Mr. Locher had checked our Ordinances dealing with outside bathrooms and found nothing prohibiting them, but suggested that we install chemical bathrooms at the Baldwin Lake Site. Mr. Locher had a call from the Clerk concerning the installation of the plumbing at the Freeway Farms by non - licensed personnel. The plumbing inspector had red tagged the work. The work had been started without a plumbing permit. Mr. Locher had checked with the State Plumbing Inspector and as long as our population is under 5000, plumbers do not have to have a state license. But when our population hits 5000, then this State Law automatically prevails. The Freeway Farms have obtained a plumbing permit and paid a double fee. Mr. Locher said we would have to draft an Ordinance requiring the plumbers to be State Licensed. The concensus of the Council was that as long as the work has to pass inspection and the law becomes effective automatically when our population grow, then to leave things as they are now. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the signature of Mayor Bohjanen as Mayor, Richard Zelinka, as Acting Mayor and Edna Sarner as Clerk Treasurer on all Village Check. Checks to require only two of the signatures. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried.
