80 recreational facilities in one wing, and the population as of September 16 was 65 persons. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Copy to be sent to Dr. Gelbman, Director of the Youth Center. The "Slow Children" signs had been put up on Linda Street. There were com- plaints on the 30 mph limit. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that the taxes on the concrete garage on Sunrise would not be delinquent until next year and that perhaps we should hold off on demolition. The Clerk was instructed to check the minutes to see what had been done concerning this for the next meeting. Mr. Rosengren stated that the telephone company had damaged a culvert on Fourth Avenue and that he will call them about it. The prime and seal work was finished on Bald Eagle Boulevard, Rolling Hills Drive and Aqua Lane, but the rain had slowed work on West Rondeau Lake Road. The driveways in the Lakeview area will be fixed up this week. M. Myhre reported that he had not found the horses reported to be on Hodgson Road opposite Birch Street, but there were some down further in a pasture on several acres; therefore nothing is to be done. Mr. Rosengren reported that they had tried out the tractor and will return it; however, the packer will be purchased with Columbus Township. No shooting signs were put up in the area of Holly, 12th, and Birch Street. He asked the Clerk to send revised Village maps to the utility companies after Mr. Gotwald completes them for marking the location of buried cables. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned the 20 mph limit on North Road. Apparently that limit must have been put up by Circle Pines as Commissioner Burman knows of no County action taken to reduce the limit. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that the trouble with the 20 mph signs is having no authority to enforce the limit. 1 Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the County had taken over the East service road of 35E from the County line to Highway 14. A discussion ensued on the roadwork being done on Birch Street east of Centerville Road. Since one landowner would not donate an easement but wished to be paid, the work could not go forward, as the others wanted to be paid also. Mr. Pete Nadeau complained about the quality of work and the inconsistency of dirt moving by the County but said he wanted the work completed as soon as possible and wanted the Council to push the County on this. After discussion and complaints from residents, Mr. L'Allier moved that a letter be sent to Commissioner Burman stating that we had been visited by residents of Birch Street East of Centerville Road who all wished to see the work on Birch Street done as soon as possible and to accomplish this would gladly donate the easements even though one resisting party wished to be paid; they therefore request that the County purchase said easement from Mr. Pratcher and complete the road. Copies of the letter are to be sent to all adjoining property owners and a carbon copy to Mr. Lundheim. Mr. Locher stated that he had heard from Lindberg Construction which acknowledged that 64th had been built too high but they had no wish to fix it. The letter will be sent to Mr. Gotwald to hash out with Lindberg. We will do the work and charge them for it if necessary. The Building Inspector mentioned a house in the 6900 block on Lakeview Drive owned by Allen Real Estate Company of Anoka which has a caved in cesspool, a broken -down fence and a garage in need of paint. Mr. Locher will call.
