September lo, 1973 change. This is a complete gravity flow system and seems to be one favored by the MSB. Mr. Gotwald had taken a look at the roads and they looked very good to him. Mr. Locher read a letter from the Minnesota Pipeline Co. assuring the Village that the ball diamond fence and playing field would be restored to our satisfaction when the work is completed on the pipeline. He could not get the 66' easement reduced. The company maintains they need that much area. Mr. Locher said there should be two resolution passed tonight. One to allow the crossing of Village streets throughout the Village. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. The Council had consulted the maps as to where this line would cross Village streets. The pipeline crosses Pine Street and possibly 24th Ave. , There was some question on whether it would cross East Rondeau Lake Drive. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to execute the agreement. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski, Motion carried. Mr. Locher had also received a copy of the Metro Council's answer to the suit on the SAC. He also reported on action taken by the Humane Society and the Village against the Birchwood Hills Stables. A'search warrant had been obtained and was served by a Deputy Sheriff. They found three Black & White Holstein calves in a very dehydrated condition. The animals were impounded and taken to the U of M. Samples of the feed was also taken. Mr. Locher seemed to think this would help clear up the situation at that location. Mr. Jaworski brought up the subject of the Flag flying for 24 hours per day. The one up now is beginning to fray. Mr. Bohjanen said the VFW has a new one ready to be put up, and they will continue to replace the Flag whenever necessary. Mr. Jaworski wondered if the vote taken authorizing the flying of the Flag for 24 hours was a legal vote. There were only four members pre- sent at that Council meeting with two voting for, one against, one abstaining. A majority of the quorum present is necessary to pass a motion. Mr. Jaworski said that he will not vote on this issue again. Whether the Flag flies 24 hours a day or only during office hours is up to the Council. Mr. Bohjanen s a i d the Flag w i l l be rep I ace as often as necessary by the VFW and since the flagpole and the Flag are gifts to the Village, he felt that the Council should yeild to the wishes of the people who made the gifts. Mr. Bohjanen moved #o fly the Flag for 24 hours a day. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Roll call vote; Mr. Cardinal, No; Mr. Jaworski, abstain; Mr. Zelinka, Yes; Mr. Bohjanen, Yes. Motion failed for lack of a majority.
