An answer from Mattson Building and Supply Col, stating that they would have to go through a complete estimating procedure to give us an exact amount on what it would cost to replace the Hall, which would be expensive. However, we could estimate that building costs have increased about 8% since then. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to get the cost of the extra billing if we increased the insurance coverage on the Hall by 10 %. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Clerk's report cont'd. 3. Note from League of Minnesota Municipalities that copies of the new 1971 Supplement to the Handbook are not available at $3.00 each.

Letter dated May 9th from the Ramsey County Open Space Systen on a pro- posal for a site south of County Road J adjacent to Otter Lake Mr. Bohjanen noted that we had sent representatives to the meeting in White Bear Township this evening on this. Mr. Marier said that Mrs. Brisson and His wife had gone to the meeting. Mrs. Swanson said she hoped that the meeting could have been cancelled; Mr. Bohjanen noted that it was the Board's regular date. Clerk's report cont'd. 5. A letter from Lorenz Bus Service stating that they were cancelling two of their bus runs in Lino Lakes due to lack of passengers. 6. Approval by State Department of Health, dated May 10th, on plans and specs submitted by Suburban Engineering for water mains in Chomonix South. 1 1 1 26 5/22/72 7. A waste survey questionnaire from the Metro Council on disposal of pumpings. of cesspools and septic tanks. Clerk asked for assistance in answer ing some of the questions. Mr. Marier felt that this should be laid aside for the Council to look over, but that the Clerk should answer as many questions as she could. Mr. Al Fisher of the Anoke Soil & Water Conservation District presented the completed photo - mosaic soils map with an overlay indicating various soil limit- ations by color code. He answered questions from the council and presented a booklet from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculutre on the meaning of the map symbols, pamphlets on soil and water, and introduction to this material, as well as a transmittal letter from himself, and the bill for his office's work on the map. Mr. Fisher inspected the bill from the company which had done the base map and said that it was correct. Mr. Fisher stated that his office was available for further interpretation, and that he would be willing to come to committee meetings or meet with our consul- tants until we get familiar with the map; there is no charge for this service. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Fisher how he derived the colors. Mr. Fisher proceeded to go through the various colors and explain what building could take place on each. He noted that the types of soils were determined by using augers and that the various soils have different colors. He commented on methods being used by other communities to enbale them to use wetter soils for building on. Mr. Fisher stated that these maps were begun in the 1930's to determine the best land use for farmers; colors were added for urban development. Mrs. Rodney Youngbaur, on the agenda to request being allowed to operate a beauty shop in a home in a residential area, stated that she and her husband had bought land on Old Birch St., but won't build a house until they are sure that she can have the beauty shop. It was noted that two beauty shops were previously allowed in homes without a special use permit, but this was before the zoning code was adopted. There was considerable discussion. Mr. Beens felt that it was up to the Council to decide if beauty shops were to be includ= ed under the definition of "professional" offices which are allowed in homes. It was decided that Mrs. Youngbauer would have to apply for a variance to the zoning code; she was advised to see the Clerk for the proper forms. Mrs. Youngbauer's variance request was put on the P & Z agenda for June 21st at 9 P.M. and the following Council meeting at the same time. Mr. Cardinal reported that he had checked with Roy on the backstop, and it will be installed in Sunrise Park near Sunrise AVe. and Glenviw. Mr. Cardinal stated that, although there was no Park Board meeting this month due to lack of a quorum, Mr. Johnson had brought in plans he had drawn up for enlarging the warming house at Sunrise; bids are being taken on this project. Mr. Cardinal noted that Mrs. Swanson had brought up at the last meeting the fact that Mr. Hawkins had reported at the Environmental Commission on the Park plan brought in by Mr. Burman. Mr. Cardinal said that he had talked with Mr. Hawkins on this and Mr. Hawkins stated that he didn't- -say anything at the meet- ing about what Mr. Burman had said; Mr. Hawkins had only talked to Mr. Torkild- son. Therefore, there was nothing reported on the County Park plan at the Park Board meeting from Mr. Burman. Mr. Cardinal stated that at the last Watershed Board of Managers meeging they had adopted rules and regulations. The canoe trip has been scheduled for 8:30 A.M. on June 3rd. 5/22/72 Mr. Cardinal noted that we wouldn't have enough work _painting. the bleachers to keep the