9/27/71 95 After receiving agreeable comments on this from the Attorney and the Fiscal Agent, Mr. Cardinal moved, on the recommendation of the Engineer and the Attorney that the Council authorize the starting of the construction prior to the sale of the bonds, if approached by the contractor or subcontractor, and that the Clerk would then write a letter to the contractor, to be drafted by the Attorney, which would state that he was doing so by his own risk. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Denny Houle asked about who accepts the work on the job. There was discussion on this with Mr. Gotwald stating that he makes all inspections. The hearing was closed at 10 :0$ P.M. Mr. Rosengren stated that Schifsky will do the surfacing on Rolling Hills Drive and Linda & Lauren as soon as weather permits. They have been examining the drainage problems in the Lakeview area. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize hiring the Columbus grader to dig the drainage between Lakeview Avenue and our lot on Sunset Avenue. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren commented on the drainage correction in Sunrise Park which must be made if the new hockey rink is to go where planned, and on a problem near Grosvenor's place. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Roads Dept. to make the suggested drainage corrections. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren had prices on 2 used gas pumps in the amounts of $175 and $225, as well as prices on 2 used printing gas pumps in the amounts of $365 and $475. Denny Houle noted that gas can be taken out of the ticket - printing pumps without the tickets. Roy Backlin mentioned that a switch for the pump was inside the garage and would be turned off after the pump was used. Mr. Rosengren also had prices on gas tanks as follows: a used 4000 gallon tank for $200 and a new 2000 gallon tank for $344.70; also e 1000 gallon tank for $160. He stated that the cost of regular gas from the County was 14;i per gallon plus State tax which would make 21¢ per gallon against the 30i +we pay now. He asked whether the Council wished to get ethyl gasoline for the police car or regular gas and have the police buy theirs elsewhere, noting that the County cost of ethyl was only 1 -2 more per gallon. It was decided to discuss this later. Mr. Rosengren stated that he felt we could install the tank and pumps ourselves; very little piping is needed since the pump will be located directly over the tank. Mr. Rosengren moved to buy the new 2000 gallon tank from Brown Steel for $344.70 and a used pump for maximum of $200. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The Village truck will haul the tank.

The Clerk stated that she had tried to reach Mrs. Wilhelmy by phone with no success, and had written a letter on Sept. 22nd, to which she had not received a reply. Mr. Gotwald stated that he had talked to the surveyor some time ago, and that it was his opinion that the Village was in the right. An application for the installation of individual sewage systems, along with a bond and insurance certificate, from U.S. Lakes Development Co. was discussed. This is ostensibly for townhouse units and model homes which are to be rented to home buyers who cannot move into their homes until the sewer is finished. Mr. Rosengren moved to grant U.S. Lakes Development Co. a license for installing individual sewage systems, and to authorize them to install such systems for
