90 on the guard shacks that could be used for a warming house at the Hall Rink. There was discussion on the type of bathrooms that could be installed at the Baldwin Lake area and the need for a well there. There was also the problem of our one year at a time lease with the St. Paul Water Department. Mr. Marier thought we should have more security before we invest too much money in buildings at that location. There was discussion on the entrance to the property and the need for signs to advertise that the park is available for public use. There was also discussion on the need for a curfew and how this could be enforced. The Clerk was asked to check and find out when the lease is up for renewal. Mr. Marier moved to have the Park`Board meet with Mr. Hamblin before we get a cost figure for the building to discuss the lease. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. CArried. Mr. Cardinal reported to Mr. Jaworski that the jack was no longer available. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he had several requests for signs along Sunrise near the Park area cautioning people of the need to watch out for children in that area, also along Highway 8 near the Lino Park. The Council asked that Mr. Backlin check into the type of signs available and the cost. There is also the possibility that we may have some signs in the building. Mr. Backlin was asked to check on this also. Mr. Backlin said he also had a request for a 4 way stop sign at the intersection of Sunrise and Glenview. There was discussion on this corner with the suggestion of a "Caution, Blind Corner" but not a stop sign. Mr. Jaworski will check this intersection and report back to the Council. Mr. Jaworski reported that Mr. Backlin had checked with Forest Lake School District on the stand pipe and hoses needed with the tanker and the complete unit was available for $88.00. Mr. Bohjanen reported that Mr. Backlin had called him before the meeting to tell him that Mr. Gotwald was working on the valves and switches needed to utilize the lift station. 1 Mr. Marier said that he had some questions from taxpayers concerning the tanker. He had been asked if the Village would pump sewage from private systems since it is their money that paid for the truck and trailer. Mr. Jaworski answered that we are pumping a municipal system not private systems. Mr. Locher said that even though the monies used to pay for this rig came from the general fund that in the future this system will be self supporting ans this amount will be put back in the general fund. Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission will be meeting some time this week to start interviews for the Part Time Policeman's position. Mr. Bohjanen and Mr. Myhre have gone through the app;ications and broke them down into catagories for the Commission to take a look at. Also, there is a need for a second man to cover the overlapping time necessary to take care of the well and see to the pumping. Mr. Zelinka stated that the commission could start looking for a second man by direction of the Council. It was suggested that the Commission interview the men we already have applications from. Mr. Marier asked if the hiring of a second man would cut back on the payroll? Mr. Zelinka III said that this was his understanding. With more full time help the necessity of part time help would be cut way back. Mr. Marier suggested naming the people who would be cut from the payroll. Mr. Jaworski thought is was too soon to start naming names. We should have more solid plans. Mr. Jaworski also thought with two full time men, there would be very little need for any part time help.