County men busy all day. He felt that one man could paint them all in less than one day. Mr. Marier asked if the men could put up the fence; Mr. Cardinal thought they could if someone supervised them. Mrs. Swanson asked who would do this supervising. Mr. Bohjanen said that we would, but Roy is only here until 1:30 in the afternoon. Mr. Cardinal felt that the fellows doing part time work for the Village in the cold winter months should be allowed to do some of the work in nice weather. There was more discussion on this with it being noted that there must be some other work for the County men to do such as road building. It was decided that Mr. Jaworski should contact Mr. Redipenning on scheduling the County men to do the painting after Mr. Cardinal noted that he has no phone available during working hours to call the County. Mr. Marier asked if the letter had been sent to the County on our position on their Park porposal. Clerk said she had sent it last week. She was asked to make copies of the letter for all members. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Cardinal if he was done with his report (for the second time), and said that she thought he would like to mention that he had a Park Board meeting Monday night. Mr. Cardinal said he thought he had mentioned that they had a meeting scheduled, but they didn't have a quorum. He had shown Mr. Marier's park proposal to the members who did come. The hearing on the final plat of Chomonix South, Second Addition, was called to order at 9 P.M. Mr. Marier noted that the P &Z had postponed their hearing until June at the request of U. S. Lakes Development Co. Mr. Marier moved to continue the hearing on the final plat of Chomonix South, Second Addition, to June 21st before the P &Z at 8:30P.M. and on June 25th before the Council at 8:30P.M. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Cardinal moved that the hearing be closed at 9:05P.M. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Bohjanen to pass on to Mr. Jaworski from the P & Z the matter of County Road 84 being used by Acton Construction; this is posted for 9 ton in Acton's area and at 5 ton the remainder of the road. The road doesn't seem to be constructed for that weight and becomes a real problem each spring. P &Z felt the County should be contacted to see why there is a difference in limits. Mr. Marier reported that all members had been present at the May 17th regular P &Z meeting except Mr. Winjecki and Mr. Hill. Jim Bratland (Brede Inc.) was present to disc uss sign permit No. 20 for access; he had stated that he would work on the problem and give us an answer in one month. Mr. Marier reported that Ken Rehbein's variance request was approved by the P &Z but since Mr. Rehbein wasn't in the Council audience he wondered if we should delay this until the next meeting. Mr. Marier noted that there had been a question on drainage at the P &Z hearing. Mr. Gotwald's February 15th letter was read, and Mr. Marier stated that Ken Rehbein had complied with the County Health Board's requirements and had agreed to make necessary .changes. Clerk stated that Mr. Rehbein had adked her if he had to be at this hearing since there were no questions unanswered at the P &Z; Clerk had told him that in that case, probably not. 1 1 1 1 267 5/22/72 There was discussion on whether a person had to attend both hearings on a variance as a matter of procedure. Mr. Bohjanen felt it was unnecessary if there had been no objections at the P& Z. Mr. Beens read from Ord. No.56, Sect.5.05 C., that petitioners shall appear before the P &Z; it doesn't say they shall appear before the Council. Mr. Marier wondered whether persons requesting a variance realized they would waive their total input if other questions came up. Mr. Cardinal recalled that in the past we didn't require them to show up at the Council hearing and that Mr. Locher had made this clear. Mr. Bohjanen said that if there were no questions or objections on Ken Rehbein's request we would act on it. Mrs. Swanson said she had questions to ask. The Clerk was sent to Call Mr. Rehbein to appear. While the Clerk was out of the room, Mr. Marier reported that a Bill Leonard had requested extending 64th Street east to his property; this was held over to the June Meeting. Fran Burque had been advised to submit a plat and survey for his plans for 100' x 150' lots on the west side of 35E. Mr. Marier noted a correction in the P &Z minutes on Fran Burque: "Centerville" should be changed to "Lino Lakes ". A Mrs. Kohler had appeared before the P &Z asking for procedure to build a home on Mound Trail; she had been advised to have percolation test. If that was satisfactory she could get a building permit. Nor variance was needed since they had decided to buy a 2 1/2 acre parcel. Clark returned to the Council chambers after reaching Mrs. Rehbein who would send her husband to the meeting. Mr. Marier reported that the Robert Wilson property along Lake Drive had been discussed again as he continued to haul in more fill. Mr. Myhre reported that. Mr. Wilson has 10 Acres, that he has 2 trucks, a car and 3 horses in the pole building which he put up. Mr. Cardinal moved that since