Lease reported that a complaint had been received about someone pumping effluent into the ditch in the Bayless area, but the party involved was not known. Regarding the Mc Laughlin road, Attorney Johnson stated he thinks the owner will probably build and maintain a road until the area is built up and the Village can take over.

Crever also reported that Bill Schwab had gotten up to the Bayless Addition and made percolation tests, and the Village would proably get the results shortly. Police Chief Gunderson gave his monthly report and stated the squad car will need new rear tires shortly. Also, a bigger amber light is needed for the car. Ken Granger was asked for his recommendation on tires, and he stated steel belted radial tires at about $55.00 each would be the best.

Motion made by Lease seconded by LaValle to authorize Chief to purchase an amber light for the car at a maximun cost of $25.00. Motion carried. Gunderson reported the police department had a very good turnout for the bycycle safety class and it was successful. He also stated that a Mr. Herb Davis of Lakewood College in White Bear questioned whether a student could come into the Village and learn about police work. This program is funded by the government and the student would be given college credit for his work. Gunderson said the Village should probably pay the student about; $10.00 per week of the Village money. Motion made by Carlson, seconded by LaValle to accept offer of Herb Davison of Lakewood College for one college student to work for the Hugo Police Department at a rate of $10.00 per week for the duration of the summer. Motion carried. The question was brought up of the fire equipment being kept outside the hall for three days during "Good Neighbor Days", and the Fire Chief said this would damage the hose if it rained or there was a heavy dew. The Businessmen want to hold a bingo game inside the fire hall this year, as the nights are still quite cool. Gene Peltier suggested holding the bingo in the West end of the hall and roping off the fire equipment, police office and Village offices. The Fire Chief and Businessmen are to work some solution out, since the Council stated if anything trouble wise occurs in the hall this year, bingo will never be held in the hall again. Recess called at 9:15 PM. Meeting called back to order at 9:35 PM. Attorney Johnson reported verbally on the following along with his written monthly report: Regarding John Elli; Mr. Elli wants the fence down and Johnson sent a letter to the Elli and Leroux lawyers regarding completion of this matter. He will contact Leroux's lawyer: again to see if John Elli can remove the fence himself where the cartway is located. The comprehensive plan is being reviewed; the Bur-Lar Mining Permit is being reviewed for amend- ment to provide crushing. Howard suggests the area for crushing be defined in any amend- ment. Mayor Carlson felt the Mining Ordinance was violated and Bur-Lar should be shut down as far as crushing is concerned, fined, and asked to appear before Council. Lease thought the parties involved should have a chance to know what is required before any fine being placed on them. Motion made by Lease, seconded by LaValle to have Attorney Johnson
