5/10/71 noted that in looking over this report that our department's monthly reports far outweigh anything the neighboring departments do and some of them have a full - time man. He mentioned that he had testified in both the House and the Senate on our claim for time at the Youth Center and there had been no objections; we should be getting the money soon. Mr. L'Allier added that Mary Myhre had been working about 60 hours per week so that we actually had full -time police activity. He noted also that the police don't get paid enough for the time they spend. Mr. L'Allier mentioned also that he had visited with Mary at the last two police meetings on some recommendations for improving our police protection which they hope to have ready within 60 days for the Council to look at. Mr. L'Allier commented on the letter,recently received from Bob Burman concerning the County's policy on assistance on swimming beaches, noting that we must have a full -time life guard in order to qualify. He asked Mr. Jaworski to check on this. Mr. Myhre asked if we could send,a letter to the County to get the Centerville Park situation straightened out. He stated that the landing needs gravel (he had requested this for two years) because there is now a two foot dropoff. The guard posts along the roads have been busted off for three years; they need signs to show where to park the cars and signs along the road indicating that there can be parking on one side of the road only. Mr. L'Allier appointed Mr. Jaworski to inspect the park with Mr. Myhre and then to have the Clerk write such a letter. Mr. Myhre noted also that the entrance signs were confusing since one says "closed" and one below it says "open ". Mr. L'Allier stated that the Council had met'on,the burn ban and had requested the PCA to grant an extension of time to adopt their ordinances until January 1, 1972, when a review of the number of houses might show a larger area of the Village which would qualify under,the ordinance - -only one section does now. He read from the letter which had been sent. Mr. Locher reported on the sewer applications, stating that they were all in order assuming that the bond for Morris Carlson is renewed in August. The limits of the insurance policies all exceed our requirements and all contain a ten day notifica- tion clause. Mr. Cardinal moved to accept the four applications and to grant them sewer licenses. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously., Mr. Locher noted that two policy amount changes had been made on the floater policy,,both.,were reductions allowing some $70 credit. Mr. Locher noted that the items listed on the inventory depreciate but-that we must insure them for their replacement costs. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept the two changes in the floater policy from Mr. Ray. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher noted also that a certificate of insurance had been received from Donovan Con- struction Company. , Mr. Locher stated that he had forgotten to bring the draft of Ord. 43A on employees with him as well as the data on the extension of Eva Street in Nordin Manor. These will,be put on the agenda for next time. He will send copies of both to the Council. The zoning code classification was discussed. Mr. Cardinal stated that he would like some clarification on section 4.08 on page 9. There was considerable dis- cussion on the costs of publishing and printing the lengthy code. Some costs had been obtained but were hard to compare since the size of the newspapers differ, etc.
