-2- March 5, 1976
ITEM 17. Two licenses may be of concern: Minnesota Exteriors
was previously denied for renewal, because they had not cooperated
with inspectors. Have since satisfied Wally that they should be
given another chance; recommend approval. Bud Teslow, local
resident, is a peddler of Mexican import paintings, pottery,
tapestries, etc. St. Paul has no record of his associate,
Karolyn Woog, who purportedly was licensed there. Has so far
been unable to arrange a location for his business. Recommend
table until such arrangement unless Council plans to deny anyway.
ITEM 19. Report of Administrator:
a. Messiah Lutheran Church has requested street light at 2833
County Rd. H -2. Light exists at northeast corner of H -2
and Knollwood, half block away. The request primarily provides
light for their parking lot. Have received no input from
neighboring properties. Other large property owners (businesses)
are required to provide lighting for their lots. Street light
would cost $7.05 /month. Some cities, because of financial
squeeze, have begun billing street lighting costs directly
with utility bills. Recommend Council either deny or direct
staff to survey neighbors to determine whether it is really
needed other than for parking lot.
b. Recreation program personnel job descriptions are enclosed.
Motion to approve will simply formalize the positions and
rates currently existing.
c. Public Works Director job description should be adopted by
motion and administrator directed to begin selection process,
if Council desires.
d. Proposed development agreement ordinance, enclosed, can be
carried over to another meeting. Put it into the building
permit code (Chapter 59) because that is the most inclusive,
i.e. applies to almost all developments.
ITEM 20. Adjournment at 12 midnight . . . but I'm not putting
any money on that.
2. County Rd. I traffic signal went into operation February 26.
Problem with ice in electrical conduit at H -2 so that signal will
not be in operation for another 2 -4 weeks.
3. Blaine will hold public hearing Tuesday, March 9, 8:00 p.m.,
city hall, regarding $300,000 CDBG application to improve
judicial ditch drainage system.
4. Proposed new subdivision chapter and memo explaining are enclosed.
5. League of Minnesota Municipalities' annual workshop for council

whether you plan to attend and I will send them a purchase order.
6. League annual conference is June 9 -11, Duluth. I have to reserve
rooms and make deposits as soon as possible, so let me know Monday
night whether you plan to attend. I will try to get accommodations
at the Hotel Duluth or Voyageur Motel, both of which are within
walking distance of the convention center. If you have another
preference, let me know. Radisson Duluth is sold out_
7. Received draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for 3M's pro-
