236 <br />May 29, 1984 <br />Mr. Marier reported that he h.ad attended this meeting and felt this was <br />a very productive meeting and that all parties are in agreement. There <br />is still some research being ddne on a device to s: bate the noise on the <br />forklifts. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Mayor Benson noted the letter received from the City Assessor on <br />some questions that had been asked at the Board of Reivew. This letter <br />is a copy of a letter she had forwarded to Mr. Nadeau. Mr. Reinert <br />felt the questions had been answered. <br />Mayor Benson reported that he had requested the Assessor to put together <br />a report as to how she plans to cover the City over the next four years. <br />He asked the Clerk to remind her of this report. <br />Mr. Bohjanen asked what happened with the cigarette license and Mr. <br />Hawkins said it had been picked up. <br />1 <br />Mayor Benson noted that at the last Council meeting the matter of the <br />precincts had been discussed. He requested this matter be brought up for <br />discussion for his informaiton. <br />Mr. Rienert moved to put this matter back on the table for discussion. <br />Seconded by Mr.K aaszewiczMOtilxn carried with Mr. Marier and Mr. Bohjanen <br />voting, NO. <br />Mr. Reinert stated his position on this matter noting that he has been <br />told of the extremely long lines of people waiting to vote. <br />He felt that precincts would eliminate this problem. <br />Mr. Bohjanen stated his objections to precincts - he felt that the <br />establishing of precincts leads to a ward system He did not feel this <br />City is ready for a precinct split at this time. <br />The matter of wards vs precincts was discussed and Mayor Benson asked <br />Mr. Bohjanen if he would feel more comfortable if he knew precincts do <br />not lead to wards and Mr. Bohjanen said, Yes. <br />Mr. Marier was concerned with the cost of training additional Judges <br />if there was two precincts. He felt the additional booths should cut <br />down on the voting time. He felt the City has the facilities and these <br />should bused. He also felt the division of this City is not set up to <br />serve the people in the most efficient manner. <br />Mr. Kulaszewicz felt along the same lines as Mr. Reinert and felt there <br />is no reason for this City not to go to the precinct system. <br />Mayor Benson felt that if this is not done at this time, it will be <br />necessary in the near future. It may beocme necessary to split into <br />three precincts. Mayor Benson asked the Clerk how the residents will <br />be notified of this change. <br />The Clerk noted that the City would conduct a bulk mailing where a <br />letter along with a marked map would be sent to every house in the <br />City. This would inform the residents as to their voting place. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
