Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the minutes of September 22, 1975 with the following correction: Page 5, paragraph 10, last line: delete the word "her" and add: "Mrs. Soukop's position." Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. The Clerk read a letter from the Minnesota Highway Department setting the speed limit on Birch Street from Highway 49 to Centerville Road at 50 MPH and from Centerville Road to 20th Avenue at 55 MPH. He also stated that the City's request concerning the service road East of 135 E will be sent to the State Highway Department for study. The Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Paul Ruud stating that the road is not capable of carrying traffic at that speed. The design of the road makes this rate of speed unsafe. They would also like Mr. Ruud to know that the Council feels that the repair work done on Birch Street is atrocious and a waste of money. The condition of the street now makes the control of a car almost impossible. The condition of County Road No. 14 is about the same. She was instructed to send a copy of this letter to Mr. Burman and ask that he drive out and inspect these streets. Read a letter from the State Board of Assessors announcing a Property Valuation Short Course and Continuing Education Workshop for Certified Assessor's. The letter states also that in order for an Assessor to retain their certification a certain number of Continuing Education Units (CEU) will be necessary. The number necessary to retain the certification will be discussed at these classes. Mr. Kelling had requested permission to attend the one at St. Joseph on October 28, 29 & 30, 1975. The Clerk requested permission to attend the same course. After some discussion, Mr. Jaworski moved to grant Mr. Kelling permission to attend the courses to be offered on November 7, 12 & 13, 1975 to be held in Chaska. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Zelinka questioned the Clerk as to how many of the CEU's are necessary to retain certification. She said she didn't know, this has just been start- ed and will be discussed the first day of the course. She said she would like to attend one of the sessions in order to retain her certification and would pay her own transportation charges. After consideration, Mr. Zelinka moved that the Clerk be allowed to attend the course at Chaska, the only cost to the City to be Mrs. Sarner's wages for the three day period she is gone. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried with Mr. Jaworski voting, No. Read a letter from Rep. Oberstar in connection with the approval of the interceptor. In connection with this, Mr. George Gotwald said that his firm had been told that the funds for this interceptor are not in the 1976 budget but will be in the 1977 budget. This information had come from Mr. Ray Payne 11
