MAY 219 1973 73 <br /> stated that several businessmen had found it a hard thing to do. The bank seems to be <br /> more of a small loan operation. Pam Bjorum stated it would be nice to have the central <br /> business district developed before a shopping center is put up on the edge of the Village. <br /> Joe Marier said perhaps a planner could be hired to discover how the central business <br /> district could be upgraded. Don Lease stated that Hugo's businessmen should have the first <br /> chance at obtaining land for planned unit developments rather than have new businessmen <br /> come in. Gene Peltier said some businessmen who started with a huge mortgage and are <br /> finally getting it down to where they can live nicely, don't care to get another huge <br /> mortgage for remodling. According to Dan Spitzer, the Village should take the first step <br /> by getting together with the fiscal agent to discuss the possibility of Municipal Bonds <br /> to revamp the business district, at no tax levy to residents. He said other communities <br /> have done this and it worked out very well. Peltier stated that the businessmen hold <br /> their meeting the last Wednesday of each month, and the Council and public are invited <br /> to attend. <br /> Howard Kuusisto had prepared a report on the Bald Eagle Industrial Park in regard to <br /> sewer, street improvements, and drainage. A water sytem was not touched upon, but <br /> Howard said the idea of a separate water system in that area is feasible. Cost of the <br /> project is approximately $6459000 for the entire park. Howard would like the report given <br /> to the Sewer Committee for their review. Charlie Johnson said certain procedures had to <br /> be followed regarding getting a sL*wer connection in that' area, such as meeting with <br /> the Metro Sewer Board, etc. He also mentioned the Sewer Board doesn't care for spot <br /> development. <br /> Motion made by Carlson, seconded by LaValle to grant an On Sale Beer License for June <br /> 2nd and 3rd to the Hugo Slow Pitch Team, Carlson, Bjorum, LaValle for Lease opposed. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Motion made by Lease, seconded by Bjorum to have Police Chief Gunderson investigate Bur <br /> Lar mining operation.
