1 January 26, 1976 Mr. Karth suggested that in polling the Council Members by phone, it be done alphabetically. Mr. Zelinka said there are a couple of cases of businesses being carried on in a residential area where there is no special use permit. He felt that if a permit is necessary for some, it should apply to all. The one in point is in the Lakeview area where furniture is being sold out of the home. Mr. Zelinka said there are several others that he had discussed with the Police Chief and he felt these should be brought to the attention of the Council. Chief Myhre was asked about these and did not have an immediate answer for the Council. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher what the procedure would be in a case where the usage changes? Mr. Locher said if the usage changes, the permit is void. Mr. Locher reported that a meeting with the Mediation Board is scheduled for January 27, 1976 at 9:00 A.M. for more discussion on the Police matter. Mr. Locher felt that all the information had been presented at the first hearing and he didn't know what else to tell them. Mr. Locher suggested that it might be wise to have the accountant present. He thought the delay had been to give the City and the Union a chance to explore sources for additional funds. Mr. Locher said that he had checked all areas that was suggested and no funds are available any place. Mayor Bohjanen thought the Union wanted time to analyze the City's offer and will come back to this meeting with a counter proposal. Mr. Zelinka questioned the recommendation for the accountant to be present. Mr. Locher thought he might be able to answer some of the questions that he, Mr. Locher, could not in regards to the financial position of the City. Mr. Zelinka asked if this would be Mr. Hill or Mr. Davis? Mr. Schneider felt that they do not have enough knowledge of the budget to be of any assistance. Mr. Locher read a letter from Mr. Hill dated November 1975. This was in answer to Mr. Locher's inquiry as to what happens if the City exceeds the levy limitations as set by the State. The penalty for exceeding the levy limitation is 33 %. In actuality, if the levy limitation is exceeded by $15,000.00, the City would only realize $10,000.00. Mr. Locher said that he had talked with the Assistant Attorney General and he knew of no other sources of funds for law enforcement. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize Mayor Bohjanen and Mr. Locher to attend this hearing. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. Mr. Dave Sina, representative for Mr. Glenn Rehbein, had presented the Council with a letter dealing with the installation of the internal system in the Shenandoah project. Mr. Rehbein had abtained bids from seven contractors and Northdale Construction was the low bidder. The total cost of the laterals will be approximately $1,800.00 per lot. This comp- any can start the installation on February 1, 1976 and be completed within 90 working days. 13
