A letter from Representative Neison was read explaining two bills that have been introduced in the Senate and House dealing with tax levy for the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Marier felt that a letter should be written to Rep. Neison and ask that the present tax levy they are operating under be studied before seeking more levy for that Board. Are they using the tax monies properly and are they following their charter in this use? Mr. Marier moved to itnstruct the Clerk to write such a letter. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Lyle Carpenter had written a letter protesting the sign renewal fees and questioning the inspection fees. The Clerk was instructed to send Mr. Carpenter a copy of the sign ordinance and to explain the reasons behind the inspection. The Clerk read a letter fo resignation from Mr. Ralph L'Allier who is a member of the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. McLean moved to accept Mr. L'Allier's resignation with regrets and asked that a letter of "thanks" be sent to him. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. The Clerk had received a letter concerning Flood Insurance. She was instructed to write the firm and inform them that we are working on this at the present time. There was a notice from the Metropolitan Council that hearings will be held in connection with the Rice Creek Watershed District Overall Plan. A letter is to be written asking that as part of this plan, the water levels in the lakes be established. This should be done at this time and not added at a later date. The Clerk is to request a copy of this plan, include this request and ask for a hearing. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr Marier. Motion carried. 1 1 1
