Helin, 890 Main Street; she had told the Clerk she could take shorthand, although she had not done so for some time. Mr. Bohjanen said he had talked to the Personnel Commission Chairman, who had called the other members and got hold of all of them but one, and they had felt that if we could only get one applicant in six weeks we should accept her. Mr. Bohjanen noted that she lives close to the Hall and is free to fill in in the office and also for P &Z meetings; he noted that we need help in the office now and for any emergencies which might come up. He requested that the Council hire her as Deputy Clerk since we only have one applicant.

Mr. Jaworski moved that we postpone their hearing indefinitely and that they must submit a new date for a hearing. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Carried. Mr. Jaworski reported that we have a requisition for about 1 ton of calcium chloride for dust control; this should. take care of the village streets for the summer at a cost of $104.00. Mr.Jaworski proposed that we raise the salaries of the Road and Park Supervisor, the mechanics and those people who do roads and parks work as follows: Roy Backlin - raise from $3.50 to $4.50 /hour Mechanics - raise from $4.00 to $4.50 /hour Laborers - raise from $2.70 to $3.25 /hour He feels the Supervisor should not get less money than those who are working for him, also, the men have had no raise since 1969. He made the recommendation a motion. There was discussion. Mr. Jaworski stated that he wished these rates to be good until the first of the year, and noted that they should have been raised the first of this year. He stated that there are from 1 to 5 men working on the roads and parks, that we can't determine hwo many hours this will be, that Roy puts in about 4 hours a day and the other men more. Mr. Bohjanen asked if we are justified under the Wage and Price Board; Mr. Marier felt we were if we didn't do this at the first of the year and the cost of living increase were more than the wage increase - however, this would have to go to the Wage and Price Board.
