-9- <br />COUNCILMAN HODGES had no report. <br />COUNCILMAN BAUMGARTNER stated that May 27 is the next regular <br />meeting of Parks and Recreation, but that Doug Bryant wants <br />to call this a special meeting to try to get more people to <br />attend and this will be publicized. Further, Jack Shields, <br />tree inspector, had a presentation on tree disease, with <br />some beautiful slides, etc. Only two people came and he was <br />disappointed. They plan to have another in the fall. This <br />should be publicized as it will be very worthwhile. <br />COUNCILMAN PICKAR inquired regarding the logo for the Chambers <br />as to what was decided. Mayor Johnson asked him if he wasn't <br />going to go back and see if he wanted to do further work on it? <br />Councilman Pickar asked what they were looking for -- do you <br />want me to go back and see if he has ideas? Mayor Johnson <br />suggested a piece of oak and Councilman Baumgartner said that <br />it should be discussed at the agenda meeting. <br />MAYOR JOHNSON stated that last Thursday applications for city <br />engineer were reviewed and it was narrowed down to five <br />people. The administrator said that the interview is set up <br />for May 19 at 7:00 p.m. <br />Mayor Johnson further stated that the city had Clean Up Day and <br />want to thank the Council wives and the other volunteers, i.e. <br />Snowmobile Club, church groups, boy scouts, girl scouts, <br />brownies, camp fire girls, etc. <br />Atty. Meyers stated that he is meeting Wednesday morning at <br />10:45 with the ground water engineer with an appraisor and <br />an architect to review the building, etc. and make some decisions <br />as to procedure. He will also have the appraisor look at two <br />parcels of land acquired in 73 -4. They should not subdivide <br />but sell the land as is. Further, he has been in court several <br />times on people connecting to sewers, so he feels we should <br />review our procedures on this. He has given a copy of the Dumas <br />assessment to the Council. Also he wants to bring the Council's <br />attention and the Planning Commission's attention to the <br />City of Blaine zoning case -- everyone assumes that B -2 zoning <br />allows only businesses that serve the neighborhood and the <br />Supreme Court has found that this is not always binding. <br />ENGINEER BEARDEN had no report. <br />Gordon Ziebarth, Chairman of the Bicentennial Commission, said <br />that he had a question regarding the sign -- does it have to <br />be approved by the Council before they publish a legal ad? <br />Atty. Meyers said that it is the Council's function to advertise <br />for bids. You are talking two weeks from today to get approval. <br />
