NSP will relocate them 10 feet from the property line which would put the poles five feet behind the curb. It was the Council's feeling that this would be unsightly in the front yards. NSP will relocate anyplace the Council suggests, but it will be the matter of who will pay the expenses which would be quite costly. The Attorney noted that NSP is operating in this area without a franchise and they have no right -of- ways or required easements. It was suggested to try to persuade them to relocate the poles at the back lot lines with no expense to the City.

He stated that these conditions were met and letters were written by the engineering firm and the attorneys firm and the plat was signed on July 30, 1974. A resident questioned the drainage ditch in the Red Oak Estates #2 and #3 area. Mayor Neisen stated that since we are in a law suit on this property we weren't at liberty to discuss it. She also questioned why Mr. Harstad's name had been omitted from the August 5, 1974 minutes. Mayor Neisen informed her that Mr. Harstad was not at the meeting, but it was a meeting with Architect Walijarvi. Mr. Frank Gabrish questioned when he would be assessed for the big project going in. Attorney Meyers informed him it wouldn't be until next year. MSP (Johnson- Hodges) To adjourn at 11:37 P.M. 5 Ayes Respectfully Submitted, Dorothy Sa �:'gren, Acting Clerk- Treasurer
