Councilman Neisen's Report
Councilman Neisen discussed the drainage problem in the vacinity of 2111 Oakwood
Drive. He stated that it appeared to be a private matter since no Village
easements and no Village drainage pipe is involved. The problem results in that
a private developer constructed the line and now it is plugged allowing no
drainage into our surface water drainage system on Hillview.
Councilman Neisen also announced that the street sweeping after sealcoating is
presently being done.
Councilman Johnson's Report
Councilman Johnson was informed by Mr. Meyers that Mr. Lloyd Moen has been served
a summons as a result of damage caused to our sewer main on the 8300 block of
Red Oak Drive. Cost of repair was almost $3,000.
Councilman Johnson inquired as to why our zoning ordinance required garages to
be placed in the rear yard only. Since no one was sure of the answer the matter
was referred to the Planning Commission for possible study and amendment.
Councilman Johnson read the Planning Commission minutes for September 21st.
Councilman Johnson also requested that the New Brighton Bulletin retract the
statement that the auditing firm of George Johnson was hired to audit the books.
He stated that it should have been the George Hanson Company.
Attorney Meyers' Report
Mr. Meyers reporting on the combination of the treasurer and clerk position,
stated that in his opinion it could be done simply by Village ordinance. There
was no action taken by the Council.
Attorney Meyers also reported on Chapter 842 of the Municipal Planning Code. He
stated that it appeared that Villages where subdivisions of under thirty acres
were involved had the option of taking cash or land for park purposes. In
subdivisions of over thirty acres, the option was up to the subdivider. He
stated that it appeared only residential property could be figured in the
calculation. Also to his knowledge there have been no court cases yet on the
issue.
Mr. Meyers stated that he has received an appraisal for the Silver Lake Road
proposed park property but that it would be wise to do nothing with the figure
except to include it in the bond estimate until the park bond referendum
question has been decided.
He stated that he has started a study of the municipal court system versus the
J.P. system and that he would have a further report at the next meeting.
Attorney Meyers said he did not receive a copy of the Attorney Generals Opinion
on the Community One joint powers agreement but that he does understand that it
has been declared legal.
