Proposed 1984 Winter Damage Repair Program Mr. Volk presented his report on the winter damage to City streets and his estimate for repairs. He noted this estimate of $18,183.00 is not in the budget.

Mayor Benson requested the Public Works Director to report back to the Council within the next three months his recommendations for road speci- fications in areas with high water tables. Mayor Benson requested Mr. Volk to give a report on the City vehicles at the next Council meeting. ATTORNEY'S REPORT IIMr. Hawkins did not have a report. REPORT ON MARDON DRAINAGE DITCH Mr. Volk had talked to Mrs. Maas regarding water in a drainage ditch in her back yard and the nearby holding pond. She had requested the pond be fenced to make the area safer for children. Mr. Volk had told Mrs. Maas he would report to the Council and asked for Council direction. It was the opinion of the Council that a fence could cause more problems than it would solve. REVIEW OF YEAR TO DATE FINANCIAL REPORT Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the review is a general summary review and outlined each fund in the report for the Council. The year is progressing nearly as planned for the General Fund. The Utility Fund is not in good shape but is better than had been anticipated. He noted that one of the assessment funds was delinquent and this is due primarily to one developer. There was discussion on how these assess- ments could be collected. Mr. Schumacher said the Council did not require a developers agreement on this project so all that can be done is collect the assessments with the property taxes. This may be some time in the future. I Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to continue the meeting until 10:30 P.M. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
