Mr. Cardinal was absent so there was no report from the Parks Department. Mr. Bohjanen asked of there was any consideration as to what sort of improvement could be put on the property at Baldwin Lake. Mr. Marier felt that with only a one year lease such as we have, that anything substantial was out of the question. He felt that we should contact the St. Paul Water Department as to the possiability of obtaining a 5 or 10 year lease on the property. The Clerk was instructed to write such a letter. The Council also felt that a recommendation as to the type of structure should come from the Park Board with an estimation to cost. Mr. Jaworski reported that the work on Pine Street was almost complete, that work had started on Peltier Lake Drive, and that Holly Drive has not been started as yet. Mr. Jaworski said that the lack of available men to work on these roads was slowing up the progress and suggested that the Manpower Overload in Anoka could be a source of emergency help. Mr. Marier moved that we contact Manpower Overload for men necessary to finish the work started, 2 possibily more. Mr. Zelinka seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski also reported that he had inspected 64th and it is full of holes. He felt that it is getting too late to seal coat now and that we should haul in Class 5 gravel, fill the holes, pack down and leave for the winter. This road is on the list to do next Spring. Mr. Gotwald asked if an overlay wasn't planned for that street and was told, Yes. He said overlay could be put down until late October, possibly early November. Mr. Gotwald explained that the problem on Ware Road was that it had been patched with a hard mix and with the resurfacing this creates a rough, bumpy surface. The road should be recapped with a soft road mix or a extra heavy seal coat. Mr. Marier reminded Mr. Jaworski that the weeds Vhou l d be cut before winter in order to cut down on the drifting. Mr. Jaworski said he had plans for getting the weeds cut.
