220 February 28, 1977 Mr. Schneider said in reading the Ordinance establishing this Board, he finds the requirement that an annual report be submitted. He moved this report be sub- mitted with the budget. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider said he had had several calls from the residents of the Lakeview area stating they felt the water tests suggested at the last Council meeting is a form of blackmail to force them to agree to the installation of the public utilities in that area. Mr. Zelinka said that was the fartherest thing from his mind. The tests were suggested for the personal knowledge of the residents only. He asked the Clerk if she had obtained information on the availability of the kits. She said she had called several times but had been unable to contact the person who is assigned to this area. Chief Myhre said he will talk to him since he sees him quite often. Mr. Zelinka said the Personnel Commission had received and reviewed two insurance plans. Both polices had seemed compatible as to the City's cost - about $450.00 to $550.00 per month. This computes to about $250.00 more per month than is being paid at the present time. A meeting with the affected employees had been scheduled and the employees had reviewed the policies. Mr. Johnson was to obtain brochures of the policy the employees favored. Because of this, Mr. Zelinka felt the earliest the policy could be come effective would be April, 1977. He hoped to have a recommendation for Council consideration at the next meeting. Mr. McLean asked if this had been budgeted and Mr. Schneider said, No. This is an area for the Auditor's input. Mr. Zelinka reported on the meeting with the Mediator on Friday February 25, 1977. Hw would defer a report on this until Mr. Locher returned. (Mr. Locher had to leave to attend another meeting, but will be returning). Mr. Gotwald presented the plans and specifications for the Improvement #76 -3, sewers on LaMotte Road. The residents of that area, who were in the audience questioned Mr. Gotwald on the varous aspects of this system. Mr. Gotwald said one require- ment from the contractor, would be the street must be kept open for traffic. He suggested using the blacktop that must be removed to shore up the bank on Peltier Lake Drive. He said the gravel in the street would be retained, and re -used along with several inches of new material - this would be allowed to settle before re- surfacing the street. Mr. Gotwald said after these plans and specifications are approved by this Council, they must be submitted to Centerville for their approval. Mr. McLean moved to pass a Resolution approving the plans and specifications for Improvement #76 -3, sewers on LaMotte Road. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carr- ied unanimously. Mr. Zelinka moved to pass a Resolution ordering the Engineer to prepare for bids and to advertise, bids to be opened March 18, 1977. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Mot- ion carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald asked the status of the open area left when Lakes Addition #3 was platted. Mr. McLean said this is just open space. The City did not accept it for maintenance. This area was to be left to nature.
