an injunction restraining Mr. Ford from dumping any more. Mr. Locher

this area checked for conformance to the County's landfill regulations.

1
discussion and some questions they felt should be presented to the
Council. What is the authoriy of this Commission? Do they hire? fire?
budget? If they do not participate in these functions, then what?
Mr. Zelinka felt these matters should be approached in stages. He felt
it is necessary to have a strong advosory board, not a contractual
baord, for the following reasons, 1) within 6 months to a year, this
City should have a City Administrator. This person would have input
relative to Department management, and 2) he also questioned the political
effect of such a commission.
Mayor Karth agredd with the strong advisory commission concept.
Mr. Kulaszewicz wanted to contact Circle Pines for a copy of the
Ordinance that established the Joint Police force with Lexington. Mr.

before the next meeting and ask for thier input - both pro and con - with
perhaps some alterantives.

taken on this matter.

and hiring of Police applicants. Mr. Locher was concerned over the
phrase the "All Vacancies" will be filled by this method. He flet
this may violate seniority provisions in the union contracts. Alsom.

only does normal maintenance. If the home owner wants any more of a
street, it will be his responsibility to install. The lots on the
Morth side of the street are part of the open space. Mr. Gotwald felt
the issuance of the building permit was propert but no further work is
planned on that street.

Gotwald's recommendations and what the City will do. To include a map
showing the street and what will receive maintenance. Seconded by Mr.

There was discussion of 64th Street and Mr. Le Roux's minin`operation
in that area. Mayor Karth suggested that street be posted '3 Ton'
load limit. Mr. Gotwald felt this would put a stop to the operation
and he will take another look for another estimate. Mr. Zelinka so
moved with Mr. Locher to write a letter with Mr. Gotwald's recommendations

June 25, 1979
use this strip for a trail, and they needed documentation to support

is missing frma a catch basin in Shenandoah —this is a minor item to
take care of. The end of the line needs to be cleaned and he felt that
if contacted Mr. Rehbein, this would be taken care of.
There needs to be some repair on East Shadow Lake Drive, but he felt
that for now, Mr. Volk should do some patching and perhaps when Black
Duck is being surfaced, the major repairs ould be done at that time,
and at a better price. He will work this out with Mr. Volk.
Mr. Gotwald had checked LaMotte Road and there are 4 or 5 spots broken
up - not very big ones (due to bus or trash trucks) will talk to Don.
He felt these spots should be cut out and backfilled, compacted and re-
surfaced. This street should be seal coated this year. Mr. Gotwald
said Mr. Volk will be needing more sophisticated equipment such as a
compactor, air hammer, compressor.

members, Mr. Volk and he make an inspection of the area and come back
