Page 2 Regular Council March 26~ 1979 NOTE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS A meeting of the Equipment and Transportation Committee had met on March 16, 1979 to discuss the City's equipment. One of the items of concern to the Council was the estimated cost of repair to the AMC Matador Police Squad for $2,500. A discussion was held on the squad in regards to either trading it off on a new one or repairing it. ~ It was the general concensus of the Council that $2,500 seemed to be quite high for repairs and feel the Police Chief should obtain some price quotes and present them at the next Council meeting. LETTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Gamec noted the City had received a restraining order on Faith Baptist Church. City Attorney Goodmich reviewed with the Council what the restraining order meant and what the City's position is at this time. It meant the stop work order was lifted and they could continue working on restoring the church, however, the case hasn't been settled and any work they may do is on their own risk. The Building Official is to con- tinue making the necessary inspections until such time as the case is finalized. Mayor Gamec also noted the Anoka County Assessor's Office had notified the City that May 15, 1979 had been set up for the annual Board of Review at 7:00 P.M. That meant that if anyone had a complaint on their assessed value on their homes they could come and so state their complaint.