Mr. Wilson has horses in the building, he needs no permit to put it up, and that we drop the whole matter and have the County check out the fill which Mr. Wilson is putting in there. Seconded my Mr. Marier. Motion carried with Mrs. Swanson voting No. Mr. Marier reported that Donald Lundgren had requested a variance on a piece of land less than 2 1/2 acres and less than 150' of frontage. However, Mr. Lundgren had agreed to add 30' to the frontage to makeit 150'. Mr. Lundgrenn came forward to initial the change in the legal description to accommodate this. There was some discussion. Mr. Marier moved to grant to Donald Lundgren a variance to Ordiance No. 21A on a parcel less than 2 1/2 acres in size described as follows: Beginning at a point 538 feet from the. SW corner of SE 1/4 of SE 1/4 of Section 33, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota; Thence East 150 Feet along the South side of said Quarter; Thence North 200 feet; then West 150 feet; Thence South to the point of beginning. Also, that the Clerk - Treasurer be provided with a photocopy of the filing papers after said parcel is properly filed at Anoka County. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Marier reported that Alvin Roetman had appeared at the P &Z for a variance to divide land to provide for ^a roadway into the back part of his property. The P &Z had denied his request since the property-was not on a dedicated road, and there was less than 66' which would be put in for a roadway. Mr. Marier moved to grant the P &Z's wished to turn down Mr. Roetman's proposal for a roadway. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. 5/22/72 Mr. Marier reported that the P &Z wished to change the wording of the sewer regulations adopted on April 24th regarding percolation tests and submitting site plans to them. The sentence will now read "Percolation test required to be submitted to the Village Engineer'. The second sentence of that paragraph is to be omitted in its entirety. Mr. Marier noted that it was a mistake on his part that the second sentence had been included in the regulations. Mr. Marier stated that the P &Z had held a discussion on who was to do these perc tests. Mr. Gotwald had felt that it put the Village engineering firm in a bad position to state that they must perform the perc tests. Also, they have a two -week backlog on this sort of work, so that persons can't make the deadlines. Mr. Marier felt that the regulations should read that the tests can be done by the Village Engineer or any certified engineer. Ken Rehbein had arrived and the discussion returned to his variance request. Mrs. Swanson asked how are we going to control the drainage problems that may come up with additional building on the site, and will the person buying this have to comply or come before the P &Z. Ken Rehbein wondered what drainage problems she was talking about, noting that there was no problem . on the parcel he wanted the variance on. He stated that nothing can be done on the other parcel until it comes before the P &Z and Council again. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Rehbein if he intended to sell the larger parcel as he had a sign up; Mr. Rehbein noted that the for sale sign didn't mean anything, that in his business they sell if the price is right. He stated that there should be more than 1 building on 3 acres, and they don't want to mortage the whole piece for that onle building. He noted we should cross 1 bridge at a time, there may be sewer in Lake Drive before something else is put up; he had nothing in mind now for the other parcel. There was more discussion. Mr. Marier moved that we concur with the Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation to grant a variance to Ordianance No. 21A to Mr. Kenneth REhbein, for mortgage purposes, to split a commercial piece of land at Main Street and Old Highway 8 into two parcels having the following legal descriptions: A. That part of the NW 1/4 of Section 9, Town 31, Range 22 described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of said NW 1/4 with the Northwesterly right of way line of (Old U. S. Highway 8) ; then north along said West line, , Anoka County, Minn,,. the West line of County Road 23, a distance of 305 feet; then East at the right angle, a distance of 64.12 feet; then southeasterly to a point on said Northwesterly right of way line of County Road 23, said point being 300.00 feet from the point of beginning; then southwesterly along said right of way line to the point of beginning. B. That part of the NW 1/4 of Section 9, Town 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minn. lying northwesterly of County Road 23 (Old Highway 8) excepting therefrom that part of the NW 1/4 of Section 9, Town 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minn. described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of the West line of said NW 1/4 with the Northwesterly right of way line of County Road 23 (Old U. S. Highway 8); then north along said West line, a distance of 305 feet; then East at a right angle, a distance of 64.12 feet; then southeasterly to apoint on said Northwesterly right of way line of County Road 23, said point being 300.00 feet from the point of beginning; then southwesterly along said right of way line to the point of beginning. with the stipulation that it be noted that here could be some drainage problems in that area if a building should be constructed on Parcel B. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal Carried unanimously. 269 5/22/72 Mr. Marier stated that Jerry Rosengren's money, was being held towards the work on the house he moved in and wondered what progress had been made. Mr. Gohjanen said that he had talked to the Building Inspector today, that Mr. Dupre had checked the palce twice, and that Jerry had adked for 30 days extension to complete the work. There was discussion. Mr. Marier read the November 8, 1971 minutes on the subject and said that 90 days would have been up about February 8th, so he has had more than a month extra already. Mr. Marier noted that such items should be put on a tickle file for reference. Mr. Beens noted that Ord. No. 6 says that building permits expire in 90 days unless work is in "actual progress'. Mr. Marier moved that we send a letter to Jerry Rosengren asking him to report on his progress at the next Council meeting (June 12th). Seconded by the Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mrs. Swanson reported on the Enviromental. Commission held Thursday night, no- ting that the Council has received Report #3 from Mr. Hawkins; she read parts of the report. Mrs. Swanson said that the Environmental commission had discussed the Robert Herbst gravel pit where people are dumping garbage, swimming, and doing many other things. They felt that the area should be declared as open space since it has unique characteristics. Lake Amelia would provide a buffer zone, and this would tie in with the Ramsey County open space proposal south of County Road J. Mrs. Swanson said that the Env. Com. had finalized their wetlands ordiance and would like the Council to act on these items. They also felt the Council should take field trips to the gravel pit area. She had been told there were no homes in that area. Mr. Cardinal stated that at one time he had noted that the gravel pit area should be fenced off as it would keep the dumping down. There was discussion on possibly putting signs up and liability in. case of drowning. Mr. Bohjanen didn't feel we could do anything as the gravel pit was private property. Mrs. Swanson noted that "Parks" should be changed to "Open Space " in Mr. Hawkins letter. Mr. Bohjanan asked if the Environmental Commission had suggested filling in any areas on the park proposal map. She said they had, and had taken into consideration the Ramsey Plan. Mr. Marier felt that the Commission should have drawn in changes on the map showing their input, and if they would do so it would take care of writing a letter. Mr. Marier noted that the Park Board and the P &Z were expected to draw in their park lines on hte proposal and come up with something less than he had proposed. Mrs. Swanson noted that she did say that the Commission would like to cut back on the map and that she had recommended. to them that they participate in the Watershed District Board meetings on a rotating basis. Mrs. Swanson asked i f the. Council should be a committee or should form a committee to keep us informed of what the County is doing on park procedings and on drainage problems that always seem to be acute at the beginning of the year, that is ditches and cleaning culverts. Mr. Bohjanen noted that we usually contact the County Engineer on any problems. Mrs. Swanson felt there must be some monies set aside for the County to use to work with the villages. Mr.Bohjanen said there was money on County ditches and roads. There was more discussion on this. Mr. Bohjanen said he was willing to look into the matter and see if we can set up such a committee. Mrs. Swanson stated taht the Environmental Commission needs guidelines to keep working; otherwise there is no reason for them to keep meeting. Mr. Marier felt they should be constructive. 270 5/22/72 Mrs. Swanson asid that the Envirnomental Commission has asked that the Council adopt State Laws NO. 8481 through No. 8489 on snowmobiles so that we can get the proceeds from the violations. Mr. Bohjanen asked how many snowmobiles the police had ticketed last year; Mr. Myhre said they had caught two. Mrs. Swanson said that she had contacted the snowmobile clubsand asked them to come to Council meetings which they haven't done; she felt we should adopt these laws. There was discussion on this. It was noted that it would be expensive to enforce the law, and that we can't catch snowmobiles most of the time; then we do, we can prosecute them under the nuisance ordiance. Mrs. Swanson moved to adopt No 8481 through No.8489 of the State laws pertaining to snowmobiles. