1 8 requested so that time used on certain projects might be charged to that project. Mr. Locher stated there might be a problem in collecting for this time if the bills had already been sent and paid by the respective persons. The Clerk was asked to type copies of the ordinance concerning the sewerage of inflammable liquids and mail them to the P&Z and Council. The letter from Chomonix regarding the park dedication for Lakes Addition No. 2 was read, stating that they will set aside 6.5 acres for park purposes or a possible cash settlement, whichever we decide we want. Mr. Ja *orski mentioned that the Park Board had held a special meeting on April 2nd to discuss this with the Engineer and the Planner. Jandric representatives had also been present. They had decided to hold off on picking a park site and to take credit for the acreage like we had done in Lakes Addition No. 1. Mr. L'Allier stated that he had talked on the phone with the rest of the Council members and all had agreed to accept this letter for additional credit. However, they had all felt that prior to any additional plats, we would decide on which acreage to take for a park or else take money. Alternatives considered were land on the unplatted south side of Reshanau Lake, on the north side or asking Jandric to guarantee some land on each of the lakes they hold land on. Mr. L'Allier stated that on the basis of this letter and the receipt of the necessary street bonds, the Clerk and he had signed the final plat of Lakes Addn. No. 2. Mr. Jaworski stated that they had received the information that Jandric only owns land on Reshanau Lake. Mr. Gotwald commented that they hold a contract for deed on land near the creek. 1 Mr. Locher stated that the street bonds were okay except that the name of Stan S. Watkins, principal for Bituminous Surface Treating Co., was not typed in and that this should be corrected. The Clerk will clear this with U. S. Lakes. The Clerk read a letter from Chomonix stating that Lakes Addition No. 2 must have water and sewer service no later than August 1, 1970 based. on their projected possession dates. After discussion, it was decided the Clerk would send a letter to U. S. Lakes stating that our Engineer is working on the information requested by the Metro Sewer Board, that he expects to have the preliminary reports within the next month, that we cannot commit ourselves to an exact date. We can probably have water for them by August 1st, and sewer within one year, but that a temporary tank could be used for a few houses. Carbon copies will be sent to the Council members. The Clerk read e letter from Peter Scherer regarding 64th Street and a notarized letter from Harry Proulx he had submitted to the Council in 1967 concerning the Village's responsibility for maintenance thereof. The Clerk stated that this letter could not be found in the file and was thought to have been removed sometime in 1967 when the files had been found opened. W. Scherer stated that the problem was that the Village had rebuilt 64th in 1966 so that it followed the section line and no longer came straight into his place. The letter had stated to what point the Village had originally main- tained the road. Mr. Scherer stated that the Village was now only maintaining about half of the road compared to prior rebuilding. There was considerable discussion, including the producing of the road easements acquired in 1965. Mr. Scherer stated that they had raised the road, but only half way and that he received the runoff; also, they don't go as far as his culvert. He wished the Village to either move the property line back or to maintain 64th like they had before. Mr. O'Flannagan stated that Mr. Backlin had supervised the rebuilding of 64th. He also stated that the top of the road was only 19 feet in width. Mr. Gotwald stated that this was acceptable when the Village replaces an existing road. Mr. Gotwald felt we should use the original 1
