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 MetEo 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 small 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. 244 The Clerk inquired whether the list of corrections to previous minutes now included in the minutes sent to the Councilmen needed to be typed in the master book per se since the minutes are always corrected before being typed into the book. After discussion, it was decided that the list of corrections did not need to be put into the master minutes book as long as the minutes were typed in as corrected. The discussion on election judges resumed. The. Clerk's name had been suggested as an election judge; however, the Council felt that she should be present any- way to oversee things. The Mayor suggested that the top 4 names from each list be chosen. Mr. Bohjanen moved that the following persons be appointed election judges for the November fourth election: Mesdames Agnes LaMotte, Phyliss Blaylock, Joyce Dufresne, Madlyn Crandall, Kay Olson, Jean Krube, Agnes LeTendre, Imogene Secretan; alternate judges: Mrs. Ruth Rector and Mrs. Signe Miller. Mr. Rosengren remarked that some persons with previous experience are desireable on an election board. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The hearing on the final plat for LaMotte's Second Addition was called to order at 8:30 p.m. It was shown that all necessary publications, etc. were taken care of. Mr. LiKotte noted that these were corrected maps and that, since part of the land lies in Centerville, he had a hearing before Centerville on September 30th. Mr. Locher stated that the deed to the outlot would be dated upon the completion of the filing of the plat. The deed for the turnaround was left with the Clerk. Mr. Locher stated that he had talked with the County Surveyor and that all corrections had been taken care of;all was in order. Mr. Locher also noted that the turnaround was only temporary until the whole plat would be finished. Mr. LaMotte stated that he planned six more lots by the lake and the playground --all abutting the blacktop street. He has three persons waiting for lots now. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the land for the park had been dedicated specifically for that purpose, that it was more than ample in area. Mr. Locher noted that one more correction should be made on the plat: on the signatures, Clerk should be changed to Clerk- Treasurer. Mr. Bohjanen moved that Lino Lakes accept the final plat of LaMotte's Second Addition and thatthe Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the hardshells after the correction is made. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried unanimously. It was noted that the Clerk should get the deed for the outlot for approval by the Council. Mr. Cardinal moved that the easement for the turnaround in LaMotte's Second Addition be accepted. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher noted that the deed for same couldn't be dated until the completion of filing; this would be accepted at the next meeting. Mr. Gotwald mentioned that sometimes people wait for quite a while after getting the signatures to file the plat with the County. This should be done immediately so that building permits can be issued. Mr. LaMotte was asked to get a sepia tracing of the signed plat for the Village so that reproductions could be made. The hearing closed at 8:45 p.m. Mr. Cardinal asked about the trailer house parked on Lakeview Avenue. Mr. Jaworski reported that he had checked into it and found that the woman had had trouble with her husband. He had advised her that no one could live in a mobile home without a permit. The trailer is not hooked up to sewer, water or electricity. The trailer is sitting on one lot and is placed very close to the road. Mr. Jaworski moved that a letter be sent to the trailer owner advising her of the provisions of Ord. 39, and 1 telling her that she should get a 90-day permit. The Clerk can get the name and address from Mr. Myhre. Motion seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Jack Sanford stated that he knew the woman and felt that this could classify as a hardship case. He was told that she could apply for a special use permit. Mr. Cardinal stated that they had received a request from Mr. Gary C. McCready to inspect a house at 1500 County Road H in Fridley, which he and Mr. Dupre had duly inspected. Mr. Glenn Rehbein had not been available to inspect for the P&Z. Mr. Cardinal felt that this was a nice home, that it would be an asset to the Village, that the building inspector felt that it was okay to move in. Mr. Cardinal moved that the Building Inspector be authorized to issue the necessary per,its to move Mr. McCready's house into the Village on Holly Drive, about 3/4 mile West of Center- ville Road; with the stipulation that any damage incurred in moving be fixed up within 30 days after moving, and that landscaping (including finish grade, seeding or sodding) be completed by the first of June, 1970. