Aye: Sauer, Stauffer, Miedtke and Haik Abstention: Sundland Motion carried. The Mayor urged the Council members who had any recommendations regard- ing legislative policies of the Association of Metropolitan Municipali- ties. to make such recommendations known to the delegates to the asso- ciation's Seneral membership meeting October 21, 1976. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Sauer to table action on the expansion of the liquor lounge at Apache for further information and recommendations from the City Manager who will make a study of the proposal with the liquor lounge manager. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Sundland indicated the willingness of Helen Lavicky to con- tinue her service on the Human Relations Committee and Councilman Haik announced her appointment of Adelle Sundland to the Committee and re- quested Mrs. Sundland receive notification of her appointment. Councilman Stauffer said the Principal of Wilshire Park Elementary School had indicated to her that he might now favor only one crosswalk for pupils across County Road D when the roadway is rebuilt because of a visibility problem at the present Highcrest crossing. Mr. Engle who is a member of the Wilshire PTSA said his committee also saw the wisdom of this action. He felt the reduction of speed and the monitoring of traffic by the Police Department had diminished the hazards to pedes= trians in the area but felt the present flasher system was less than effective. He also reported a continuance of meetings of his group with representatives of the Fosston Townhouses and the nursing home in an effort to reach an agreement on safety measures to be taken in conjunc- tion with the upgrading of County Road D. Mr. Dulgar said the City is experimenting with higher intensity bulbs in an effort to make the flasher system more effective and agreed that action taken by the police who had issued many warning citations and speeding tickets along that roadway had contributed to the reduction of speed in the area. No action was taken regarding the licenses for the Northgate Motel since no one appeared to present the requests for such licensing. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve all Verified Claims listed in the October 12th Agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Stauffer and seconded by Mayor Mied+-.;=e to approve payment of $144.50 to Twin City Testing and Engineering i.aboratories, Inc. for soil compaction tests on 29th Avenue N.F.
