Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk reported that title transfer had never been completed on the 1962 Ford dump truck purchased in 1966 and that the matter had been turned over to the At- torney for clarification. Mr. Locher statedthat Anoka County Attorney Bob Johnson was now working on it. Also, the plate transfer from the 1949 Ford truck to the 1962 Ford had not been made through the State Highway Department. The Clerk will check to see whether the 1949 Ford was junked, etc. County Auditor Ken Campbell had given the figure of $16,476.93 as the amount of revenue from the Sales tax refund for Lino Lakes in 1969. Also, the notice of gopher bounties paid in 1968 must be in the Auditor's office prior to the end of the year so that payment could be made to us before that time. A letter from Milner W. Carley and Associates giving their approval of release of the bond on the Ralph L'Allier property borrow pit was passed around. Mr. Cardinal stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had not met since the last Council meeting and had no report. Mr. J. R. Stockstead, representing MDF Development Company on Rice Street, came be- fore the Council to present layout and plans for DX Sunray to put up a Big T travel mart and service station at the SE corner of 35E and Main Street and thence to ask for rezoning of that property- -about 2 1/2 acres. This is a portion of a parcel owned by Marlin Rygg who had indicated that he might be interested in rezoning the whole piece. Mr. Stockstead said that he couldn't be sure when the work would be started on the project, that it would be planned to coincide with the opening of the freeway. He also said that he was aware that filling stations as such were under somewhat of a stigma but that the Council might consider that often such businesss have pioneered many later - developed locations to the benefit of a Village, and that nicely -done, neat stations are an asset to the municipality. Mr. Stock - stead was asked to bring Mr. Rygg to the next P&Z meeting on December 18, and if they approved then hearings would be set. Mr. Andrew Dabasi of Forest Lake Taxi came forward to discuss the new taxi ordinance, specifically Section 16 pertaining to a permanent call station for the cabs. He was informed that hisbase of operations in Forest Lake would satisfy the requirement and he wouldn't need an office in Lino Lakes. The Council objected to the limits of his insurance policy on the cab, stating that he must increase his limits to $100 -300 thousand. Mr. Dabasi will see his agent and get in touch. Mr. L'Allier told him that we would like to have his business and that we will be glad to help him. Mr. Jaworski reported that the next Park Board meeting would be December 16th. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the final brochure meeting of the C&BDC would be held this week; also they expected printing costs for the brochure to run about $300. The C&BDC was presently studying the Minnesota Plumbing Code - -Mr. Bohjanen will bring a recommendation to the next meeting. Mr. Rosengren reported that the snowfence was up; Mr. Baeklin had done as much as possible on the Lakeview drainage problem for the present. Mr. Rosengren stated that he had talked to the County Highway Department on the bill we had received and understood that it was for salt and some 45 yards of sand purchased from the County as well as a 14' piece of 24" culvert, also some grading and plowying (15Hours) on 64th. He hadn't received the final figures on this but expected to have them by the next meeting. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that we should be sure that the County plows Harold Hansen's road. Mr. Rosengren then stated that Roads and Bridges needed the following items: a large floor jack, an air compresser and a new pickup truck. He also requested that the road crew be paid before Christmas- -the Clerk stated that the checks would be ready on December 23rd. Mr. Gotwald stated that the thorourghfare map would be finished this month and that the proposed zoning maps should be ready by the second meeting in January. He had given our sewer reports before the Metro Council who will have their preliminary report ready by the first of the year. The Forest Lake line will either be hooked up thru NSSSD or White Bear Lake. The letting of bids on 35W have been set back until after July, 1969, so it is unlikely that any paying will be done before 1970. Mr. Gotwald will have copies made of the existing zoning map, a reduction of which will grace the cover of the C&BDC brochure. Crystal Ahlman, representing North Northeast Realty (El Rehbein) came forward to ask why Lino Lakes doesn't advertise the Village more and to query the Council as to the availability of industrial zoning, municipal swer and water for same and the possible date for same. She stated that they had many requests to buy industrially zoned property in Lino Lakes and that the need for water was the greatest. She was informed of the plans of the CO DC and the sewer and water studies which have been made in Lino and also of the areas which are presently being considered as to be rezoned to industrial. An industrial park might have its own water system. The Council looked over the existing zoning map and approved. Copies will be made for the Planning Commission, etc. Dennis Houle asked whether the cutback on 35E work was entirely due to lack of funds or whether the grade actually was ready for paving. Mr. Gotwald assured him that it was a lack of funds. Mr. Locher read the concluding statements from the decision in the Rolland Johnson case which had been dismissed, thus favoring the Village. A copy will be placed in the file as well as given to the Planning and Zoning Board for their use. Mr. Locher also stated that he was having County Attorney Bob Johnson check the status of the roadways known as Baldwin Lake Road running along Baldwin Lake and deeded to the County. 1 1 1 105 Mr. Rosengren questioned whether the road to the County park at Centerville Lake shouldn't be the County's responsibility to maintain. Mr. Locher mentioned that it was a precedent when the park had been built on a Village Road, he will check. Completing the roadway out to Centerville Road it a part of the up- coming County survey plan. Mr. Dupre reported that Schwenkl's trailer permit for 90 days had expired. After discussion Mr. Jaworski moved that the Clerk send a letter to Mr. Schwankl telling him that the trailer must be moved out within 30 days. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier asked that a resuolution be drawn up asking the County to consider locating a major maintenance facility in Lino Lakes. However, Mr. Bohjanen re- minded him that the County had already been written to concerning this. Mr. Bohjanen then moved that the Village carry on with the previous recommendation and send a follow -up letter asking the County to once again consider study on building a maintenance facility in Lino Lakes. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cardinal moved that the Attorney send a letter to the Flannagan's stating that the requested letter of survey be in within 30 days or the garage be removed.

Mr. L'Allier passed around literature on the Facit typewriter along with a quo ted price and stating a guarantee of one year; also that a wooden desk was available for $95. Mr. Jaworski will check on the equipment. The matter will be decided at the next meeting. The Civil Defense Director, Charles Cape, will be conducting a medical self -help course at the Lino School starting December 17 at 8 p.m. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the purchase of outside telephone with a cut -off switch to be used at the Constable's homes. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. After discussion it was decided to price the different CB and walkie - talkie units available which might be used by the police force and the Civil Defense in order to communicate with the Youth Center directly. The police report for November: 1 accident, 1 breakin, 2 domestics, 1 car stolen, 6 calls and five hours at the Youth Center for a total of 67 hours and 886 miles. Mr. Myhre noted that there had been no traffic deaths in the Village this year and that accidents were down 40 per cent.

Discussion of a possible ordinance regulating the above- ground storage of gasoline ensued and will be brought up at the next meeting. The decision has been made to burn the house at Elm and Highway 8 on December 22nd. Tilsen barn will be taken care of later- -the owners are out of state. Mr. Rosengren will contact the State about a house at 35W and Sunset. Mr. Myhre reported that the person living at County Road J and Ware Road was hauling in bits of shingles for a nursery and was making a road through the swamp.with them. The owner of the junk on Baldwin Lake Road was cleaning up. The cars reported to be on Mrs. Rose LeTourneau's property turned out bo be two cars belonging to her sons and which had been in an accident, consequently being held for insurance settlement.

Mr. L'Allier stated that he would not object to the release of the bond but that there were some corrections which he hoped to work out with the company- -there are two low areas. Mr. Cardinal then moved that we hold off releasing the Lindberg bond until the low spots are filled in. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried with Mr. L'Allier abstaining.
