Mr. Rosengren reported that they are still working on the County's bills;, there are some mistakes in it. The Village is now stockpiling sand and salt, purchased from Ashbach in White Bear Lake, at $1.70 per ton. Bid forms for seal- coating work will be sent out early in March. They hope to have the overall plan for road work ready in the spring. Mr. Gotwald mentioned that the manager from Shoreview had applied for a grant for sewer from NSSSD in County Road J from Lexington to Highway 49. They will send us a letter asking whether lino Lakes is interested in joining the line at J and 49, in which case a 60" line will be installed rather than a smaller one just for Shoreview.
