March 22, 1976 Commission held on March 15, 1976. There had not been a quorum at the meeting, however, Mr. Warren Ahlers had appeared asking for permission to erect a score- board at either the soft ball fields at Sunrise or the Little League Fields by the Hall. There had been concern about the type of advertising onthis score board. The members present had wondered if the Little League officials would object to ads for tobacco products or liquor ads but Mr. Ahlers had checked with the Little League and there is no objections. The scoreboard would be installed and maintained for a four year period at no cost to the City. Mr. Schneider moved to authorize the installation of the scoreboard with the Park Board deciding the location. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried un- animously. Mr.Ahlers asked for a letter from the City noting that he has Council approval for the installation. This letter to be mailed to Mr. Warren Ahlers at 6426 Hokah Drive, Lino Lakes, 55014. Mr. Schneider reported on the cash flow. He had talked with Mr. Lyle Muehlbauer at Centennial State Bank on the savings account question. Based on his forecast to meet the bills due in April and May he would suggest two CD's be cashed #2678 and #1654. Mr. Schneider also suggested #2571 be pulled and deposited in a savings account. The CD's interest rate is 52% and the savings account is only 5% but this will give the City more flexiability in using the money if needed. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean moved to authorize the Clerk to establish a savings account at Cent- ennial State Bank. Seconded by Mr. Scneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Zelinka suggested this be done immediately. Mr. Schneider noted that in the bills payable this month there are two large bills not budgeted for - one from Columbus Township for grading done since last June and the Workman's Compensations Insurance premium which has hncreased.
