Anoka, Minnesota 55303 The REGULAR monthly meeting of the Grow Township Board of Supervisors met September 14, 1971 at Crooked Lake School. Chairman Louis Appleby called the meeting to order at 8:00P.M. with Supervisors Bradley and Schneider present, along with Planning and Zoning Commission members Stout, Langseth, Jones and Holasek. On the sewer matter, Chairman Appleby said that Bob Hanson is worY~ng with the Metropolitan Sewer Board to see if the Sewer District can be changed. ~~ext the Board discussed snow plovdng for the cOming year. Attorney Beens said that if the estimated cost is under $5000 we need not publish it in the newspaper, only get quotes. If it is over, it must be competitive bidding. LeRoy Winner presented a list of street signs needed and a map. He ~~ll check with Leroy and Lyle Sign Companies for the cost and report to the Board. Next Tom Bergsted took the floor to talk about Community Schools. Anoka, Coon Rapids and Champlin have already started. The program runs for 11 months with August for vacation and a chance to get the schools ready for the coming year. The Township would pay the director and he could be full or part time. The cost could be shared with Coon Rapids for their share of people that attend Crooked Lake. Art Stenquist asked how is it going to be cleaned up and who is gOing to pay for the equipment that gets broken? There are Supervisors for each activity booked in the school and materials would be used under supervision. Hopefully people would volunteer to instruct classes, otherwise a small fee would cover the cost. Rosella Sonsteby asked if it would raise the taxes? No, the program itself would be self supporting. The principal of the school works with the director. The policy is set by the school district and the principal has to go along. Attorney Beens said in Grow it may mean a mill levy increase because we do not have a recreation budget. If we don't have a community school the children that participate at other schools may have to be charged higher fees because they are outside the area. Chairman Appleby suggested a public hearing or a study committee to see how many people are interested. Supervisor Bradley made a'motion we appoint or have a volunteer study committee and have some Y~owledgable people. Supervisor Schneider secomded. Paul Erickson, David Stenger and Rosella Sonsteby volunteered. Trueman Hulegaard offered to grade for the skating rink. Next the amended Junk Yard Ordinance was reviewed. The clerk will keep the applications and licenses on file. Væ. Heidelberger Cuest- ioned the $150 fee for the first year.
