Thus it would not be necessary to levy a tax if a bond would include enough to carry the interest. He thought it would be better to throw away a temp- orary smaller tank than install a big one since no one knows how the growth pattern will go. He thought it would be feasible on this basis since municipal ownership would better serve the interest of the people concerned. After considerable discussion on the size of the tank, etc., the talk turned to the low water level of the lakes, particularly Reshanau Lake. A letter from the Dept. of Waters, Soils and Minerals (directed to Mr. Bohjanen and turned over to the Council) denying U.S. Lakes Development the right to dredge was read. Several persons in the audience voiced their concern over the low water level. There was also discussion on the possibility of Centerville hooking up with the line going up Hwy. 61. It was decided that the Clerk would contact proper authorities about our concern ower the low water. The discussion returned to the water system. It was remarked that the $500 charge per home to put in the water system was actually cheaper for the developer than putting in wells. Mr. Bohjanen requested a copy of the dredging permit for U.S. Lakes. Mr. Cardinal moved that a letter be written to U.S. Lakes Development asking them if they wish to petition the Village for a hearing for assessments for municipal water. Seconded by W. Jaworski. Carried. There was a considerable amount of discussion on both sewer and water from both audience and Council. Residents fear fish dying. Mr. Bohjanen asked, "If the bottom punctured? can any assurance be given that the water will return?" W. L'Allier reiterated some previous statements and suggested that it might be possible to give the developer clear title to the system for, say, 5 years; if he charged each home $1000 for water, then he would have the system paid for and could return the system to the Village for $1.00. This will be discussed later. W. Bohjanen asked Bob Burman about straightening the curve on Birch Street, Mr. Burman stated that it was scheduled to be completed this year; the route is staked out. Some persons thought that the road should follow the lake for scenic purposes.

The Clerk reported that two applications for licenses to install individual sewage systems had been received. The insurance papers and bond were given to Mr. Locher to study. Mr. Bohjanen moved that the proposed maintenance agreement with IBM for the new typewriter be signed. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The cost of the agree- ment if $42.00 per year. Proposed dates for budget meetings on Sept. 4th and 25th were satisfactory to everyone. A letter will be sent to Mr. Wally Hill confirming these dates. Mr. Cardinal moved to cinfirm the setting by telephone of the hearings for a special use permit for Naegele Sign Co. before the P&Z on Aug. 20th and the Council on Aug. 25th. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski, Carried. Mr. Bohjanen was not contacted by the Clerk although the other members were. There was discussion on how to get the public registered to vote. Mr. Bohjanen stated that usually on the two Saturdays prior to the closing of registration, the registration office is kept open all day. Otherwise two full days prior to the close are used for that purpose. The Clerk was told- to line extra help for the close of registration. The Council set the date of Sept. 15th, 8 p.m., to hear the County's park plan which was done by Midwest Planning. The Clerk will check the date with the County. The Clerk stated that two long- outstanding bills for Tom Anderson (culverts) and Eugene Blomquist )platting) still hadn't been paid. Mr. Cardinal thought that a letter and bill should be sent to each. Mr. Jaworski moved that the bills be turned over to the Attorney for collection. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr, Bohjanen moved to grant a license to install individual sewage systems to El Rehbein & Son, Inc. upon the receipt of the $5000 bond. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr, Cardinal moved to grant a license to install individual sewage systems to U.S. Lakes Development Co. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant a permit to U.S. Lakes Development Co. to install one sewage system for use in one of the model homes as requested. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. This action was taken'since U.S. Lakes Development Co. had previously indicated that they would install no sewage systems in their models. Mr. Cardinal mentioned that there had been some comment on the time lapse in the contract for the property on option from the Waldoch's. Mr. Cardinal will meet with them next week and mentioned that in the interim we were saving some interest. Mr. Cardinal asked about the procedure on raising the misdemeanor fines for ordinance violations. After an explanation by Mr. Locher, Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize the Attorney to draw up an ordinance amending all previous ordinances containing a pentalty of $100.00 fine for violation by changing the amount of this fine to $300,00 as authorized by the 1969 Legislature. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Jaworski stated that he had gotten two more bids on an International Low-Boy Cub Tractor from the following: Peron Motors ' $1850 and Peterson International in Anoka @ $1800, Both prices were for a machine equipped with flotation tires on the rear and big tires on the front and including a 60@ mower. W. Jaworski then moved that Lino Lakes purchase, for Parks use, an International Low-Boy Cub Tractor from Peterson International at $1800.00. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Council send a resolution to the County Commissioners asking them to complete the road around Centerville Lake to the Park on out to Centerville Rd.; and also request what the status of the road work is for 1969. