Mrs. Swanson asked if we had gotten a letter from the MSB on the cancellation of our allocatin, and stated she wanted a copy of the thank -you letter which was read at the meeting on the 19th. Clerk said she didn't have a copy in the file; Mr. Bohjanen will leave a copy for the Clerk. Mrs. Swanson asked the Clerk if separate card files on office and other equip- ment had been started yet; Clerk Had not. Mrs. Swanson wanted this done to show when equipment was bought and the money spent on its maintenance. Mr. Jaworski asked Mrs. Swanson if she had gotten a calcuator to try yet; she did not answer him. Mrs. Swanson asked if the Clerk had gotten red tags for the Plumbing Inspector; Clerk had not, but noted that Mr. West had provided his own, and she had no sample. Mr. Marier suggested getting one from an adjacent area and ordering 150 of them. Mrs. Swanson had noticed from the key list that there was only 1 key for the gas pump; Clerk thought there was an extra one. Mrs. Swanson said some committee chairman had keys for the building and were not listed. There was discussion, with the Clerk noting the list had not been up -dated since February. Mrs. Swanson asked if the part - time police had keys, and told the Clerk to bring the list up to date. Clerk said she had given a complete set of keys to Mr. Myhre and did not know which keys he gave to the other men. Mr. Myhre said that all the police men had keys to the side doors and the police office, and that he picks up the keys when a man quits. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Jaworski if the County men had been designated yet; he said he hadn't had time to do so yet. Mrs. Swanson said that was why he was having problems with the ditches. Mr. Jaworski denied having ditch problems; there was discussion. Mrs. Swanson brought up the matter of the $500 hookup fees whch were charged and are put into Debt Fund No. 3. She requested that these be taken out of that fund and put in another fund to pay off the bonds. Mr. Jaworski disagreed. Mr. Locher said that this is earmarked money which was set aside to pay off the assessments when they come due, and that we will ultimately need the money for that purpose. He noted that the money should be invested; Clerk said it was. Mrs. Swanson said that the bonds have to be paid off and are accumulating in- terest; it is a matter of balancing the interest. Mr. Locher agreed that we have to pick it up somewhere to accumulate it. Mr. Marier asked if we are charging for a hookup fee to an interceptor that isn't there? He stated that we should be charging to hookup to the lateral system. Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Cardinal both thought we were. Mr. Bohjanen noted that the fund is a hookup fund to pay off the Metro Sewer Board allaocation. Mr„ Marier said that we have no allocation this year, and we should charge a lateral hookup fee since the lateral is giving usage. Mrs. Swanson wondered if this meant the fee is being misrepresented; Mr. Marier said it is no different than us saying we have no flowage.. There was discussion. Mr. Marier moved to adopt Resuolution No 12 stating that the $500 hookup fee is for hooking up to the lateral system in Chomonix, and that the title of the Debt Fund N0.3 be changed to state that the money will be used for Sewers and not for paying the Metro Sewer Board allocation. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Marier noted that ,ferry odengren was to complete the work on his home that he moved in, such as putting siding on, and thought we should review this, perhaps send a letter. Mr. Bohjanen thought we should check the minutes on this.
