these concerns and questions from residents, we are not on every street every day of the year. Some potholes develop, sink holes develop, and particularly sink holes are dips that are uncommon in the middle of the road are very important to us, because that means that there is something wrong with the infrastructure below that. In this case,we did go up and televise that sewer system the next day and did find that there were some more cracks in places where the pipe had actually been displaced. The contractors who repaired that originally came up and repaired it again, and they were up there for quite some time last Friday night, at no charge to us. David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road. Mr. Jahnke has just a concern about the expenses and accountability of the City now with a truck for the golf course. Mr. Jahnke stated he has a problem with the golf course. Mr. Jahnke has had a problem with the Bel Rae going from 4 to 6 million. Mr. Jahnke is concerned that now we are getting a new truck, or supposedly a new truck. Mr. Jahnke is very concerned about cost of things that the City owns. Mr. Jahnke requested the Council take a good look at these costs. It is the peoples' money that you folks are spending. Mr. Jahnke was shocked at the attitude of telephone calls. Mr. Jahnke stated he has never heard of somebody, companies allowing making telephone calls,personal telephone calls from their business on company time, and have no track or accountability of it. Mr. Jahnke stated a lady had called him today and she could not believe your comment about, "yes, it might cost more to investigate it." Mr. Jahnke stated we should stop this. Mr. Jahnke stated we should t! be accountable for the people that work for us. Mr. Jahnke was shocked to hear about the telephone calls. It might be minor, but if all these minor things go on,then the major ones are going to take place also. Mayor Coughlin stated these will be discussed later on in the evening. Jim Schmidt, 5446 Erickson Road. Mr. Schmidt stated it has come to his attention that during the next year or two, T.H. 10 is going to be turned back over again to a County State Aid Highway, as construction of 118, and 69, gets completed. Mr. Schmidt stated from what he understands it is going to happen fairly abruptly when that one gets done that the State is going to want to redesignate the road and we will have some say in what happens with accepting that back. Mr. Schmidt stated he wanted to bring that to the attention of the Council that there is an opportunity here where we can get some things that are needed in the City that have been identified in the plan as well as redevelopment plan for Highway 10 that we could probably get some monies from the State and definitely work with the County to get that road at least in good repair and to some extent configured more to our liking as a City, and particularly also there is an opportunity with cooperative agreement that starts between now and runs through October, or fiscal 2001, where monies can be made available and Mr. Schmidt would encourage the City to -! I look into that to see if there is anything that can be addressed, because that is going to happen about that same time. Dan Mueller, 8343, Groveland Road.
