. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bartlett then proposed several changes in the original plans for the car wash which he felt would result in greater energy saving. He proposed that the exterior facade should have a Corning fiberglas finish rather than conventional masonry having become convinced the new process was superior in regard to moisture resistance and its insulation properties. Because this is a compara- tively new process, Councilman Haik said she was concerned with its permanent bonding qualities and wanted it understood that it would be the owners ' responsibility to replace the exterior if the building should become unsightly from cracking. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Sundland to indicate acquiescence with the block bond design proposed for the Buetz car wash with the understanding that if peeling or cracking occurs, the owners will have to repair the exterior of the building. Motion carried unanimously. Also to save energy Mr. Bartlett said three of the washing bays will be lowered which will result in one section of roof being approximately two feet higher than the other. No Council action was deemed necessary for this proposal . • The Council then considered the August 4th request from R. D. Dircks , Chairman of the Board of Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. , that the City' s sewer line on Lot 5 be relocated to an easement to be provided by N.S.P. to the north to allow the approved expansion of the Berger building on 37th Avenue N.E. Mr. Dircks was present and reported a letter of confirmation from N.S.P. would be received the next day. He requested the City vacate its Lot #4 easement when this agreement is received. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Haik to ap- prove the vacation of the City' s easement on Lot 4 , Block 8, Mounds View Acres Second Addition, contingent upon N. S.P. 's approval of the purchase of the 15 foot easement on their lot line on which the ex- isting sewer line may be relocated. Motion carried unanimously. Because Hennepin County has notified the City they do not intend to move their library facilities from their location in the St. Anthony Shopping Center, Council members agreed that some positive action should be taken to find a tenant for the unused portion of the old city hall. Mr. Fornell was directed to seek a tenant whose operation would be compatible with the heavy traffic generated by the City liquor store • and with whom an arrangement could be made for the necessary renova- tions of the building.
