Tabled for now. Mr. L'Allier stated that some bills were being proposed by the County Commissioners, but these would be studied next time. Mr. Herb Schoon inquired what was to be done with the 'town road; east from Baldwin Lake Road. He has purchased a piece of property adjoining the Water Department property and would like to build in a year or two. Mr. Locher read the letter he had received from the County Attorney pertaining to same. The County has not accepted the deed to the road and does not wish to; the road could probably be turned over to Lino Lakes if we really want it. However, the concensus of the Council seemed to be that we did not wish to take over another piece of road which needs a great deal of work at this time. Also, residents along this road had indicated in the past that they wished the road to be kept private. Mr. Schoon was told the only thing he could do would be to get the residents to petition for the Village to take it over and give service, for which they would pay. Mr. L'Allier announced that Mrs. Sarner was resigning as Village Assessor this summer. She had recommended that the County do the work (at a greater cost) or that another person be found (she mentioned that the Deputy Clerk, Kay Olson, had expressed an interest in the position and recommended Mrs. Olson for the position.) The Clerk will ask Kay about same. The concensus of the Council was that the cost of the County doing the work would be too high. Mr. Scherer inquired whether such a person didn't need a background with real - estate appraisal, but Mr. Locher replied in the negative. Mr. Jaworski moved that the bills be paid as audited. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 11:20.p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. All voted aye. (Bills next page)
