Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. There was discussion - the amendment was changed further. Vote -- Jaworski -- Aye; Marier - -No; Swanson - -No; Bohjanen- - Aye. Motion was la t. Mrs. Swanson noted that she couldn't vote for something she didn't understand; she wanted to see the amendment in writing. Mr. Jaworski moved that Mr. Myhre be instructed to go to the Oasis and pull their license. Mr. Locher stated we would be in for a law suit if we did so; Mr. Jaworski said it would be the same if we don't issue this one. Mr. Locher stated it has been interpreted that a liquor license may be denied for any reason or no reason. Mrs. Swanson stated that she didn't want to be rushed into something if she was not ready for it. Mr. Marier moved to have the Attorney make cop- ies of the proposed amendment and send them to the Clerk, and to have it put on the next agenda. Seconded by Mrs. Swanson. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren's license will be on the agenda also. Next was a request from Northwestern Bell to place buried cable near the Shen- andoah plat. Mr. Gotwald stated that we approve these in several villages, if there are conflicts, we instruct the Clerk write to have it relocated, and they will do this. In this case we can approve this; it is on a County Road and they must approve it also. Mr. Gotwald thought this pit may conflict with the sewer line. Mrs. Swanson asked if the buried line doesn't come later; Mr. Gotwald stated in many cases this comes first; they can hang the lines until the sewer is done. This one is close to the sewer line; he felt we should tell Bell that it will be in the way. Mr. Marier stated that the pit is only a pedestal and would be no problem. Mr. Gotwald recommended we go ahead and allow this. The Clerk was instructed to send a letter stating that there will be future utilities in the same area. There was discussion on the sign permit renewals requested by Brede. Mr. Jaworski moved to renew sign permits #D1 and #24 for Brede, Inc. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Ken Gourley stepped forward to request that the Council release $3100 of the $5000 bond we hold for work to be done on the house he moved in; this amount was for materials purchased and didn't include anything for his labor. He stated that he still had to purchase sheetrock, shingles and siding to com- plete the work. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to release $3107.36 of the bond on the approval of. the Building Inspector who is to notify the Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mrs. Swanson questioned what was covered in the bill for animal control; this was explained. Mr. Marier stated that at the last meeting the Forest Lake Hospital building proposal came up. This could be financed by either revenue bonds incurred by the hospital or by general bonds back to the taxpaper. He stated that we had spent money in 2 elections telling them no. Mr. Marier moved to inform our Board member on the Forest Lake Hospital Board to vote for revenue bonds rather than bring it back for another vote. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen asked that when we pay the bills, we have the motion read that we pay bills by numbers. He asked which police car was the Ford; the Clerk said this was the Centerville car. Mr. Jaworski moved to pay bills #4317 to #4348 as listed. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously.
