1/10/72 Mr. Jaworski moved to accept the responsibilities as listed. Seconded by Mr. Marier, Carried unanimously. 157 Mr. Jaworski questioned the reason for not listing a planner in the appointments. Mr. Bohjanen said there was no reason why we shouldn't have one, but he felt that the Planner should report to the P&Z meeting on the 19th and discuss some of his plans and materials with them to see where we sit at this time, so we can take this up at a later date. He didn't see that the Planner had to be discussed at the first meeting of the year; he had planned to bring this up at a later date, Mr. Jaworski felt that this should be brought up and tabled. Mr. Bohjanen recommended that this be brought up at the P&Z meeting on Jan. 19th. Mr. Jaworski moved to table the matter of the Planner until the next Council meeting. Seconded by Mrs. Swanson. Carried unanimously. The Clerk reported that we had received a letter from Mr. Van Housen regarding the revised landscape plan for Chamonix South in which he stated that it was satisfactory and recommended the Council's approval of it. The plan was perused. Mr. Marier noted that it had been mentioned at the previous meeting that parking areas were to be designated. Mr. Gotwald felt that some parking area had been added. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to send back the prints and have U. S. Lakes Development Co. follow the suggestions of the P&Z Board and the Planner and so designate parking areas to be colored in red and so designated on the legend, this to be submitted in time for the next P&Z meeting on January 19. Seconded by Mrs. Swanson. Carried unanimously. The Clerk stated that a Metro Council staff proposal for an interium housing proposal had been received with copies sent to all members; a hearing on this proposal is to be held on January 20th. Mr. Cardinal had no report. Mr. Jaworski stated that he was still working on 2 bids for the warming house; he weld now turn the matter over to Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Marier felt we should make some decision on the Metro Sewer billing for 1972. The bill amounts to $4,190.14 per month. He noted that there are limits to what we can levy on our people, a 6% levy, which we approach in air budget. Mr. Marier moved we on the Council go down to the Metro Sewer Board and state our case to them to defer this bill until which time that the Metro Sewer Board is prepared to give us some assistance and some service. Mr. Jaworski felt we should find out first the results of other communities as far as getting their bills cut down. Mr. Gotwald stated that there is a provision in that law which stated that the Villages have the right to appeal this; he noted that several others have done'so. We can do this any time during the year of the assessment in the form of an appeal letter. We would have to authorize the Attorney to prepare the appeal and with this we could go down to the Metro Council. There was discussion. Mr. Gotwald will get copies of the prescribed form to Mr. Locher. Mr. Marier changed the motion to authorize the Attorney to prepare an appeal of the 1972 assessment by the Metro Sewer Board. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. (This paragraph should preceed above motion) Mr. Bohjanen noted that in the report the Metro Sewer Board was not being very clear on what they were going to give us. Mr. Gotwald agreed; they will start construction and have allocated for engineering costs, but they haven't done so yet. We turned down the bill last year because there was no actual flow; we have reserve capacity but no point of flow. But, they have sent a bill to us and to Centerville based on the fact that they will have some kind of service this year, but we don't really know this, nobody does. Nothing has started yet,
