Total disbursements $24,395.20. <br />Councilman Johnson - No report <br />Councilman Baumgartner's Report <br />Councilman Baumgartner announced there would be a Recreation meeting on <br />February 22nd at 7:00 P.M. He invited interested citizens to come to the <br />meeting and hopefully they would become members. <br />Councilman Hodges asked how soon the Park Bond issue could be brought before the <br />people again. Attorney Meyers did not think there was a time limit but he would <br />check to make sure. <br />Councilman Pickar's Report <br />Councilman Pickar announced that Barbara Haake had received a letter from the <br />Anoka County Superintendent of Parks in reference to her letter on Fridley <br />creating a new beach on Spring Lake, stating that Fridley has an outstanding <br />park program. Councilman Pickar stated that that isn't the major issue here, <br />but rather the problem that more pollution will be created with the addition of <br />another swimming beach on Spring Lake. A meeting will be held on February 28th <br />which Mrs. Haake will attend. Mayor Neisen stated that it was encouraging that <br />Fridley wanted to get together and talk it over. He suggested that perhaps <br />another date could be set so all could get together and meet since February 28th <br />is a Council night. <br />Mr. Ted Moore asked if there was any chance of getting more "free" time for <br />hockey at Lambert Park. At the present time there is so much scheduled hockey <br />that the rest of the young boys don't have any chance to use the rink. He felt <br />with more "free" time for hockey there would be less chance for the boys to get <br />into trouble with the police. Councilman Baumgartner stated that it is a <br />difficult situation but he would try to remedy it at least by next year by <br />trying to schedule the Lake Region Hockey at different times leaving more "free" <br />time for dther boys. <br />Inspector Skiba - No report. <br />Councilman Johnson asked Mr. Skiba if the occupancy certificate for the 90 unit <br />apartment building at 5445 Jackson Drive had been granted. Mr. Skiba said no. <br />Mr. Skiba said that fire sensors still had to be installed and steel thresholds, <br />which is a state requirement, had to be put in before the building could be occupied. <br />He said there were eight families living in the apartment including the caretakers. <br />Attorney Meyers stated that he still had not received the street easements or the <br />covenants which had to be redrafted before they could be filed due to the change <br />of ownership. Councilman Baumgartner stated that they had long ago had a <br />conversation with Brama and Babinski about what had to be done. Attorney Meyers <br />stated that the building should be tagged because they were in violation of our <br />building code since a certificate of completion had not been issued yet and they <br />were allowing people to move in. Only the caretakers were given permission to <br />occupy the building, one in each wing. Attorney Meyers stated he would contact <br />the attorney for Brama and Babindci again. <br />5 Ayes <br />
