dd u 1/10/72 Mr. Cardinal moved to adopt Resolution 1 authorizing Don Marier as Acting Mayor to sign checks et the bank. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen asked for authorization to have the Clerk write a letter thanking all members of all boards who have served the Village in the past year, and to write a letter to all newly appointed officials, notifying them of their appoint- ments, and including a resolution or ordinance covering their appointment. As to the Planning and Zoning Board members, that they all receive a full copy of all the ordinances. He asked the Clerk if the old members had had ordinance books; she stated that they had old ordinance books; she asked if they would be required to turn these books in; Mr. Bohjanen felt that they should. Mr. Bohjanen felt that all members of the Council should have a copy of the League Handbook, as well as one for the office; he wished to order enough, probably 4, depending on whether the former Mayor had a copy belonging to the Village, at a cost of $7.50 a piece (unless the price had gone up), for a total cost of less than $50.00. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the purchase, of-i5 copies of the latest edition of the League Handbook plus any necessary revision pages to bring our copies up to date. Seconded. by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that in order to bring the newly appointed P&Z members up to date on the Village plans the Engineer and the Planner would be requested to attend the January 19th Planning Board meeting. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned a letter received from the County asking us if we were going to start any new election presincts in the Village in the near future. He didn't see that we would. Presincts were discussed with Mr. Locher noting that we had 1 by law. He listed reasons for and disadvantages of creating more. Mr. Bohjanen felt we could study this later; Mr. Locher noted that if we desired a change it muet be done at least 90 days before the election. Mr. Bohjanen said we had gotten an answer back on the extra help for ditch - cleaning, namely an agreement to save harmless the County on claims for any damage except those covered under the Workman's Compensation. Mr. Locher read the agreement and suggested that a copy of the agreement be mailed to our insurance agent to get a written letter saying that this would be covered. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to authorize sending a letter to the agent for clearance and to authorize signing the form when clearance is received. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen requested, authorization to pay a check for $45 for the Assessor to attend a school at Anoka Ramsey Junior College on residential assessing. He felt that any help the Assessor can get in this line will benefit the taxpayer. Mr. Jaworski moved to pay this check. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mrs. Swanson asked if this was in conjunction with all these other classes that the State requires. Mr. Dupre mentioned a work session for building inspectors scheduled for Jan. 17 -19th; he would like to attend, but felt that the Village should reimburse him if he had to take off from work. Mrs. Swanson commented on seminars required by the State. Mr. Locher felt that this was through the State Bldg. Committee, that this might be a requirement for certification for building inspectors. Mr. Dupre stated that he earned $S/hour; the cost of the course was $35.00. Mr. Marier moved to send the Building Inspector to school, and that he use his own judgement on whether he would have been working on those days or not, and to pay him for his time if necessary. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen recommended to the Council that they take another look at plumbing fees; he felt that this was 1 reason that the other inspector had turned in his
