At this time the City Administrator discussed with the council the need for a special election to present the question to the citizens of Lakeville on whether or not the municipal liquor store should be sold.

The council discussed the matter,.:and it was the consensus of the council that special legislation should possibly be obtained from the Minnesota legislature to allow different wording and a question more appropriate to the. situation in Lakeville. The City Administrator recommended wording such as, "Shall the City of Lakeville sell. its municipal liquor stares?" At this time the City Council took up consideration of another special election of the issuance of bonds to finance a new city hall-police station facility.

At this time Mr. Pete Martin, Kent, Stever and Judy Lange of the Library Advisory Committee addressed the City Council concerning their recommendations on the need for a public library_ to serve the City of Lakevilleo Each of the committee members explained to the council what they had done to learn more about the need for and feasibility of locating the library in Lakeville. It was pointed out that the Dakota County Library System would be responsible for operating the facility once one wasestablished.- Mr. Stever stated that possibly the library could be located in the new city hall in the community room area and. that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Bud white to learn possibly what the .senior citizens thought of the idea. He also pointed out that the committee had discussed the matter through the Parent Teachers Associations in the Lakeville school system. Councilman Spande stated that he is reluctant to see the community room in the city hall facility located strictly to library. usage. He stated it might be necessary to acid additional space to the building for a library. so that the community room can be retained for use by groups such as the senior Citizens.

Mr. Gary Smith pointed out .that in the 18 square mile area served by the City of Lakeville.. there are 19~;houses:,: and he questioned the assessed value the City had used in computing .the Contract costs. The City Administrator explained that the City had switched to .using onler assessed valuation. as the factor in dividing the costs between the City of Lakeville. and the .Township of Eureka and the: Township of New Market and City of Elko, assuming .they had retained their contracts. He pointed out that by using this method, if'.one jurisdiction dropped`'©ut of the contract 'arrangement, t~=e other`juri~dictions would not receive an increase in their contracts to the :.City. The City Administrator pointed out that the letter sent to the township in late December advised them of the termination date of the 1980 contract and asked that they advise the City of their intent to either renew the contract or ask .for additional time to consider it. It was acknowledged.. that Eureka Township had sent a letter asking-for additional time. to consider it at their January 'board meeting, and that service by the City to the Township was still in effect. - -4- • • • CITX OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEE'T'ING January 19, 1981 81.46 Motion was made by Nelson, seconded by Sindt to extend the council meeting beyond the 10:30 adjournment time.
