116 November 24, 1980 Mr. Pestello said that Mr. Seccombe will be acquiring all of the shares of Mitra, Inc Mr. Langer asked for a week to ten days to get the shares transferred. The new owners of the Corporation will need to be investigated. A special meeting was set for the transfer of this liquor license for Dec. 4, 1980 at 8:00 P.M. Mr. Jaworski asked why a meeting was set to consider the transfer of the license - the licensee is not going to change. There is no reason for this Council to hold a hearing for the transfer of the stock in a corporation. 1 Mayor Gourley said 99 shares of stocks will be transferred and a hearing must be held. Mr. Jaworski said this changes the status of the ownership but not the holder of the license - why the need to hold a public hearing? Mr. McLean moved to hold a hearing on the corporation in question to examine the new ownership of that corporation in relationship to City ordinances on Dec. 4, 1980 at 8:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to close this hearing. Seconded by Mr. Mclean. Motion carried unanimously. A recess was called at this point in time. The meeting was reconvened. Mr. Jaworski moved to adopt the Resolution setting the budget for 1981. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Mr. McLean asked for the numbers that make up these figures. Mr. Schumacher said each member will receive a complete break down of the budget. Motion carried unanimously. The final draft of the Liquor Ordinance was considered. There was several amend- ments to this Ordinance. Mayor Hourley moved to approve this Ordinance as amended at this meeting. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk will retype with the amendments and assign the next number to this ordinance and have published. 1 The next item on the agenda was Mr. Matzke to discuss the water problem on his pro- perty. The Clerk had contacted Mr. Ruud, County Engineer, who had informed her that all County Ditches are the responsibility of the RCWB. She had then contacted Mr. Andy Cardinal, Chairman of that Board, and he had suggested she write a letter enclos- ing a map showing the ditch in question. This had been done. Mr. Willenbring had called this date with the information that according to his copy of the County Ditch. AJso, the culvert that is creating problems, or at least one of the problems, is on 4th Avenue, that is a City Street, therefore, a City problem. Mr. Willenbring did note that his map is not the last authority on these ditches, it could be a County Ditch. He suggested that property owners check their abstract for assessments that could indicate this was put in by the County. He also said that RCWB will not expend public funds for correction of private drainage problems. He noted that, if this is a private ditch, and work is to be done by the residents, a permit must be obtained from RCWB. There was several alternative suggestions discussed with no decision. The Culvert on III 4th Avenue is to be checked and Mr. Matzke will check his abstract. Mr. Matzke is to be on the December 8, 1980 agenda. The next item was consideration of authorization to participate in the 1981 Shade Tree Program. Mayor Gourley moved to authorize this participation. Seconded by
