Councilman Blanchard's Report
MSP (Blanchard /Hodges) To request Northern States Power to install a street
light on County Road I and Greenfield and midway between Bronson and County
Road I on Greenfield.
Councilman Blanchard read the following letter with Council approval.
Citizens of Mounds View:
There is apparently a great misunderstanding in Mounds View
in regards to our former building inspector Mr. Piehowski.
No one on the Council found fault with Mr. Piehowski's work
as building inspector. When it was determined that the inspector's
job should be a full time position, Chris was asked if he wanted
the job. He was told that the salary would approximate that in
surrounding suburbs for the same job. At that time his answer
was that he could not accept the position. Mr. Skiba was then
contacted and offered the job. He accepted on a 3 month trial
basis, but before he was actually promoted to the job, Mr.
Piehowski again was asked, and told that the salary would be
$10,000 per year. He said that wasn't enough money and refused
the job. At the next regular council meeting Mr. Skiba was
hired and Mr. Piehowski's duties and salary were discontinued.
Mr. Piehowski was not fired, he refused the position. Some
residents have taken it upon themselves to state otherwise, and
it is the earnest desire of the Council to set this matter straight.
Mounds View Village Council
Councilman Malvin's Report
Councilman Malvin spoke on the problems encountered in dealing with the
Highway Department in trying to get the semaphore on Silver Lake Road and
TH #10 functioning properly.
Councilman Malvin also read an article from the New Brighton Bulletin in which
the Onan Company thanked the Mounds View Council and staff for their excellent
job in providing them with information relative to the location of their plant.
The letter showed the extent of effort the Village Council expended in trying
to bring industry into the community.
