1,/11/71 Mr. Gotwald recommended that at the meeting with the Metro Parks planners that we bring out the philosophy of certain roads, namely that those which circle lakes should be considered as lake boulevards and thus be under the jurisdiction of the'park system. He thought that the Metro Parks should take over some of these roads such as around Centerville Take and Bwld Eagle Take. There was some discussion. Mr. T'"llier mentioned that this would be a joint meeting with the P&Z, the Park Board and the Planner and the Engineer. Mr. Locher had no other report. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether we had officially signed everything in taking over the new Hall. Mr. Locher noted that the insurance had been taken care of before we moved in. Mr. Bohjanen then adked of we would meet with the contractor and officially take it over or would this be automatic? Mr. L'^llier noted that there were some changes to be made yet.- Mr, Gotwald stated -that he had contacted their supervisor and given him a list of all items which remained to be taken care of. of the $80,000 cost of the building some $67,000 had been paid leaving about '13,000 to go. He recommended holding the cirrent bill for some '5,000; this was agreed to. Mr. Gotwald stated that he would make a final inspection with one of the Council members and would then write a letter to the Council recommending acceptance. When we-make the final payment we officially take it over. ['Allier noted that it would not hurt to hold out on the payment a while.

Ur. L'lllier stated that we had budgeted for the Village office to be open 6 hours per day in 1971. Last year we had paid the Clerk $300 per month for keeping the office open b hours per day; she is now working 6 hours per day starting January 1st, and will attend the two regular meetings per month. He recommended abandoning the one evening office hour per week. The neputy Clerk will take all special meetings. Also, the Clerk has offered to hire a babysitter.
