Mr. Backlin reported 14 holes in various locations had been dug through the frost line to benefit drainage, and that culverts installed last fall in the Lakeview area have been very satisfactory. Mr. Speiser asked the attorney for an opinion on the legality of the "49" Club selling set-ups on Sunday. Mr. Locher said a State Law passed in 1961 forbids this practice, but felt interpretation of the law was broad and opinions varied from the Liquor Commission. Officer Raymond reported the "49" Club claims the set-up serving was granted by the Commission. Ross motioned, seconded by Backlin to secure an opinion from the attorney General through the Anoka County Attorney's office as to whether or not an establishment may sell set-ups and allow consumption, but not sale of intoxicating liquors on their premises on Sundays. Carried. Mr. Domning stated no more sales until the matter is clarified. Ross questioned the present practice of accepting two 3- payments for the liquor licenses in the village, as collecting on delinquent payments offers a serious problem. Locher read Section 4, Subdivision 1 of our Liquor Ordinance #31, which states in part "an application for a license shall be accompanied by a treasurer's receipt in full payment." Ross motioned to rescind Council's previous action of June 23, 1964, which allows partial payments, by operating according to Ordinance #31, second by Speiser, carried. Officer Raymond was asked to check on the dance license for the Apple Inn. In a discussion pertaining to a bouncer being present at public dances in the Village, the attorney read from Ordinance #12, which states only dances charging admission would be subject to police or deputized subor- dinate in attendance. Ross motioned, seconded by Backlin to change Ordinace #12 and for the lawyer to draw up an amendment. Carried. Ross requested Council's permission to buy aerial maps, which would aid the village assessor. Cost of the map's would be $28.00 a set. Permission granted. Ross also questioned what control the village would have over industrial parks. Whether or not the village could restrict to industry only, with no rezoning. Mr. Locher would check into this. Ross reported he had been investigating costs of an insurance package for the village. Speiser suggested we try for a village insurance man. Ross motioned the deputy clerk purchase a file cabinet with lock, second by Backlin. Carried. Ross also requested use of the Village Hall on March 1, from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. for the D.F.L. caucus.
