HomeMy WebLinkAbout09/08/1969 Council Minutes1 1 1 on Sept. 2nd by the Personnel Commission: that the wage of the Deputy Clerk should be equal to that of the road foreman, and the salary of the Clerk Treasurer should be in the $3.00 per hour range. It was finally decided that the Deputy -Clerk be given an approximate 10% increase to $2.60 per hour, and that the Clerk Treasurer be given a merit raise to bring her salary into line with other payroll salaries, thus making her salary $300.00 per month for an approximate $3.00 per hour. There was discussion on the police budget since the near future in that department is still uncertain. There are three possibilities: the County policing, the pooling of surrounding communities' policing, or keeping our system as is, but having to send at least two men to school for several weeks. This last alternative would also mean the purchase of a new squad car. The total budget for police was set at $16,000. Mr. Rosengren began a discussion on setting up fees for building trades licenses, as is done in most other municipalities. This matter will need some checking out and will be discussed at the Sept. 8th meeting. The Clerk was asked to remind Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Cape of the date of the next budget meeting on Sept. 25th. The Clerk is also to ask the Assessor what amounts can be expected next year from additional assessments. Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 10:42 p.m. Seconded b . Rosengre Minutes approved at the meeting of September 22, 196 --- eri- Treasurer The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on September 8, 1969, was called to order at 8:09 p.m. with all members present. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the minutes of the August 25th meeting as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Gotwald which stated that the street work done in LaMotte's Second Addition had been inspected, and that the remaining work, con- sisting of the construction of 2 catch basins and laying a plant mix paver -laid bituminous surface, 30 feet wide, gutter to gutter, would cost about $3,000. There- fore, the amount Mr. LaMotte should provide in a savings certificate for the Village would be $4,500.00. A letter from the First State Bank of Hugo was then read which stated that they are holding Time Savings Certificate #1122 for $4,500.00 at the request of Mr. Cecil LaMotte. Mr. Locher stated that this was all in order. The Clerk read a letter from the Centerville Clerk which was to act as a bill of sale for the tanker truck purchased from them on July 9th. Mr. Bohjanen thought that the truck had been purchased by Centerville from some other small community and the title card had never been received. Mr. Locher stated that we should get a regular bill of sale from Centerville. He will provide forms for the same. A bid on a tape recorder from Bill Munt Equipment Service was read. The cost for a Craig 2106 tape recorder would be $52.00 and with an AC adapter, foot switch, headset, bulk eraser and moderating speaker would be approximately $72.00. He had also provided the cost for 5 -inch reels: the 1200 foot reel would be $2.45 each and the 1800 foot reel would be $7.05 each. Mr. Bohjanen inquired whether the Clerk had received a call from another company and was told "no ". The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Munt to bring out a set for a demonstration. Mr. Bohjanen will call the other representative. Mr. L'Allier moved to pay the League of Minnesota Municipalities due in the amount of $333.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk stated that the deed for the easement on the Harmer property had just been received. Mrs. Crystal Ah3man was assured that the variance was now granted. A letter directed to Murnane, Battis, DeLambert and Conlin, Attorneys at Law, from Mr. Eugene R. Gere, Director of Waters, Soils and Minerals, concerning the recommendations made a part of the dredging permit No. P.A. 68-822 issued to U.S. Lakes Development Company for Reshanau Lake, was read. These recommendations were for a series of soil borings and observation wells. Mr. LtAilier stated that he had asked Mr. Gotwald to be present when these were made. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether copies had been made of the earlier Conservation Letter and the dredging permit. He would also like a copy of this September 4th letter. The Clerk will check and have copies made to send to the Council. A copy of the dredging permit for Rice Creek by U.S. Lakes had been received rather than the one for the lake. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Bernard E. Steffen, County Administrator, addressed to the Mayor, stating that the matter of taxing of municipal bonds had concerned the County Commissioners and that they had passed a resolution and sent same to the legislators. A copy of this resolution as well as a reply letter from Mr. Clark MacGregor were enclosed. These were passed around. Mr. Cardinal reported that he, Mr. Jaworski and the Building Inspector had looked at a house in Shoreview which the owner, Perry Malvin, Jr. (and his father), wished to have moved into the Village on a lot on the inside corner of Linda and Laurene. Mr. Cardinal stated that the house was solid, but looked bad since someone had broken the windows and some of the siding. Mr. Malvin is willing to put up a sizeable amount of money to cover bringing in the house