242 January 28, 1974 Mr. Marier felt that the County should inform the people in writing stating what parcels they are condemning and giving the total description. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if, when surveying 21 acres, is the road easement included in the acreage? Mr Locher will check on this. Mr. Marier proceeded with the report from the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The new Chairman of the Board is Mr. Edward Karth and the Vice - Chairman is Mr. James Shearen. Mr. Marier also extended the "Thanks" and the appreciation of a job well don to Mr. John McLean for his service as Chairman of the P &Z for the past years. Mr. Marier reported that Mr. Al Robinson had applied for a special use permit for one year. This would allow him to sell and service snowmobiles in the building now erected for use in connection with his sod fields. The Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the special use permit for one year providing he passed a perc test and obtained a building permit for the building already erected. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Robinson had applied for a sign permit for the sign at his establishment. Mr. Marier moved to grant sign permit #132. The old sign is either to be removed or present sign permit renewed before the new sign permit is issued. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Locher reported that generally easements are included in the property descriptions. If for some reason, the use of the easement is discontinued the person who owned the land abutting the easement would assume ownership of the land. Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission had met Saturday, Jan. 26, 1974 in the morning in order to interview prospective daytime police applicants. There had been three members present. They had narrowed the field of applicants down to 5 and three of these had been present. The Personnel Commission had recommended the hiring of David Armstrong and Clifford Ross Jr. as part time Patrolmen to work the say time hours. These men would be hired as uncertified Patrolmen since neither have completed their First Aid courses. Mr. Zelinka moved to hire both men thus covering the City from 7:00 A.M. through the late evening hours. Mr. Marier asked if these men had been questioned as to their intent pertaining to the length of employment. He felt that we had far too many turnovers in the last few years. Mr. Zelinka said that this had been discussed. Both men had expressed no intent or remaining just a short while. Mr. Ross had been employed by this department before and his reason for leaving at that time was a change of hours at his reg- ular employment and the City had not requested daytime coverage at that time. Mr. Armstrong is going to school in the evenings, majoring in law inforcement. Both would ultimately like to work into a full time position. Mr. Zelinka felt that both men were stable and dependable. Mr. McLean seconded the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission approved holding meetings when necessary rather than have a monthly meeting with nothing to discuss.
