COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 2, 1988
The regular meet~ng of the Albertv~lle C~ty Counc~l was called to
order by Mayor Loretta Roden. Counc~l members present ~ncluded Bob
Braun, Don Cornel~us, Donatus Vetsch and Gary Schwenzfe~er. Others
present ~ncluded Maureen Andrews, Bob M~ller, Bob Sullentrop, Ken
L~ndsay and Lor~e V~llareal.
The agenda for the even~ng's meet~ng was rev~ewed by the Counc~l.
A mot~on was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornel~us to
approve the agenda. All were ~n favor and the mot~on carr~ed.
The Counc~l m~nutes of Apr~l 18th were rev~ewed and a mot~on was
made by Gary Schwenzfe~er and seconded by Don Cornel~us to approve the
m~nutes. All were ~n favor and the mot~on carr~ed.
The Counc~l next rev~ewed the Jo~nt Power's resolut~on regard~ng
the $200.00 ~ncrease ~n the Water Ava~lab~l~ty Charge (WAC). It had
been clar~f~ed at an earl~er meet~ng that ~t was the ~ntent of the
Jo~nt Power's Board that these extra funds would be put as~de for
future growth to the system.
Maureen ~nformed the Counc~l that L~nda had called and ~nformed
her that the attorney for the Jo~nt Power s Board sa~d that before the
resolut~on could take effect and the ~ncrease appl~ed to the new
tlonnect~on charges that all the govern~ng bod~es would need to pass
he corrected resolut~on. It was suggested that the C~ty of
lbertv~lle s~gn the f~rst resolut~on, wh~ch does not spec~fy what the
money w~ll be used for, ~n add~t~on to the amended copy at the Counc~l
meet~ng and ~n turn each of the other Counc~ls would approve the
second resolut~on at the~r re9ular Counc~l/Town Board meet~ng. It was
po~nted out that by do~ng th~s the C~ty of Albertv~lle would not have
any assurance that the other c~t~es would pass the second resolut~on
and therefore the moneys could be used for the day to day operat~ons
of the system.
It was po~nted out that there was some concern regard~ng the new
resolut~on regard~ng the lack of clar~f~cat~on regard~ng the follow~ng
paragraph:
In add~t~on to the forgo~ng fee, the appl~cant shall pay
$200.00 for each serv~ce connect~on. Th~s add~t~onal
$200.00 fee w~ll be ma~nta~ned ~n a separate fund to be used
for future construct~on necess~tated by add~t~onal demands
on the system for new growth ~n the d~str~ct.
The po~nt was ra~sed that th~s amendment does not spec~fy what
types of future construct~on would qual~fy to use these set as~de
dollars. It was po~nted out that the language should be l~m~ted to
the expans~on of the ma~n system and not that of trunk l~ne expans~on
because as Board members change the ~ntent of the or~g~nal resolut~on
m~ght be lost.
It was po~nted out that the C~ty of Albertv~lle has a vested
~nterest ~n th~s clar~f~cat~on s~nce th~s ~s the f~rst c~ty faced w~th
~nstall~ng new water trunk l~nes wh~ch ~s be~ng f~nanced through the
C~ty and not through the Jo~nt Powers. It would be unfa~r ~f somet~me
~n the future one of the other c~t~es would request that trunk l~nes
be extended ~nto undeveloped areas at the expense of the ent~re
.stem. As a result of th~s concern the follow~ng change to the
solut~on was recommended:
In add~t~on to the forgo~ng fee, the appl~cant shall pay
$200.00 for each serv~ce connect~on. Th~s add~t~onal
$200.00 fee w~ll be ma~nta~ned ~n a separate fund to be used

system for new growth 1n the d1str1ct.
mot10n was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Don Corne11us to
to the J01nt Power's Board the approved language to the
resolut10n. All were 1n favor and the mot10n carr1ed.
.
W1th regards to the request that the C1ty of Albertv1lle s1gn the
f1rst resolut10n, pend1n9 the other c1t1es pass1ng the amended
verS10n, 1t was Bob M1ller s recommendat10n that the C1ty wa1t unt1l a
f1nal verS10n could be agreed on. Gary Schwenzfe1er stated that 1t
may be adv1sable for the J01nt Power's to have a spec1al meet1ng to
formally approve the resolut10n 1n quest10n.
