George Gotwald reported on the meeting between Domning, Backlin, Burque,
Commissioners Johnston, Fields and O'Bannon, and himself, on March llth
when a field trip was made to determine if road construction was feasible
for a service road where 20th Avenue had been split by 35E. A meeting
between the Council, Commissioners and the Highway Department will be
arranged just as soon as possible to try and arrive at a solution.
Domning reported for Mr. Backlin that signs have been set up for 64th
Street, and that the new truck has been delivered.
Speiser questioned whether or not the low bid received last year on the
blacktopping for the parks was still good. Bingo has been discontinued
and the money in the treasury will be used for fencing around the tennis
courts and other improvements. Mr. Gotwald will check the bid with Schifsky
and report at the next meeting if the same price still prevails.

Discussion was held on Park #2 and what could be done to upgrade this area.
Several requests have been received from the Little League, from schools
and from teams who used the park areas last year to use them again this year.
Discussion was also brought up again on whether or not we should contact
Forest Lake for the possible purchase of the old school property on the
intersection of Main Street and Highway 8. Contact will be made first by
letter to see if they are interested in selling.
The Baldwin Lake Pump House area was suggested again for a park area, and
the Commissioner taking Gallagher's place, (W. J. Meuvissen) will be invited
to attend a meeting to discuss this possibility.
Ross reported he had talked to Mr. McGowan at the Forest Lake Bank in regard
to insurance rates, and he expected McGovern to attend our next meeting
with information on total coverage for the village on one *icy.
A report by the dogcatcher was discussed concerning a village resident who
was keeping too many dogs on the premises without obtaining a kennel license.
The police will investigate this matter.
Gotwald stated he had now completed going over the plans for 35W,from the
Highway Department for the one mile section of road from Lexington to
Highway 8, and recommended we approve them. Domning moved we approve the
plans per the resolution. Second by Speiser, motion carried.
Tom Anderson discussed State maintenance of some of the ditches in the
village, and an inspection will be made by the engineer's office. Mr. Ander-
son also felt that we may have a contamination problem in the village because
of Forest Lake sewage entering our chain of lakes, and the engineer agreed
to take water samples for test while doing the sewer survey.
Locher reported that considerable correspondence had been carried on con-
cerning the set up license for the "4.9" Club, and he had been assured the
County Attorney's office was attempting to get an answer from the State
just as quickly as possible.
The Building Inspector asked for a council decision on whether a building
permit should be issued on Aqua Lane, as he felt the water problems there
prohibited any building. The engineer confirmed this decision because of
lack of drainage, and the Building Inspector was instructed to issue no
permit.
Tom Anderson asked if plastic tubes and pipes could be used instead of
copper or brass for plumbing supplies. Since we comply with the State
Plumbing Code, he was advised it would be necessary to get the latest opinion
from the proper State office.
Locher reported he had not completed his research on industrial park infor-
mation, but hoped it would be ready by the next meeting or so.
Domning reported he had been approached by a private riding club who wished
to purchase land on Birch Street for their new club. The group is a nom.:
profit organization owned by the members, and is essentially an indoor
proposition for the training of show horses etc. Domning asked the Council
to make their own investigations for further discussion.
The request by Lexington for a new fire contract was discussed very briefly.
Members of the Fire Department will be invited to a future council meeting
for forther discussion.

Domning reported he understood the Feasibility Report was nearly ready,
however, there was no one present from the Utilities Commission to discuss
the contract.
Dick Anderson spoke in behalf of Little League activities and also asked
permission to use one or both of the Lino parks for practice and games.
Locher will also investigate whether it is permissible for the Village to
contribute financilly.
The Building Inspector asked for a legal opinion for splitting an acre into
two lots with the intention of building a house on the second lot. Locher
replied that if the owner built the house to rent, no platting would be
necessary, however, if he builds to sell, then the building code must be
followed and the area platted.
Voter registration was discussed, and Locher will procure materials for
discussion at the next meeting.
A question was asked from the audience about moving a trailer into the
village, to be temporarily parked on a farm. A special permit could be
issued the hardship clause of the Trailer Ordinance for two 90-day
periods. The gentleman asking the question was advised to apply at the
