1731 <br />the snow-plowing for the County, the City of St. Paul <br />and the City of Minneapolis, and they all came up with <br />practically the same answer -- most of their equipment is <br />too large for alley work, and if they do have something <br />that can get through the alley, they have complaints that <br />they have broken fences, dumped garbage cans, piled up 3 or <br />!t' of snow in front of garage doors, nicked garages, etc. <br />After they finish the streets, the equipment has to go in <br />for repair, which would mean a delay of several days be- <br />fore they could get to the alleys. In the meantime, it <br />would be more practical for those wishing their alleys <br />plowed to make a block-by-block project, someone collecting <br />75¢ or a dollar from each resident and arranging for the <br />hire and payment of someone who has groper equipment and <br />can give good service, such as the Filling Stations, some <br />of which have equipment suited for this type of work. <br />Curb and Gutter Mrs. Tjernlund asked why it was necessary to have curb and <br />gutter on Crawford. Engineer Lemberg advised that the <br />corner of Simpson and Crawford had always been a trouble- <br />spot but that the Village hadn't been able to do much <br />about it because of lack of storm sewer. Now, that the storm <br />sewer had been laid on Larpenteur, the Village was planning to <br />take care of the troublesome areas as soon as funds became <br />available, by rebuilding the street and installing curb and <br />gutter which would provide a water course to the storm <br />sewer, and protect the edge of the street mat from water <br />which would otherwise seep under and cause the black-top to <br />break up. <br />Village T~Iayor Nilsen advised that Al Helbig had agreed to act as <br />1~.2aintenanee Maintenance Superintendent and take care of the work that <br />Superintendent can be done locally such as street patching, repairing of <br />signs, etc. Helbig was authorized to consult with Engineer <br />Lemberg for a list of recommended tools and authorized to <br />purchase same. <br />Police Dept. Commissioner Arndt reported he had no problems in the Police <br />Department, but that he had had specifications written up <br />for a new Police car. The present car now shows about lt8 <br />thousand miles. Warkentien moved that the Village Council <br />authorize Attorney Galvin to advertise for bids for the <br />police car according to specifications prepared. Seconded <br />by Stone an d carried. <br />Civil Defense Director tiYeet reportedt Atwo-thousand gallon tank truck was <br />donated to the Village, but that it hadn't been picked up as <br />yet. The first phase of the fallout shelter survey has been <br />completed. Fcesults are being awaited to estimate our shelter <br />capacity. The Village Hall has been designated as a temporary <br />warehouse for the shelter supplies which can be expected at <br />any time. They will be distributed from there to the approved <br />shelters as soon as practical. <br />All necessary paper work for matching funds has been completed <br />with the exception of the oz~erational survival plan. <br />
