Minutes approved at the meeting of November 1960/_: PP ng 24 .' Clerk -T easurer 5.45 54.99 III 11.30 18.00 38.66 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council was called to order on Novem- ber 24, 1969 at 8:07 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present. Corrections were made and seconded to the minutes of the November 10th meeting. The Clerk reported that Mr. George Smith had not yet paid the $176.39 owing on his special use permit and rezoning; he had been billed on September 18th and had promised to pay some each week. Mr. Cardinal moved that a letter be written to Mr. Smith, with a carbon copy to Mr. John B. Pfaff, stating that if the money were not received within 30 days then the Council would withdraw the special use permit. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk mentioned that Mr. Harry Hughes had not yet turned in his survey nor paid for the variance which he had requested earlier. Mr. Bohjanen thought that Mr. Hughes had been holding off on his plans because of some tax problem. The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Hughes and perhaps write if no action were taken. The Clerk reported that she had searched the records on Twilight Acres but had been unable to find any mention of when hearings on road work were to be held. She was asked to check with Mr. Gotwald. The Clerk stated that she had written Mr. Caron on the Skelly sign and that he had come into the office to discuss it. Mr. Caron had sent a letter to the company. The Council wished that the letter be changed to request discussion on the sign rather than ask that it be removed. This will be sent to Skelly Oil. The Clerk also reported that she had checked the liquor liability insurance policies and found them all to contain the 10 -day notification clause; she also read the limits on each policy. Also, the off -sale liquor license for BKO, Inc., dba the Oasis Lounge, had cleared the State. Municipal Court fines in the amount of $7.50 for August and $157.50 for October had been received. A copy of the Metro Council's Sanitary Sewer Guide had been received and was passed around. The Clerk reported that Mr. Beckwith of the VFW had presented the post's charter and incorporation papers; however, the necessary liquor liability insurance certification had not been received. Mr. Beckwith stated that his insurance agent had mailed this. The license will be given to Mr. Beckwith upon receipt of the certification. A letter written to Mr. E. J. Lundheim by the State Department of Highways regarding the turn back of the portion of old Trunk Highway #8 located between T.H. 326 in Lino Lakes and 1-35 was read. The letter stated that a resolution from Lino Lakes would be needed before this portion of highway could be given State -Aid designation. The Clerk was instructed to make copies for each of the Council for consideration at the next meeting. Mr. Bohjanen moved to record that we were in receipt of the letter. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. 1 1 1 1 29 The Clerk asked the Council to decide on the wages which the election judges and the voter registration personnel would receive. Last year the judges had received $1.65 per hour. Mr. Jaworski stated that he had understood that they would receive $2.35 per hour. After discussion, Mr. Jaworski moved to pay the election judges and the voter registration personnel $2.35 per hour. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Clerk then presented a petition, given to her just before the meeting by Mr. Art Robyn, which was against the Village's purchasing of the land on Lake Ameilia. The wording of the petition was read; an attached sheet showed that the petition had been received by Mr. Bohjanen on November 23rd. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Locher to read again the State Law allowing a petition (requesting an election) on a purchase exceeding one per cent of the assessed valuation, if filed within 10 days of pub- lication of the notice of purchase which was published on November 14th. Lino Lakes' assessed valuation as per Mr. Ken Campbell was $1,194,605; the purchase price of the parcel was approximately $13,700. Midnight this evening would be the last time to have filed the petition. Mr. Locher also gave these observations as to who can sign a petition: 1) A person who is registered even if he did not vote can sign; 2) A person who is not registered cannot sign; 3) A person who registered on or after the election, and was thus ineligible to vote can sign, 4) A husband or wife cannot sign for each other. Mr. Locher also stated that if the evaluation is up next year, this would be found out on January 1st, then the land could be purchased without a vote. Mr. Robyn stated that there were about 140 names on the petition. Mr. Bohjanen asked him if these were registered voters or had voted in the last election. Mr. Robyn stated that he could not say for sure. Mr. Bohjanen then moved that the Council accept the petition and turn it over to the Attorney and the Clerk for tabulation; then if appears okay, the purchase is eligible for the ballot, and the Council will not act on the purchase at this time. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Motion carried unanimously. The hearing for Twitchell Cemetery was called to order at 8:39 p.m. Mr. Locher stated that he had looked over the affidavits of mailing and posting at the P&Z hearing and that all were in order; he then read the names of the persons who had been mailed notices on November 4th. He stated that the purpose of the special use permit would be to increase the area of the cemetery. Approximately one acre now was under a grand- father clause in Ordinance #6. Mr. Locher also pointed out the area on the maps. Mr. Cardinal requested that the portion of the P&Z minutes pertaining to this also be read. There were no remarks pro or con from the audience. