MARCH 59 1973 auto salvage or junk yards from Mr. Norm Horton. Neither of the men has a junk dealers license. As an office for his business, one of the parties, Mr. John Imre, has an 8' trailer parked on the property with no license to do so. Jerry Dube started his rport on Streets & Roads by indicating the need for load restriction signs to be posted on Village roads. He suggested having a patroling system and weighing possible offenders in at the Hugo Feed Mill. Motion made by Carlson, and seconded that Council adopt Resolution # 17, providing load weight limitations. Motion carried. Motion made by Carlson, seconded by Bjorua to authorize Street & Road Superintendent to purchase up to 50 load limit signs not to exceed a cost of $500.00. Motion carried. Dube also reported there have been incidents lately of people digging trenches across village roads, thus creating traffic hazzards. He suggested Chief Gunderson speak with property owners doing the digging. Jerry had recently taken out a medical insurance policy with American Family Insurance, and thought he was covered last weekend when his son had an emergency operation. The company told him they won't pay, as the operation was not the result of an accident. If this is the case, Dube would like to drop the policy. He's to investigate further. Dube brought up the question of a radio system again, and wanted a vote from the Council. Mayor Carlson was against getting a system as it wasn't in the Budget. Bjorum didn't think it would be beneficial now that winter's over, but it could possibly be worked into the next year's Budget. LaValle agreed with Pam and said if there's $1000.00 available next Fall, a system might be purchased then, otherwise it could be put into next year's Budget. Motion made by Lease, seconded by LaValle to table radio request indefinitely. Motion carried. The Building Inspector reported that Clyde Rehbein had pled not guilty to preliminary charges regarding his not having a building permit. The matter will be heard in court shortly. Mr. Rehbein was informed by Attorney Johnson of his need for an occupancy certificate, and has not yet replyed. Crever to investigate, Mrs. Bayless appeared before Countil again regarding the inability of a couple she sold land to to get a building permit. The bt1lding inspector said Mr. Schwab and an expert from the Soil Conservation Service investigated the land and felt a permit should not be given until after the Spring thaw. Mrs. Bayless questioned whether all property is checked as hers had been. She felt this was discriminatory. Recess was called at 10:10 PM. Meeting called back to order at 10:25 PM, Regarding Starmold and Grace Development letters of authorization, they were found by Attorney Johnson to be not quite correct. These companies are to be notified suggesting cash deposits now, or agreements to pay for legal and engineering costs within the year. It was noted that Engineer Kuusisto found that 130th Street is not an accepted roadway.
