Members Present: Forslund, Rowley, Hodges, Ziebarth, and Mayor McCarty. Also Present: Attorney Meyers and Clerk/ Administrator Pauley. The regular meeting closed at 7:33 P.M. The public hearing opened at 7:33 P.M. The Council was advised by Public Works Superintendent Decheine on October 20th that the City's front end loader had developed engine problems indicating a need for a major overhaul or replacement of the piece of equip- ment. Council had asked for further informa- tion before including this item in the Revenue Sharing Budget. Superintendent Decheine was present at the meeting and notified the Council that the cost for rebuilding the engine and other repairs would be approximately $9,200. The City's mechanics would be doing the labor for this project. Decheine indicated it would be difficult to predict how long the piece of machinery would last after rebuilding the engine. Mayor McCarty noted that in the case of heavy equipment, repairs of this nature would increase the longevity of the piece of machinery and it would be more cost efficient to repair than to replace. Administrator Pauley noted that he had received some quotes (not bids) for a new front end loader and the cost would be somewhere between $50,000- $90,000. He also noted that there was sufficient monies in the water fund account that could be borrowed until the Revenue Sharing funds were received next year for the repair or purchase of the front end loader.

Mayor McCarty noted that Council had no objection to this. Mr. Odle reviewed Attorney Meyers' letter to the Planning Commission (dated 10- 14 -80) citing several codes that specified requirement of a 5' setback. Mr. Odle noted that he felt a large part of the letter did not relate to his specific request. Attorney Meyers noted that this letter was written in response to a request from the Planning Commission asking him to determine if a 5' setback was required according to current codes. Mr. Odle then noted to the Attorney that he felt the Attorney's original comment about the enforceability of the requirement had been that it would not stand up in the court of law. Attorney Meyers clarified this for Mr. Odle by indicating he had not referred to the enforce- ability of the requirement, but to the enforceability of a criminal conviction if this requirement was not complied with. Mr. Odle then noted that the Planning Commission had not granted his variance, and he was appealing this to the Council. Mayor McCarty noted four variances granted by the Planning Commission in 1977 had two instances very similar to Mr. Odle's request. 5. APPROVAL OF 10 -14 -80 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES 6.

Councilmember Hodges suggested Mr. Brager include in his packet of information for new residents notification of the night depository box available to them. Councilmember Rowley complimented Mr. Brager on the extra time and effort he and his staff spent on the budget preparation activities. Mr. Kremers noted that the city engineer had stated in his letter of 10 -23 -80 that an easement would not be necessary by the proposed ponding area since there were no structures to maintain. Mr. Kremers felt that, if he was required to instal the easement any way, he would, but he felt he should not have to make a cash deposit (bond). Attorney Meyers noted that Res. 983 11.
