Crane also stated that JOIE if the plan was approved at the election the
would become the fourth Trustee whoever was elected. Upon call of roll all
voted aye, motion carried.
Clerk Smith also stated that he would like to see the sewer propositi "-.
placed on the ballot at the December election and so moved which was secor:_
by Malvin. Smith stated that he felt the people of the village should have
a voice in this as the issue had been discussed quite frequently and is of
great concern to most citizens in the village.
Mayor Crane stated that at the sewer hearing on October 17, 1960 the
question of sewer on the ballot came up and it was his opinion that the
petition system would be better. The sewer proposition could be placed on
ballot later when the council had a firm proposal to present to the people
instead of the present time when it is still undecided.
Trustee Christensen stated that he felt that putting it on the ballot
was not necessarily the most Democratic way because that people in the
where sewer is not necessary would vote against it ma and that a fairer
would possibly be by petition.
Clerk Smith then stated that the Arsenal has given a proposal for a
contract with Arden Hills Village and this village at the amount of $1,00"
a month. Smith felt that a new council could possibly contract with sews_
disregarding the people's wishes and that this is the reason that the pecy:
should be able to voice their opinion by vote at this time.
Mayor Crane stated that the $1,000.00 a month charge by the Arsenal
would not include maintenance, which the Village would be expected to do.
He also questioned what wording could be used on the ballot to present thl:
i ssuet.
Clerk Smith then stated that this could be in the form of an advisor:-
balloti in order to obtain the feklings of the people and he felt that a:__
year would be too long to wait as far as the people in the Pinewood, Sun::.
and other affected areas are concerned.

Smith and Malvin, aye, motion lost.