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved that a letter be sent to the Conservation Dept. (Divisions of Game & Fish and Waters, Soils & Minerals) telling them of our concern about the water level in Reshanau Lake, asking that something be done before winter so that there will be no winter-kill of the fish; for example, removing the fish and restocking later or pumping water in, asking them for some assurance that the water will come back. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen asked why Jandric is dredging at so many spots in the lake. Mr. L'Allier stated that he had talked with members of the Conservation Dept. and would meet with them this week; also Mr. Gotwald would be present. Mr, Rosengren arrived. Mr. Jaworski asked lt,„ Locher if he had heard any more on the Baldwin Lake property agreement. Mk.. Locher had talked to the attorney for the St. Paul Water Dept. and is trying to set a meeting. Mr. Jaworski gave Mr. Locher the proposed material for an underground utilities ordinance. Mr. Gotwald stated that a representative from NSP will be at the next meeting. Mr. Jaworski then moved that the adoption of an underground utilities ordinance be tabled until the next meeting. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. A copy of the proposed ordinance will be sent to NSP. Mr, Bohjanen reported that the C&BDC had been short due to the storm warnings that evening. He asked whether anything had been done yet about the dust problem on 4th Ave. Mr. Rosengren replied that he would take up the matter in his report. Crystal Ablman asked how she would go about getting a permit for the trailer park she is promoting. Mr. Locher explained that rezoning and a special use permit would be necessary. 296 Mr. Rosengren stated that the crew had worked on Ware Road for the last week; that the total cost might run a little less than expected. Some extra mix had been made for use on Bald Eagle Blvd. Mr. Rosengren said that Mr. Backlin had priced two pickup trucks at Iten Chevrolet as follows: a '66 Ford 3/4 ton, 3 speed, with the utility box for $1395; a '65 Chev. 3/4 ton, 4 speed, with no utility box at $1250. A discussion ensued on the state of condition of the Village pickup and what Mr. Rosengren thought was needed. He will rough out some specifications for equipment before the budget meetings. There were no objections to Mr. Rosen - gren's looking at the '66 Ford. Mr. Rosengren reported that he had gotten some material but no cost figures on a metal building. He had also roughed out a diagram for the building, using an overall size of 50' by 120' with about half the space to be used for meeting and office space and the rest for shop and garage. There were several suggestions on the roof levels, removable partitions, doors, etc. Mr. Rosengren asked how the Council felt about letting one contractor do all the work including the well and septic system, etc. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Clerk draw up rough specifications from Mr. Rosengren's information and get bids on the cost of the work. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The Council felt that the size (overall) should be 60 by 120 feet. Mr. Rosengren asked Mr. Locher whether there was any other allowable way for the Village to finance the building without going for a bond issue. Mr. Locher mentioned that Villagers are allowed to enter into conditional sales contracts. He will check on this as well as the length of time allowed for a contract. It was thought that the total cost of the building, including a parking lot, might run as high as $80,000. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that since receiving the letter from Mr. Braastad advising us that we would have to be out of the building by Sept. lst, he had talked to Mr. Braastad telling him that we would like to stay until the end of the year. Mr. Braastad consented providing that the rent be raised by $25.00 per month. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize 4the paying of $175 per month rent to Mr. Braastad from Sept. 1st until the the of the year. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren, Carried. Mr. Rosengren discussed dust coating on 4th Ave. and stated that before the crew could do any spraying it would be necessary to purchase a pump and spray bar -- he had no idea what this might cost. He will check on the cost of the outfit. Mr. Gotwald discussed the use of the liquor sulfite road binder for 4th Ave. as well as using regular road mix, etc. He estimated the cost of doing the two miles from the Youth Center to Pine Street at $3600.00 for the sulfite if the contractor did the work. The use of our truck and crew for the same work would out the cost to $1800.00. This would last longer than chloride, and will stabilize even clay. He stated that the crew could blade, roll and shoot some bituminous and oil for a cost of $2000, but after 2 or 3 days of trucks hauling on the road, it would be back in the same condition within one month. Mr. Gotwald recommended the use of 4" stabilization, either bituminous or sulfite. If Lino put on the same coating as done on Ware Road, it would cost about $8000 for two miles. He stated that if they use the sulfite binder and roll this, it would take care of the dust problem for the remainder of the year; this would leak out eventually and would be no problem for future oil work. This will be mentioned in next month's cost estimates for road work. Mr. Rosengren stated that they will put 1 1 /2" road mix on Bald Eagle Blvd. next month and perhaps then the County would buy the road and take it over. They plan on using a dozer to broaden the shoulders. He will bring the cost for the next Meeting. There was further discussion on 4th Avenue. Mr. Cardinal moved that Mr. Gotwald should meet with Mr. Rosengren and the Road Study Board on plans for 1970 road work prior to the Sept. 4th budget meeting. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Clerk will send letters to set up a convenient meeting date. Copies of the Uniform Building Code will be given to the Planning & Zoning members to study; they should have a recommendation by the Sept. 22nd meeting. Mr. L'Allier announced that the next meeting of the Anoka County Assn. of Munici- palities would be on August 20th at Coon Rapids. They will review committees to study the possibilities of combining or expanding them. Mr. Locher had no report. Mr, Leo Bruder was in the audience as requested. A report written by Police Officers West and Myhre was read, stating that everything seemed to be cleaned up and in order, that all cars were currently licensed, etc. Mr. L'Allier asked whether there was any scrap iron; Mr. Myhre stated that there was none to be seen. Mr. Bruder kept the things he needed in the shed. There was discussion on the stack of tires Mr. Bruder keeps. Mr. Bruder stated that some of the tires were new and all were in condition to be used on his trucks. Some weeks he has as many as 13-14 flats caused by driving in the dumps. Mr. Cardinal said that it had come to his attention that some of the merchandise was off of his property, to the West. Mr. Bruder stated that all of this material had been moved onto his property. Mr. Locher stated that he could find nothing in the ordinance to prohibit keeping stacks of tires. Mr, L'Allier asked Mr. Bruder whether the tires could be put inside,. Mr. Bruder replied that he could put them inside; he didn't object to this Mr. Bruder asked the Council for permission to make a comment. The papers had stated that he had sold 3 trucks as well as the 4 routes; he wished to deny this as it was not true. He felt that this statement was hurting his business as prospective customers felt he was moving out. Mr. L'Allier stated that this had been corrected in the minutes. The papers should mention the error and correct same. The discussion on the Jandric franchises was again taken up. Mr. L'Allier mentioned the Aug. 7th meeting with the fiscal agent, for which the minutes had not been transcribed. He felt that it was time for a decision to be made. The fiscal agent, Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Locher and Mr. L'Allier had met with Mr. Lamm and Mr. Hayes of the Metro Council on Friday. Mr. Locher described the meeting; they were definitely opposed to a temporary sewage plant and would consider it only as a last resort. They don't feel that our area is yet ready for development. It was possible that Centerville could be temporarily hooked up to the White Bear Line following Hwy. 61, but that this would require pumping. They felt that the whole Metro Council would like to study our proposal and give a recommendation but this would take quite a while. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Lamm what Lino Lakes was to do if the Metro Council opposed a sewage treatment plant, if they also opposed individual septic systems, and if they understood that we're in no fiscal condition to put in a municipal sewer system. Mr. Lamm suggested that Lino Lakes suspend all development for two years until the Metro Council was ready for us. Mr. L'Allier informed Mr. Lamm that we had no idea of waiting for the Metro Council to tell us when we could develop. Mr. Gotwald put it simply: "We didn't get any answers." There was considerable discussion on the futility of putting in any kind of central sewage system if the Metro Council had the power to condemn them, ete. 228 After further discussion, Ivkr. Jaworski moved to turn down the proposed sewer franchise for U.S. Lakes Development Co. and suggest that they go to individual sewer systems with the understanding that they install a central water system. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. After another long period of discussion in which Mr. Busch pleaded for a chance for U.S. Lakes to try to get Metro approval for a central sewer system, Mr. Cardinal withdrew his second to the motion in order to give U.S. Lakes a try at getting Metro Approval. After still more discussion, Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. The vote: Ayes--Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Bohjanen, Mr. L'Allier; No--Mr. Cardinal, Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Discussion on the costs of a central water system followed and then on the buy -back or give -back stipulation on the franchise or the choice of petitioning for munic- ipal water. Mr. Bohjanen moved to deny the water franchise proposed by U.S. Lakes Development Co. and rewrite a contract with different wording. There was no second to the motion. Most of the Council seemed to feel that there was really no objection to giving clear ownership of the central system to the Company for a period of five years when the cost should be paid and then the Company turning over the system to the Village. However, Mr. Busch continued to protest, saying that they could not possibly obtain financing on something which had strings on it, i.e., couldn't give a first mortgage. He felt that the Company should have com- plete free and clear title; after all, the Village could always condemn the system in the future. Mr. L'Allier and Mr. Busch differed in their interpretation of remarks made by Mr. Aschbrenner, Vice President of Drover's State Bank, referring to possible financing with Village take over it a specific number of years. There was also discussion on the low level of Reshanau Lake and the effect this might have on sales of homes in the project. Mr. Jaworski moved that Lino Lakes grant U.S. Lakes Development Co. a water franchise, with the provision that they be given free and clear title to the systems for period of five years, and with the stipulation that after that period of time, at the Council's discretion, the system be turned over to the Village for the sum of $1.00. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal then moved that the Clerk send a letter to U.S. Lakes Development Co. immediately, setting forth the proposal above, telling them that if the proposal did not meet with their satisfaction, then they should petition for municipal water system hearings. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cecil LaMotte came before the Council with copies of his final plat maps for LaMotte's second addition. A report had been received from the County Surveyor giving some things not on the plat; however, Mr. Gotwald stated that these all seemed to have been corrected. Hearings should be set for a final plat acceptance. Mr. Bohjanen moved to set hearings before the P&Z on Sept. 17th and the Council on Sept. 22nd, After discussion on why it was necessary to go before the P&Z on this matter since they had already seen the preliminary plat and there was no changes, Mr. Bohjanen withdrew his motion. Mr. Bohjanen then moved to set the hearing for Mr. LaMotte before the Council on Sept. 8th. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The police report for July showed the following Mileage 1824 miles, 5 recovered automobiles, 3 accidents, 12 complaints, 1 burglar alarm, 4 escapees from the Youth Center taking 7 hours, 1 stolen car, 1 prowler, 3 medical assists, 1 prisoner taken to jail, 2 break-ins, 2 stolen property, 2 vandalism, 1 dog bite and 6 assists to other police departments. The police requested authorization to purchase the following items: new badges and wallet badges, I.D. cards, rain coats (2), new cases for the blankets, a carrying case for the camera, cases for both guns and a 10 ib. fire extinguisher. Mr. Jaworski moved to allow the purchase of the above items. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. L'Allier announced the meeting set with Lexington and Circle Pines to discuss possible County policing or pooling of departments for Aug. 21st at 7 p.m. to be held at Lexington. Mr, Al Ross suggested that, in order to help out with voter registration, the Clerk might send a letter to the area parishes to put in their bulletins. Mr. Bohjanen moved to send a letter to the churches announcing that voters have to be registered and the pertinent dates. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Ross also denounced the assessing of underground wiring by NSP to customers. This will be taken up at the next meeting. Mr. Ross also suggested that a stipu- lation should be put in the ordinance on trailer parks that buildings with washing facilities should be provided with basements in case of tornadoes. This suggestion was well received. Mr. Cardinal will bring this up next time. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the Clerk to send a letter to NSP objecting to their charges for underground wiring, and indicating that we are passing an ordinance regarding installation of underground utility lines. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Ross also stated that he felt that Lino should accept the County's policing offer. Mr. Bohjanen moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Dupre stated that he had looked at the stucco house from the outside, that they are working on it putting in wiring and replastering, and will re- stucco. Also, Dick Olson had come to get a renewal permit for his basement and that his house is going up. A motion had been made to confirm the setting of hearings for a special use permit for Naegele Sign Co., that members had been contacted by phone, all except Mr. Bohjanen, that the Clerk had stated that she had been unable to contact him the evening that she had talked to the others. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 11:32 p.m. Seconded bar. Rosengren. Aye.

The roll call showed Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Rosengren absent; however, they arrived shortly thereafter. Motion was carried to accept the minutes as corrected. Mr. Bohjanen moved to grant a 3.2 beer license (on -sale) for the Civil Defense at their auction on Sept. 14th at Sunrise Park. Mr. Locher stated-that the insurance papers were in order. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. A letter from Sen. Eugene McCarthy regarding our concern over taxation of municipal bonds was read. The Clerk reported that funds had been received from the State for mobile home taxes as well as, cigarette and liquor taxes. A letter from the Anoka County Welfare Dept. was read; this asked for candidates for Anoka County's Outstanding Senior Citizen. Deadline on entries is Aug. 29. Crystal Ahlman suggested Mrs. Julia Faymorville. Mr. Bohjanen concurred that this was an excellent recommendation. Mrs. Ahlman will fill out the papers. At 8:30 p.m. the hearing for a special use permit for Bruce and Leo Kafka was called to order. The Kafka's are requesting a permit for the parking of a trailer on Leo Kafka's property (being purchased by Bruce Kafka, son) so that Mr. Leo Kafka can live in it for the remainder of his life. Mr. Locher stated that he had examined the affidavits of mailing (Aug. 6) and posting (Aug. 9) and had found them to be in order. Mr. Locher also mentioned that there had been no one at the Planning & Zoning hearing in opposition to the trailer. Mr. Cardinal stated that the P&Z had recommended the special use permit. Mr. Cardinal then moved to abide by the Planning and Zoning's recommendation and grant Leo Kafka and Bruce Kafka a special use permit to park, maintain, and occupy as a residence by Leo Kafka, for the natural life of Leo F. Kafka, a mobile home, according to law, having a minimum size of 10' by 45' floor space. Mr. Bruce Kafka stated that the trailer they were
