-10- January 26, 1976
there is going to be two bowling alleys going in and have to
probably hire another policeman, so not willing to make $10,000
be maximum fee. My reason for making this last statement is
that I feel you should be forewarned of my thinking as you make
your plans.
Mayor Johnson: We can lay this over as far as I am concerned.
Thank you for coming. We do have to take some action though.
In order to give you plenty of time, let us set the agenda
for February 9 as a continuation of the subject matter. I also
want to thank the businessmen for allowing Administrator Achen
to sit down with you. He is acting in our behalf, is merely
doing what we ask him to do.
Mayor Johnson read a note from the girls of TOPS thanking
Mounds View and presented Mounds View with a box of doughnuts.
Mayor Johnson asked Administrator Achen to get together with
the businessmen and make sure you are consistent on numbers.
Further, would you prepare for us a memorandum expressing and
articulating your statements. Calls to entertainment establish-
ments are serious type calls. I would like a run down as to how
serious the calls are.
Administrator Achen stated that he had received from the State
Department of Public Safety a letter indicating that the business
of Bill Gillespie has not been licensed by the State.
Mr. Gillespie stated that the corner was licensed until two years
ago. He pled ignorance of the law as he didn't realize you had
to have a license for each county. He has one in Bethel. He
further stated that he has cleaned up his lot, moved the bus and
wants to apply for the license with the intent of keeping it a
"lot nicer ".
Mayor Johnson stated that they would approach the problem of a
used car lot on that corner as the Council did for the one on
Spring Lake Road, which had a special use permit enumerating the
things that had to be done. After that was signed a special
use permit was granted. If you want to apply for a permit you
should make application to the city and negotiate with the
administrator as to the requirements of having a used car lot
on that corner. Some of the requirements would be that a
permanent building be put on the lot, adequate lighting, draining
and buffering. Also some kind of screening to keep all of the
junk out of the sight of the neighbors. That is the way you
would proceed.
Mr. Gillespie: I am willing to cooperate but would like 60
days extension on my license.
Mayor Johnson: Meet with Administrator Achen and at least begin
putting down on paper so we understand what you are talking
about and it can be brought up at the next agenda meeting.
