1 January 19, 1981 statement is for the replacement of 30 feet of curb and gutter that was ripped out when the service was restored. This invoice is for $390.00 from Milner Carley - contractor is Albertson. () ( F7 vti f There was discussion on this problem with Mr. Schumacher noting that MWCC is holding over $4000.00 of payment to the City because the City withheld the $1390.00 paid for the repair of the sewer service. Mr. Schumacher felt it would be cheaper for the City to pay these bills and get the money for the lift station. Mr. Locher reported that he has tried to reach the contractor, Northdale Construction, but has not been able to make contact as yet. He felt this matter should have been turned over to their insurance company. Mr. Locher said he did not feel that the City has a legal right to withhold the money from MWCC. Mr. Schumacher felt the con - fusion results from not knowing who Northdale was under contract to when the service was disconnected. Mr. Volk said he had a letter from Northdale saying, that if he did rip out that stub, he was told to do so. Mr.Locher asked for a copy of this letter. Mayor Gourley suggested that this matter be cleared with MWCC - the Clerk is to mail a check for $1390.00 to the MWCC to be recorded as SAC. This is to be paid by sep- erate check. On the matter of the $390.00 for the replacement of the curbs and gutters, Mr. Locher asked who hired the contractor, Mr. Meister felt.the instructions came from the Council - this was to get Totem Trail repaired - and the curbs and gutters were part of the re- pairs. The Council authorized the Mayor to sign the check for this work upon the advise of Mr. Locher. Mr. Locher said the only matter he had, that had not been discussed already, was the matter of Mr. Crouse who wants to split one - five acre parcel and one - two and one - half parcel to sell to existing property owners for the addition to their land. Mr. Locher said he had informed Mr. Crouse that he would need a variance because neither parcel has any frontage on a street. Mr.1 Schumacher said that Mr. Crouse, will be applying for two variances and he is scheduled to appear before the Planning and Zoning Board. The resignation of Paul Borovansky was discussed. Mr. Locher said he was concerned about the manner in which the implication of some agreement had been worked out. Mr. McLean asked if Paul Borovansky was laid off and Mr. Schumacher said he was not laid off. Mr. Volk informed the Council of Mr. Borovansky's working schedule. Mr. Volk said that Mr. Borovansky had not been laid off, he usually works full time in the summer months, 20 to'-24 hour week during flooding of the rinks and after that`is over, Mr. Borovansky is laid off for about 2 months. Mr., McLean felt that Mr. Borovansky had just resigned and he has the same status of any- one else applying for the position. Mr. McLean could respond by accepting just his resignation. Mr. Volk said Mr. Borovansky had called to say that he was resigning and that he would