and will fix up the house to our specifications. The house meets St. Paul and Shoreview codes. A list of the work which they plan to do on the house was read. He thought it was possible to fix up the outside in 30 days as the materials for same had been acquired. It was stated that the representative of the P&Z, Mr. Glenn Rehbein, had not been present to see the house. Mr. Cardinal thought that the stairway from the basement should be widened this was also planned. Mr. Locher checked the building ordinance and stated he thought that the house met the minimum floor area requirement, however, the Building Inspector will measure. Mr. Cardinal moved that Mr. Perry Malvin, Jr. be allowed to move the house into Lino Lakes with the following stipulations on the building permit: 1) the outside of the house must be fixed up within 30 days. 2) the stairway from the basement must be brought up to adequate size. 3) the electrical inlet must be sized to meet our code (100 amp.) 4) the house must meet minimum code floor area. 5) the completion date for the interior work and landscaping was set at June 1, 1970. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Rosengren informed Mr. Malvin that he would have to pay the cost of a culvert if one was needed. Mr. Malvin was also informed about the plumbing ordinances, and was told to check with the Building Inspector for the necessary permits and costs for same. 1 1 1 1 1 1 Mr. Cardinal stated that Mr. Edwin Anderson, vice - president of the Northwest Saddle Club, had requested a permit to place a trailer house as a permanent dwelling for a caretaker on their property as much of their equipment including the gates has been stolen. Mr. Anderson had been told that two 90-day permits could be issued but then a special use permit was necessary. Mr. Cardinal moved to set hearings for a special use permit for the Northwest Saddle Club to park a trailer on their property on the date of November 19 before the Planning & Zoning Commission and on November 24th before the Council at 8:30 p.m. for both hearings. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Anderson immediately so he could give these facts to a Board Meeting of the Club. The Attorney has the legal description for the property. Mr. Bohjanen stated that Mr. Kluglman of the Club had mentioned that maybe a mall building could be put up instead. Mr. Cardinal thought that the Club might wish to bring in the trailer before the November hearings, and should be allowed to get a 90 -day permit. Mr. L'Allier noted that this 90-day permit was only temporary and would not affect the decision on the special use permit. Mr. Bohjanen thought that the Building Inspector remind the Club that the 90 -day permit was only temporary; he could also specify a spot to park the trailer. The legal description for the permanent site of the trailer, if allowed, could be determined later. Mrs. Sarner, Assessor, had expressed thanks for the raise in salary and also had requested that she be paid monthly rather than in one lump sum. It was the con - sensus of the Council that a monthly wage was all right with them. It was left to the Clerk to set up the payments with Mrs. Sarner (as to when they would start). Mr. Cecil LaMotte stopped in to see if everything was in order for his final plat hearing on the 22nd. Mr. Locher discussed the outlot with him. Mr. LaMotte stated that he would deed the easement outlot to the Village after the plat is accepted. Mr. L'Allier noted that the underground utilities ordinance was on the agenda; however, the representative from NSP was unable to come before September 22nd. Mr. Bohjanen thought it would be better to hear the man before the ordinance was adopted rather than after. Mr. Locher noted that he had received a claim from the Post Office regarding the sign drawings from Naegele which had not been re- ceived. Mr. Cardinl moved that the proposed underground utilities ordinance be adopted with the inclusion of the recommended changes made by Anoka Electric Cooperative. Mr. Rosengren stated thatthe proposed ordinance made no mention of pipelines or other underground facilities excluding telephone and electric lines. There was some discussion on including "distribution" lines in the ordinance, having plans for all lines required and on file, and having the Engineer inspect all such plans. Mr. Cardinal then moved that the previous motion be withdrawn and that Mr. Locher revise the wording of the ordinance to include other underground lines, and that copies of the revised ordinance be sent to the Council and Planning & Zoning members prior to the next meeting.. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Jaworski had no report. Mr. Bohjanen handed out three copies of the planned brochure and asked that the members look it over and add any corrections or additions to it prior to the next meeting. Mr. Bohjanen will give the Clerk a copy so that extras can be made. This 240 will then be written up in booklet form. They will also request census and taxation information and would like to have a map showing boundaries of the school districts. The brochure will be done regardless of the waiting of the airport decision. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether the Engineer had given us a final report on the supposed pollution at the Youth Center. He will contact Mr. Gotwald on it. Mr. Bohjanen also asked whether we had ever received the survey from the Flanagans regarding their garage next to Schwankl's. The Clerk reported that nothing had been received and was instructed to write the Flanagans for a progress report. A copy of the motion asking for the survey will be included in the letter. Mr. Rosengren reported that the planned work on Bald Eagle Blvd. could not be done because they had run short of help. They had needed time for the contractor to haul the material, and then no help was available. Instead they had substituted putting liquid sulfite on 4th Avenue from Main Street to Pine Street, also on the east end of 80th from the bridge to the County Line. Some of the material had been left over so they had put it on East Rondeau Lake Road. This seems to be working out and should hold up for one year. Mr. Rosengren thought that he might ask to use more bf this sulfite at the next meeting --it is available and being stored at New Brighton. Mr. L'Allier noted that there was a drop -off from the bridge on 80th onto the approach aprons. Mr. Rosengren stated that this bridge was not yet done. Mr. Denny Houle insisted that the Village should write the contractor about this. The Clerk was instructed to write -- Mr. Rosengren will get the name and address of the contractor. W. Rosengren also noted that water to thin the sulfite had been purchased from Elwell Farms and a bill would be forthcoming. He had also needed to take a piece of 6" hose for the sulfite. Mr. L'Allier reminded the members of the meeting set the following evening for drawing up the specifications for the new municipal building. Mr. Rosengren stated that Bald Eagle Blvd. would be done as soon as possible. Mr. Gotwald will attend the next budget meeting. Mr. L'Allier announced that he had a volunteer for the Personnel Commission. He therefore appointed Mr. Jerry Bolin, East 64st St., to serve on the Personnel Commission. Mr. Jaworski moved to confirm the appointment. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. L'Allier reminded the Council of the CD auction to be held on Sunday, September 14th. Mr. L'Allier stated that the State Auditor's Office had told him there would be an additional sales tax rebate this year, at the rate of $1.34 per capita, to go in general funds. Mr. L'Allier also stated that Vern Plaisance had said that the Legislature had approved 100% of our claim against the State for policing at the Youth Center. However, it will take some time for the money to be disbursed. Mr. L'Allier reminded that the meeting on policing at Lexington would be held at 7 p.m. on September 18th with several speakers to be present. A request for a survey by the State Crime Apprehension Bureau has been made. 1 1 1 ? 11 Mr. Rosengren asked about blacktopping the skating rinks. Mr. Jaworski stated that present plans were to put clay on them. They have been spraying the weeds. There was discussion on various types of sealers to be used. Mr. Jaworski will check with chemical companies for opinions. Mr. Denny Houle inquired whether the sulfite used on roads had killed the weeds. Since this hadn't been done last year, no one had checked on it then and it couldn't be determined this year. Mr. L'Allier mentioned the water and sewer study maps now on the bulletin board. Mr. Locher stated that the agreement for the Baldwin Lake Park property had been redrawn and partially signed by the City of St. Paul. He went over the changes which had been made. He also stated that Mr. Ray had assured him that the property would be covered by liability insurance. Any plans we might make for changes in the property will have to be first approved by the Water Department. The Village will build any roads deemed necessary and will maintain any existing and new roads. They want a certified copy of the resolution accepting the agreement and author- izing the signing of same by the Mayor and Clerk. Mr. Cardinal moved that a resolution be passed accepting the agreement to lease the property on Baldwin Lake from the Board of Water Commissioners of the St. Paul Water Department, that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the agreement, that the copies of said agreement be given the Attorney to get the necessary signatures, and that the Clerk send a certified copy of this resolution to the Board of Water Commissioners. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher stated that all was in order to get the deed for the 2 -acre parcel from the Waldochs for the new municipal building. There would be an outright purchase for this parcel and a contract for deed on the remainder of the 30 acres. Notice of the purchase would have to be published if the amount of purchase was in excess of 1% of the assessed valuation- -Minn. Statutes 4112.21. Mr. Cardinal moved to pass a resolution authorizing that the papers be drawn:up for the deed, that the publishment be made, if necessary, that the Clerk disburse the check in the amount of $2100.00 to Mr. and Mrs. Yin. Waldoch in exchange for clear title to the 2 -acre parcel. Mr. Cardinal will deliver the check personally. Mr. Locher will work out the title, having a certificate of survey. The schedule of payments on the $14,300 left on contract for deed, based on $2860 per year plus 5% interest per annum, as follows: September '70-- $3,575; September '71-- $3,430; Septem- ber '72-- $3289; September '73- -$3,146; September '74-- $3,043. This is actually two separate sales. Motion seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher stated that he had typed up the Fire Marshall Ordinance but had for - gotten to bring the copies with him. This ordinance would amend ordinance No. 24. A copy of the Fire Prevention Code by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and a copy of the Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Portable Fire Extinguishers must be kept on file. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt Ordinance No. 24A, amending Ordinance No. 24 (Burning), taken from Ord. No. 68 of Lexington with changes, that the necessary manuals be obtained and kept on file. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Myhre noted that a new State Statute on burning had been adopted. Crystal Ahlman inquired about the variance on the Hammer property. Mr. Locher pointed out a discrepancy in the name of Hubert F. or Hubert Frank Hammer, and stated that this would have to be corrected. Mrs. Ahlman stated that she would have it taken care of. 242 Mrs. Ahiman then stated that if the proposed site for the trailer court were not acceptable, that Mr. Stein would be willing to build it on some other parcel if the Council would wish to suggest one. There was discussion, mentioning that in our proposed zoning there would be areas set aside for trailer parks, that it would be necessary to have a franchise to bring in sewer by an individual (NSSSD does not contract with individuals). Mrs. Ahlman stated that Vogt Construction was interested to have industrial zoning passed so that they could bring in industry to Lino. After discussion Mrs. Ahiman decided that they would go ahead with the hearings as scheduled. Mr. Myhre stated that he and Mr. Hauer had asked the County to have the State replace missing speed signs in the Centerville area as well as 'no parking' signs, but nothing has been done. Mr. Jaworski asked about signs on speed limits on CSA 14 between Hwy. 8 and Hwy. 65. Mr. Bohjanen moved that a letter be sent to the County Administrator with carbon copy to the Sign Department to replace the signs. Seconded by-Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Myhre stated that they had ordered two new tires for the squad car. Mr. Rosengren thought it was time to order a new squad car. Mr. Bohjanen moved that we call for bids on a new squad car, using the last bid forms with minor changes. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried. It was decided not to publish the bids as no results had been obtained previously. Mr. Myhre mentioned that he and Mr. Hauer had been called to assist at the Ever- green Market a few days before and wondered whether our insurance covered them when they went outside the Village. He had spoken with some one at the County and had been told that they were not covered. The Clerk would check on the letters received during the Mutual Aid Agreement discussions. Mr. Locher stated that we must get informal bids on the car. The date to open the bids was set for October 13th at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Cardinal moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 10:17 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. All voted aye.

All members were present except Mr. Rosengren who arrived a few minutes later. Mr. Cardinal moved to accept the minutes of the September 4th budget meeting as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the minutes of the September 8th regular meeting as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren and carried unanimously. The Clerk reported that the affidavits of publishing had been received for Ordinance No. 24A and for the notice of filing of affidavits of candidacy for election. A DATA -log from the MetKo Council had been received showing the estimated population for Lino Lakes as of April 1, 1969 to be 3,409. Lists of candidates for election judges for the November 4th election had been received from both the DFL and GOP. These were passed around. Mr. Locher stated that 8 judges would be needed as based upon a minimum of 3 plus 1 for each 150 voters at the last election. The Clerk stated that only one shift of judges would be needed since the ballot counting wouldn't take much more than two hours for a local election; also, the judges seemed quite willing to put in the long hours. A letter from NSP was read which gave revised provisions for the charges to be made for underground installation of lines in new residential districts. The monthly charge would be $2.00 per customer for not more than 30 years from date of instal- lation; or the customer could make a non - refundable contribution of $220.00. Re- vised rate schedules effective Sept. 15 were also enclosed. Mr. L'Allier stated that this was a ridiculous proposal; other companies didn't charge customers for installation of underground lines. He felt there was no reason why NSP should come back on the mall man for 30 years for this. Mr. L'Allier stated he would per- sonally contact the public service department of NSP on the matter. A letter from the Metropolitan Housing Council supporting the charge by NSP was then read. They feel that NSP's charge is less than if the contractors themselves owned the lines and installed them. Its president, Mr. Laukka, felt that the $2.00 per month surcharge would be reduced in the next few years and eventually eliminated. Mr. L'Allier noted that they miss one obvious thing; that the maintenance costs are reduced by using underground lines. The statement that the charge will be eliminated doesn't add up.
