Hagen 16.45 Minutes approved at the meeting of January 12, 1970 L v at• Clerk- Treasurer The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on January 3% 1970 was called to order at 8:05 p.m. by Mayor Ralph L'Allier with all members present: Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Cardinal, Mr. Rosengren and Mr. Bohjanen. Mr. Locher, Attorney, administered the oath of office to Mr. Ralph L'Allier, Mayor, Mr. William Bohjanen, Trustee, Mr. Ronald Jaworski, Trustee, and Mr. Virgil Lundberg, Constable, all of whom were elected last November. There were congratulations and a round of applause for those sworn in. The minutes of the special meeting held on December 15, 1969 and the minutes of the regular December 22nd meeting were corrected and the motions seconded. Mr. Al Ross was asked to give a rundown on the mass transit situation as it might affect the union. Mr. Ross mentioned that it appeared that condemnation procedures were to be undertaken by the Metropolitan Transit Commission against the Twin City Bus Lines. Mr. Ross felt that the mass transit system was a major step and that since we are involved, whether we like it or not, we have to live with it should try to derive some befief its from it. We should be active and aggressive since we too should have transportation like the urban area. We should try to sell to the public the idea of regularly scheduled service to the downtown areas. Mr. Ross stated that the ultimate in freeway construction can't keep up with progress; that mass transit would lessen the costs of freeway construction and reduce air pollution. A 1 1 rail system is planned for Minneapolis by 1975; the suburbs should show the authorities that we want the same type of service into the cities. Public ownership of the transit system seems to be in the books. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Ross if this would take away any private bus companies; Mr. Ross believed so. However, this does not necessarily mean condemnation if the companies sell. Mr. Jaworski discussed the selling price of the Twin City Lines with Mr. Ross. Mr. L'Allier asked how long the proposed rail system was to be and where the lines would run. Mr. Ross stated that St.,Paul was already complaining about the system since it would only be in Minneapolis. A line is scheduled for St. Paul in 1990 during the third phase of operation. Mr. Dennis Houle asked if the union was going to have a representative on the panel to give the union's estimate of the worth of the lines for cost analysis. Mr. Ross replied that there had been no consultation in his ranks on this yet. Mr. Houle pointed out that only the drivers know the condition and age of the vehicles and could give a better estimate than some other appraiser. Mr. Ross was thanked for his talk. Mr. L'Allier then stated that 2 years ago the Council started selecting a person who had contributed outstanding service to the community. The person selected this year has been a resident of Lino Lakes for 19 years; in 1953 he was involved in school affairs; in 1955 he was appointed to the Road Study Board; he has been on the Council and served as acting Mayor and finally as Mayor. He has been active in church affairs at St. Joseph's Church as well as the VFW; he has been extremely active in his union, serving as the vice president of that union; he is still serving on the Road Study Board. Mr. L'Allier proclaimed Mr. Al Ross as Man of the Year and presented a plaque to Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross was speechless for a moment, finally saying that he was very honored, but felt there were many others who deserved the honor more than he. Mr. L'Allier then proceeded with the appointments, making a perpetual motion and stating that anyone could call for a vote when he wished. The appointments were as follows: Acting Mayor—Mr. Jaworski Clerk-treasurer--Mrs. June L. Emerton Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the Deputy Clerk had resigned; Mr. Jaworski stated that one application for the position had been received by the Personnel Commission and that they recommended this applicant.

Planning & Zoning Commission: Messrs: John McLean (1 yr.), Glenn Rehbein (2 yrs.), E. P. Jester (2 yrs.), James Husnik (2 yrs.), Arnold Kelling (1 yr.), and Ed Karth (3 yrs.) Mr. L'Allier asked about Mr. Stanley. Mr. Cardinal stated that Mr. Stanley hadn't been attending meetings; he had talked with Jim Hill who was willing to serve and who, he felt, could bring new information since he is a civil engineer and is presently taking a course on planning and related matters. Mr. L'Allier appointed'Mr. James Hill (3 yrs.) to the Commission. W. Bohjanen moved to confirm these appointments. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier stated that in the past year Mr. Jaworski had acted as liaison to the Road Study Board; he would recommend and appoint Mr. Rosengren to serve in this capacity in 1970. Also he wished the Village Engineer to serve as an unofficial member of the Board, who should be called if the Board deemed it necessary. He appointed the following as members of the Road Study Board: Mr. Al Ross, W. Lee Robinson, Mr. LeRoy Houle, Mr. Dennis Houle and Mr. Gerald Bolin. Mr. Cardinal moved to con- firm these appointments. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Before Mr. L'Allier could make any appointments to the Personnel Commission, Mr. Jaworski stated that the Personnel Commission members had recommended that the Commission be suspended until such a time as the Council feels a need for it. Mr. Jaworski stated that at present there was not much need for the Personnel Commission since they only review applications once or twice a year. W. Pete Scherer commented that it has been a waste of time. After discussion, Mr. Jaworski thus moved that the Personnel Commission be suspended until such time that the Council or interested parties suggest a need for an active Personnel Commission, such as if we go into full -time help, etc. Seconded by W. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen will have recommendations for the Community and Business Development Commission at the next meeting. Mr. L'Allier then set down the responsibilities for each of the Council members: Mayor -- Liaison to the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities as an officer of the board of directors, also as liaison to the legislative committee of the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities. In charge of the Civil Defense and the Police Department. Mr.,,Rosengren- -Head of the Road Department, liaison to the Road Study Board and liaison to the Municipal Building Committee. 1 Mr. Cardinal -- Liaison to the Planning & Zoning Commission and alternate liaison to the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities. Mr. Jaworski -- Liaison to the Park Board. Mr. Bohjanen -- Liaison to the Community and Business Development Commission; if necessary attending any meetings of the Rice and Coon Creek Water- sheds. Also, a yet to be named committee of the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities. Mr. Jaworski moved to confirm these responsibilities. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Clerk read the year - ending fund balances as follows: General Fund -- $2,025.45; Park Fund -- $2,794.94; Roads & Bridges Fund -- $6,758.24; Gopher Fund -- $784.65; Fire Protection Fund -- $3,703.40; Civil Defense Fund -- $690.38; Debt' Redemption Fund -- $6,917.13; Total funds -- $23,674.19. Mr. L'Allier thanked the Council members for keeping all the funds in the black last year, noting that no transfers had to be made; he expressed the wish that they do as well this year. 61 Mr. Rosengren proposed that the remaining $2,000 owing on Street Bond No. 2 be paid up and the remainder of the Debt Fund be placed in the General Fund. Mr. Locher stated that he could check the bond to see if it were callable and what the penalty might be. Mr. L'Allier noted that if interest rates were good the money could be invested or put in bonds. Mr.' Rosengren moved to authorize the pay off of the outstanding debt of $2,000 on Street Improvement Bond No. 2 and the withdrawal of the remaining funds from the Debt Redemption Fund. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The Clerk presented cigarette license applications from the following: Nathe Brothers, B.I.O., Inc., Aragon Ballroom, Lino Lakes Store, Ruth Cegla and Hank's Cafe. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve cigarette licenses for the above. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to grant a 1970 bingo permit for Circle -Lex VFW Post 6583, providing the permit indicates which days of the week bingo is to be played. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Affidavits of publication for Ordinance Amendment No. 6Q had been received. Mr. L'Allier noted this was the amendment concerning the allowance of four 90-day permits for trailers in conjunction with a building permit with a maximum of one year. Mr. Cardinal moved to adopt Ordinance No. 6Q as written. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. A letter from the State Hwy. Dept. was read stating that they agreed that additional speed limit signs were necessary on Hwy. 326 (Lilac St.) and these will be installed in the near future. Mir. L'Allier noted that this was one of the few times a positive answer had been received from them. The Clerk stated that she had contacted Mr. Schwankl concerning the fuel oil; Mr. Schwankl had indicated that the cost of pumping out the remaining fuel oil would probably be greater than the refund. He had suggested that a line with a clamp be hung from the tank for the shop men to clean parts, etc. with. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept this recommendation. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. IIIThe Clerk reported that Mr. Waldemar Hill had suggested that the Gopher Fund be included with the General Fund since it is so small in amount. Mr. Cardinal moved that this be done. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. 6 Mr. Cardinal had no report, but stated that he would like to see a letter written to Mr. Stanley for his work on the P&Z. Mr. L'Allier felt that letters should also be sent to the members of the Personnel Commission; that they have done a considerable amount of work such as on the grader. A letter should also be sent to Al Thiltgen who was on the Park Board. The next P&Z will be on January 21. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Ron Langness of Springsted, Inc. for his report on the pro- posed forthcoming bond sale. Mr. Langness stated that the market has been improving since the holidays, he thought we could sell the bonds now if we offered them in January. He discussed various aspects of the current trends and passed around copies of a letter and the schedule of bond payments. The issue has been shortened to 12 years with only the first two years calling $5,000 bonds and the rest $10,000. The issue would be paid up in 1982. There was considerable discussion, with W. Langness noting that no real improvement could be expected before 6 months, that the municipal bond market is the last to change. Mr. Langness stated that he had been presumptuous and had sent the copy to the publishers with the right to cancel. It would be pub- lished on the 17th and the sale could not be held for 10 days following that. There would be little difference in the interest bid, we would just be trying to get a bid. Mr. L'Allier stated that if we go ahead on this we should stipulate that we be authorized to negotiate a sale if no bids are received. This would have to be done within two weeks and no changes could be made in the terms as bid. Mr. Langness stated that it was too late to negotiate from the last sale. After further discussion, Mr. Rosengren moved to advertize for bids and authorize the sale of the bonds on the 29th of January at 7 p.m. with the stipulation that if the bonds are not sold that we pursue another avenue by trying to sell them within this area or negotiating a sale, and that we adopt the resolutions necessary for this sale. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Langness stated that they would get the necessary publications to the Forest Lake III Times the following afternoon. Mr. L'Allier asked for reports on the Jandric preliminary plat - -Lakes Addition No. 2. A letter from Mr. Gotwald was read. Mr. Gotwald felt that the plat was okay except for drainage in low spots. He stated that several lots were platted in the swamp area, He read the Ordinance section concerning this. He said that Jandric intends; to fill these low lots but that we should have something on record. Soil reports would be necessary. Mr. L'Allier stated that we could have the Clerk or other official ask them to make the changes.` Mr. Gotwald noted that 6' of fill would be necessary and that the lots would have to settle from 12 -18 months. If the peat were excavated and dirt compacted, then tests would be necessary before the plat is accepted. He had no comment on the proposed rezoning but had a copy of a letter written to the P&Z by Mr. Van Housen. Mr. GotwaId felt there were no advantage to excluding the outlots from the plat. Mr. Cardinal asked for copies of Mr. Gotwald's letter be sent to the P&Z. Mr. Gotwald will send copies to the P&Z and the Council. The Clerk was asked to make copies of the Van Housen letter for the Council. Mr. Langness stated that he had no other comments than the previously stated Springsted policy that they felt that the Village should not get into the financing of private developers. W. Jaworski noted-that-there had been some question about the park dedication on this plat. He asked if the 10% would be only of the platted lots and not the golf course. Mr. Locher felt that the golf course and outlots would be part of the plat and not excluded. Only the roads are excluded. Mr. Gotwald mentioned a recent 1 1 63. action on a golf course in Qneka where it was felt that since the golf course was a public playground that some consideration should be given to this land. There was some discussion on this. A Park Board representative will be at the P&Z hearing. Mr. Locher stated that he had prepared the publications for the rezoning and the hearings on the plat and that notices had been mailed. He mentioned that one parcel had been listed to another owner but they had a contract for deed with U.S. Lakes Development. The Clerk was instructed to see that these recommendations and observations be set out and transmitted to the P&Z with copies to the Council. Mr. Langness stated that if no bids were received on the bonds, he would let us know in advance. Mr. Jaworski reported that they had no ice at Lino Park due to the pump burning out. Mr. Backlin stated that Mr. Ludwig had pulled the pump and estimated that it would cost $230 —$240 to fix it. This would include a new meter, box, etc. Mr. Jaworski moved that the pump be fixed. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski stated that there is ice on both rinks at Sunrise Park, that the lights are up and working. A pee wee hockey league for 4th, 5th and 6th graders has been formed and he asked the papers to solicit help with the league. Practice is scheduled after each game; interested persons can call Mr. Jaworski for information. Mr. L'Allier noted that Mr. Jaworski has been working with the kids and that we owe him our thanks. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Rosengren if he had checked the street light to go in on Sunset and 135W. Mr. Rosengren will call NSP and locate the site for the best light advantage. Mr. Rosengren reported that the roads were okay. The Building Committee had met the previous Thursday and will contact builders on Saturdays and set another meeting after that. He asked that the papers mention that interested persons can call members of the Committee. The Clerk was also asked to send a letter to Elwood West for his service as Constable. Mr. Rosengren stated that he hoped to have the information on the tandem truck by next time Mr. L'Allier stated that he and Mr. Gotwald had attended the Metro Sewer Board hearing and asked Mr. Gotwald to comment on the hearing. Mr. Gotwald stated that most of the communities had been represented, that most were interested in the financing but there was nothing on that. They had discussed water and river standards, the effects of zoning, treatment plants, etc. He felt that most of the people seemed to agree with the policies. The north Anoka communities disagreed with the boundary lines as being too close to Anoka and felt that the lines should be redrawn further out from Anoka. Representatives of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Brooklyn Park liked all except the proposed plant above the cities. The Board intends to take over the inter- ceptor system and will take over some of the bigger lines by next January 1, earlier than required. Mr. Gotwald noted that the letter from the Sewer Board requesting meter information could be disregarded since we have no meters. There was some discussion. Mr. L'Allier asked that a letter from Mr. Steffen be read. This gave tentative estimated costs for policing the 3-Village area at $124,231.00 which comes to $40,000 for each Village. Mr. L'Allier noted that we had budgeted $16,000 for policing this year based on the old county estimate in case we should decide to accept it. He has talked with the Mayor of Circle Pines and the new Mayor of Lexington; they will meet the following evening at 9:30 in Circle Pines. Copies of the letter will be made for the Council. 64 Mr. L'Allier read the letter from the Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities regarding their budget and the dues for 1970. Lino Lakes' share comes to $145.90. Mr. L'Allier moved to pay the 1970 dues to the Association. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier then gave his thoughts on matters he hopes the Council will accomplish, in 1970; 1) Like to see the Council adopt the street improvement program as previously set forth by the Engineer- -the elimination of gravel roads. 2) Review with the Planner particularly any major development and /or rezoning. 3) Work for the installation of County and local communications with the Youth Center to help in the capture of escapees. 4) Within the next few weeks reappoint the Mayor's Committee for the Youth.. Center like the one which worked during the 1969 legislative session. 5) Institute an initial summer teen job program where persons could call into the Clerk or some other person to register a need for help or willingness to help on a schedule. 6) Recommend strongly that the Council suspend all mobile home park hearings this year and use the time to work with the Planner, and Engineer to decide if we want the same and where we would allow the same to develop to make this fair to all. Also, that we allow only expansion of the present mobile home park. 7) He agrees in part with Al Ross that we should derive some benefit from mass transit since we have no control over it, but the benefits should be suburban, not just urban. 8) Hope the Council will withhold any approval of Open Space programs until the fiscal disparities are resolved. Lino Lakes is intended to be a large part of the Metro Park System, but they wish to pay our tax loss for only 2 years. 9) Like to see the postal department establish a sub - postal system in Lino Lakes to serve the present population and the developments coming in. 10) Request the Metro Transit Commission to do what is necessary to subsidize the small lines or set up specific plans for a system here soon. 11) Mr. L'Allier also hoped that after the Park Board has defined their long and short range park plan that the Council will adopt the same and pursue their development. Mr. L'Allier stated that he wished to thank the Drifters Snowmobile Club for the work they have done with the youngsters in their training course and testing. Mr. Gotwald presented an application by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. to install 6 -duct line (about 33' from center) along the West side of Hodgson Road to Birch Street. He recommended approval on this. Mr. Rosengren moved to grant approval of this request. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Gotwald mentioned that a request to put in line along Birch Street had been received but that he had not had time to study it yet. Mr. Locher stated that a certificate of insurance had been received for Berghorst Plumbing & Heating; however, under Ord. No. 48, it will be necessary to raise the insurance limits on property damage from $1000 to $5000. The Clerk will write to them. Mr. Locher stated that the requested corrections on the Chomonix Country Club insurance had been made with the exception of the deletion of the assault exclusion. He had discussed this with the agent and felt that it was for the Council to decide. There was discussion on this. Both Mr. L'Allier and Mr. Bohjanen felt that they would like to see the assault exclusion clause removed from the policy. Mr. Bohjanen moved to table the matter until this is clarified. The Clerk will make copies of the attached note for the Council and put the matter on the next agenda. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept the entire wage scale, effective January 1, as set at the special December 15 meeting. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier recommended and moved that with regards to the police department, the following 1970 wages, effective Jan. 1, be adopted: Senior constable- -raise from $200 to $225 /month; Constable- -raise from $185 to $200 /month; Asst. Constable- -raise from $74 to $100 /month with the stipulation that when there is proof that he has completed his advanced Red Cross courses, he will receive $125 /month. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. The matter of raising the Council expenses per month was discussed. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had held back last time because he wanted to make the proposed increase public in the minutes and the papers. He was now satisfied on this point. Mr. Rosengren moved to increase the expenses for Council members from $5 /month to $15 /month, an increase of $10 /month. Seconded by Mr. Uaworski. Carried unanimously. The Clerk stated that she preferred to write separate wage and expense checks to clarify book- keeping. There were no objections. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that he had received phone calls concerning the burning ban that wa supposed to go into effect January 7. This was apparently changed, but ke doesn't understand the ruling entirely regarding having 3 years to provide total garbage pickup service. .Mr. Locher stated that the Metro Council is developing regu- lations on landfills, but they have not met their own deadline. He will get copies of ordinances regarding scavenger licenses and regulations. The State law will super - cede all local ordinances. A letter from Gethsemane United Methodist Church was read voicing their disapproval of the pending off -sale liquor store to be located across Hwy. 49 from them. The Clerk mentioned that she had received a call from Rev. Willard explaining that the church board had not yet decided on the exact location for the new church, but that it might be built between the present structure and the parsonage; therefore the board was afraid that there would not be the required distance of 1000' between the new structure and the off -sale store. Mr. Locher read from Ord. 34 on the 1000' requirement, stating that it stated "any existing structure." After discussion, Mr. Rosengren moved that a letter be sent to the church board asking them for a letter of intent on the date of construction for the structure or else copies of the building plans; stating that we have no choice but to grant the off -sale license under Ord. 34 unless such letter or plans are received by February 9, 1970. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. unanimously. Mrs. Bohjanen stated that she believed a newer State law allows the Council to vote themselves a raise providing that notice was published and no objections in the form of a 10% voter petition was received. Mr. Locher read the new law; however, this does not apply here as the Council is raising the amount of expenses, not salary. The Clerk stated that there was a problem with a person objecting to the fees charged him for his request for a mobile home park since the Ordinance states a fee of $75.00 for same. Mr. Locher felt that an ordinance, besides an earlier resolution, requiring the payment of all legal and other costs incurred for requests for rezoning and special use permits, etc. was legally enforceable. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Attorney draft an ordiname requiring the payment of all costs by petitioners for 66 variances, special use permits, rezonings and platting fees; also to include that a deposit of $100 accompany all applications for same. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved that a final notice be sent to Mr. Stein stating that the fees must be paid within 30 days or the Attorney would pursue the matter further. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Scherer asked Mr. Bohjanen when the brochure would be completed; he felt that we had waited long enough - -it had been promised sooner. Mr. Bohjanen stated they were working on it. Mr. Myhre requested that a letter be sent to the State Hwy. Dept. regarding the intersection of 49 and 135W where two of the street lights are not working; he stated that he had made numerous requests via the Sheriff's office- -there had been serious accidents there. After discussion, Mr. L'Allier moved that a letter be written to the State stipulating that due to the continuing hazardous conditions at that intersection which jeopardize the safety and welfare of people in the community, we request they take steps before additional injuries occur due to the inadequate safety of the lighting conditions. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Myhre also mentioned that the signs promised by the County for December had not been put up. Mr. L'Allier stated that the County Commissioner and County Engineer would be at the next meeting and we could mention it then. ,Mr. Scherer stated that he had talked with Mr. Burman that day and had been promised that the signs will be installed,by the next meeting. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 10:38 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Aye JANUARY 12, 1970 BILLS: 2794 Fridley Office Supply Co. 2795 Miller Davis Co. 2796 Bruce'Fleming 2797 Anoka County.
