1 1 1 12/14/70 The matter of a credit card having been used by an unknow person was discussed. Mr. Cardinal moved that the Clerk send letters to all the stations where cards are used by the Village, instructing them to only allow use of the cards for a Village -owned vehicle and to note the type of vehicle, its number and license number on each ticket. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski noted that this might pose a problem if one of the Parks workers were to go up with a 5- gallon can. Mr. Locher stated that the station would have to stand the loss for the unauthorized ticket, the Village was not responsible. This ticket will be sent back to the company with a letter of explanation. There followed discussion of the persons authorized to use credit cards. Mr. Bohjanen wondered if it were proper to leave the card at the station since we now moved to issue credit cards to the following four (4) individuals; Roy Baeklin, Robert Lundgren, John Juleen and Clifford Hagen, and one (1) card for the police car. Mr. Locher noted that cans of gas could not be stored at the parks since they would be in violation of Ord. #55. There was a discussion on the problem of a relief driver needing gas during snowplowing. The motion was changed to read that thefive (5) credit cards would be numbered rather than made out for a specific person. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal had no report, but noted,that the P&Z meeting would be Wednesday evening, the 16th of December. Mr. Jaworski had no report. Mr. Rosengren reported that they had awarded the bid on the wing and hitch to Itasca Equipment. The price of $2,986 included a Wausau.frontthitch, Wausau wing assy, lift ram, Husting truck unit, hitch, Whelan Strobe light, a pair of head - lights on cab, and one right hand wing light. An additional charge to adapt our V -plow (about $75) and to mount the strobe light on a leveling,base will be made; the total time and labor for thse items might come to a little over $300. The Olson bid was $3400 plus besides the lights; the Itasca bid was considerably under the Olson bid. Mr. Rosengren stated that he had met with C lumbus Trop on the grader --they had decided to increase the rate to $15 per hour. Mr. Rosengren noted that twice this fall we had hired an additional grader at $18 per hour from Schifsky and Schuh. There was discussion. Mr. Rosengren moved to accept the offer from Columbus at $15 per hour for one year. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal: Carried unanimohmiy. Mr. Rosengren reported that the new hall was getting to the final stages as far as Mattson is concerned. Mattson is putting in the baseboards, although they haven't been stained yet. Mr. Cardinal called Ken Miller to seenwhen Wally Anderson would start the work on the wood. Mr. Rosengren noted that the contract for the carpet had been signed; the total cost for 384 1/3 yards of carpet at $5.20 per yard came to $1998.52. Labor to install the carpet would be $1.50 per yard; however Ken Schoeller can't start laying carpet until the baseboard is finished. Mr. Bohjanen noted that Mr. Art Hagen had wanted us to hold an inspection so that the building might be turned over by the first of the year. After considerable discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to set a special informal meeting on December 21st at 8:00 p.m. in the new building for the purpose of inspection. Mr. Gotwald will also attend. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bohjanen stated that after the inspection we could then plan for the grand opening some time after the first of the year. Mr. Jaworski commented that this wo81d be easiest and would still commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Village. It was noted that the parking around the new building was still a little rough, but since everything is frozen, only a depth of snow could help.
