7 August 19, 1985 MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, that the City Clerk be directed to publish only the title and change description of ORDINANCE 1985-220. All aye. Motion Carried. 10.0 CLERK The office received a complaint regarding the possible hazard at 15978 Harrow Avenue. The house has been abandoned for some time, and no doors or windows have been secured against entry. The fee owner of the property is to be contacted and asked what their plans are for the building. The building inspector received a buildiner permit application from Joe Card for the construction of a 10' high x 20' wide basketball backstop. Because of the height of the fence, the abutting property owner is to be notified of the appli- cation. The clerk's office is to notify the Paveks of the application and re- quest that they make comment. 7.0 UNFINISHED BUSINESS The City Engineer received a letter from TKDA regarding the upgrading of County Road J (120th Street). Mayor McAllister felt the project cost of $500,000, and Hugo's portion of $70,000, was cost prohibitive. He felt we should notify them of a flat amount of money Hugo would be willing to give them, or ask that they take up the blacktop, and we will participate in making it a gravel road. MOTION: Hauer made motion, Potts seconded, that the City of Hugo will make a $15,000.00 commitment to the cost of upgrading County Road J. Howard Kuusisto is directed to write TKDA and White Bear Township stating that the $466,000.00 cost of the project is, in our opinion, entirely too much money to spend, and Hugo's $70,000 cost participation is too much and would represent 3/4's of the city's annual road budget for an entire year. Hugo will offer $15,000, and ask they consider the possibility of making it a gravel road. VOTING FOR: Hauer, Potts, Schwab, McAllister VOTING AGAINST: Peltier Motion Carried. 8.0 NEW BUSINESS The city received a proposal from Leroy Houle for the removal of the dead trees in the city park.

MOTION: Schwab made motion, Peltier seconded, to expend $380.00 to hire Leroy Houle to remove 5 dead trees from the city park. All aye. Motion Carried.
