December 27, 19761 The County Surveyor had checked the plat and had two comments; 1) there are no utility easements. Mr. Locher had checked with Mr. Gotwald on this and Mr. Gotwald said the sewer would be put in the street - the gas and water in the right -of -way, therefore, there is no need for easements. 2) the Surveyor had commented on the one street name going in and out of the plat. He thought it could be confusing to people entering the area. The Clerk said she had talked with Mr. Kelling on this matter and it was felt that since there are no corners on the street, it would be more confusing trying to decide where one street ended and the other began. This way the lots will be numbered odd on one side of the street and even on the other. Mr. Karth asked about that portion of 6Ith Street just West of this plat. Mr. Edmundson said the easement for�Db-4'th street goes to the corner of their property. He will install that protion of the street and turn over to the City of maintenance. There was a question on the money in leiu of land for Parks and Mr. Edmundson said the amount would be paid as soon as it is determined. Mr. Schneider moved to accept this plat and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the hardshells. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Joe Davis was present with preliminary results of the survey taken in reference to the petition for utilities in the Lakeview area. 68% of the people responded to the survey. Mr. Davis said hewas surprised at the results. He wants to recheck the results and then will turn the questionnaires over to the City. Mayor Bohjanen thanked Mr. Davis and the people who had assisted him in this survey. He asked if the questionnaires would be turned over to the City before the meeting scheduled for January 6, 1977 in order to comapre with the list of persons who had signed the petition. Mr. Davis said he would try. The Police Contract with Centerville was considered. Chief Myhre had recomputed his figures. Mr. Schneider asked this matter be tabled until Chief Myhre was present. He has some questions on some of the figures. Mr. Karth asked the Clerk to contact Blaine on the matter of the water tower and have an answer before the January 6, 1977 meeting on the Lakeview area. Mayor Bohjanen said he would like to have the Council know that he felt this past year had been a good year and a lot had been accomplished by this Council and he felt next year should be even better. Mr. Karth reported the requisition for the sander is in this meetings folder. He had computed that the additional sander would-Tay for itself in about a year and one half in wages and time save. He also reported the springs on the Ford dump truck had to be replaced. They were for a dump truck not a snow plow. Mr. Karth said the matter of the sewer truck had been checked out - the driver stops at home for his breaks and for lunch and Mr. Karth felt that he is not out of line. About one load per week is being hauled out of the Shenandoah system. This should increase as more people connect. Chief Myhre had arrived. Mr. Schneider asked him about the figures in the Police Contract. Chief Myhre said he had used the formula used in_previous years only adding some costs for the portion of the building used. Mr Schneider felt this contract costs should be computed on the valuation figure such as the fire contracts are. He felt it is too late to redesign the formula for this year and asked this be put in the tickler file for Jule 1977 for Council consideration. He said the capital outlay is being charged at the front end and should be spread. Chief Myhre was asked of Centerville had considered these figures and Chief Myhre said, No.
