1 1 1 rinks; she considered this to be nepotism. Mr. Jaworski said he didn't hear of any volunteers to do the work. Mrs. Swanson asked if he had advertised in the papers; he said that the Council didn't move to do so. Mrs. Swanson stated that when we get the opportunity we will adopt a resolution that nepotism be avoided in the future. Mr. Bohjanen felt this could be handled by some kind of work roster. Mrs. Swanson said this had been discussed by the Personnel Commission who felt we should not encourage nepotism. A work roster should be made up and no favor - tism shown. The Personnel Commission will build up a roster; all names will go to them and they will keep it up to date. Mr. Marier asked if they would do this monthly; Mrs. Swanson didn't know. Mr. Bohjanen suggested a rotating ros- ter. Mrs. Swanson felt we should do this now or there will be hard feelings. Mr. Jaworski noted that the fair - weather workers won't want to work in cold weather. He stated that the Hagens are dependable people; they get the work done and it is a convenience to use those who we can get. Mrs. Gould commented that she had said the same thing 1 time last year; there should be no age limi- tation; even she could run the tractor; she was surprised that this came up again. Mrs. Swanson said there are no positions open so no one can apply. Hank Rosengren stated that we tried this last year but it doesn't work - most of the workers just stand around and let a few work. Mrs. Swanson noted that the economic situation is different this year. Mrs. Swanson asked if the Council would like to decide how many hours the Deputy Clerk should work; the last time sheet shows about 25 hours /month. She didn't feel that the Deputy should do work for the Police. The Clerk stated that she had cut down the number of hours the Deputy puts in when she had been hired on a full -time basis in December - the Deputy now works one 6 -hour day per week in- stead of 2 days /week. It was the consensus of the Council that the Deputy Clerk would continue to work an average of 6 hours per week total, except for emergen- cies; this would be left open, however, for any future work load increase in the Clerk's office. Mr. Marier stated that he hadn't gotten a key for the office yet; the Clerk stated that she had had Roy get keys made, but the store had used the wrong blanks and they didn't fit, so they would be returned. She promised to get keys made at the Hardware store tomorrow. Mr. Marier noted that the matter of the 7 acre park in Shenandoah had been referred to Mr. Cardinal by the P&Z; this is to be seeded by Glenn. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the Civil Defense had invited the Council and the Police Chief to their meeting on March 8th to view a film; he stated that he planned to attend another meeting that evening and would inform Mr. Cape. Mrs. Swanson had a Personnel Commission meeting that evening. Mr. Bohjanen mention- ed an agricultural meeting on weeds, etc. He would see if Mr. Ellingsen could attend; if not, he could get away for an hour or so.
