconded
by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
The Personnel Commission had also recommended for Council consideration,
the Public Works Supervisor respond directly to the Council liaison, he in
turn reports to the Council. Mr. Karth moved to approve this recommendations.
Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. McLean asked if the Personnel Commission has a job description for the
Publio -Works Supervisor? Mr. Zelinka said they are working on one in con-
junction with the one that had been complied before. Mr. McLean said he
would like this within 30 days to use as a basis for advertising purposes.
Mr. Karth reported he had asked Mr. Volk to compile a vehicle code list and
each Council member has a copy. He said he had also been asked about the in-
shop costs for repairing City vehicles. Mr. Karth had checked and the cost
to the City for repairing the vehicles in the shop is about $6.85 per hour,
a gas station charges were $8.50 per hour and the dealership is approximately
$16.00 per hour. He thought the figures justified doing the repairs here.
Mr. Karth presented the Council with a proposed street improvement program
for 1976 complete with cost figures. He said the five year plan should be
ready by the last meeting'in March and each Council member will receive a
copy of each years' proposal. These maps are color coded so the program will
be easily understood.
Mr. Schneider said he had talked with Mr. Volk on the figures presented for
the 1976 program and they are reflected in the cash flow analysis.
Mr. Karth said Mr. Volk does have a system of when to plow and when not to
plow snow. If the snow fall is 1" to 11" with no wind, the plows are out the
next working day - if the snow fall is 1" with blowing snow, the plows are out
immediately.
Mr. Rollie Anderson, Anoka County Surveyor, was in the audience. Mayor
Bohjanen apologized for the long wait.
Mr. Anderson said he hadn't minded waiting. He had enjoyed listening to the
procedure of the Council and hearing how they solved the many problems a
Council must deal with. He apologized for having missed the last meeting.
February 23,1976
Mr. Anderson had brought a corner stone with him to show the Council members.
He said the marking of Lino Lakes is progressing. Last Fall 125 of the 134
corner markers in Lino Lakes was in place - now 129 have been placed. This
rapid progress is due in part to the acquisiton of the Park Lands by Anoka
County.
Mr. Zelinka asked if the more detailed maps of the area were available? Mr.
Anderson said he had some maps for the Council members. He also had copies
of the new Anoka County maps and a clew of the State Highway maps for 1976.
He left some of the County maps for distribution by the Clerk. Mr. Anderson
said the only thing left to do in Lino Lakes is to set in the remaining few
corner markers.
Mr. Anderson said his office will also be platting County Road #14 through
Lino Lakes to Centerville. This will provide a better description for Attorn-
ies when seeking legal descriptions.
Mr. Karth asked if this will make the Highway wider? He had noticed one of
the curves on this street had been made less sharp. Mr. Anderson said he
didn't know about the widening of the highway, but, Yes, they will be chang-
ing the sharper curves.
Mr. McLean asked if this would be a 120' right - of - way? Mr. Anderson
said the County has been asking for a 120' right - of - way. This is nec-
essary to provide the proper grade to the ditches for proper drainage.
Some places the right - of - way width has been 150' due to soil conditions
on the ditch slopes.
Mayor Bohjanen asked if Old Highway #8 was also included in this study and
Mr. Anderson said, Yes.
Mr. McLean asked if there were any plans for making County Road #14 a four
lane highway through Lino Lakes?
Mr. Anderson said he didn't know. His office is just setting up the bound-
aries for the highways. He has nothing to do with the construction of the
highway. Mr. Anderson showed the Council an aerial photo of Moore Lake -
one dated 1938 and one dated 1968 showing the growth in the past 30 years.
Mr. Locher had checked the purchase agreement with Anoka County on the parcel
of land for the Park and had some changes that should be made on the agree-
ment. He had talked with Mr. Torkildson, but suggested that Mr. Kordiak and
Mr McGinley should initial concurring with the changes.
Mr. Locher reported he has the deeds for the balance of the roadway connect-
ing Hansen's Road with County Road #84.
Mr. Zelinka moved to accept the deed to the roadway. Seconded by Mr. McLean.
Motion carried unanimou$iy.
Mr. Locher reported Mrs. LeTourneau had provided a copy of a deed but it
was not signed, doesn't have the name of the person preparing the document
and it has never been filed. Mr. Locher said he has no idea who prepared the
paper.
The Flood Hazard Insurance application and instruction book had arrived.

February 23, 1976
Mr. Locher read the Resolutions that must be passed in conjunction with the
filing of the appIicat(Lon for the insurance.
Mr. Locher said the Resolutions reassert what the City is already doing. Mr.
McLean asked if there was any reference to the Shoreland Flood Plans Manage-
ment Act and Mr. Locher said, No.
Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Locher if he could see any problems with the adoption
of these Resolutions and Mr. Locher said, No. This booklet also includes
the rates that can be charged for this insurance.
Mr. Zelinka moved to approve Resolution Number One, and to authorize the
Clerk to fill out the application. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Zelinka moved to approve Resolution Number Two. Seconded by Mr. McLean.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Bohjanen reminded the Council of the meeting scheduled for March 1,
1976 at 8:00 P. M. for discussion of the revision of the Dog Ordinance.
The proposed contractors'' license is being handled by the Planning and Zon-
ing Board. He also asked the Council to have some ideas on the Land Use
Plan for submitting to Senator Milton by that meeting.
Under Old Business, Chief Myhre asked that one or more of the Council members
meet with him and talk over a plan he has for solving the impasse with the
Union in connection with the contract.
Mayor Bohjanen said the Council has been waiting for a response from the
Union for information that had been requested about a month ago.
Mr. Zelinka asked if he wanted to talk on a one to one basis or to the entire
Council? Chief Myhre said, Either way. He would lR:ke to present his ideas
and get this problem solved.
Mayor Bohjanen suggested that Chief Myhre contact each Council member and present
his idea to them on an individual basis.
Mr. Zelinka moved to approve requisitions #653 through #656 with the stip-
ulation the penalty and the due dates be printed on the utilty billing post-
