COUNCILMAN PICKAR'S REPORT. Thursday, June 3, he attended a
meeting with the Youth Services Bureau. This will go into
effect July 1.
COUNCILMAN SHELQUIST'S REPORT. The Planning Commission is meeting
out of sequence with us this month. The next meeting is June 23.
Also he stated that he was surprised to see Mr. Frisch's secretary
taking minutes -- what agreement led to this?
Mayor Johnson replied that in his opinion it was not too disruptive
to the meeting. He hoped that Councilman Shelquist did not feel
that it was. Councilman Shelquist stated that he saw a microphone
in her purse and everything was being recorded. Councilman
Baumgartner stated that we should ask them to furnish us with a
copy of the recording. Mayor Johnson emphasized that this was
an absolute lack of courtesy.
COUNCILMAN HODGES had no report.
Councilman Baumgartner also mentioned a motor bike problem.
At 5:30 a.m. he had to call Ramsey County to ask them to stop
riding at that hour. However, he was not sure what could be done
on private property. The privilege has been abused. The admini-
strator stated that the owner had indicated that he would be
willing to deny permission. Mayor Johnson felt that it was
people from outside the city that are causing the major problem.
The administrator stated that they may be able to enforce this
from a nuisance point of view. Atty. Meyers stated that he would
like to see it posted at their expense. Mayor Johnson instructed
the staff to take a look at the problem.
ATTORNEY MEYER'S REPORT. He said that the administrator stated
that the Council is interested in reinstituting bonds for all
contractors. There should be a minimum bond of $1,000 and an
escalating bond based on the amount of gross work done within
the city in a year.
