Regular Meeting March 28, 1977 pa~ge 6 instructed to make the necessary contacts with Anoka County in order to obtain funds to defray this platting expense. The City does undertake this platting obligation in consideration for the conveyance to the City or County of the necessary road right of way. Mayor Cox said Congressman Oberstar indicated how important it is and that he is pleased that the bridge proposal is in Washington. Mr. Peltzer commented on the park fund dedication being so high for developing in the Industrial Park and asked about development of the land area around the road. Mayor Cox said Mr. Peltzer's concern is well taken and added that the industrial park does nothing but create jobs and doesn't burden the school tax. Mayor Cox asked if Mr. Peltzer would like to sit down and talk to Ramsey EDC and Mr. Peltzer indicated he would. MOTION by Mickelson Seconded by Gorham to authorize the City attorney to draft appropriate agreements for Industrial Road right of way agreements and for them to be executed by the Mayor and individual land owners. Mr. Greenberg spoke on a feasibility study that is 90% federal and state funded and can be conducted to research the possibility of the airport becoming municipal. If it does become municipal some revenues will be derived. The other 10% will be paid back to the Industrial Park at that time. The Industrial Park is reserving $1350 in case this doesn't go through. MOTION by Mickelson Seconded by Reimann that the representative, Mr. Greenberg, should the City go forward with the feasibility study will insure the City on behalf of the Industrial Park that it will expend none of the City's funds for the feasibility study. The maximum cost to the Industrial Park will be $1350. MOTION by Gotham, Seconded by Reimann to adopt Resolution No. 34. ATTORNEY REPORT Ordinance amending Ordinance 76-2 extending the moratorium was presented by Attorney Goodrich. He said this should be passed by the last meeting in April. This affects the present moratorium and continues it for 90 days ~ 5 Aye. 5 Aye~ 5 Aye~ Mr. Nereson reviewed the Urban plan stages. Attorney Goodrich reported that there is a bill in front of the legislature to have the County Attorney's office prosecute all misdemeanors and have the Mayor testify. There will be no local prosecution, the County will be doing it. This is good in that it is more economical, bad because it is one step closer to regionalism. Mayor Cox said it is highly irritating that good local representation is being taken away from the people. Attorney Goodrich reported that the Nelson and Guy lawsuits are still pending.
