64 <br />to discuss this matter. <br />January 23, 1978 <br />The Planning and Zoning had discussed the use of trailers for office space at <br />different locations throughout the City. It was felt taht some control should be <br />set forth on these units. Also, the placing of a pole building on lands without a <br />primary building. These matters will be studied. <br />Members of the Planning and Zoning Board has questioned the use of thier homes as <br />an office for the materials received in conjunction with their duties as members of <br />this Board - is there a possibility of declaring this on their income tax forms? <br />Mr. Locher said, NO, the IRS has very strict regulations governing this type of use <br />and unless the room is used exclusively for that purpose, Mr. Locher said they will <br />not allow deductions. He will check further on this matter. <br />Mr. McLean said he had not recevied a response from Mr. Mobley as yet on the various <br />proposals he will be presenting for Council consideration. <br />The Clerk had done a quick telephone survey on Council expenses in other Cities. <br />The current allowanoe was set in 1970 and some increase should be considered.The <br />Clerk was instructed to call several other communities and the League of Cities and <br />put this matter on the February 13, 1978 agenda. <br />Mr. McLean presented a formula for money in lieu of land for Park purposes which <br />would consider $150.00 per lot with 75' frontage - $300.00 for a lot with 150': <br />He presented his thinking on this matter and asked the Council to think anout it. <br />Mr. Schneider asked if this would be reviewed yearly and Mr. McLean said, Yes. There <br />was discussion as to when this money should be collected - at the time of platting - <br />when the building permits are issued - each home should pay a like amount, in or <br />out of a plat; pros and cons of both sides were discussed with the Council decision <br />that this must be resolved within the next month. <br />Mr. Schneider noted there is a special Park Board meeting on February 6, 1978. This <br />matter will be discussed at that meeting. <br />Mr. Schneider also noted that a public hearing must be held on the uses of the <br />Federal Revenue Sharing Funds before the final adoption of the budget. Mr. Schneider <br />said he had contacted the Auditors and there are several items that msut be cleared. <br />One is the disposition of the $50,000.00 received from Drovers State Bank. This <br />msut be designated in oreder to complete the audit. <br />Also, on the matter of the sale of the lift station, the City cannot receive cash <br />but will receive credit. The Auditors had also questioned the assessment procedures <br />on the LaMotte sewer project. It was felt the estimated cost for the street could <br />run about $8,000.00 less than the amount assessed. Mr. Schneider questioned Mr. <br />Cotwald on the manner in which this was done. <br />Mr. Gotwald said the assessment roll had been prepared on the estimated basis in <br />order to save one year's interest. Also, each assessment has a built in contingency <br />fund of 5%. This would account for the $8,000.00! <br />The current rates for the utilities must be studied for a possible raise and the <br />Debt #2 assessments should be totaled. <br />Mr. Schneider reported that he has been meeting with the Advisory Board at the MMTC <br />on a regular basis. Chief Myhre and Mr. Bohjanen are also members of that Board. <br />This Board has had an input on the budget, the building of the prison and many other <br />facets of the operation. Mr. Schneider said they will be conducting a fund raising <br />program and will be holding an open house. <br />
