MSP (Neisen - Pickar) To authorize Councilman Baumgartner and Councilman Johnson to contact the City of Spring Lake Park, and the City of Blaine to set up a meeting with the Fire Chief to consider the 1975 proposed fire budget. 5 Ayes Councilman Johnson stated that on September 3, 1974 at approximately 8:15 P.M., he contacted Keith Harstad with regards to the digging or completion of the ditch between Louisa and County Road H2. This is directly behind the townhouses and directly behind the homes located on the north side of Louisa. Councilman Johnson stated concern about the delay in completion of the ditch and some residents are concerned it wouldn't be put in this fall and there would be problems with spring flooding. Mr. Harstad stated the week of August 26 - 30th a cat was brought in but due to the peet, weather conditions and water table the cat was buried in peet. Mr. Harstad assured Councilman Johnson that the problem would be taken care of by September 15, 1974. He would bring in planks and a drag line if need be. He conutented that one of his men had hand dug out the ditch and he assured him unequivicably that this hand dug ditch had aleviated any problem that might be created as a result of a down pour. He said there was positive drainage from the rear of the lot south to the judicial ditch which runs parallel to Long Lake Road. Councilman Johnson again brought to our attention the final draft of the ordinance amending Chapter 91, "Animals" which had been discussed at great length at the August 12, 1974 meeting and again at the August 26, 1974 meeting and defeated.

Said training shall be established by the owner by a sworn affidavit. The special use permit may be revoked by the Council, without notice if the owner violates any of the provisions of this chapter, or for other cause. Subdivision 2, line 3 should read biannual and the pro -rated fee should be 25 cents per month instead of 50 cents and 50 cents per month instead of $1.00. Subdivision 3, second line should read biannual license. MS (Johnson - Neisen) To adopt Ordinance #221 as submitted. Councilman Hodges questioned the wording in Subdivision 13 (4) line three which states, may conduct a hearing. What criteria would be used. Some you may hold a hearing for some you may not. Attorney Meyers said if you want it mandatory you use "shall ". Councilman Baumgartner stated he would hate to put the Council in a position to determine who they would hold a hearing for , who they would not. He preferred the wording "shall conduct a hearing ". Commenting on the continuing sentence, may /shall conduct a hearing to consider the granting of a special use permit to allow the owner to work his trained dog or dogs etc. Councilman Baumgartner questioned how a person is to obtain a trained dog if he doesn't take his untrained dog someplace and train him.