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant a special use permit to Twitchell Cemetery Association, Inc., to maintain on and use for a cemetery, according to law, the land situate in the village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, described as follows: The East 260 feet of the South 832 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (SW 1/4 of SW 1/4) of Section 8, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota, except the East 208.75 feet of the South 208.75 feet thereof. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Hearing adjourned .at 8:45 p.m. 30 1' 7 The hearing for the Northwest Saddle Club was called to order at 8:47 p.m. The affidavits were all in order. There were no comments from the audience. The minutes of the Planning and Zoning meeting regarding this were read; they had requested the permit be denied. Mr. Bohjanen stated that we had already asked one trailer to move out which was used as protection and that we should go with the P&Z recommendation. Mr. Cardinal moved that we deny the special use permit for Northwest Saddle Club, Inc., to park, maintain, and occupy as a residence for a caretaker for said Northwest Saddle Club, Inc., a mobile home, according to law, on the land situate in the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County. Minnesota, des- cribed as follows: The Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (SE 1/4 of SE 1/4) of Section 26 Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The hearing closed at 8:48 p.m. Mr. Cardinal reported that the P&Z had discussed the sign ordinance and had added a few recommendations. Mr. Locher had the changes and read them all for the Council; these were mostly changes in distances and sizes of signs. A grandfather clause was inserted with the dates to be added later. Mr. Locher will have the revised copies for all council members for discussion at the next meeting. Mr. Cardinal also asked that they get a copy of the fees; Mr. Locher will do this. Mr. Cardinal also reported that Mr. Paul Miller of Acton Construction had previously asked for blanket rezoning, had been told to get specifics into the P&Z, he is also talking with the planner. The P&Z. hearing was continued until December 17th. Mr. Cardinal stated that the P&Z had discussed the portion of Ordinance 6 dealing with mobile homes; they recommended repealing Ord. 6, Section 5, sub., d, e, f, g, and h and replacing these with the following, "No trailer or mobile home shall be located within the limits of the Village outside of a trailer court except when the owner of a property for which a valid building permit has been issued for construction of a residence may locate said trailer or mobile home on that property during con- struction for -:a ~-pe dod not -to :exceedh 12r)months The trailer or mobile home must be serviced by adequate water and sewer facilities. Deviations from this ordinance may be made at the discretion of the Village Council in cases of extreme hardship after a hearing before and recommendations from the Board of Zoning. There was considerable comment on sane trailers now moved in the Village. the fact that the Building Inspector does not always know the intentions of persons doing so, that he has no legal basis now to deny a temporary trailer permit; this would take the responsibility off the Building Inspector. Mr. L'Allier asked that this be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Mr. Bohjanen asked what the length of a building permit is; Mr. Locher replied that this was 90 days, but it lapses unless substantial progress is shown. Mr. Rosengren commented that we can't restrict time on building if the person is making headway. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he liked 2 -90 day permits but would like time to study the proposed changes. The Clerk was instructed to write the Building Inspector telling him not to issue further temporary trailer permits until the matter is settled. Copies of the recommended changes will be sent to the Council. Mr. Jaworski moved to continue the hearing for Acton Construction to December 17th and December 22nd before the Council unless otherwise notified by Acton. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. 1 1 1 1 1 Mr. Emil Jandric, on the agenda for 9:00 p.m.,:spoke to the Council on a three -fold proposition. First, he requested that sewer and water be put in his development; they are about ready to start their sales program and he cannot see selling homes in the $50-$100,000 category which have cesspools. He could see no other way to go except for the Council to approve a sewer and water company which would be assessed to their lots only unless the Council would grant the Chromonix franchise. Also the clubhouse, costing some $600,000 would need sewer and water. It would also give the investment people a better picture. Mr. L'Allier stated he wished to regress and gave the previous action on the franchises. Mr. Jandric stated that he did not wish to pollute the lake; the lake is now up to where their eauipment had to be moved as of that day. There was discussion on the assessment, feasibility reports. getting the okay of Metro Council, not building enough homes per year to pay the bond assessment, etc. Mr. Jandric hoped that they could better North Oaks' building rate of 50-60 homes per year. He stated that each lot would be assessed whether or not a house was on it; even if he should die his estate would go ahead with the development. Mr. L'Allier asked how large was the area which would be serviced; Mr. Jandric thought that it would be 250 units for openers- -this would not include the plat now in, but this could be added on. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether the system would be designed to fit in with Metro Council plans and was told, yes. that Mr. Gotwald is aware of how it should be built. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the Metro Council was so close to specifications to do it now, and was told by Mr. Jandric that any sewer system follows the same pattern. This would not go up County Road J. The line would come out the front end of the house, down the street, ready to be picked up. Crystal Ahlman stated that if they bring the sewer up then it should be worked out so that all can hook up, by having the line big enough. The PCA work is done as far as can be done for present. Mrs. Bohjanen asked if this would be a treatment plant, and was told yes, this would be something to satisfy all. Mr. Tufts asked what area the franchise would cover and was told Jandric's development only. He then asked what the cost of the plant would be. Mr. Jandric stated that there would be holding ponds and treatment with chlorine; the cost against each lot would be from $1200 to $1600 for the 250 lots for both sewer and water. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether Mr. Jandric had indicated that he would be working with George Gotwald on the costs, etc.. and was told yes, they were working together on all of this. Mr. Bohjanen thought that if George were here, he could shed better light on this. Mrs. Tufts thought there would be an odor from the fenced in pond; this Mr. Jandric denied stating that the one at Cedar Grove gave off no odor. Mrs. Bohjanen asked if we hadn't been told before that the PCA would authorize a plant if we would get sewer within two years or so. Mr. L'Allier thought this was five years, then all would be assessed for the main line. Mr. Jandric stated that it would take two years just to get the drawings done, and that this would be a five year program. Mrs. Bohjanen thought there would still be a lot of farming area in five years. There was discussion between Mrs. Bohjanen and Mr. Jandric on the use of cesspools. Mr. L'Allier reminded everyone that this discussion was early as we are far down the list of priorities on the Metro Council's plans. Mr. Jandric also stated that an industrial development would hinge on sewer and water. Crystal Ahlman stated that industry was stuck without sewer and water: if ponds overflowed like at the Youth Center then it flows into the creek. She felt that we need a different type of assessment for farmers since we need the industry to help the taxes. 32 Mr. Jandric felt that if the Metro Council sewer wants to come up we need more industry and homes to hook up to it; in turn, it will attract more industry and homes. Mrs. Tufts asked, if the ponding area does not work what recourse these people would have, to Jandric or the Council. Mr. Jaworski mentioned that the Engineer had found nothing wrong with the evaporation pond at the Youth Center. Crystal Ahlm n stated that it overflows in rain. Mr. Rosengren stated that the Youth Center has two ponding areas and they have not even had to use the second one. Mrs. Tufts asked if this system would take the maximum development and was told no, only the 250 lots; an additional system or add on would be needed for additional homes. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that under our ordinances all construction would be under the Engineer's watch, and that he has the authority to stop a contractor. Bill Houle asked if Mr. Jandric wanted a franchise and was told no, as only with the original way could they obtain financing. Mr. Jandric stated that if they couldn't do this right then, they wouldn't build the development but only have the golf course. Mr. Houle stated that there had been objections to the franchise in Cedar Grove; Mr. Jandric answered that there are always objectors; he felt that 550- $100,000 homes need better systems than any other. Mrs. Bohjanen stated that she realized that the assessment would be to his )otb, but if something fails who would pay the assessment; Mr. Jandric felt that the price of the lots if sold would bring much more than the assessment. Mr. Roy Backlin asked if sewer and water came through, would he be assessed right away or have to pay on the main interceptor. Mr. Jandric said no. Mr. Locher clarified how the assessment would be spread out. Mr. Locher also reminded them that as of Jan. 1, 1971, the Metro Council would take over the lines, and if they take over this system through the mains, then they would pay for it as well as the pending areas. Mr. Locher also gave some of the opinions they had received from the Metro Council representatives and read state law pertaining to the assessments, stating that this assessment would not count toward our indebtedness. Sewer bonds generally run 15 years and water bonds for 10 years. Assessments must be paid before the lots can be sold. There was discussion on the green acres law and deferments as well as other programs for payment of-assessments. Mr. L'Allier stated that a written petition to the Council would be necessary. Mr. Jandric thought that his verbal request would do to see how the Council felt about the