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. It was noted that the Building Inspector would inspect the house to see that this is complied with. The hearing for rezoning by Acton Construction was called to order at 9 :02 p.m. It was shown that notices of the hearing, affidavits of publication and posting were in order. Mr. Jaworski stated that he had attended the hearing for Acton before the Planning and Zoning Commission in place of Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Paul Miller of Acton had told the P&Z that they had no specific plans for the property as of now. They are waiting on the sewer development. Representatives from B. W. and Leo Harris had also been present --they will work with Acton to get the sewer line in at no cost to the Village. The Planning and Zoning Commission had wanted specific development plans for the area. This was okay by Mr. Miller, and the hearing was continued for up to six months. However, Mr. Miller told the Council that he thought he could have plans before the P&Z by their next meeting. Mr. Jaworski moved that the hearing for Acton be con- tinued until October 27th at 9 :00 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. The hearing closed at 9:0$ p.m. Mr. Cardinal moved that Springsted, Inc. be authorized to proceed with the drawing up of necessary materials for the prospectus on the municipal bond issue for the sale of bonds. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. The Clerk was instructed to call Springsted on this the following day and write confirming the action. It was stated that it was quite all right to consult construction people on the building. Mr. Gotwald will work on and with the specifications. Mr. L'Allier mentioned to the audience about renting the present building and the need for a new municipal building. The estimated maximum cost on the project is set at $100,000; some of this will probably not be used, depending on construction costs. All Council members received copies of the specifications. The Council decided that Mr. Locher should do all necessary legal work on the bonding project and that his work should be approved by a name legal bond counselor. It was noted that bondbuyers won't buy unless this approval is put on the issue. Mr. Locher listed the names of some bond counselors in the state. Mr. L'Allier asked whether the condemned building on Sunrise Avenue had been torn down. Mr. Rosengren replied that they couldn't get anyone to do the work at a reasonable price. Mr. Locher mentioned that notices on the building had been sent out. It was decided that the building would be torn down with Village equipment. 246 Mr. L'Allier also asked about the lot full of weeds owned by Windom Realty. This needs notification first, then the Village can cut the weeds and bill the owners. Mr. L'Allier moved that the Clerk send letters of notification on weed cutting to the persons on Mr. Rosengren's list, that the weeds must be removed within 30 days or the Village will cut them and bill the owners. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. The Clerk read the minutes she had taken of the special park board meeting with the County Commissioners and representatives of the Metro Council held on September 29th. Mr. Jaworski stated that their plans were vague, that they had no immediate plans for this area. The Metro Council had a problem with money. There was discussion on the road around Centerville Lake to the park. Mr. L'Allier felt that there was a law stating that the County would have to maintain the ingress and egress from the park since it was a county facility. Mr. Cardinal moved that a letter be written to the County stating that we approveF_of the Park Board's plan to build a road from Centerville Park to County 21. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Jaworski stated that he had attended the meeting with Circle Pines and Lexington on consolidating the police forces. The report made by the police chief of Oakdale, Mr. Robert W. Drowns, gave the cost of a full -time 8-man police force to cost some for everything for the first year, including some 564,760 in salaries. The Clerk was instructed to make copies of the report for the Council. The cost of this force would be $9.82 per capita. Another meeting on this will be held on October 16th at Lexington. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that the C&BDC would meet on October 1 and work on the brochure. They would bring it in booklet form to the Council. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the brochure would be printed, using a sliding or spiral holder so that pages could be added, colors will be used. Mr. L'Allier thought that it should be mentioned that the Village has building and zoning codes available at the Clerk's office. They have two estimates now and hopefully will have a low cost from a local printer. He should have something by the next meeting. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that Mr. Lyle Krueger was building a Big Steer restaurant at the I -35W intersection. He then mentioned that Mr. John Wright and Mr. Henry Massey were selling the Oasis Lounge. Mr. Wright introduced Mr. William Horbal who has had two previous establishments. The Attorney is getting information together on licenses. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had contacted the political parties to see if they will work on the voter registration. The DFL is going house to house urging people to register while the GOP is putting on a phone campaign. It was noted that filing for office would begin the following day at 12:01 a.m. It was mentioned that the St. Joseph's priest had run the notice twice in the church bulletin and mentioned it from the pulpit; also the Lions Club is helping. Mr. Locher read from a sheet summarizing the law on the use of mobile units in voter registration. Mr. Bohjanen remarked that if we couldn't stir up the people to register otherwise, the mobile unit would be no help. Mr. Locher then read from Ord. 31 on the transfer of liquor licenses. These are assignable after inspection by the police if the person meets the residency require- ment. Mr. Horbal will need the insurance and bond as required. Mr. Bohjanen moved that we authorize the inspection by the police of Mr. Horbal and report back at the next meeting. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried. 1 1 1 4 Mr. Locher stated that the other licenses, beer, dancing and cigarette, must be IIIreissued at prorated fees, and refunds must be prorated to the present owners. The liquor licenses are transferable with no new fees needed. Mr. Horbal was told that we would need his proofs at the next meeting—the decision would be made then. Mr. Rosengren stated that they would start working tomorrow making the repairs on Bald Eagle Blvd. He mentioned the possible purchase of a tandem dump truck. Upon questioning, Mr. Rosengren said that a tandem would do a better job since they are heavier; they are more practical. Mr. Jaworski mentioned that the State doesn't use tandems; shouldn't we have a grader? Mr. Ken Rehbein stated that they use only tandems because they don't need so much repair from being overloaded. Mr. Jaworski moved that Mr. Gotwald draw up the specifications for a tandem dump truck and send out bids on same. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Rosengren felt that if they wold the big truck they might get enough to buy a plow and wing for the new truck. Ken Rehbein estimated that there would be $5000 difference between a single and tandem truck. Mr. Rosengren stated that Mr. Juleen thought that, since we wouldn't get much if we sell the old police car, we could use it for the fire marshall. It could be painted and used as an emergency vehicle; they could also carry equipment in it. Mr. Rosengren suggested that the Road Department install metal posts by all culverts so that they can be located in the winter; these posts would be low enough so that the plows won't hit them. The estimated cost if $100. He also mentioned that Oneka would pay their share of work done on their 200' of Bald Eagle Boulevard. IIIMr. Rosengren also stated that Meyer Sign Company was willing to donate a small 10" by 20" sign at the freeway entrance on Highway 8 announcing that all services were available on Highway 8 between the entrance and the Forest Lake exit. They are also willing to conate a similar sign for 35E when it is completed. Mr. Rosengren announced that the Board of Twitchell Cemetery is purchasing three more acres from the Wahlbergs. To raise the $500 they will be having an auction in October. Their current charge is $75.00 for a double lot. Mr. Rosengren would like to see the Village become involved in this cemetery as it is not church - connected. Mr. Gotwald stated that the 1969 sealcoat program was completed and that the contractor will pick up surplus aggregate in two weeks. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Gotwald about the final report on the supposed pollution at the Youth Center. Mr. Gotwald stated that he had taken the samples and submitted them for analysis; however, an error had been made, the samples lost or destroyed and no report was available. He said that we could ask him to do it over again; however this was not a good time of the year. He suggested it be done in the spring or maybe in October if we had enough rain. Mr. Rosengren commended Mr. Ken Rehbein for the work he had been doing along Fourth Avenue in cleaning out the swamp. He mentioned the pre -fab houses, one is up and ready for inspection and the other was to be put up in Twilite Acres the following day. IIIMr. L'Allier announced the meeting of the County Association of Municipalities which was to be held this Wednesday in Fridley at 8 p.m. to discuss fiscal disparities. Mr. L'Allier also reminded the Council of the meeting to be held on October 2nd with Mr. VanHousen, the Planner; the Planning and Zoning Commission members will also be present. 