2 <br />Councilman Blanchard's Report <br />MSP (Blanchard /Hodges) To request Northern States Power to install a street <br />light on County Road I and Greenfield and midway between Bronson and County <br />Road I on Greenfield. <br />Councilman Blanchard read the following letter with Council approval. <br />Citizens of Mounds View: <br />There is apparently a great misunderstanding in Mounds View <br />in regards to our former building inspector Mr. Piehowski. <br />No one on the Council found fault with Mr. Piehowski's work <br />as building inspector. When it was determined that the inspector's <br />job should be a full time position, Chris was asked if he wanted <br />the job. He was told that the salary would approximate that in <br />surrounding suburbs for the same job. At that time his answer <br />was that he could not accept the position. Mr. Skiba was then <br />contacted and offered the job. He accepted on a 3 month trial <br />basis, but before he was actually promoted to the job, Mr. <br />Piehowski again was asked, and told that the salary would be <br />$10,000 per year. He said that wasn't enough money and refused <br />the job. At the next regular council meeting Mr. Skiba was <br />hired and Mr. Piehowski's duties and salary were discontinued. <br />Mr. Piehowski was not fired, he refused the position. Some <br />residents have taken it upon themselves to state otherwise, and <br />it is the earnest desire of the Council to set this matter straight. <br />Mounds View Village Council <br />Councilman Malvin's Report <br />Councilman Malvin spoke on the problems encountered in dealing with the <br />Highway Department in trying to get the semaphore on Silver Lake Road and <br />TH #10 functioning properly. <br />Councilman Malvin also read an article from the New Brighton Bulletin in which <br />the Onan Company thanked the Mounds View Council and staff for their excellent <br />job in providing them with information relative to the location of their plant. <br />The letter showed the extent of effort the Village Council expended in trying <br />to bring industry into the community. <br />Attorney Meyers' Report <br />A resolution declaring certain lands in Mounds View non - conservative was <br />presented and tabled. Property on Long Lake Road just South of Ardan was <br />to be studied by the Recreation Committee. <br />Attorney Meyers noted that Mounds View had been served with a notice of <br />appeal regarding the assessment role adopted October 6, 1969. <br />5 Ayes <br />
