Those present were Don Hickerson, Dave Childs, Carol Johnson, and Connie Kroeplin. Lee Entner, Ray Nelson, and Larry Hamer (attending a building code seminar) were absent. Don Hickerson 1. The search for a new police secretary is continuing. Over 40 new applications have been received and are being re- viewed. The typing and grammar tests for the most quali- fied- of the applicants will be given on Wednesday., May 13th. • 2. The new squad car is in use and the police have indicated it appears to be just what they had ordered. 3 . A seminar relating to bank robberies will be given to St. Anthony Bank employees. Carol Johnson 1. Discussed water/sewer charges from the computer company now that we are renting a terminal as compared to their charges before we had one. At this point we are paying more for the present system. However, Mrs. Johnson said our own hardware and software for a utility billing system would cost about $5 , 100, which would be very cost effective, as the present system is costing the City about $5,900+ a year. 2 . There is a bill before the legislature concerning the optical scan voting machines which appears to be politically motiva- ted probably by the City of Minneapolis, which may require modifications to the machines (which hadn' t even been delivered yet) to the tune of about $500 each. 3 . Carol and Larry Hamer will go to Rochester to view the optic voting machine on May 19th, -which is that city' s election day. Dave Childs 1. The City has received several complaints about large trucks which are parked on residential property. Mr. Childs asked Chief Hickerson to issue "courtesy tickets" to offenders and to provide him with a list of those who receive such warn- ings.
