Also present were Mr. Ernie Kiss, county appraiser, and Mr. Gayle Leone, deputy county assessor, and Mrs. Sarner, Lino Lakes assessor. The Clerk showed that the meeting had been published and posted as required by law. No persons showed up to complain about taxes. There was some discussion of taxes from and evaluation of trailer courts with Mr. Leone stating, in his personal opinion, that trailer courts more than pay their way. There was discussion of normal appreciation of property due to increases in construction costs. The value of houses surrounding an airport usually goes up. Mr. Leone was in favor of the new airport because of the increase in rev- enue it would bring to Anoka County. Mr. Leone stated that in other cities carbon copies of building permits go directly to the assessor. The tax - review certification was signed by the Councilmen and the Clerk. Mr. L'Allier thanked the gentlemen for coming to the meeting. Mr.'Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 8:32. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried.

Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the minutes of the June 24 meeting as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The motion to accept the minutes of the Board of Review meeting of June 25 was made by Mr. Bohjanent.with second by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. L'Aliier mentioned that the State had painted double yellow lines on Highway8 near Highway 326 and that "no passing" signs had been put up. Mr. Rosengren noted that a street light might not be,installed until Highway 8 is resurfaced before being turned over to the County. The Clerk stated that the tax levy funds had been received from the County in the amount of $20,273.61., 5 2 Mr. L'Allier announced that Mr. Eidem, who was to have spoken that evening, had injured his back and would attend the July 22 meeting. The text of proposed Ordinance 21B doncerning donations of lands by developers was read. After clarification of several points included, Mr. Jaworski moved that Lino yokes adopt Ordinance Number 21B, amending Ordinance Number 21. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Locher will take care of the publishment. Mr. John McLean, member of the Personnel Commission, explained the facts and figures, in the report showing cost of full- -time man, which had been presented to the Council previously. He stated that the estimates had been set high in case more funds might be required in a bad year for overtime, part -time help, etc. In his opinion, a man hired as full -time maintenance man would become knowledgeable enough in a few years to become foreman of the Village work force. Wages had been figured on the basis of a man and one -half. After much discussion on pros and cons of hiring a full -time man, purchase of a grader versus rental of same, which should be done first and how to stretch the budget, Mr. Jaworski moved that the matter be tabled with discussion to be resumed at a special meeting on September 10 at 8 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Andrew Dabasi, owner of Forest Lake Taxi, was present to request a permit to operate an extra cab as a cruiser on Highway 8 in Lino Lakes to also serve Centerville and Hugo and which would be dispatched by radio from Forest Lake. Mr. Dabasi presented his permit issued by Forest Lake and stated that his rates were those approved by the State. Since Lino Lakes has no ordinance covering taxi service and requirements for same, samples had been requested from the League. Mr. L'Allier stated the Council's appreciation for Mr. Dabasi's offer and asked him to return on August 12 to work out an arrangement after Lino has a chance to work up an ordinance. Mr. Bohjanen reported that the C&BDC had not yet completed the survey of what the local businessmen feel the Village should have, but they will present a written report of this to the Council when finished. Brochure work is still pending on recieving information from the Metropolitan Airport Commission. . Robert A. Claggett, part -owner of Aqua Float Corporation, was present, stating that they manufacture aircraft pontoons under a special use permit and had plans for constructing a 40 x 50' building and a portable spray booth on skids to be moved where needed, but had suspended alloperations until this rezoning matter is cleared up. They had already used 25 loads of fill but there still was too much water to allow the workers to park cars on the grass or to haul out the old red truck which someone had complained about. Mr. Locher will talk with Mr. Claggett's attorney to get the legal description in order to get the rezoning underway immediately. Mr. Rosengren inquired whether Lino Lakes was going to have the grass along the roads cut. It was decided that Mr. Rosengren should check on wages versus cost by job and that he should contact the County Highway Department to see if they would cut the grass. . Rosengren stated that the tractor and packer had been delivered for trial and that the tractor was not worth purchasing but that the packer seemed okay except for needing one tire and new wheel bearings. Also, Columbus had indicated an interest in sharing the cost and use of the packer. Thereupon, Mr. Cardinal moved that Mr. Rosengren be authorized to negotiate the purchase of the , eoad packer and the necessary parts needed at a maximum amount of $350.00 and that the cost be split evenly with Columbus Township. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. 1 53 Mr. Rosengren also stated that he had received a call from Northwestern Bell Telephone Company requesting permission to run a cable in West Rondeau Lake Road. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that Coon Rapids had adopted an ordinance for underground power lines, etc, and that we should get copies from the League. Mr. Rosengren thought that we should keep our own map of all buried lines in the Village. Gravel has been put on the County Line road and some fill on 80th which won't be completed until in August. Eleven loads of gravel had been put in Lakeview in driveways. At. Mr. Gotwald's suggestion a rock basin would be installed below the culvert by MOrris Carlson's place. There was mention of five bales of hay scattered along 24th Avenue. Mr. Rosengren and the clerk stated that they had had no luck in collecting the money for the culverts installed for Mr. Tom Anderson last summer. Therefore Mr. Cardinal moved that we turn over to Mr. Locher the collection of the fees for the culverts and bands from Mr. Tom Anderson. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Gotwald gave his ideas on fixing up Bald Eagle Boulevard, Rolling Hilis Drive and 64th; stating that seal - coating is considered routine maintenance. He thought that if we would put road mix on Bald Eagle Boulevard, fixing it up well, then the County might take over its maintenance. One coat of prime on Rolling Hilis Drive and 64th should be sufficient with sand and oil added in one year along with any necessary patching. After discussion, during which Mr. Locher was asked to check on the past assessments for road work on Sunset and to see if Lindberg Construction had a bond with the State while using 64th, Mr. Cardinal moved that Bald Eagle Boulevard be primed and sealed, that Rolling Hills Drive be primed and that 64th be primed after the Lindberg matter is settled; that we obtain three separate informal bids from road construction outfits rather than advertise for bids; that the Council have the option to reject said bids, Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. L'Allier had a question on the wording of the Centerville fire contract and instructed the Clerk to send a copy of same to Mr. Ray for interpretation of in- surance coverage under the contract. Mr. Locher stated that he bad received the endorsement on the liquor liability policy for the Apple Inn stating that the 10-day notification clause was included. He also presented the proposed ordinance regarding road load limits and suggested that it be studied further by the Road Study Board and the Council. He stated that the Council has the discretion on who pays for special assessments in roads within the Village. Mr. Locher mentioned the action being taken by the State and St. Paul on structural steel companies and stated that it was not worth while for the Village to enter into. The Clerk was asked to send a copy of the notice of the action to Mr, Lechner Supterintendent of Forest Lake Schools for their information. The Council will consider the load limit proposal at the next meeting. Mr. Paul Videen did not appear before the Council as requested. Therefore, W. Jaworski moved that the Clerk write Mr. Videen again giving him a deadline of July 22 to appear before the Council, or the Council will consider issuing a citation for violation of Ordinance Number 21A; the Building Inspector should check to see if the ordinance has been violated. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. 5 4_ Mr. L'Allier announced that the airport meeting of MAC was the next day and that the special hearing for Blomquist Addition was set for July 17th. Also, Mr. West was coming along fine and could be expected home the end of the week. The police report for June was as follows: travel 904 miles, 1 accident, 2 medicalassists, 2 dog bites attended, 3 tickets issued and 101 hours put on the car. W. L'Allier announced that the Civil Defense float had been in the Forest Lake Fourth of July Parade and also in the North Suburban Celebration parade in which it had again won a trophy for best float. The Civil Defense has also been asked to enter their float in the Forest Lake Diamond Jubilee Celebration and the Aquatennial parades. He thanked the Civil Defense for the good work. L'Allier read some excerpts from the latest Metropolitan Planning Commission Report giving figures on expected population increases, etc. Mr. Bohjanen wondered why there was no mention of the MAC airport expansion in the report since this has been in the planning since 1955. W. Dennis Houle stated that he felt the Council should reconsider the joint purchase of the packer with Columbus, that there are several advantages to sole ownership. W. Pete Scherer felt that the Assistant County Assessor had given the wrong information at the Board of Review meeting as far as revenue from trailer courts goes. He gave figures indicating that the Village had received very little in revenue so far from the court. W. Gotwald said that the present trend is to locate trailer courts in the fringe areas. W. Cardinal moved to accept the Road Study Board minutes as :read. Seconded by W. Jaworski. Carried. W. Jaworski moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by W. Bohjanen. Carried. W. Jaworski moved, with second by Mr. Rosengren to adjourn at 10:28 P.M. Carried.

Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher to state the technicalities concerning the request of Mr. Eugene Blomquist to have some of his land platted. W. Locher stated that the Council had been present at the Public Hearing and the P&Z meeting and knew most of the details. He indicated that the plat bad been approved by W.

This would be a permanent plat with six foot utility easements at the back of each lot and the west side of Lot 6, The Attorney mentioned that the ordinance on Park Dedication had been passed before the platting had been approved by the Council.
