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, Mr. 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. lr. 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
194
$6,720 which can be taken off the $19,400 assessment; these combined figures leave
an amount of $7,680 to be levied for the building bond.
The Metropolitan Sewer Assessment was discussed. Mr. Gotwald is at present trying
to meet with Metro representatives to determine if our assessment is fair. If
so, then the amount of $25,712.58 must be paid in 12 equal installments next
year. This amount was included in the levy; however, if a different amount should
result from Mr. Gotwald's discussions, a new budget meeting will be called to
finalize the levy and mill rate.
These are the tentative results on the levy, pending any change in the sewer levy;
a total amount of $143,148 to be levied at a mill rate of 83 mills on an assessed
valuation of some $1,720,000.
Mr. Jaworski moved to adjuurn the meeting at 9:57 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
Carried unanimously.

The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on September 14, 1970
was called to order at 9:43 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all members present.
Mr. Cardinal moved to accept the minutes of the August 24th meeting as written.
Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Motion carried with Mr. Bohjanen abstaining because of
his absence at that meeting.
The Clerk read a notice of designation of a haul road for County Road No. 84 from
Main Street to the South County Line. Copies of the proposed County park ordinance
and other letters from Mr. Burman had already been received by the Council. The
Clerk reported that $1,791 had been received in mobile home property taxes;
municipal court fines in the amount of $8.00 had also been received. Two separate
letters had been received from Burstein & Reidenberg who are handling the municipal
court property: the first had enclosed a check in the amount of $194.70 for such
sale, and the second stated that the books which were to have been sold for $5.00
could not be located and no disposition of them would be made.
The Clerk stated that the first third of the money invested in treasury bills had
matured on September 3; she had been advised to reinvest them since no bill had been
received from Mattson at that time. However, a subsequent billing from Mattson in
the amount of $11,602 had been received, and the Clerk inquired whether she should
hold the bill or cash in the treasury bills immediately. Mr. Bohjanen moved that
the check for Mattson be held until October 1st when the bills will mature.
Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.
A letter from the Metropolitan Sewer Board accompanying the bill for 1971 costs
to be paid was received. The billing was read, showing the amount of $25,712.58
to be paid in 12 equal monthly installments next year. Mr. Gotwald stated that
he had been unable to meet yet with the Sewer Board officials; however, he had
checked the report of Black & Veetch, Engineer and had been unable to find anything
on Lino Lakes in the book. Mr. Gotwald recommended that we table the matter until
he is able to contact the officials and then meet with W. Carley and himself.
Mr. L'Allier stated that we need an explanation where the cost comes from. Mr.
L'Allier wished to go on record recommending that the Council request postponement
of the $25,000 plus assessment for one year because there was not enough time to
study the matter and 15 mills is too much to add onto our budget for one year for
one assessment. W. L'Allier then moved to postpone the payment for one year