Mr. Andy Sav1tsk1 was added to the even1ng's agenda. The Counc1l
was 1nformed that he had purchased the S. S189 property located
between OJ's and Don Barthel's bus garage and 1S request1ng C1ty
1mprovements wh1ch would 1nclude streets, water, sewer and storm
sewer
It was p01nted out that Mr. Sav1tsk1 1S 1nterested 1n hav1ng the
work done as part of the 1988 bond 1ssue wh1ch would requ1re the
wa1v1ng of the 1mprovement hear1ngs. It was p01nted out that Mr.
Sav1tsk1 1S the 100% property owner and 1S w1ll1ng to wa1ve any pub11c
hear1ngs.
Bob Sullentrop 1nformed the Counc1l that Meyer-Roh11n had met
w1th Mr. Sav1tsk1 and 1t appears that h1s plans would allow for the
10cat10n of the 11ft station and force ma1n to be relocated to the
approx1mate locat10n that was recommended 1n the study done earl1er
th1s year. It was p01nted out the the 10cat10n of the 11ft stat10n had
been only after 1t appeared that the C1ty would not have access1b1l1ty
to the preferred 10cat10n. Th1s development would allow the 11ft
.at10n to go 1n on the south s1de of the ra1lroad wh1le at the same
me g1v1ng the Ma1ntenance people access1b111ty to the equ1pment.
Bob p01nted out that at th1s t1me the plans would not be changed
for the Darkenwald project but that the work could be added as part of
a change order to the proJect, prov1ded that the C1ty dec1ded to go
ahead w1th the proJect.
The Counc1l was 1nformed that 1n order for any work to proceed on
the project that a call for feas1b1l1ty would need to be called for.
After hear1ng some further d1scuss10n on what would be done, a mot10n
was made by Gary Schwenzfe1er to order a Feas1b1l1ty Report for sewer,
water, streets and storm sewer by the next meet1ng 1n order to move
forward w1th th1s as qU1ckly as poss1ble. Donatus Vetsch seconded th1s
mot10n. All were 1n favor and the mot10n carr1ed.
Mr. Ray Vetsch Sylvester Barthel and Lee Kasper all res1dents
from 60th Street 1n Albertv1lle were present to d1scuss the1r concerns
regard1ng the connect10n of the Darkenwald development 1nto the sewer
l1ne on 60th Street unt1l such t1me that the force ma1n would be
1nstalled north of County Road 37. Ray Vetsch acted as the spokes
person for the group.
It was p01nted out that these res1dents are concerned about the
elevat10n of the lateral 11nes feed1ng 1nto the sewer trunk on 60th
Street and what 1mpact the fact that add1t10nal sewer w1ll be coming
1nto th1s eX1st1ng sewer l1ne. It 1S the be11ef that there are several
lots that have unusually flat laterals lead1ng from the houses out to
the ma1n sewer l1ne because of the shallowness of the same. The
Counc1l was 1nformed that the res1dents are concerned w1th the
.SS1b111ty of not hav1ng enough drop 1n the1r lateral l1nes to
otect them from a backup 1nto the1r basement 1n the event of a
ockage further down the l1ne.
Bob Sullentrop rev1ewed w1th the Counc1l and the res1dents
~eyer-Rohl~n's f~nd~ngs regard~ng th~s ~ssue. The survey team had
een out and had conducted a survey of the sewer ma~n and the most
esterly home on the north s~de of 60th Street (th~s be~ng the home
that should have the least amount of drop ~n the~r lateral l~ne
because th~s ~s where the sewer l~ne ~s the most shallow.) It was
po~nted out that at th~s locat~on the ex~st~ng sewer l~ne has a
basement elevat~on of 3.5 feet therefore assum~ng that the rema~n~ng
lots should have a equal to or greater then degree ~n drop for the
lateral l~ne.
There was add~t~onal d~scuss~on regard~ng the s~ze of the pump
be~ng used ~n the l~ft stat10n and whether or not that 1t w111 force
to much waste through the l~ne that ~s w~ll not be able to handle ~t,
caus1ng a potent~al backup. It was expla~ned that even though the
11ft stat~on was be~ng f1tted w~th two 175 gpm pumps one w111 serve as
a standby pump ~n the event that the other becomes none funct~onal.
