tb 0 JULY 14, 1975 that it had been, as an emergency. Mr. Marier reminded the Council that no one member has the authority to approve the bill of over $500.00. This must be done by the Council action. Mr. Zelinka agreed but felt A phone call to each Councilman would serve the purpose. Mr. Marier questioned the financial position of the City. He asked the Clerk to get the bookkeeping records. He checked the postings in the secondary book and felt that since the posting for June had not been entered, the Clerk should prepare a complete financial: report. Mr. Zelinka moved that this report be mailed each time with the agendas in order to give the Council time to study the report. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. McLean asked how much had been issued under warrant checks. The Clerk said approximately $20,000.00. The Auditors' office had informed the Clerk that the tax levy would amount to $47,906.78 for the first half. This is about two - thirds of the amount levied. If this trend continues, then the City will receive approximately two- thirds of the amount levied this year. Mr. Marier asked if the monies approved for the road work would be available. The Clerk said she didn't know. After some discussion on the requisitions, Mr. Marier moved to approve No.'s 583 and 584, and to hold the remainder. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. A lady from the audience asked the purpose of the poles areound the Hall Park and was told it was to designate the parking area for the cars. The lady felt that if that was the purpose then a sign should have been posted to tell the people from Scandia, Wyoming and other outside areas where they could park. This would have made the parking on Main Street unnecessary and thus the trouble could have been avoided. Mr. Marier said it was possible an over sight that a sign telling the people that the purpose of the poles was to designate a parking area, but he felt that the poles were self explainatory. He felt that people should conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. If an apology is due, then the City should apologize. Mr. Jerry Hanson was upset because poles had been placed in the center of the Park area thus blocking cars from parking by the ball diamond to the West. He asked that they be moved. The Council said that the purpose of the poles was to bar all cars from the Park area and the poles will not be removed. The lady asked if it would be illegal for them to post a sign telling people where to park. Mr. Marier felt that if the Association felt it was necessary for the people to be told where to park then he! °would move to allow one parking sign to be posted. He so moved and Mr. McLean seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve payroll checks No. 3030 through and including No. 3048. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Marier moved to approve checks NO. 6472 through and including NO. 6478. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Marier moved to adjourn at 10:40 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski.