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Roll call vote showed all members voting No. Motion failed. Glenn and Clyde Rehbein objected to the vote on the snowmobile laws noting that the matter had been settled some months ago, and that the Council shouldn't act on something this important without some prior notice to the public. They were told that Mrs. Swanson was just following the direction of her Board and that a motioncan come up at any time. Mrs. Swanson said that she was asked to obtain application forms for the Personnel Commission to look at. She had called a meeting for the group on last Monday, and didn't get a quorum, and then was surprised to find out that the Mayor had sent notices for a Special Council meeting on hiring a policeman on Friday night. She noted the following; 1. Although the matter had been resolved on Friday, she thought that the procedure on hiring policemen as laid down in the League Handbook should be followed. 2. Since the Personnel Commission didn't follow that procedure she didn't report on their recommendation. 3. Urgency had replaced qualifications, but it shouldn't be that way. 4. The: Personnel Commission minutes should have shown what questions were asked and if the applicants passed the phychological test given by Mr. Myhre. 5. She had told the Commission that their procedure was inadequate and incomplete, so that this couldn't be classified as a legal vote. 6. She didn't get the whole information from her colleagues so she had a right not to report their decision. 7. The minutes didn't say the man was hired to be trained, which he should be, since we are putting a raw recruit in a police car and a blue uni- form, and giving him a gun. 8. The minutes should have shown a resolution giving all the details such as wages," probation, etc., which they don't do, but only give his name. 9. She had contacted 5 different police departments and the State and this is not the way to hire a policeman. 10. The League Handbook is our Bible, and if we can ltt go by it we should throw it out. 11. Older members on the Council should have known the proper procedure and she waited for them to follow it. 12. The Council had thought nothing of spending $60 or $80 for the Clerk to improve her speedwriting, but couldn't spend $50 for civil service tests for someone who will serve the Village to find out if he is qualified or mentally sound. 13. She was happy to hear that the Mayor planned to do something about correcting the procedure, but wondered if the 4 men we have hired might not take tests or something. 14. She had given almost 6 months of her time to see that the book is followed. 1 1 1 271 5/22/72 Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Beens if he knew if Mr. Locher had gotten a letter back from Mrs. Wilhelmy's attorney. Mr. Beens said no. Mr. Marier reiterated that the letter was to be returned this week on which set of stakes we should go by. Mr. Beens said he thought the letter was written by Mr. Locher but that he was not sure if Mr. Locher had gotten a letter back. Mr. Marier said that it has been 2 weeks since this was asked for, and that we should have correspondence back in 2 weeks. The clerk asked the Council to set the priorities on whether the minutes or the correspondence should be handled first after a meeting. Mr. Marier said she should set her own schedule, but get the work done, noting that the minutes are written for history but the tasks must be done. Mrs. Swanson asked if a letter wasn't sent to Chomonix on the park dedication, and if we didn't get an answer back. Mr. Marier commented that Mr. Locher was not here so we don't know. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he had attended a joint Metro Council and Metro Sewer Board meeting in Fridley on their proposed 5 year capital improvements program. The Lino Lakes - Centerville line was discussed, with the Staff feeling that it should be delayed at this time and the various housing projects might be served with interim plants. They also feel that Centerville could be hooked to an interim line to the Forest Lake interceptor. It was concluded that nothing will be done until they get the engineering study done that was finalized on May 3rd. It was also noted that there are 4,300 people in the Lino Lakes - Centerville area; if the project is put in service it would have cost $90 per capita per year or $460 per family per year. Mr. Bohjanen said they discussed guidelines and 5 year programs. Each year a new 5 year program is adopted which drops the first year in the previous pro- gram. It is possible no lines will be started without Federal funds; they are working on their 1973 budget. If a line is determined to come under the defin ition of a Metro benefit, then the entire 7 county area would pay for the major- ity of it. Changes are being made between the Metro Council and the Metro - ,Sewer Board, but they are closer than they were a couple of years ago. There was some Council discussion. Mr. Bohjanen had received a bid for towing of cars and light trucks from Bill's Auto Repair. After discussion, it was decided to wait for 2 more bids before acting on it. Mr. Bohjanen noted that in regards to the letter to Columbus on maintenance of Pine Street, their Board has signed the letter, but it had not been returned yet. The Clerk read the Police reports for April. Mr. Marier asked if any progress had been made on the apprehension of the burglars in the recent residential burglaries. Mr. Myhre said they had caught one person, noting that