Mr. Bohjanen stated that the Community & Business Development Commission had met and that they hoped the building would be completed sooner than 135 days. November 21st has been set as a goal for "open house ", but may have to be changed to a later date. W. Bohjanen asked about the size of a flag pole for a 4' x 8' flag, 35 - 40' high (24 -hr. day). It was decided that a pole with a 5 inch base, 2 inch top would be sufficient. W. Bohjanen will check on this with Century Fence Company. W. Rosengren mentioned that oiling and blacktopping had been started on Fourth Avenue south and north; on Baldwin Lake the blacktopping had been mixed on the'road; Linda and Laurene will be the next project. The possibility of renting a broom for half a day to sweep Marshan Lane before oiling was discussed. Mr. Rosengren will check with Marvin Rehbein on this matter. Mr. Rosengren mentioned about filling in dirt 8 -9 ", 2' above the road at the new Village Hall. The plumber will come in soon to put pipes in the ground. Mr. Rosengren made a motion to have Glenn Rehbein haul fill dirt for the new Village Hall, time to be approximately 2 hours. Motion seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. W. Rosengren said if the pond is left it should be maintained; it would be nice in the spring to use as run -off water. W. Gotwald mentioned it could work as a catch base for a parking lot, but recommended a decision be made at the time of landscaping. Top soil should be moved and some seeding done this fall. W. Bohjanen made a motion to rescind a previous motion to fill the pond until a future date when the landscaping is completed. Seconded by Mr. Jiworski. Carried unanimously. The installation of a. cesspool and drain field at the Village Hall was discussed. W. Rosengren moved to have the cesspool and drain field installed at the new Village Hall. Seconded by W. Cardinal. Motion carried. The following estimate for a well was received from Ernest Ludwig: 100 ft. 4" casing $ 450.00 Stainless steel screen 125.00 95 gal. buried tank & pitless unit 350.00 Yard hydrant 27.00 1 h.p. submersible pump & controls 409.00 Digging 50.00 Wiring 85.00 Total $1496.00 W. Gotwald mentioned we have to be careful in considering the size of the well, maximum. 6 ", keeping in mind that some day we will have a municipal system. The newer requirements are that we don't even use'storage tanks and we should call'for a certain rate per minute. W. Gotwald will check on wells and bids before the next meeting. W. L'Allier mentioned that it wouldn't be necessary to advertize in the paper if we got 3 or more persons to give us bids. No bids have been received on weed cutting. Mr. Rosengren will check the price with Bob Lundgren and if he wants to do this work for the same amount as last year, have him do this. The Clerk should aleo check the files for last year's price. If W. Lundgren will not agree to last year's fee, Mayor L'Allier knows of someone else who will cut for the same amount. , 1 1 1
