The special meeting of the Lino LakesVillage Council held on September 23, 1970
to determine a portion of the 1971 budget was called to order at 8:24 p.m. by
Mayor L'Allier with all members present as well as Mr. Waldemar Hill, Accountant.
Mr. Rosengren mentioned that he had received a phone call stating that the speed
limit on County Road J just west of, Hwy 49 had been raised from 50 mph to 60 mph
and that they would like to see it reduced. Mr. Rosengren suggested that a letter
be sent to Ramsey County requesting a review of the speed zoning in that area, with
carbon copies to be sent to Sheriff Talbot and Administrator Bernie Steffen., This
suggestion was favored by all present, with ratification of such action to ,occur
at the next regular meeting.
Mr. Jaworski suggested that an extra amount be budgeted to carry general fund for
approximately two months since money received in the levy does not come until the
middle of the year. This was discussed, with Mr. Hill noting that if we have no
cushion it might be necessary to issue warrants.
The matter of the Clerk's salary and the number of hours to hold the office open
was discussed. It was mentioned that more billing work will arise when the Jandric
project is going. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that the normal offered increase for
beginning bargaining negotiation purposes is 10 %. The decision was to keep the
office open 6 hours per day with the amount of $5500 budgeted to cover wages in
the event more hours are needed later in the year, thus needing fringe benefits.
The Clerk was asked to call Mr. Van Housen for an estimate on planning consultant
services for 1971.
The police budget was discussed, with mention made of the $133,000 County proposal
and the $113,000 4- Village proposal. It'was decided to budget the per capita rate
of $6.50 per person, from the County figures, and to decide the method of policing
later.
Garbage hauling was discussed at length. It was decided to let the matter ride
for the time being.
The matter of business licenses was also discussed. Mr. Rosengren estimated that
horses do $1,000 damage to roads each year. Arena and sod farms were discussed.
Mr. Bohjanen thought that all businesses should pay a fee, the amount to start
at $3.00 per year and up. The rates will be decided when the League brochure on
municipal fees is discussed.
The Clerk was asked to call the County Auditor for the amount of sales'tax to be
received as well as the assessed valuation.

Clerk - Treasurer
The second special budget meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council was held on
September 24, 1970. The meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier
with all members present as well as Mr. Waldemar Hill.
Prior to budget work, W. Rosengren inquired what price should be set on our old
truck with plow and wing. Circle Pines is in need of a truck immediately and we
would like to sell the truck outright rather than trade it in. After discussion,
in which the figures $1500 to $1700 predominated, Mr. Rosengren was told to get
estimates from several dealers first.
Mr. Hill stated that our total assessed valuation was now $1,691,000.00 accord-
ing to the County Assessor.
A revised first contract price from Lexington had just been received showing the
new total cost to be $4,036.00 for 1971. It was mentioned that Centerville would
like to raise their charges also. A total of $7,200 was alloted for 1971 fire con-
tracts.
Requested equipment such as radios, towers and a new truck for the Civil Defense
was discussed. It was Mr. Hill's opinion that radio based in the new building
should be paid out of General Fund since it would be used by all departments. The
total amount alloted to Civil Defense was $4,300.
Mr. Jaworski listed several items which the Park Board would like to purchase
including two benches; they would like to have a street light placed at Sunrise
Park. W. Jaworski's original requests were trimmed down for a total of $14,800
alloted for Parks and Playgrounds.
There was considerable discussion on the Roads and Bridges Fund. Mr. Rosengren
stated that they would have a surplus this year as the construction costs would
reach a maximum of $12,000 and the snow removal costs had been less than anticipated.
The subject of a full -time man was debated; Mr. Rosengren felt that 1.full -time
man and 1 part -time man at least would be needed. An amount of $16,500 for Roads
payroll was alloted; $68,400 for Roads altogether was decided upon. It was decided
to place $10,000 of the sales tax receipts in the Roads & Bridges Fund.
There was considerable discussion on the amount to levy for the payment of interest
on the municipal building bond for 1971. It was decided to transfer $5,000 from
the present Debt Fund into the Building Debt Fund. The Clerk was instructed to
check with the bank to see if the $2,000 owing on the present bond might be paid
off and what the penalty might be. Also, capitalized interest will produce