24 Mr. Locher will check on the Minnesota Report Volumes which may be given to him. Mr. Myhre thought that if the police consolidation goes through, they should have a library. Mr. L'Allier read the following police report: miles travelled -- 2,110, 4 domestics, 11 complaints, 2 recovered cars, 2 stolen cars, 1 hit and run property damage, 2 accidents, 1 stolen motorcycle, 2 other stolen property, 1 grass fire, 7 junk cars moved, 1 vandelism, 2 medical, 1 bread -in, 2 prowler calls, and two Youth Center escapees requiring one hour of police time. Mr. Myhre had checked the trailer in Lakeview also and told the owner to check with the Council. Mr. Myhre had been asked to check on the number of cars being worked on on a lot on Sunrise Avenue. He had told Mr. Krueger to quit working on them and this had ceased. Mr. L'Allier asked whether we had received a copy of the new Centerville Fire Contract and was told "no ". Mr. Locher read parts of the new municipal contracting law passed June 4, 1969 as follows: Subd. 4. Contracts from $500 to $5,000. If the amount of the contract is estimated to exceed $500 but not to exceed $5,000, the contract may be made either upon sealed bids or by direct negotiation, by obtaining two or more quotation& for the purchase or sale when possible, and without advertising for bids or otherwise complying with the requirements of competitive bidding. All quotations obtained shall be kept on file for a period of at least one year after receipt thereof. Subd. 5. Contracts less than $500. If the amount of the contract is estimated to be less than $500, the contract may be made either upon quotation or in the open market, in the discretion of the governing body; but, so far as practicable, shall be based on at least two quotations which shall be kept on file for a period of at least one year after receipt thereof. Copies were filed with the Clerk. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, proposes to purchase, for said Village, by Contract for Deed, certain real property situate in the Village of Lino Lakes, from William W. Waldoch and Anna A. Waldoch, husband and wife, for the total sum of $16,500.00; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Annotated, Chapter 412.221, Subd. 2 authorizes the said Village Council to purchase real property under a Contract for Deed; now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village Council of the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota as follows: 1. The Village Council hereby determines that following the expiration of 10 days after publication of this resolution in the official newspaper of the Village of Lino Lakes, the Village will enter into a Contract for Deed in the sum of $16,500.00 payable over a period of not to exceed 5 years to purchase real property situate in Lino Lakes from William W. Waldoch and Anna A. Waldoch, husband and wife. 2. The Village Clerk - Treasurer is hereby directed to publish this resolution in the official newspaper of the Village of Lino Lakes, on September 26, 1969, pursuant to the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Annotated, Chapter 412.221, Subd. 2. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried unanimously. 1 1 1 19 Mr. Locher stated if the Council wished to increase the penalty for misdemeanors to $300 and /or imprisonment a blanket ordinance would have to be passed. Mr. Locher stated that as instructed he had drawn up Ordinance No. 49 on underground utilities, including the recommended changes by Anoka Electric, and broadened it by adding Section 5 on plans and maps to be submitted. This had been studied by both the Council and the P&Z. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt Ordinance 49. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. The hearing for Naegele Sign Company was called to order at 10:25 p.m. There was no representative present from the company. Mr. Cardinal moved to continue the hearing to an indefinite date. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Uniform Building Code was mentioned; the P&Z has not had sufficient time to study it yet. Mr. Jaworski stated that the Building Inspector did not feel that it would replace all of our Code. Mr. R. W. Ellingsen, Weed Inspector, stated that he had finished weed control for 1969. He felt that some kind of a uniform program throughout the State was needed, and that there would be a directive from the State next spring. He mentioned other problems, including the County not spraying all of their ditches. Mr. Ken Rehbein asked whether the 30 acres to be used for the Hall would have to be rezoned to commercial. Mr. Locher checked the law and stated "no ". Mr. Bohjanen moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Locher noted that the three acres to be purchased for Twitchell Cemetery would need a special use permit. The Clerk will write informing them of this. Mr. Jaworski moved to set a meeting with the fiscal agent, Springsted, Inc., for September 29 at 8 p.m. The Clerk will call them the next day and write later. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen noted that he might be late for the meeting. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 10:42 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. BILLS - September 22, 1969: 2622 Harold A.
