They are still waiting for more information 90 on the guard shacks that could be used for a warming house at the Hall Rink. There was discussion on the type of bathrooms that could be installed at the Baldwin Lake area and the need for a well there. There was also the problem of our one year at a time lease with the St. Paul Water Department. Mr. Marier thought we should have more security before we invest too much money in buildings at that location. There was discussion on the entrance to the property and the need for signs to advertise that the park is available for public use.

He had been asked if the Village would pump sewage from private systems since it is their money that paid for the truck and trailer. Mr. Jaworski answered that we are pumping a municipal system not private systems. Mr. Locher said that even though the monies used to pay for this rig came from the general fund that in the future this system will be self supporting ans this amount will be put back in the general fund. Mr. Zelinka reported that the Personnel Commission will be meeting some time this week to start interviews for the Part Time Policeman's position. Mr. Bohjanen and Mr. Myhre have gone through the app;ications and broke them down into catagories for the Commission to take a look at. Also, there is a need for a second man to cover the overlapping time necessary to take care of the well and see to the pumping. Mr. Zelinka stated that the commission could start looking for a second man by direction of the Council. It was suggested that the Commission interview the men we already have applications from. Mr. Marier asked if the hiring of a second man would cut back on the payroll? Mr. Zelinka III said that this was his understanding. With more full time help the necessity of part time help would be cut way back. Mr. Marier suggested naming the people who would be cut from the payroll. Mr. Jaworski thought is was too soon to start naming names. We should have more solid plans. Mr. Jaworski also thought with two full time men, there would be very little need for any part time help. 91 January 22, 1973 There was: muck di;scnasion on this, problem and to the di rection of the Council should take. Mr. Marier moved to have Mr. Backl in program the situation and lay out a one year program before we hire a second man. Mr. Cardinal suggested a six months period rather one year.

The letter stated that with the added responsibilities of his new position that he did not have the time to serve us adequately. The Council accepted his resignation with regrets. Mr. Bohjanen asked if Mr. Gotwald could serve in both positions in the interim period.

Mr. Locher had checked our Ordinances dealing with outside bathrooms and found nothing prohibiting them, but suggested that we install chemical bathrooms at the Baldwin Lake Site. Mr. Locher had a call from the Clerk concerning the installation of the plumbing at the Freeway Farms by non - licensed personnel. The plumbing inspector had red tagged the work. The work had been started without a plumbing permit. Mr. Locher had checked with the State Plumbing Inspector and as long as our population is under 5000, plumbers do not have to have a state license. But when our population hits 5000, then this State Law automatically prevails. The Freeway Farms have obtained a plumbing permit and paid a double fee. Mr. Locher said we would have to draft an Ordinance requiring the plumbers to be State Licensed. The concensus of the Council was that as long as the work has to pass inspection and the law becomes effective automatically when our population grow, then to leave things as they are now.
