There was discussion on these pieces of equipment with Mr. Cardinal moving to table the matter. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Gotwald had no report. He told the Council that they will open and tabulate the bids on the road work and have a report for the next Council meeting. Under old business, the matter of the set back l i ne requirements in the Zoning Ord. #56 was discussed. Mr. Locher saying that an amendment is necessary to change the Ordinance. He suggested thilt if there is more that one change to be made, that they all be made at the same time, thus saving on publication costs. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the P &Z to study this matter and present suggested changes to the Council. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski had talked to Mr. Backlin on the matter of the stumps on Sunrise and Peltier that must be removed and the dirt removal and grad- ing to be done in these areas and they suggested letting bids for the work to all be done by the same party. Mr. Gotwald suggested Welsh Tree Service and had several others in mind. These men can take a look at the work to be done and give a pretty close estimate as to the amount of dirt to be removed and the cost in- volved. Mr. Jaworski moved to have the Engineer get bids on this project. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried. Under new Businees, Mr. Backlin reported that he had a problem with frozen culverts. It had been impossible to get the County out until just today. Last Friday he had a man out to demonstrate a steam cleaner. Mr. Backlin felt that the Village should own a steamer for use on the culverts and could be used to clean the road equipment as well. The one demonstrated cost over $600.00. The Council asked that he check into a couple more for price comparisons. Mr. Locher had looked over the information on a Wastwater Institute being held and said the application enclosed should be filled out by Mr. Backlin. Mr. Gotwald said he had some information on this and will get together with Mr. Backlin about being phased in under the grand- father clause. Mr. Cardinal said the property on the curve cn Birch street owned by Mrs. Klang is turning into a junk yard and he suggested having the Police investigate. Mr. Zelinka said the Bruder property on Lake Drive also has some old cars and truck standing in the front yard that look as if they haven't been moved for months. Mr. Locher reported on the history of this operation and the steps taken by the Village to clean it up. The Council asked that he look into it again to see if there is something more that can be done.
