Acting Mayor <br />Abercrombie explained that the plan was to assess 75% against the pro- <br />perty owners with the balance of 25% coming from General revenue. <br />The cost of crankcase oil would be $140.00. The cost of oiling and sanding <br />would be about $1,200.00. The cost of blacktop resurfacing about $6,000. <br />Vera Horrigan was in favor of minimum effort. Ray Krongard thought that <br />the people living off Seventh St but requiring Seventh as an access road <br />th their street shold be assessed for any improvements. Peter Welsch had <br />a recommendation that we put in a new culvert at Sevent and Nepeta when <br />we decide to improve the street.The general opinion of all those present <br />was that since sewer is a possibility that we should keep the amount of <br />cost of i.mprovemnet at a minimum. Result was -that Trustee Ebne was instruct— <br />ed to have Marty use crankcase oil. on the gravel streets in Lake Elmo. <br />John Basler advised that the water pooled at Lake Elmo Road and 7th St. <br />and drains into his 1st and. 2nd window wells. John asked that the village <br />have a little blacktop put in this area to raise it causing the water to <br />run down Lake Elmo Road. <br />Trustee Boorman moved and Trustee Ebne seconded that any M-9)Jmr decision <br />other than oiling with crankcasO oil be withheld until the Feb.. 19'70 mtg. <br />Carried 3/0. <br />The following resolution was submitted and approved and the clerk instruct- <br />ed to send copies to County (7ommissione* Schaefer and also a copy to the <br />county engineer.
