Sampson, Mr. Locher will draw up a contract, asking for a starting date and asking for completion,. if possible, by the 21st of November. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren noted that Mr..Gotwald has advertized bid specs for the new truck. Mr. Gotwald commented that this was for the truck chassis only. Mr. L'Allier stated that the opening of 135E would be held next Monday at 1:30 pm at the intersection of I35E and I694 in Little Canada with a proces- sion through the various communities along I35E ending at Der Lech Haus in Forest Lake. Mr. Gotwald read his recommendation for the release of the bond held for Cecil .LaNitte on the Second Addition portion of LaMotte Road; the letter indicated that except for low boulevards in certain areas and the relocation of part of the existing drainage ditch in the Outlot, he recommended releasing ell of the bid except for $500 which should be held until these two things are taken care of in the spring. Mr. Rosengren moved to authorize the Clerk to write to the First State Bank of Hugo to release the bond for Ocil LaMotte except for an amount of $500 which is to be held until further notification. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald reported that he had checked Rolling Hills Drive and had found some damage from the hauling. The work had been done without proper bond or notification; the roadway easement property was no longer Mr. Reiling's since the plat is on file. About 2000 yards of dirt, worth $2000, had been removed to fill another piece of property. This was in violation of the ordinance. Mr. Gotwald recommended that if the Village wishes to pursue the matter that we can tag him for the removal of dirt without permission and /or require him to repair the seal - coated road for an approximate cost of $100 for 8 tons of blacktop. Mr. L'Allier recommended that Mr. Locher be authorized to write Mr. Railing and his contractor requesting reimbursement for damages and requiring them to get a permit for.such work since they were in violation of the ordinance. Mr. Locher commented that the work had stopped when they were told that they -were in violation. Mr. Gotwald suggested that they be required to come back and do restoration work. The 4% grade of the adjacent hill caused the silting out on the roadway. Upon further discussion it was noted that the dirt removal would have had to be done in the future anyway. After more diacussbn, Mr. Rosengren moved that Mr. Locher write the owner and contractor telling them that there will be no further construction without the proper permits and that they should contact Mr. Gotwald on the work to be done. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren noted that there is a bus turnaround on Rolling Hills Drive, but he doesn't know where the end of that street is. After discussion it was decided that the plows will turn around in the yard at the end of the driveway this winter, but that the end of the street should be marked and e proper turnaround made next year.
