VIII.NEW BUSINESS
1. Res. #12-011 – Concurring in the Proposed Issuance of G.O. Refunding Bonds,
Series 2012A by the City of Circle Pines for Public Safety (Police Station)
Administrator Larson stated that as Council is aware, several years ago, the three member
Cities of the Centennial Lakes Police Department purchased property and constructed the
current police building located at 54 North Road, Circle Pines. Administrator Larson
stated that the original project was bonded for $2,365,000; however, with the lower
interest rates that can be obtained to date, a cost savings of about $100,000 would be
achieved if the remaining debt were refunded and reissued. Discussion ensued regarding
paying off the debt rather than refinancing and it was determined that at this point it is not
financially feasible.

for Ski Shows & Practices (May 1-September 3, 2012)
Administrator Larson Dallas stated that the Bald Eagle Waterski Show desires to again
provide practices and shows within the City at Trailside Park. Administrator Larson
stated that the City owns property that abuts CSAH14 and the St. Paul Regional Water
Department owns the property that abuts the lake. Administrator Larson stated that the
City has an agreement in place with the Water Department to utilize the property and it
expires in 2013. Attorney Glaser suggested a more formal permit for the Bald Eagle
Waterski Show, Inc. which would help elevate liability concerns and add protection for
the City. Administrator Larson stated that due to Attorney Glaser’s vacation and Bald
Eagle Waterski Show’s scheduled use the item has been forwarded to them for
consideration slightly premature even though the permit needs minor refinement.
a. Res. #12-012 – Approving Permit
Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member King, to
approve Res. #12-012 approving the permit, with the understanding that minor
modifications by the city attorney were likely. All in favor. Motion carried

Street Project and Budget. Consensus of Council was to schedule this meeting for June
13, 2012, following their regularly scheduled meeting.
