Mr. Gotwald had no further report. Mr. Locher <br />reported on a questions of building on the East /West portion of Baldwin <br />Lake Road. The party interested in this is on the agenda for the Planning <br />and Zoning Board meeting to be held this Wednesday and will be discussed <br />at that time. Mr. Locher had brought copies of an Ordinance covering <br />establishments selling beer. This will be considered at the next Council <br />meeting. <br />Mr. Locher had looked at the application for a liquor license by Mr. Pomerleau <br />for the Blue Heron. The insurance binder does not have the word 'written' <br />in the cancellation clause and the bond is not available.

Motion carried. <br />Mayor Bohjanen said that the area around the Oasis Should be secured. The <br />Fire Marshall should be contacted on this and a tag should be issued if <br />the ordinance is not complied with. <br />There was no old business.

Motion carried. <br />Mr. McLean asked for a proposal for paying the bills since the total amount <br />payable is about $17,000.00 more than is in the checking account at this time. <br />Mr. McLean asked at what point in time would the expenditures and receipts <br />be even? <br />Mayor Bohjanen said when the first tax draw is received in July, the books <br />should balance and the City should have a working capital at that time. <br />Mr. Marier asked the Clerk for recommendations to meet this deficit and <br />she said one way is to issue warrant chekcs. This would then have to be <br />covered by the monies received in July. <br />Mr. Marier said even if the books balance in July, what happens <br />from July to December? Spending must be cut some place. <br />Mayor Bohjanen asked the Council for ideas on just where they would <br />recommend spending be cut. <br />Mr. Marier asked if the departments were living within the budget and Mayor <br />Bohjanen felt that they were. <br />Mr. Marier asked how many dollars in warrants would be needed. The Clerk <br />felt that no more than $17,000.00 would be necessary. <br />After more discussion, Mr. McLean moved to authorize the issuance of warrant <br />checks not to exceed $17,000.00.
