Cdr Backlin asked Locher if any decision had been made concerning right -of -way of Mr. Thies. Answer was nothing yet, Locher and Gotwald had both contacted Mr. Fleming the attorney, but no indication has been made by him that Mr. Thies is available for a meeting. III Locher also stated he had spent considerable time checking the land of Lundbergs, and can find nothing about easements that definitely defines this area. The only conclusion arrived at was that if the village had been maintaining the road for at least 6 years, then a cartway easement would have been established. Backlin discussed asking the County to take over a short portion of 80th Street, which is a continuation from the county line across the new bridge. Will try to set up a meeting with the County Commissioners to discuss this. Gotwald discussed working over that portion of Lakeview in front of LaRock's to get rid of the water problem. One way would be leveling and bituminous coating at a cost of approximately $1,500.00, an alternative would be running a ditch through with 24' culverts which would run $500 to $600.00. He also suggested that all dirt removed could be hauled to Ware Road and used for fill. Backlin felt we should consider doing the work with our own equipment,and suggested tabling the matter until the entire Council could meet on the location and further discuss the best method to be used. Gotwald stated he had checked on the culvert in front of the Youth Center, that it had been replaced with a large size permanent culvert and was operating satisfactorily. Locher had tried to contact Mr. Hamblin of the Water Department, but would have to meet with him when he returned from vacation after June 1. III Ross reported that at the Planning and Zoning meeting on May 18, several things were taken under consideration. The Plumbing and Heating code was discussed and the Planning committee has a recommendation for the Council to consider. He moved that we turn this file over to our attorney to put into legal language for us to discuss. Backlin seconded, motion carried. Locher stated this could be handled by a hearing rather than a resolution and ordinance. Ross also moved that we continue our clean -up efforts and that the police enforce a conclusion to those notices of violation which have been issued. Second by Backlin, motion carried. L'Allier reported he had talked to Mr. Lasch of District 12, and the school will use the park beginning June 16 through August 15, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 12 noon. They would also like to use the park building and will provide supervisors. I would recommend permission be granted to the school district and Mr. Lasch for this purpose. Second by Domning, motion carried. Ross again suggested putting two more lights into the park, and this will be further looked into. Downing reported he had contacted several men at Northern States Power relative to purchase of gas for the village, however, NSP felt the Federal Power Commission would not go along with this since two suppliers were already in the area. I have read again the original franchise given us for study by North Central, and which can be reworded. III I think it is the Village's place to prepare a franchise and offer it to them. A petition was handed to the Council at this point by Bill Bohjanen signed by approxi- mately 315 people who asked the Council to consider private gassupplier rather than Circle Pines Utility Company.
