6/12/72 Clyde REhbein said inother villages progress stops until the red tag change is made. Mr. Boyd said he felt that was hard to do especially since, often times, people are already living in a home. There was general discussion about the percolation tests. Mr. Boyd said he had a meeting with Glenn REhbein and Ron Harless. Harless had suggested pulling tests around in various areas of the project (Shenandoah) rather doing one on each lot. Mr. Gotwald suggested that either the Village Building Inspector or Plumbing Inspector should request tests on low areas in average size lots in subdivisions. He also said that if ground water is within 6 feet of the surface they should tell them to not even bother witha percolation test as it will not pass. Mr. Cardinal moved that individual permits would require percolation tests before a building permit could be issued. In platted areas, necessary percolation tests would be determined by a quialified engineer. Commercial sites must be determined in the usual way. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. Mr. Boyd further noted that the fellow or plumbing contractor who did the job should be responsible for the red tag, not the homeowner. Lino Plumbing contractors are not licensed, and their licensing would be the only way of controlling this. Outside contractors are being licensed. Frank Villella on 4th Ave. is assuming the responsibility himself because he took out the permit. The contractor should be responsible too. Mr. Bohjanen referred to a letter dated Mya 5th from the Minnesota Assn of Plumbing & Heating & Cooling Contractors, Inc., in which they advise that Lino Lakes has a bad situation inasmuch as plumbing inspections can only be made after 5 P.M. Mr. Boyd stated that his only problem is with Berghorst Plumbing & Heating. They have two red tags against them right now, so he felt-there would be no appeasing them. He said he usually makes inspections the same night they are requested. He has 24 hours from the time of notification. Mr. Bohjanen said that since Mr. Boyd is working as fast as he can on a part -time basis, that he will speak to the Attorney again. Mr. Bohjanen had a copy of the Coon Rapids ordinance concerning open spaces. Mr. Marier moved to table it until Mr. Zelinka could look at it. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen said Steve Krube hasn't gotten back to him yet with names for the Recreation Committee. He still needs about 7 names. Mr. Marier moved to table any acotion onthe "Metropolitan Sewer Board Waste Regulation" until Mr. Zelinka can look at it. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Roberts, from the Roberts Hog Operation, was on the agenda, but the Deputy Clerk was unable to reach him by telephone. Mr. Hutchinson's letter was read, stating that he had been to the farm and spoken to the housekeeper. He saw no signs of presently feeding garbage. The housekeeper said Mr. Roberts was phasing out this operation. There have been no complaints from neighbors. The filling at Skyline Auto Body and the Blue Heron was discussed. The consensus was that Skyline's dumping could have affect to the people at the other side of the low area and that they probably shouldn't bring in any more fill. Mr. Marier moved to write the Skyline Auto Body and ask that they stop dumping. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Marier moved to accept the change in the Centerville Fire Contract. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried.
