July 8, 1974 After discussion it was agreed to include this paragraph in the contact. "Maintenance" shall only be deemed to be such work which is authorized by a prior written work order signed in behalf of the parties hereto, but shall not include snowplowing, it being agreed that the City has and shall continue to provide snowplowing at no cost to U.S. Lakes nor shall such snowplowing be deemed, in anyway to be acceptance of such private roadway by the City as a City Street, Cartway or otherwise. Mr. Zelinka moved to accept the agreement to include maintance for a work order and zero dollars for snowplowing. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Motion carried. With Mr. Marier voting, No. The Agreement and Contract for Law Enforcement with Centerville was discussed. Mr. Jaworski stated that we should get the contract in force so that we can legally get paid and then if there are any changes after this in our Law Enforcement Depart- ment we will be able to negotiate the changes. Mr. Zelinka agreed. There was discussion on the per capita rate. It was the general consensus that cost per capita has gone up. Mr. Marier moved to accept this contract at the present rate and inform Centerville that termaination of the contract will be August 1, 1974. At which time cost per capita will be refigured. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Reported that there are 3 signs in violation of our Ordinance No. 51. They are Allan Robinson, William Hemauer, The Francis Drake Hotel. Mr. Locher read the Ordinance Sec. Z and suggested to send letters to sign owners and the property owners. Then if there is no comply remove the signs, Mr. Marier moved to take action to remove these signs. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. There was an application from Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to place buried telephone cable in Rondeau Lake Drive west from Main Street north to Columbus Township line. Mr. Gotwald stated that to his knowledge the application was in order. Mr. Jaworski presented the cost of $150,000.00 for roads that were primed and sealed in 1973. An additional $82,000.00 for patching, sealing and resurfacing of 4th Ave., Hanson Rd., 24th Ave. North and Ware Rd. It is approximately 3 times the cost of seal coat. Mr. Gotwald suggested to Rd. Mix the streets that we feel need it. Then seal some of the roads that were road mixed last year. The cost for the entire program would be $115,000.00 He also suggested to take the first mile and keep a very detailed record of all material and cost. After that you will know what the actual cost for the first square yard basis or mile basis. Based on that you can tell exactly how much could be done this year. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Marier reported that he went to a meeting at the Metropolitan Council for the Immediate Action Grant Program for Regional Parks.
