200 January 24, 1977 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 8:05 P.M. on January 24, 1977 by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present: Karth, McLean, Sch- neider, Zelinka. Absent; None. Mr. Locher, Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Short were also present. The first order of business was the presentation of the "Citizen of the Year" award. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to read the sketch of the person receiving the award. Mr. Gunder Gunderson was cited for his many contributions in several capacities to the City of Lino Lakes. Also for his work and recognition in his service to the Civil Defense and VFW. Mr. Gunderson received the award with "thanks" to the City. Mr. McLean moved to approve the minutes of the January 10, 1977 meeting as presented. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk presented the following items for Council consideration: ..Mr. Gotwald has submitted a letter establishing the amount necessary for a road bond for the Pine Haven Plat. Mr. Jerry Blackbird was present representing developer of that plat. He said he would ask for the bond to be valid for a two year period or 75% completion of the plat, whichever occurred first. Mr. Locher said another way this could be handled which he felt was more eff4cient, is a letter of credit. This method protects the City in case the developer says he will not install the streets. A road bond will only cover the installation if the developer fails. Mr. Locher said if the bond method is used, a contractors agree- ment should accompany the bond. Mr. Blackbird felt this would not present a problem. Mr. McLean moved to approve the road bond with the accompanying contractor's agree- ment. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried with Mr. Karth abstaining. ..An application for the installation of a well for irrigation purposes in sec. 5 & 6 of Washington County had been dropped off at the City offices. This is a 10" well, 150 feet deep and will be used 24 hours per day from June through September. The Coun- cil was concerned about the effect this well will have on the private wells in that area. This is the third such well to be applied for in the same general area. Mr. McLean suggested holding this until Mr. Gotwald arrived for his comments. ..A copy of the plans and specifications for the landscaping of 135E from the Ramsey County Line to the junction of 135W had been received. This was discussed with Mr. McLean asking if there is any mention of a sound barrier to be errected along that interstate. The Clerk had checked the specifications, and the only things listed are trees and shrubs. Mr. McLean moved to approve the plans and specifications providing there are no sound barriers. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. ..The Police Contract with the City of Centerville was considered. Chief Myhre had recomputed the cost figures. Centerville had reviewed these figures and the Clerk had called to say they had no questions. The cost figures to be used is $21.96 per capita. Mr. Schneider moved to approve this contract. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. ..The cost for Police coverage at the MMTC for the last six months of 1976 had been computed by Chief Myhre and the Clerk presented these figures for Council consideration There was some discussion on these figures with Mr. Schneider asking that a decision on this be deferred. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
