CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
October 3, 1983
The staff and council discussed the possible causes for the bids being
higher, and one of them mentioned was the fact that the site chosen
north of the fire station had a water table approximately six feet below
the surface in July of 1983, according to engineering tests made on the
site by the city. As a result, the basement floor of the building had
been placed just above the water table, and fill would be required to be
trucked into the site to raise the ground elevation relative to the
first floor of the building. Discussion was held on whether or not the
city should go ahead and close on the purchase of the property, which
was scheduled for October 11th with Mr. Murphy. The consensus of the
city council was that the city had indicated that the site would be
north of the fire station when the campaign was held to seek voter
approval of the bond referendum.
83.443 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to approve the payment of
$52,400 for the three acre parcel of land from Bernard Murphy for the
police station north of Fire Station No. 1 and authorize the staff to
close on the purchase on October 11, 1983 with Mr. & Mrs. Murphy.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun,
Sindt.
At this time Mayor Zaun opened the public hearing on the proposed use of
federal revenue sharing funds for 1984. There was no one present
wishing to speak on the matter.
83.444 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Nelson to close the public
hearing on the use of federal revenue sharing in 1984.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt,
Enright.

CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
October 3, 1983
At this time Mr. Dan Gustafson, managing agent for the Countryview
Mobile Home Park, presented the plans for the proposed new 40 x 100 foot
storm shelter for the park. The Chief of Police/Civil Defense Director,
Richard Radermacher, gave the council a written report on his review of
the proposed plans and recommended acceptance of them, with the excep-
tion of some of the area in the existing administration building at the
park. Mr. Radermacher indicated that some improvement would have to be
made in the exposure of an area of that building due to its window
configuration and exposure.
Mr. Radermacher indicated that he had reviewed the proposed plans and
had checked with the building inspector at the City of Burnsville, who
had recently approved plans for storm shelters at some mobile home parks
in that community, and found these to be similar.
83.448 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to receive the plans for
the new storm shelter for the Countryview Mobile Home Park.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun,
Sindt.
The city administrator advised the council that the written quotations
received for the phase one, two and three work for remodeling at the
Lakeville Liquor Store came in over the $15,000 ceiling for taking
quotations, and they were incomplete. The city did not receive any
quotes from a general contractor for carpentry work. The quotes
received on the mechanical and plumbing were above the $15,000, thereby
necessitating sealed bids. The same was true on the quote received for
the kitchen equipment from a supplier. It was recommended the council
reject the quotes and authorize the taking of sealed bids from a general
contractor for all the work necessary to accomplish the phase one, two
and three remodeling and sealed bids from kitchen supply firms for
kitchen equipment.
83.449 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to reject the quotes
received on the liquor store remodeling.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt,
Enright.
83.450 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to authorize and approve
the taking of sealed bids for a general contractor for remodeling at the
Lakeville Liquor Store No. 1 for phases one, two and three and to
authorize sealed bids for the purchase of kitchen equipment from
suppliers for liquor store no. 1 and set the bid opening for November 1,
1983 at 2:00 p.m. at city hall.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt, Enright,
Harvey.

CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
October 3, 1983
At this time l+sr. Mark Ulfers and Ms. Kari Erickson from the Dakota
County H.R.A. addressed the city council concerning single family
mortgage revenue bonding programs. Mr. Ulfers presented a written
outline of how the program works in the state of Minnesota and how the
Dakota County H.R.A. could assist the city and act for the city in
attempting to get state authority to issue mortgage revenue bonds to
supply funds for new home mortgages for moderate cost housing. He
indicated that the potential saving on the interest rate to the home
buyer is in the range of one and one half to two percent.
He further indicated that another way the city can assist in making the
application more appealing to the state and helping the first time
moderate cost home buyer is by setting up a tax increment district to
write down some of the interest rate during the initial years using part
of the property tax increase.
Mr. Jack Lankas was present and generally spoke in favor of the concept
as a builder in Lakeville.
83.451 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to adopt Resolution No.

a new canopy over their gasoline pumps at their station at the corner of
Cedar Avenue and 167th Street. The city council discussed the recommen-
dation forwarded from the Planning Commission and Mr. George's concern
and opposition to some of the conditions recommended for approval.