Ken L~ndsay po~nted out at th~s t~me that the 175 gmp ~s really the
rat1ng on the pump and that typ~cally the pump w111 only run from a
couple m~nutes a hour. The eng1neer also p01nted out that the
controls that the 11ft stat10n are be~ng equ~pped w~th can be
adjusted so that they run at a lower run t1me.
It was also po~nted out that the only problem Ken remembers
hav1ng w~th th~s l~ne was a plug up caused by lack of flow rather than
to much flow. It was po~nted out by the Eng~neer that the add1t~onal
flow w111 act as self scour1ng l~ne, keep~ng the l~ne free of
potent~al bU11dup wh~ch could result 1n a backup.
Ken po~nted out the C~ty would be rel~ev~ng some of the potentlal
for problems by ~nstall~ng a basket ~nto the 11ftstat10n wh1ch w111
collect those mater~als too large to safely go through the sewer
system w~thout plugg1ng the l~ne. In add1t~on, ~t was po~nted out
that the C1ty could undertake the clean~ng and Jett1ng of the 60th
Street sewer l~ne on an annual bas1s Just as we do w~th Maln Avenue to
.duce the probab~l~ty of the l~ne becom~ng blocked. And f1nally, ~n
e event that a restaurant would be located so that ~t feeds 1nto the
a1nl1ne, the C~ty could requ1re that an approved degreaser be used as
part of a pretreatment to waste as well as not allow1ng scraps to be
1ntroduced 1nto the 11ne.
Ray Vetsch po~nted out that he d1d not d~sagree w1th the fact
that the sewer 11ne ~s large enough (8 1nch) to handle the add1t~onal
flows be1ng ~ntroduced 1nto the l~nep he aga~n po~nted out that the
major concern ~s that of the elevat~on and degree of slope to the
eX1st1n9 lateral 11nes and whether or not the C1ty would take the
respons1b111ty of cover~ng the expenses of damages that could be
1ncurred as the result of a backup. It was po~nted out that a C~ty
does not have to take the respons1b111ty for expenses ~f they can
prove that steps were taken to reduce the potent1al damages (1.e.
scheduled clean1ng and Jett~ng of known problem areas,)
At th1S t1me ~n an effort to resolve the ~ssue, Bob Sullentrop
sa1d that Meyer-Rohl1n would be w111~ng to come out and survey the
basement elevat10ns of the houses that could have problems ~n the
future, prov1ded that the survey crew could get access 1nto the
basements to do the work requ1red. The res1dents present 1nd1cated
that they would be w~ll~ng to allow Meyer-Rohl1n ~n to complete the
work, Bob Sullentrop told the res~dents that he would get 1n touch
w1th them regard~ng the date and tlme the work would be completed.
One last 1ssue p01nted out regard1ng th1S 1ssue 1S that the new
11ft stat~on w111 be equ1pped w1th an alarm system that w~ll not~fy
the ma~ntenance people of problems, Wh1Ch may reduce the chance for
problems.
No act10n was taken on th~s matter at th1s t~me, but Bob
Sullentrop w~ll report Meyer-Rohl1n s f~nd~ngs back to the Counc11 and
the property owners at the next meet1ng.
~ The Counc~l was updated on the Paul and Jane Dale~den s dralnage
problem result1ng from the fact that the~r bu~lders constructed the
house at an elevatlon that the garage floor does not have a pos1t1ve
.ope to the street. The Counc~l was ~nformed that the homeowners and
e bu~lders had completed arb~trat~on hear~ngs. It was the f~nd1ng of
the arb~trator that the bu~lders were found to be respons~ble for the
the problem and are requ1red to ~~K the m1stake ~n a method that they
bel1eve 1S acceptable to correct ~he problem.
,
The purpose for the Counc1~ s ~nvolvement ~n the matter lS that
the bu~lder st111 proposes the SQlut10n of the french dra1n to move
the water away from the dr~v~way. The Counc11 recalled that ~n
earl~er d~scuss10ns they had act~d to deny the 1nstallat10n of french
dra1n system because of the pot~nt1al problems wh~ch could result ~n
the subsurface of the road bed.
