Falcon Heights State Fank, made out to us and the Minnesota State Highway Department, jointly, covering interest on money held in connection with the sewer work done on Snelling Avenue and asked if we could cash it. Attorney Graham advised Mr. Olsen he could not cash the check, and said he would consult with Mr. Steffes of TKDA Rr Associates about the matter and advise Mr. Olsen further. Telephone The distribution of telephone charges was discussed and it was Bills decided that Mi. l~-5575 should be split three ways -- 1~3 to Public Safety, 1~3 to General Fund and 1~3 to Fire Department. Streets Shavor asked Ljungren if it would be practical and advisable to have tests made by Twin City Testing Laboratories to see if material in streets where they are breaking up is satisfactory. Shavor also asked Ljungren about responsibility. Ljungren said we had a 1 year guarantee against faulty workmanship and faulty material - that it was a divided responsibility.- Lametti is responsible for bringing in material and Craig for stabilizing. Ljungren thinks there is some clay in the mat, or the top 1 foot of material which Lametti hauled in. Crraham suggested we take this matter up with Steffes again and tell him we don't think it should be doing this and ask Steffes if he thinks we should have tests made. Nilsen agreed to talk to Steffes. Tatum Engineer Ljungren reported finding large hunks of clay about the Street size of a bushel basket when they were opening up Tatum Street. This would be La_metti's responsibility. It was agreed that Steffes or another engineer from T. K. D. A. & Associates should be present when the next section of the street is opened up. Ljungren advised that he had T. C. Testing make a few tests of the street before they started work so they could determine the duality of the base and not be subjected to the charge of moving the base. Ljungren says Tatum is full of pure clay. He thinks Tatum was of material taken out of sewer trenches. Ljungren advised that because of the steepness of the ditch at Larpenteur and Tatum in front of Labalestra's house, the black dirt is washing away as fast as they can put it in. In view of this fact, he suggested that it be sodded around inlet and outlet of flared end of culvert at station 10 + 02 centerline. Also sodding east of ditch of Tatum from station 2 ~ 50 to Larpenteur Avenue ditch - 250 sq yds sod a.t 6s¢ ner sq yd. complete in place at a cost of °169.00. It was moved by Coppini, seconded by Shavor and unanimously voted to approve Change Order #2 to T. A. Shifsky ~ Sons covering this work. Pascal Shifsky & Sons bid X325.00 on this job so Ljungren asked them to Avenue do this job at the time they do Tatum and it should be completed Ditch in a week. Fences There was a discussion regarding fences, including the higher California Type Redwood Fences, and it eras the opinion of the Council that we should not enforce our ordinance regarding height, as long as the fence is attractive and acceptable and not just an ugly spite fence. Special A special meeting was set for 7:30 P. M. Thursday, July 31st. Meeting i\f ;1.~
