Mr. Karth said then the only item not agreed upon was the Clerk's salary. Mr. Schneider said the City's offer was a result of a study of the Personnel Commission that puts that salary above the average for that position. The Other employees are below average and it was an attempt to equalize the salaries to all employees. After some discussion on this matter, Mr. McLean moved to accept this proposal as pre- sented. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher said he had talked with Mr. Kronholm in reference to the park land dedicat- ion in Lakes Additions #I, 2 and 3. He has also written to Mr. Meyer, Attorney for Mr. Kronholm, informing him of these requirements. The townhouse plat will be used in the overall computations for acreage. Mr. Locher said he had mentioned the area by the creek and Mr. Kronholm did not seem to have any problems with the suggestion. Mr. Locher will keep the Council informed on this matter. On the matter of Mr. Rehbein's problem, Mr. Locher felt this is not a Council involvement. There is a problem of the Escrow firm. He felt that Mr. Rehbein could sue the person. He also suggested the City could withhold the issuance of any further hook up permits unless the person shows evidence of payment into the escrow fund. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved to write a letter stating that no hook up per- mits will be issued until the resident pFesents evidence of payment to Mr. Rehbein. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher will compose this letter. Mr. Gotwald reported that he had sent all the material requested to Mr. Starr. He had also set a letter to the PCA and to Centerville requesting permission to hook into the Centerville interceptor. The Clerk had received a copy of the proposed Centerville interceptor. Mr. Gotwald had checked this p ,fnt and recommended approval. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald said he will open the bids on the LaMotte sewers at 11:00 A.M. on Friday, March 18, 1977. He will analyze the bids and have a report for the next Council meeting. Mr. Locher received Council authorization to attend the Physical Development hearing on March 17, 1977. Chief Myhre asked if the Council members had had a chance to review the specs he had presented for a new patrol car and most Council members had not. He felt that the ad- vertising for bids should be authorized now in order to get this car before the 1978 models go into production. There was discussion on the vehicle and what advantages there would be with this type rather than a sedan. Mr. Karth moved to submit the specs for bids to be opened at 12:00 Noon on April II, 1977 for inspection purposes. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carr- ied unanimously. Chief Myhre also recommended tha animal control be hired for one extra hour per week for the months of April, May and June.
