COUNCILMAN HODGES had no report.
COUNCILMAN BAUMGARTNER stated that May 27 is the next regular
meeting of Parks and Recreation, but that Doug Bryant wants
to call this a special meeting to try to get more people to
attend and this will be publicized. Further, Jack Shields,
tree inspector, had a presentation on tree disease, with
some beautiful slides, etc. Only two people came and he was
disappointed. They plan to have another in the fall. This
should be publicized as it will be very worthwhile.
COUNCILMAN PICKAR inquired regarding the logo for the Chambers
as to what was decided. Mayor Johnson asked him if he wasn't
going to go back and see if he wanted to do further work on it?
Councilman Pickar asked what they were looking for -- do you
want me to go back and see if he has ideas? Mayor Johnson
suggested a piece of oak and Councilman Baumgartner said that
it should be discussed at the agenda meeting.
MAYOR JOHNSON stated that last Thursday applications for city
engineer were reviewed and it was narrowed down to five
people. The administrator said that the interview is set up
for May 19 at 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Johnson further stated that the city had Clean Up Day and
want to thank the Council wives and the other volunteers, i.e.
Snowmobile Club, church groups, boy scouts, girl scouts,
brownies, camp fire girls, etc.
Atty. Meyers stated that he is meeting Wednesday morning at
10:45 with the ground water engineer with an appraisor and
an architect to review the building, etc. and make some decisions
as to procedure. He will also have the appraisor look at two
parcels of land acquired in 73 -4. They should not subdivide
but sell the land as is. Further, he has been in court several
times on people connecting to sewers, so he feels we should
review our procedures on this. He has given a copy of the Dumas
assessment to the Council. Also he wants to bring the Council's
attention and the Planning Commission's attention to the
City of Blaine zoning case -- everyone assumes that B -2 zoning
allows only businesses that serve the neighborhood and the
Supreme Court has found that this is not always binding.
ENGINEER BEARDEN had no report.
Gordon Ziebarth, Chairman of the Bicentennial Commission, said
that he had a question regarding the sign -- does it have to
be approved by the Council before they publish a legal ad?
Atty. Meyers said that it is the Council's function to advertise
for bids. You are talking two weeks from today to get approval.