request. Mr. Locher stated that a written petition would be necessary for 'c nsideration. Mr. L'Allier felt that we should get reports from Springsted, Inc. on funds being available, from the Attorney on the legalities of the assessment, some guarantees of payments to be made, and that the Engineer should check on size and cost estimates. Mr. Jandric stated that he needed 45 days lead time, didn't want to monkey around, couldn't the Council approve the request subject to the Engineer's and Attorney's approval. Mr. Jandric also stated that he would hire a local billing clerk and turn same over to the Village with the plant. Mrs. Bohjanen asked if this was a request for the Village to put in a private operator. Mr. L'Allier answered that this would be a Village system operated by Village supervision when it pays for itself. Mr. L'Allier reiterated that we had two proposals, this system or a franchise. Mr. Bohjanen felt we should move in view of the fact of no Engineering or figures, we should all get together concrete facts for the next meeting or earlier to look at. Mr. Locher stated that a written petition must be submitted prior to the meeting. Mr. Rosengren asked if the Council would make a definite decision next 1 1 1 1 1 time. Mr. L'Allier stated that we had spent lots of time in order to protect the Village and people; however if all this is received prior to the next meeting, then a decision will be made next time. It was felt that if all reports were in by the third or fourth, we could meet sooner; Mr. Cardinal felt we could have a definite answer on the eighth. Mr. Bohjanen moved to request the fiscal agent, the Engineer and the Attorney to. prepare feasibility reports at the earliest possible date prior to the eighth for the convenience of the Council to study same; also the petition in writing by the developer must be obtained by the Clerk; no hearing will be necessary. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jandric also requested the procedure to obtain a liquor license for the clubhouse. Mr. Locher explained what was needed. The Clerk will send application forms as well as copies of Ordinances 31, 31A and 31B to Mr. Busch. Mr. Jandric asked who was doing the work on our industrial development. Mr. L'Allier explained that we have hired a planner, and that Mr. Jandric could contact Mr. McLean. Mr. Bohjanen invited Mr. Jandric to attend the C&BDC meeting on the third, and will send Mr. Jandric a copy of the brochure. Mr. Houle asked if this license would be for a club. Mr. Locher stated that state law requires a club to be in existence for ten years before it can have a club license. Mr. Jandric stated that this would be open to any guests and did not wish a club license. Mr. Charles Gottwaldt asked if this meeting would be open and was told "yes." The Park Board minutes of November 17, 1969, were read. Mr. Jaworski stated that the bulk of the discussion was on the County joint plan. Both Counties were agreeable to a park somewhere in that area. but Ramsey County objects to buying any more property now; their funds are allocated to developing the park land they now have. This then would kill the joint project in the Southeast corner of the Village. There was discussion on possibilities of parks on Lake Amelia or Bald Eagle Lake which would include Washington County also. This is now a dead issue. Mrs. Tufts asked what was so great about Lake Amelia, it having a gravel pit. Mr. Jaworski stated that this park would be left in a natural state for wildlife, including blue herons. There was discussion on the Lake Amelia land and the possible purchase with or without an election, also on Federal financing. Mr. Jaworski stated that Mr. Gotwald was checking on the survey and had stated that the area given was from the meander line --this being above the highest water level. There was approximately 19.7 acres in one lot and 5.7 acres in the other section. There was considerable audience discussion on assessments, bonds, etc. with Mr. Locher giving details which he had given the Council before. Mr. Bohjanen wanted to know about the 3 -5 acres of Jandric land at the creek to be used for park area, whether extra people and boats would hinder the development. Public access would be needed. Mr. L'Allier stated that the public could use the Jandric beach: that the Village has the option to take cash or acreage; that they had received an offer and three acres, 10 percent from Mr. Jandric for park and this would give free access. Mr. Jaworski stated that they had pursued the matter of the County Park on Centerville Lake. There had been rumors that the park was to be closed- -this had surprised Mr. Kordiak since the County Park Board has definite plans to expand the park at 34 least while he is on the Board. The County Commissioners had approved the roadway out to County Road 21. They also had plans to lease 100 acres or so from the St. Paul Water Department. Mr. Kordiak felt it would make for poor relations if they were made to get out of Centerville Park. They have no schedule for other park plans now but will notify the Village when such are drawn up. Mr. Jaworski reported that the hockey rink was up but they had no goals yet. He stated that professional -type goals would cost about $300 each, however. he could have a pair made for a total cost of $125.00 These would be made of 1 1/4" pipe and chain link fencing. Mrs. Darlene Linderman asked when the park property on Baldwin Lake would be developed. Mr. Jaworski explained that this would not be a playground type area. Mrs. Tufts asked what park area the Village planned in the north part of Lino; Mr. L'Allier stated that part of the 30 acres on Main Street would be used for park purposes. The proposed park areas on the proposed zoning map were pointed out to the audience. Mr. Rosengren moved to authorize the expenditure of $125.00 for a pair of hockey goals. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski stated that these would be ready when the ice was on the ground. Mr. Jaworski stated that he had received calls on snowmobiles in the parks. Snow- mobiles are not allowed in the park since they take down the small trees; we have no separate snowmobile ordinance as such, but any violations would be covered under the nuisance ordinance if somplaints were signed. There are three organized snow- mobile clubs in the Village; apparently it is the non - members who are causing the trouble. Mr. Scherer reported that snowmobilers had cut 8 or 9 holes in the chain link fence on 35E. Mr. Bohjanen noted that the same type people cause trouble with horses or motorcycles. He had stopped one once. There was discussion on raising of, the misdemeanor fines to $300; the State licensing all snowmobiles, policing and local problems. Mr. Jaworski reported that he had received a call about the basement left where the house on the corner of Elm Street and Highway 8 had burned down. There was fear that children might be hurt besides the basement being an eyesore. They felt that the basement should be filled in and the lot cleaned up. Mr. Cardinal moved that the police should contact the owners and ask them to fill in the basement and clean up the Oroperty besides hauling away the junk vehicles. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Rosengren reported that the snowfence had been put up; however, they still needed 14 rolls; the best price seemed to be at Knox Lumber. Mr. Jaworski moved to purchase 14 rolls of snowfence. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski also reported that the state was doing a poor job of snowplowing the intersection of Lilac Street and Fourth Avenue. The Clerk stated that she had talked with the State on this problem last spring and had been told that the State does not plow that portion of Lilac; rather, the County does. Mr. Jaworski moved to send a letter to the County to do a better job of snowplowing the intersection of Highway 326 and Fourth Avenue as well as that of Main Street and Fourth Avenue. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Rosengren reported that they had a problem on the East County Line since there were big ruts left by trucks after the gravelling and subsequent freeze. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he had talked with Blaine on the light on 35W and Sunset. There was some question as to procedure. Blaine was willing to go half on the cost 1 1 (about $50 per year); this would be put in writing when final plans were made. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize negotiation with Blaine to go half on the cost of street lighting on the freeway intersection if Lino Lakes pays for the light on Sunset and Elm and Blaine for the one on Sunset and 35W. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen asked if any of the Council members had filled in the blanks on the brochure so that these could be turned in for the next C&BDC meeting. Mr. Bohjanen asked if any billing had been received from the Planner and was told no. Mr. L'Allier reminded him that the Village had authorized the preliminary meetings. The Clerk was instructed to request monthly or periodical bills from Mr. VanHousen. Crystal Ahlman asked how she could apply for an off -sale liquor license. She was told that the forms must be received from the State Liquor Commissioner. Mr. Locher explained there would be no difference if this were issued to a corporation or an individual as long as one individual lived in the Village; the insurance would be the same. Mr. L'Allier noted that we would upgrade our insurance policy limits later. The Clerk reminded Mrs. Ahlman that the procedure would take about two months. Mr. L'Allier stated that a group to be known as the building advisory committee would be appointed by the Council; Mr. Rosengren would be liason and coordinator. He asked the Clerk to call the roll for each member to appoint someone. Mr. Jaworski appointed Mr. Glenn Rehbein; Mr. Cardinal appointed Mr. John McLean; Mr. Rosengren appointed Mr. Roy Backlin; Mr. Bohjanen appointed Robert Raymond; Mr, L'Allier appointed Mr. Ken Miller of Miller Bros. Construction. Mr. Cardinal moved to accept this group as advisers to the Council. The objectives of this committee would be to review the rough ideas of size and construction of the building plans and to recommend as to changes in some; also they would interview contractors to get competitive bids as well as expand on landscaping and other problems. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen felt it would be better to notify these people before a tentative date for a meeting is set. Mr. Rosengren will advise the Clerk of the first meetinna. Mr. John Bouthilet, President of the Northwest Saddle Club, rose from the audience to say that he was late and to hear the Council's decision. He was advised that the Council had denied the permit on the P&Z's recommendation. Others of the Club asked if the hearing could be reopened as they have a considerable investment to protect. Mr. Myhre mentioned that the police stop there regularly and if they had been advised of the original thefts they would have started policing the area sooner. There was considerable discussion on the need for a caretaker, not wishing to spend any money on building a house for same, as the trailer would belong to the caretaker, etc. The members had felt that the club would have been opened considerable to the public if the caretaker would have been allowed; this way it will have to be com- pletely private. They don't wish to go into renting problems either. Mrs. Judy Hughes reported that since the club had been put in they had had problems with vandals cutting their fence to get into club property. They had had no such problems before that. Officer Myhre mentioned that such areas were hard to police. Mr. L'Allier read a letter from Acton Construction commending the Lino Lakes police for policing their area regularly- -they had had no trouble with vandalism. The Council felt no 36 desire to change their decision on the Saddle Club trailer, since Mr. Schwankl had had to move his caretaker's trailer. Mrs. Linderman asked about Schmits' trailer and was told that this hearing was next month. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that he had received a complaint about deer hunting in the County Road J area. The police will take care of this. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that Centerville had asked that someone from Lino go over to negotiate on the fire contract. Mr. L'Allier was willing to attend; Mr. Bohjanen stated he would also. Mr. L'Allier suggested that a time limit be set on any one issue at a meeting; herhaps 15 minutes. That persons coming before them should not expect immediate action, but that these matters be placed on the agenda of a future meeting. Mr. Bohjanen stated that persons calling the Clerk to be on the agenda should pro- vide a written statement of their general topic. The decision on this will be made next time, as well as considering limiting reports too. Mr. L'Allier suggested that the Council set forth priorities and recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a guide to follow; that thsCouncil review and recommend changing of the Planning and Zoning ordinance; perhaps set forth projects for the commission to work on in their slack time. The police report was read as follows: 2216 miles traveled, 6 assists, 2 stolen snowmobiles, 1 forceable entry, 11 complaints, 8 accidents, 12 escapees from the Youth Center requiring 5 hours time, 1 recovered property, 1 domestic, 5 recovered automobiles and 1 medical assist. Mr. L'Allier also reported that as he was coming home he had seen an accident on Highway 14: the car had rolled over with one man pinned under it. The Lino Lakes police responded within two minutes. Mr. L'Allier especially commended Officer Myhre for the fine job he did in jacking up the car to help the man, and generally for the way in which they handled the whole matter. Mr. Al Ross had also commended the police for the fine way in which they handled an emergency across the road from him. Mr. Myhre reported that they had no respirator, only an oxygen tank. They needed several items, he will bring a list to the next police meeting. Mr. Myhre mentioned that State law does not require that the policemen carry First Aid cards; however, every man on our force has one, and they are all working toward their advanced First Aid cards on their own. He asked if we were receiving monthly reports from Municipal Court- -the Clerk told him that the two just reported were the first she had received since the July report. Mr. Myhre reported that there were no speed signs on Highway 326 or any on Lilac, and none between Hwy. 8 and Fourth on Main Street. It was mentioned that when Centerville was having problems getting signs put up they contacted Sen. Greig and signs had been put up three days later. The Clerk mentioned that she had been contacted by the County sign man and promised that 35 mph signs would be put up by Lino School in December; the signing there would be similar to all other school zones in the County. Mr. Myhre discussed prices he had gotten on sirens; he will submit written estimates later. 1 1 1 Mr. Locher asked whether we had required applicants for special use permits to make a deposit before the hearing, and was told no. Mr. Locher felt that applicants should be written on this and suggested that a minimum of $100 1:)e deposited on any application before hearings are set up; this would usually cover at least the Attorney's fees. Mr. Bohjanen moved that any future special use permit applications be accompanied by a $100 good -faith deposit; that any such hearing would not open unless the deposit were in; that we stress that this in no way assures that the permit will be granted. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher stated that he had been asked about the Clerk's refusal to accept the petition on Sunday; he stated that the petition should have been turned in during regular office hours or at the meeting, as it was; also, that if the Clerk had accepted the petition on Sunday, it would have made it null and void. Mr. Locher also mentioned that his law firm gets a commercial 2; discount from Superamerica and also an additional rebate at the end of the year. Mr. Rosengren stated that he would like to see gas pumps installed at the new building to elimi- nate carrying credit cards, etc. The Clerk asked the Council about the trailer in the Lakeview area; Mr. Myhre informed that the trailer had been moved as soon as the letter was received. Mr. Cardinal mentioned that the P&Z had talked about fines for people who move in trailers without a permit. Mr. Jaworski stated that as a misdemeanor they could be fined up to $300.00.
