The number needed will be three from each party for each shift. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve the list. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka suggested to the Clerk if any problems arise with the DFL list, she should contact Mrs. Juleen. Mayor Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher if he was correct in stating that absentee ballots could be picked up at the City Hall? Mr. Locher said, Yes. Mayor Bohjanen asked when the ballots would be ready? Mr. Locher said that he had proof -read them today and that they should be ready by Friday. He said the ballots could be picked up at the Hall and either left with the Clerk for delivery on Election Day or they could be mailed and the post man would deliver them on Election Day. Mr. Jaworski reported on the road work. Due to the cost the planned Seal coating on Ware Road would have to be dropped for this year. Mr. Jaworski felt that the surface of that road was in good condition and could wait another year. Work on 64th Street and Rolling Hills Drive should begin next week. So far $30,230.00 of the allocated $38,000.00 has been spent. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Gotwald if he felt that Ware Road could be held for another year? Mr. Gotwald said, Yes and the possibility of sewer installation in that area could cause some damage to the street. Mr. McLean reported that the Park Board had a Special Meeting on September 29, 1975 that dealt basically with the budget. There is another meeting scheduled for October 20, 1975 and they will finish at that time. Mr. McLean reported on the note from Mr. Volk dealing with the wells. All Council Members have a copy of this report, does the submission answer their questions? Mr. Jaworski asked if a larger pump would work since there is 25' of static water in the well? Mr. McLean said that had been tried at the Hall well and had only pumped the well dry. Mr. Zelinka suggested driving the wells deeper. Mc. McLean said this had not been recommended because of the possible damage to the casings. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Gotwald his opinion and Mr. Gotwald agreed. Mr. Gotwald said one factor was missing from this report. Mr. Volk should have included the draw down water level. Mr. Zelinka suggested pulling the present wells and driving them deeper. The fact that these two wells serve an area adequately at the present and are only deficient in flooding hockey rinks, it was suggested that the present wells remain and the new wells be located in a different area. Mr. Gotwald cautioned the consideration of well at the Hall Property should be in relation to the plans for the park property. Mr. Zelinka moved to ask for bids for two wells complete (this is to include the pump, 10" screen, electric hook -up, all casings, tanks, etc.) Mr. McLean asked that Mr. Gotwald provide the specs and that the low bid be accepted on each well, not as a two well bid. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Bids are to be opened at the first regular meeting in
