6/26/72 Mr. Zelinka had no report since he had not met with either of his commissions. He did, however, read the letter from Art Hawkins regarding the possibility of the Village declaring the Rice Lake Heron Rookery as open space. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the areamentioned on the dredging permit given to Jandric when they first started work in that area didn't fit in with the area in concern. Mr. Jaworski said No, that the golf course is between the two areas; that it was there as a buffer zone to keep development away from the rookery. Mr. Marier thought the Enviromental Commission's point well taken, but said he would like to refer it back to the open space concept of the Village, and that it be put on the map which was drawn up. He felt a letter should be directed to the Park Board and Enviromental Commission asking them to tie this in with the Open Space Concept; this to be done separately in each group, who would then ahve a joint meeting on the subject. He noted that the P &Z plans a special meeting on the open space after receiving input from the other two boards. Mr. Marier moved to send a letter to both Board Chairman on the above. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Locher repo -ted that he had drawn out areas shwoing the burning ban, noting that the areas w -re quite well defined with the exception of one, No. 7 -in the PCA's letter. He had used his own judgement on this one; as the home owner had a large farm, he had included the whole acreage in the ban area. He noted that about 4 1/3 sections were included totally. He read the proposed ordinance which he had drafted at the time Ham Lake adopted theirs. There was some discussion; additions were made to the ordinance. Mr. Marier moved to make Bill E- lingsen (Weed Inspector ) the Deputy Fire Marshall, with his concurrence. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Carried. Mr. Marier moved to pass new Ordinance No. 59 on burning. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Locher stated it would be published this week. Mr. Locher noted that he had corrected the legal on Miller's Parcel B. to what the P &Z wanted, and that new surveys would be provided. Mr. Locher reported receiving a continuation certificate of the bond for sewer work for Morris B. Carlson Trenching, this to be put on file. Mr. Locher repo -ted receipt of $6.00 refund on the premium for the workmen's compensation insurance from LeMieu- Johnson Agency, noting that it was unusual to get such a refund. Mr. Locher reported that Glenn Rehbein had provided duplicate bonds in the amount of $40,978.00 for street work in Shenandoah, which was the amount listed by the Engineer in the June 12th minutes. He commented that the bonding company, Argonaut Insurance Company, was one of the largest such companies in the world. The papers were in order. Mr. Marier moved to accept the bonds submitted by Glenn Rehbein. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Carried. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if we had gotten the certification of our sign ordinance. Mr. Locher said he had sent it in but had not received an answer to either his letter or phone cal Is; however, it is now in the correct office. Mr. Jaworski noted that St. Joseph's Church had been levied at $10 fee for their sign on Lake Drive and Elm St. and if the State is going to charge for signs which we issue permits for, people will be charged double. Mr. Locher commented that it was not double taxation as the fees went to separate entities. Mr. Zelinka stated that the State is charging fees if the signs are within 5' of their right -of -way, and that they are insisting that he remove the 3 sign posts he has even though he is going to use the posts for a kiddie swing. Mr. Locher will check into the fees.