The Counc1l was 1nformed th~t 1t 1S the 1ntent of the bU1lder to
1nstall the french dra1n 1n the yard of the Dale1den s stopp1ng short
of the C1ty'S 11.5 easement w1~h the assumpt10n that the water w111
not effect the street road bed. It was p01nted that the Eng1neers are
concerned w1th the fact that beca~se water tends to take the course of
least res1stant coupled w1th he fact that the street has had new
mater1als 1nstalled that there could be a great potent1al for
substructural damage occurr1ng lover a per10d of years and that the
C1ty may not have any recourse ~or cover1ng the eKpenses 1ncurred 1n
mak1ng a major repa1r.
The Counc11 1nd1cated tha; 1t 1S st111 the1r feel1ng that a
french dra1n 1S not an acceptabl solut10n from the standp01nt of the
C1ty streets and therefore sho ld not be 1nstalled. There was some
d~scuss10n regard1ng the bU1lde , the homeowners and attorneys be1ng
at the next meet1ng of the Oounc11 1n an effort to resolve the
problem. Gary Schwenzfe1er p011nted out that unless the bU1lder lS
able to come up w1th a d1fferent ~01ut10n to the problem that there 1S
no need for them to come to the meet1ng because the Counc11 had
determ1ned that that french dr~ln 1S not acceptable. It was agreed
.at 1n the event that the bU1lderls dec1ded to correct the problem V1a
d1fferent route, wh1ch wouldl requ1re C1ty approval then the C1ty
11 need to meet w1th the bU1lder to reV1ew the plans of correct10n.
A
at the
get the
Rozempa
Sher1ff
deputy from the Wr1ght Co~nty Sher1ff's Department was present
even1ng's meet1ng. It was'suggested by the deputy that Maureen
schedule of events for Albertv11le's Fr1endly C1ty Days to Don
at least S1X weeks before the events take place so that the
s Department can do the1r schedu11ng.
The 1ssue perta1n1ng to all terra1n veh1cles (ATV s) was next
d1scussed. The Sher1ff's deputy told the Counc11 that all terra1n
veh1cles are legal to operate as long as the operator 1S a l1censed
dr1ver and the veh1cle lS properly 11censed w1th reg1stered st1ckers.
Traff1c laws must also be obeyed. The Counc11 was told that the DNR
(Department of Natural Resources) covers the requlat10ns and that ATVs
can be r1dden, unless an ord1nance perta1n1ng to ATVs states
otherw1se.
The deputy went on to say that the r1d1ng of ATVs 1S hard to
enforce and that all c1t1es have problems. Donatus asked 1f the
Sher1ff s off1ce had been author1zed to purchase an ATV to use for
enforc1ng purposes. The deputy stated that he was not aware of any
plan to purchase equ1pment 1n the near future. Donatus then asked 1f
the C1ty have rece1ved any 1nformat10n regard1ng the same and Maureen
1nformed h1m that noth1ng had come through her off1ce.
The deputy suggested that 1f the C1ty had any add1t10nal
quest10ns regard1ng the use of ATVs and the l1cens1ng requ1rements
that we get a hold of Mr. Tom Kjellberg, who 1S the conservat10n
off1cer for the County, who would have more 1nformat10n perta1n1ng to
the matter. It was the deputy s suggest10n that the C1ty
adopt an ordlnance pertaln1ng to the control of all terra1n vehlcles.
... The m1nutes should also note that a Counc11 member brouqht to the
~er1ff's deputy s attent10n that the traff1c control at acc1dents has
been lacklng, w1th the eKample glven of the fatal1ty Saturday before
on 80th Street. The Counc11 member felt that th1s matter should be
ebrOUght to the attent~on of the Sher~ff's Department and that some
steps should be taken to el~m~nate the problem ~n the future. It was
po~nted out that the lack of traff~c control prov~des an unfavorable
reflect~on on the Sher~ff's Off~ce, the C~ty's F~re Department and the
C~ty as a whole. In add~t~on, ~t opens the door for add~t~onal
acc~dents or ~nJury.
