The changes were - "Randeau" to Rondeau "; "George Welch" to "George Watch "; and "Forsham" to "Marshan ". Mr. McLean asked if this action was final or could it be altered by State action. Mr. Locher felt the State would need to approve but did not think the State would act counter to the County's actions. 1 ..A set of proposed rules containing standards and criteria for granting and denying permits to change the course, current, and cross - section of public water. The Planning and Zoning Board will consider these rules and the Clerk was asked to make a copy for Mr. Gotwald.

This will be considered at the budget hearing scheduled for August 25, 1977 at 7:30 P.M. ..Municipal fines in the amount of $641.83 had been received for the month of July. Under Mayor Bohjanen's Report, Mr. Lester Winter appeared protesting a warning ticket he had received in reference to old un- licensed cars stored on his farm. Mr. Winter said he had this same problem in 1971 and had received permission from the Council to keep these vehicles. He said he uses them in his farming operation. Mr. Winter presented a letter initialed by Mr. L "Allier, Mayor, stating that an Attorney's opinion was being requested. Mr. Locher said he did not recall the incident. Mr. McLean asked how many old cars were stored on the farm - Mr. Winters, said 5 or 6; Mayor Bohjanen asked if there were motors in the cars - Mr. Winters said all but one. Mr. Locher read the Ordinance pertaining to this type of violation and felt this ordinance relates to the storage of 'unused' machinery - not just 'old' machinery. Mr. Locher sugg- ested holding this matter in abeyance until this matter can be checked. Mr. McLean moved to hold any action on the warning ticket in abeyance until this matter can be resolved, to direct an ordinance revision to make clear the intent. The Clerk is to inform the Police Department of this action. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously.
