Bonding is presently required in Mounds View and Mr. Zepper has found it extremely difficult to get bonded because he has not been in business seven years, which is a major require- ment. Also, if he were able to meet the requirements, he would have to post $343 for the first $1,000 bond. Mr. Zepper stated he had called 35 communities at random from the telephone book and that only five require licenses, 12 require permits, and only St. Paul requires a bond. Mr. Zepper asked that the City Council check into the bonding issue. Acting Mayor Hodges stated that the City Council should check into the issue. Admin. Achen stated that Mr. Zepper would not be able to work until he either was bonded or until the City took action on the issue, and that he could have information available for the Council at the next meeting if they wanted to wait that long. Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he could not make a decision on the issue during this evenings meeting but that it should be discussed. It was decided that the bonding issue would be discussed at the next City Council meeting. Carol Ziebarth, 5150 Bona Road, expressed concern to the City Council of a possible water shortage for the coming summer and asked that the Council consider enforcing water restrictions for the City of Mounds View, i.e. alternate days for watering lawns, to get ahead of any situation that might arise.
