MAX 'f, 19Y5 " I Police Chief Gunderson started his report by stating there had been an armed robbery at Carpenter's Steak House on April 20, 1973. Officers Ted Peltier, Don Lelle, and Chief Gunderson went to the scene of the crime and disarmed the gunman. Gunderson had prepared written awards for honorable mention for Mr. Peltier and Mr. Lelle, which were read aloud and presented to the men by Mayor Carlson. An award was also given to Mr. James Fisher, private citizen, who left the bar and notified the police of the crime taking place. The Chief also reported five arrests had been made in connection with recent burglaries in the Village. As the Police Department is to have a bicycle safety class for school children in the Village, Gunderson asked the Council for an appropriation of $20.00 to have school safety certificates printed. Motion made by Lease, seconded by LaValle to authorize Chief Gunderson to spend not more than $20.00 to have certificates printed for the children. Motion carried. Motion made by Bjorum, seconded by Leroux to authorize two firemen to attend the 98th annual Firemens Convention in Detroit Lakes June 7 through 109 1973, at a regidtration fee of $20.00, $25.00 per day, plus 9¢ per mile. Motion carried. It was stated by the Fire Chief that there had been some illegal burning going on at the Norm Horton property. Engineer Howard Kuusisto then gave his written report to the Council and explained various items to them such as: Barton Construction Co. Mining Permit is being worked on, Right of way for Everton Avenue is in the hands of the Village Attorney, and the engineering report and feasibility study for the Bald Eagle Area is being completed. Howard also had a list of computations pertaining to quantities and cost of dust control for Village roads. Regarding the problem on Foxhill and 148th Street, Howard had called the White Bear Lake School District and found out that there is a possibility of rerouting school buses to Freeland Avenue. The question came up as to whether Dave Lindahl had an expired building permit or not. The Building Inspector, Tom Crever stated Lindahl had moved his trailer in before he had gotten a mobile home permit to begin with. He furthermore had not done work on the building site for 120 days,w•hich is against the building code. Attorney Johnson read a letter received from Mr. Lindahl, and he agreed with Tom on the matter. He said Mr. Lindahl is in violation of the building code as well as the mobile home ordinance. Motion made by Bjorum, seconded by LaYalle to have Deputy Clerk send letter to Lindahl informing him he is in violation of the building code and mobile home ordinance. He is requested to appear before the Village Council on May 219 1973. Motion carried. Street and Road Superintendent Jerry Dube reported that he and the Engineer had taken a trip over some of the township roads and indicated on a map areas that need immediate attention. Dube also reported that there are a few problems regarding culverts which should be aleviated. There is a problem on the Kerry Court Road as heavy trucks are ruining it. The road should be packed or rolled, as it never was brought up to standard to begin with. Mayor Carlson suggested taking Marvin LaValles's time from mad situations and putting more responsibility on Jerry Dube's shoulders. Lease stated Jerry should be informed of what is expected of him, and he would like to table the matter for the time being. Howard Kuusisto reported matters regarding the sewer are in good shape, and the public hearing will be held on May 89 1973 at 7:30 PM at the Hugo Elementary School. LaValle wanted to -know if objectors could postpone the project, and Howard said "no, the decision is up to the Council."