The Developer s Agreement for Braun's Add~t~on was ~ncluded ~n
the Counc~l pac~et for rev~ew. Bob Braun had no correct~ons or
problems w~th the Developer s Agreement. Be~ng there was no confl~ct,
Don Cornel~us made a mot~on and Gary Schwenzfe~er seconded ~t to
approve the Developer s A~reement for Braun s Add~t~on . All were ~n
favor and the mot~on carr~ed. The m~nutes should note that Bob Braun
absta~ned from vot~ng as th~s ~s the Developer s Agreement for h~s
plat.
The f~rst ~ssued d~scussed from the Ma~ntenance department was
the poss~b~l~ty of ~nstall~ng a new fence or some type of ~uard ra~l
system around the d~kes at the Wastewater Treatment Fac~l~ty. Ken
reported to the Counc~l that there has been dr~v~ng on the d~kes aga~n
as there ~s fresh trac~s. It was po~nted out that the Sher~ff's
Department has also rece~ved some compla~nts regard~ng the same. The
Counc~l was rem~nded that there has been trouble on all three s~des ~n
the past but was ~nformed that most of the damage ~s now occurr~ng on
the east and south s~des of the d~kes now.
At an earl~er meet~ng Ken had been asked to get ~nformat~on
re~ard~ng the costs assoc~ated w~th the ~nstallat~on of fence or guard
ra~l system. Ken ~nformed the Counc~l that ~n check~ng w~th the
County he found that they do not have short round poles ava~lable,
only square. The County's cost ~s $9.50/foot for guard ra~l and post.
The lumber yard ~n St. M~chael has 8 foot treated posts, 6-7 ~nches ~n
d~ameter ava~lable, at a cost of $8.28 per post.
e Ken has f~gured that he w~ll need approx~mately 130 posts to do
up to the f~eld and two s~des. The posts would be pos~t~oned 18-20
feet apart w~th 1 strand of w~re fence cable. Each of the posts must
have a reflector. Cable ~s ava~lable at $.20 a foot and comes ~n 800
foot rolls for the 1/2'1 or 5/8" s~ze. Cable ~s ava~lable for $.25 a
foot for lesser quant~t~es. Ken has f~gured that ~t w~ll take about
1600 feet of cable to complete the Job.
D~scuss~on also ~ncluded the poss~b~l~ty of us~ng used telephone
or power poles, however, they are expens~ve and are not treated. It
was po~nted out that the treated guard ra~l posts are State approved
and last longer.
Ken gave an est~mate of $1500.00 ~n costs plus labor. There was
some d~scuss~on about us~n~ rest~tut~on workers for the labor, but ~t
was po~nted out that the C~ty does not always get the worker and that
the C~ty would need to f~rst determ~ne what ~s "fa~r" ~n rest~tut~on
work.
It was also su~gested that perhaps we should b~d to move the
upper fence down as ~t may be eas~er to ma~nta~n and mow. Hear~ng no
further d~scuss~onl ~t was dec~ded that Ken w~ll get a pr~ce on
mater~al and ~nstal at~on costs.
Ken ~nformed the Counc~l that the crack seal~n~ ~s now f~n~shed.
Th~s year the C~ty used 3000 pounds of crack~ng seal~ng mater~al. Last
year the C~ty used 2400 pounds.
The work at the park to get ~t ready for softball act~v~t~es has
been completed.
Denn~s Fehn has been contacted for the gravel at the d~kes and
the gravel w~ll be forthcom~ng.
. Pond 3 met all the l~m~t requ~rements and Ken was g~ven
perm~ss~on from the PCA to d~scharge. Pond 1 w~ll then be transferred
~nto Pond 3 and prepared for d~scharge.
. Results of samples taken Apr~l 24th on Ponds 1 and 2 d~d not meet
the l~m~t requ~rements and w~ll have to be treated. Pond 1 came ~n at
4.89 and Pond 2 at 3.49. Pond 3 came ~n at .50 wh~ch ~s under l~m~t.
Ken asked perm~ss~on from the Counc~l to sell an old bucket that
belonged to the tractor. The C~ty has not used ~t for about 12 years
and someone would l~ke to purchase ~t. It was agreed that s~nce the
C~ty never uses the bucket, to go ahead and sell ~t for as much as
poss~ble.
Ken aga~n brought to the Counc~l's attent~on that perhaps
arrangements should be made to have the garbage dumpster empt~ed the
follow~ng morn~ng after funct~ons at the C~ty hall. There appears to
be too much garbage to f~t ~nto the dumpster and dogs are gett~ng ~nto
~t.
