3/13/72 The Clerk read the police reports for February for Lino and Centerville. Mrs. Swanson had a question on how the number of homes to be checked is determined. The police are to report on this at the next meeting. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had received a letter £ran Centerville - they want $1000 for the police car, a '69 Ford. That figure had been used last year; the amount we had spent on the car would be deducted. Mr. L'Allier noted that this had been an informal offer only. After discussion it was agreed that Mr. Bohjanen would contact them again with a counter proposal to be determined by the blue book price and the amount we have spent on it for equipment. No one had yet appeared in behalf of the Riding Stable. Mr. Cardinal wondered who this S. Wilson person was as he knew several people over there but none by that name. Mr. Jaworski felt we should prosecute as we have been more than fair with them, but they don't seem to answer our letters. Mr. Locher noted that we would need evidence and investigation by the police. Mr. Marier moved to have the police investigate the matter and issue a tag. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. Cardinal didn't know if he was in favor of issuing these tags as they only cost the Village money for the Attorney, the police taking time off to appear in, court, animal oontrol, etc. The vote on the motion, after dis- cussion, was unanimously in favor. The Clerk was instructed to leave a note for the police to issue the tag as soon as possible. Mr. Locher commented on the Waste Control Rules and Regulations from the Metro Sewer Board, noting that they want us to adopt these either as a municipal code or a supplement to our code. He felt that Mr. Gotwald should look at the regula- tions since they contain much engineering detail. Mr. Gotwald will obtain a copy to study and will report. The Clerk read a bid which Mr. Backlin received from Miller Bros. Construction stating that the estimated cost of constructing a wooden crib, material and labor, size 61x121xB' high to meet with the balcony, to be between $475 -$500. Mr. Backlin had supplied a catalog with metal fencing and other items. The Council instructed Mr. Backlin to come up with a price for a metal and wire crib, choosing the items he felt would do the job for a comparative crib. Mr. Gotwald had submitted a letter stating that he had inspected the restora- tion work done on the borrow pit operated by El Rehbein & Son, Inc. on the Lloyd Erickson farm on West Rondeau Road, and that the work passed inspec- tion. Mr. Cardinal moved to release the bonds on the borrow pit and road work for El Rehbein & Son, Inc. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously. Glenn Rehbein was given the floor. He asked how he stood on the sewer and water in Shenandoah. He stated that if the Council required him to bond for the sewer and water installation it would cost him some $822,000 in cash to do so, and he couldn't manage this. Instead, he would have to put in wells and septic systems or let the Village do the bonding like they did for Jandric. He noted that he had tried to make the matter simple by doing the work himself. He mentioned that the $292,000 cost of the Jandric systems was higher than for his, but Jandric had only put up $50,000 in collateral, whereas we are asking him to put up $822,000 for $235,000 worth of work, which was unfair and not feasible. Glenn stated that he has bids on the roads now and doesn't want to fool around while waiting for an answer on this. However, if we want him to put in wells and septic systems, which is not right, he will do so. He has already sold four new homes and two models; he can't keep going like this without an answer. Glenn stated that the Council had the wrong idea on the NSP lighting - NSP only wants to know if the Village feels that they will put street lights in the 1 1 1
