Mr. Ray Doyle appeared before the council stating that he had purbhased lots
45 and 46 on Greenwood Drive and requested the councils procedure for authorizing a
road to be built into that property. Mr. Doyle was informed that the road had been
dedicated and rough graded but never completed. Mr. Doyle's problem of continuing
Greenwood and surfacing it in front of lots 45 and 46 was referred to the Village
Engineer for examination and submission of an estimate of cost for surfacing and
completing the remainder of Greenwood. Drive.
Mr. Edward. Gerner, 2109 Pinewood. Drive, informed the council that a blocked
culvert near his property was causing the water to back up on his lot with depths
in some places t) 31- feet. Mr: Gerner expressed concern over the possibility
of something happening to a child if this condition is allowed to exist. This
matter was referred to the Village Engineer .nd. TrusteeChristensen for action,
with the possibility of having the county clean the culvert to allow free passage
of water through Mr. Gerner's property to eventually dissipate through natural
means.
A large delegation of citizens again appeared requesting infoniation on the
progress to date in regards to the village eventually obtaining a sanitary sewer
system. Many petitions were turned in at this time to Trustee Christensen for study
and compilation. Trustee Sullivan reported that 5 engineers had been contacted to
submit proposals for a storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water study. He also stated
that no one should become alarmed because of unwarranted statements that the village
could not hook up with the Minneapolis sewer system and that when an engineer is
hired to do the survey the engineer would begin negotiations with Minneapolis in
