176 The clerk passed on information from Attorney Locher that the openings would be for three trustees, respectively for 2 three-year terms and 1 two-year term, and those persons filing should designate which term they were filing for. Treasurer's report was read, with balance at $11,031.76, plus $10,000 in bank certificates. Mrs. Sarner requested the Council consider purchase of a Calculator to aid in her work. Purchase of this equipment will be looked into. She also asked to have the Council consider having a copy made of the 6 field books and have this information available for village purposes after the origi- nals are turned back to the County. The cost of this copying, plus the hard covers, would be an expenditure of approximately 75.00. Ross moved we purchase this copy with the covers, second by Backlin, motion carried. Backlin reported the County Commissioners have okayed our request, and the County Engineer is to arrange for a meeting for all the villages and the Commissioners to discuss the splitting of the maintenance work on county roads. Backlin requested the engineer to investigate 80th Avenue, which is being used as a haul road by Schuh, and moved to have Gotwald issue the neces- sary permit to haul gravel. Second by L'Allier, motion carried. Ross had the minutes of the previous Planning and Zoning meeting read. He also reported that he felt the gentlemen who attended the Planning meeting from Aqua Floats, Inc., were pleased with the information which they received relative to the building of a small manufacturing plant.in the village. Ross reported that William Herbst and his Attorney, Mr. Gibbs, were at the last Planning meeting to request a permit to operate a land fill dump near Lake Amelia. In view of the petition presented against the dump, he felt Mr. Herbst and his attorney should appear before theCouncil. L'Allier discussed the bids received a year ago for a multiple use black- topped area in the parks. A bid from S&H for a 60 x 120' area at a cost of 1,088 has been checked by the engineer. It was moved by L'Allier that these areas be installed as early in the spring as possible. Second by Ross, motion carried. L'Allier also stated that the Park Association, at least for the park on Sunrise, had indicated a willingness to construct some kind of a fence around the blacktop area in the park. Some excavating work, supervised by the engineer, had been done in the Park on Highway 8 and it is hoped to be finished with the new backstops in before winter. This area was also readied for a good skating rink for this winter. L'Allier, with Mr. LaCasse, had looked again at the land which Miller has for sale. Only about 6 or 7 acres appear to be high land (out of approxi- mately 30 acres for sale) and the price is $550 per acre. Ross moved we pay the bills, second by Damning, motion carried. Backlin moved we add to the ballot in November the following: "That begin- ning January/67 the Trustees and the Mayor be paid at a rate of $50.00 per month." Second by Ross, motion carried.