it isn't our area, and that quite a few groups are working the area, these coming out from St. Paul. They commonly kick the door in and drive their car in the garage. Mrs. Swanson asked if the County came up with fingerprints; Mr. Myhre said No. There was discussion with Mr. Bohjanen asking if implementing a marking system would help. Mr. Myhre said the Civil Defense Director is working on this and it would be coordinated with other agencies throughout the nation; he noted that Blaine is having trouble getting people to come in and mark their stuff. Mr. Bohjanen said he will try to get this implemented with the police using 2 or 3 sets of marking equipment for household property. Any- one with suggestions on this should let the police know. Mr. Cardinal felt that a sign should be hung out by the driveway saying "items are marked on these premises 5/22/72 Mr. Myhre said that a tag is put on all entrance doors to the House. The Clerk had made a list of the freeway sign permits which were up, not up and if applied for renewal. There was discussion on the State's program to remove freeway signs which will cost taxpayers money. Mrs. Swanson said she did not wish to see any more signs in the Village. Mr. Marier noted that we could not act on Sign #20 until Mr. Bratland comes in with some answers on the access. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize those signs which are up and in place -and _paid for back to the date of expiration. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Vot: Aye -- Cardinal, and Bohjanen; No-- Marier and Swanson. Motion failed. Mr. Marier moved that we take all the permits on signs that are not in existence and return the renewal money with a letter that the signs will not be permitted in Lino Lakes. Seconded-by Mrs. Swanson. Carried. Mr. Marier moved to accept the applicants of present permits with signs up for one more year of the date of expiration. Seconded by Mrs. Swanson. Carried. Mr. Marier stated it was okay to send out expiration notices on signs which are up, as they expire. Clerk stated that she had received no applications for the Deputy Clerks Job. Mr. Marier moved to extend the advertising for a Deputy Clerk for one month or until the Friday before the second Council meeting in June, with the ad to be run in the North, Northeast and North St. Paul sections of the Sun papers, as well as in the three local papers, and also put in the League magazine. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mrs. Swanson noted that the Personnel ., Commission had inquired on the Deputy applications thinking they would be meeting soon to analyze them. Mrs. Swanson wanted to know what the Council was going to do about a motion made a couple months ago on an audit report on the bill for Chomonix (Marvin Rehbein). She thought it should be done by an outside auditor or engineer, and asked if it were going to follow through. Mr. Bohjanen said that we will have a check on this and if we are not pleased we will get outside figures or have the Attorney and Fiscal AGent get involved to see if the construction job was carried out. Clyde Rehbein asked if it wasn't the purpose of the Village Engineer to check on the work done, noting that he isn't the engineer for Chomonix. Mr. Bohjanen told Clyde that even though he had an interest in this, since he isn't a resi- dent of the village he shouldn't take the floor anytime he wished. Glenn Rehbein stated that the Village has an A torney and an Accountant to audit the books and he didn't think we have to have another engineer to check on engineer. There was discussion. Mr. Bohjanen said he didn't think that it was pre- determined that we would have another engineer check this, noting that we still have plenty of balance from the bond sale to pay this. Mr. Caardinal said that he understood that Mr. Gotwald would go over the bill and come up with the figures on how much money was spent and how much was left. Mr. Cardinal noted that he was confused by Mrs. Swanson's statement on spending taxpayers' money on this as he understood that Jandric was paying for the whole thing (construction). Mr. Marier said that was the intent of the bond issue, but if Jandric doesn't have the money when the bonds come due, then the Village will be responsible for refinancing those bonds since the Village wrote the bonds and it is our responsibility to meet them; if we could get the money it would be all right. Mr. Cardinal noted that there was $50,000 in the bank to pay for this. Mr. Marier stated that the bonds come due in 2 1/2 years. 2 3 5/22/72 Mr. Marier stated that he had moved that we look into the total job (sewer construction) which we will do. There are some varations to look into; he didn't know if there will be another engineer. Glenn Rehbein told Mr. Marier that he was putting himself in the Mayor's chair. Mr. Marier said that the motion had passed unanimously. There was more discussion between for two men. Mr. Bohjanen noted that the bill would be finalized before the final payment. Mrs. Swanson said she was talking about the next to the last payment, which is the major payment. Mr. Marier noted that the final bill isn't here yet.
