1 1 1 December 10, 1973 Mayor Bohjanen also reminded the Council Members of the meeting with NSSSB on Dec. 27, 1973 and the meeting with the Metro Council on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan scheduled for Dec. 12, 1973. Mr. Cardinal presented some figures he had on tractors. A 52hp gas - $6200.00; 62hp diesel $8000.00; A 4 wheel drive International loader with 11 cu. yd. - $20,790.00. "Cat loader - 4 wheel drive, 111cu. yd. bucket - $26,000 to $27,000. Mr. Backlin has figures on another tractor but he had not yet arrived. Mr. Cardinal asked Mr. Resch if he had a list of names for the supervision of the warming house to be set up at the Village Hall. Mr. Resch said he has 44 volunteers for supervision, with 5 alternates. Some have hour preference so Mr. Resch will set up the schedule and give it to the Clerk. Mr. Cardinal asked the Clerk to have Mr. Backlin to get the unit here and set up and to start the flooding on the rink. Mr. Marier asked if the Clerk had any response to the letters that were written in accordance with the instructions she received at the last Council meeting. She had no response from Mr. Robinson, the letter to Mr. Tobish was returned, marked "no forwarding address" and Able Systems had been red tagged. They had also been in the office just this afternoon and will appear at the P &Z meeting on Dec. 19, 1973. Mr. Marier wondered if the red tag was being honored. He asked that Mr. Costa, who will be on duty Tuesday afternoon, check on this situation and see that the red tag is honored. Mr. Locher returned and the subject of the Flood Plan Insurance was discussed. Mr. Locher said he had contacted the State on this and in view of the Open Space Program, it was felt that this might become an unnecessary thing since most of the area that could be included in this plan would be located within the Open Space. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that the P &Z take a look at this in connection with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mr. Locher said the cost of the study is paid for by HUD, but the cost of im- plementing the program would be to the Village. Mr. Marier moved to have Mr. Locher write a letter informing them that we feel that the areas that are questionable are under the jurisdiction of the Rice Creek Water Shed Board. The other areas are in the Open Space Program. Any other problems would come under seepage and this is not covered under this plan. We also feel that this would not occur in the future due to our Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the requiring of Perc Tests. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher reported on the Leo Bruder case. He had been in court on Dec. 5, 1973 and Mr. Bruder had been sentenced to 60 days in jail, however, he had been re- leased under the Huber Law. The Judge had requested Mr. Locher to research the possibility of his ordering the property cleaned up. Mr. Locher had presented a 312 page memo to the Judge and he will have an answer on the 12th. Mr. locher had also talked to the man to whom Mr. Bruder had sold out to and he said he would cooperate in any way that he could. There had been some removal of batteries, bikes and old tires. 227
