Mr. Paul Albretch, had been scheduled for appearance at this meeing in con- junction with his plat, but he had called to say that he is not ready for a meeting at this time and had asked to pe on the January agenda. He still is getting things worked out with the DNR and the Corps of Engineers. Mr. Karth asked if the sign ordinance had been certified and Mr. McLean said that nothing has been heard from the State on that Ordinance. The Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. Locher for information on this matter. Mr. Gourley asked if any answer had been given to Mr. Welsch on the matter of a street in front of property he owns in Nordin Manor. Mr. McLean said the Council had suggested he get a petition with other property owner's signature's and the street could then be installed and assessed against the owners. Mr. Courley asked for a copy of those minutes. The Clerk will mail them to him. The problem at the Moline Concrete Plant was discussed. There had heen no contact from that firm as to their plans for removing the materials from the street right-of-way. The Clerk was instructed to contact them again and ask for a timing schedule as to when this will be corrected. There was also discussion on the screening required. There is no screening along 4th Avenue and the ditch is nonexistent. The width of the roadway is to be checked and the cement materials must be moved. The Planning and Zoning Board would like some answer by the Council meeting scheduled for December 27, 1976.

Seconded by Mr. Hill. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Karth asked who owned the Skyline Auto Body location? Someone thought it had been purchased Central Auto Parts. Mr. Karth said it is begining to look lika a junk yard. He felt someone should contact the new owners and inform them of the rules and regulations. It was suggested the Police contact them. Mr. Kelling moved the Police Chief accompany the Building Inspector to inform them. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk had received notice of a hearing in reference to funding. There was much discussion on this matter with the Board feeling that perhaps the City is missing out on the availability of funds simply because there is no one to attend these seminars and be knowledgeable in the area of funding and what is required for applications. Mr. Reinert suggested that perhaps the City should investigate the feasibility of the smaller communities banding together and contacting someone who could serve in the capacity of a Grants officer. This will be discussed further. Mr. Gourley asked that Mr. McLean's report be included on the agenda. There was also discussion on the building at the United Tire location. Mr.
