4 7/24/72 M4. LeTendxe stated that the specs had been received back from the State and Were okay.- There was some discussion, with it being noted that the State would inspect the facility before they could use it. Mr. Marier said that this would be adding a 35'x30 structure to the existing building which is in use, and that there will be a parking area in the rear for which Skyline is responsible for the blacktop. Mr. Marier moved we accept the plans for Skyline Auto Body's addition, as they comply with the State's and P &Z's regulations. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn the hearing at 8:42 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried Mr. Jaworski - questioned whether the previous agreement that Columbus would up- grade the west end of Pine St. was effective since we had agreed to do the maintenance on a 50 -50 basis. It was generally felt it was not as the newer agreement was the whole road would be maintained, widened, filled and 2 cul- verts put in, all on a 50 -50 basis. After discussion, the Clerk was directed to send a letter to Columbus saying that we would like to get in touch about the work to be done on the west end of Pine St. Mr. Jaworski plans to attend their next meeting to get things going. Mr. Jaworski felt, from Hugo's letter, that they are mixed up on the mainten- ance of 24th Avenue. It was then proposed that we go on a 50 -50 basis on the maintenance of the whole of 24th, with Lino Lakes doing the work, as several residents on the East side of 24th had indicated that they like our service and don't wantus to quit. A letter will be sent to Hugo indicating this proposal. Mr. Jaworski suggested some personal contact with them. Mr. Jaworski stated that we have a Chev pickup that is absolutely no good; the doors are falling off and can't be put back on; he felt we should take off the bed and tires and junk the rest. He proposed that we buy a 1963 Ford pickup truck which he had brought to the Hall tonight, for the price of $700, this to be used for hauling snowfence, Village equipment for flooding the rinks, trans- porting the men from -park to park and hauling the tractor and pulling trailers. Mr. Marier asked how many vehicles we have now. Mr. Jaworski said that we have 3 dump trucks and 2 pickup trucks. Mr. Marier noted that we had tried to sell one and then decided we could use it; we should have taken the $400 we were offered. Mr. Jaworski stated that the truck in the garage has a bad cylinder and won't go through the winter; the 1939 tanker is in deplorable condition with a bad front`:end and no brakes. Mr. Marier felt a short block could be put in the dump truck and the tanker could be fixed. Mr. Jaworski said he would come up with the cost figures for the next meeting on repair of the vehicles. Mr. Marier felt we shold try to convert the truck we didn't sell before spending $700 on another one. Mr. Jaworski moved to buy the1963 pickup truck for &700 from Grand Avenue Rord. Mr. Cardinal said he would second this if we can dump a couple of the other trucks. There was more discussion in which Mr. Marier noted that it was not economical to have 2 drivers for 5 trucks. Mr. Jaworski noted that the Hwy Dept. uses a dump truck to haul snowfence with three men on it. We have until the next meeting to take the Chev. Mr. Locher commented that we have to get 2 or more quotations since the amount is over $500. Vote on the motion. Aye - Jaworski and Cardinal; No Marier and Bohjanen. Failed. Mr. Jaworski will get another bid and cost information on the other trucks.
