Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski inquired about what was happening as far as bids on a new truck. Mr. Rosengren stated that they had held off in favor of getting the building specs ready; Merit Chevrolet has one in stock similar to what we want - -he had seen one. There' is now a 90 -120 day waiting period for the trucks. He will have the specs worked up for presentation at the next meeting. He had had no chance to look at the broom for the park tractor. Mr. Locher stated that Mr. Gotwald had called him today on the building specs bids; the specs are ready. It is only necessary to publish the ad once in the legal newspaper at least 10 days before the bids are to be opened on June 22nd. This will also be published in the commercial engineering paper. Mr. Bohjanen reported that the GOP club has a flag, which was flown over the White House, to present to the Council to fly in Sunrise Park on June 8th. Also, the VFW will purchase a new flag to be flown at the Village Hall. Mr. Rosengren noted that we will need a new flagpole for the new building- -also, the small pond on the property is full of timbers and sticks. Mr. Bohjsnen suggested that the Planning & Zoning study the matter of setting a distance between homes built on commercial property of 10 feet the same as in residential areas. W. Locher checked the ordinance and found no mention of this for homes in commercial areas. W. Bohjanen wondered whether one of Clyde Rehbein's duplexes was 10 feet from a neighboring lot at one point. After dis- cussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved that a letter be sent to the Building Inspector with carbon copies to all Council members, stating that he should check to see that all houses built in oaaaeroial areas are at least 10 feet from the property lines.
