<br />recommend him, but would like to talk to the Mayor first, After looking over the
<br />applications and discussion, Mr, Cardinal moved that Mayor L'Allier and Mr. Myhre
<br />get together and interview the applicants separately at their convenience. Seconded
<br />by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously.
<br />Mr, Cardinal - stated that he had checked for a fire warden on the East side of the
<br />,Village and had found that Bill Eliingsen will accept the job. Mr, Ellingsen
<br />had suggested that copies of the burning schedules be made up to hand out. qIv'.
<br />Cardinal moved to make 50 copies of the burning schedule to start with. Seconded
<br />by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously, Mr, Rosengren noted that Mr. Ellingsen
<br />will have to be certified by the State.
<br />Mr, Cardinal stated that the special joint meeting on the wetlands ordinance had
<br />been cancelled; also, that he had the safe delivered and placed in the garage;
<br />if there were any objections to it,he would haul it away.
<br />Mr. Cardinal reported that he had attended the Rice Creek Watershed meeting on
<br />the 10th from 10 :30 A,M, to 6 >?.M, and had testified in favor of the watershed.
<br />The decision is now up to the Water Reserve Board which would have an answer in
<br />60 to 90 days, If the.Watershed is approvedpa Board of Managers would he
<br />appointed which would probably have 5 members. Of the 4 counties involved, 3 had
<br />signed a petition for the Watershed; Mr. Bohjanen noted that the 4th county,had
<br />very little land involved, Mr. Cardinal mentioned that of all the people testifying
<br />in favor from this area, most had been residents fox only a few years.
<br />Mr, Gotwald noted that the St, Paul Water Department had expressed some concern
<br />that a Board of Managers would have the powers of eminent domain and taxation;
<br />they want nothing which would disturb the water basin. Mr. Gotwald predicted that
<br />the Watershed won't happen rapidly with 34 communities concerned, noting that
<br />most of the petitioning communities were downstream. He explained some of the
<br />procedures for improvements and assessments which the Watershed would involve,
<br />In answer to Mr. Jaworski's question, Mr, Gotwald stated that it was a legal
<br />question as to who would have the greater power, the Board of Managerrs or the
<br />Metro Council. Mr,.Bohjanen noted that the Metro Council had superseded the
<br />Coon Greek Watershed, Mr. Gotwald stated that this was so, that they had battled
<br />back and.forth for some time; this would depend on the situation.
<br />Mr. Jaworski had no report. Mr. Rosengren reported that they were working on the
<br />roads, and that he had an estimate on--the parli.ng lot. Members went outside to
<br />survey the markers and hear Mr. Gotwald's proposal. The road on the South would
<br />have a 22 foot surface, while the rear entrance would be 30 feet. The parking
<br />area would be 60 by 60 feet. Mr. Gotwald felt that this would leave room for
<br />parking in two rows with driving room between; also, the lot could be expanded
<br />some 40 feet to the East when necessary, Mr. Gotwald suggested that instead of
<br />blacktopping the drive and parking lot this year, which would cost over $3,000,
<br />that the Council seal a good base out of the Building Fund and blacktop it next
<br />year out of the Roads and Bridges Fund. There was discussion. Mr. Gotwald noted
<br />that the Schifsky bid was on a per gallon basis, Mr. Locher stated that another
<br />bid would be needed,
<br />Mr.,Rosengren stated that he had ordered 200 feet of 2 inch plastic pipe to fill
<br />the pond, but needed a trencher to digit in. Mr, Cardinal moved to authorize Mr.
<br />Rosengren to order the pipe at $78 per 1001feet, and to have it dug in, Seconded
<br />by Mr, Bohjanen. Carried unanimously, Mr. Rosengren will check with Donovan
<br />Construction and Girdle Pines Utilities on use of a trencher,
<br />Mr, Backlin stated that they had finished hauling on 4th Avenue today. He asked