D1Scuss~on ~ncluded the fact that the overflow of garbage does
not happen too often and the C~ty would be charged extra for the
add~t~onal p1ck up. No act~on was taken.
The clar~f~cat~on of allowable t~me at Counc1l meet1ngs was
tabled unt~l the next meet~ng.
An update on M~ke s ~nJury ~ncluded the fact that M~ke w~ll be
see1ng h~s regular doctor th~s week. He w~ll be ava~lable next week
for l~ght duty w~th restr~ct~ons on what he can do g~ven from the
doctor.
The S~gn Ord~nance Amendment was tabled unt~l the next meet~ng.
The Sm1th Ackermann Developer's Agreement w~th PPM was tabled
unt1l the next meet1ng.
. The s~gned Darkenwald Developer's Agreement was 1ncluded 1n the
ounc~l packet for the Counc~l s reV1ew.
Bob sullentrop ~nformed the Counc1l that the WESTWIND PLAT
and the plans and spec~f1cat~ons were subm~tted to the County last
Tuesday. Some changes may be forthcom~ng.
Maureen ~nformed
rev~ew~ng the WESTWIND
of d1scuss10n regards
D1tch #9. Maureen w1l1
1S ava1lable.
the Counc~l that the County Board would be
PLAT on Tuesday morn1ng at 9:05 a.m. The tOp1C
dra~nage of the Darkenwald project ~nto County
update the Counc~l once add1t10nal 1nformat10n
Bob Sullentrop stated that the County eng1neer s off1ce also have
some concern regard1ng the dr1veways com~ng off of County Road 35 on
the Braun Add1t10n, but 1nformed the Counc~l that noth1ng had been
resolved regard1ng the matter.
The 1ncome rece1ved and the b1lls to be pa~d were rev1ewed by the
Counc11. It was brought to the Counc1l's attent~on by Ken L1ndsay to
not pay the $235.70 b~ll from Denn1s Fehn Gravel as th1s was for the
ag11me for the softball f1elds and the Park Board wants the ball teams
to pay for th1s. Hear1ng no other comments, a mot10n was made by Bob
Braun and seconded by Don Cornel~us to approve the b1lls. All were 1n
favor and checks 8660 through 8698 were pa1d.
The next ~ssue d1scussed was the vacancy on the Plann~ng
Comm~ss10n. Don Bern~ng plans to stay on for awh1le yet so there ~s
one vacancy to be f~lled.
Some d1SCUSS10n was heard about whom should f1ll the vacancy.
Both Duane Sweep and Kev1n Mealhouse are competent enough to hold the
pos~t10n. It was suggested that the appl1cat~ons should be updated and
.~he person wa1t~ng the longest should be chosen to f1ll the vacancy
nd the other person f1ll ~n as an alternate. The alternate would not
vote unless a regular member of the Comm1ss10n ~s not ava~lable to
vote.
. Don Cornel~us made a mot~on to have Duane Sweep as a Plann~ng
:omm~ss~on member and Kev1n Mealhouse as an alternate. Bob Braun
seconded th~s mot10n. All were ~n favor and the mot~on carr1ed.
Maureen s overt1me calendar was ava1lable to the Counc11 for
the1r reV1ew. Maureen commented that she w111 not come back 1n a month
and ask to be pa1d for these hours. However, she d1d want the Counc11
to be aware of her overt1me.
Cyr11 Beaudry has now dec1ded that the1r property on Barthel
Industr1al Dr1ve can be cleaned up and posted 1f the C1ty wants to do
the work. Whatever the Counc11 dec1des, Beaudry s w111 not be opposed.
There was some d1scuss10n as to when the work should be done as
th1s 1S the f1rst 1mage to 1ncom1ng people to the C1ty of Albertv11le.
A cat w111 be h1red to do the work (at an approx1mate cost of $75.00
per hour) Just pr10r to Fr1endly C~tr Days 1n June. Ken w111 order
three s1gns (at $11.00 a p1ece) that W1 I state NO DUMPING ALLOWED
to be posted after the land 1S leveled off. There was no further
d1scuss10n.
M1ke Potter had the Park Board m1nutes ava1lable for the Counc1l.
A copy of the m1nutes w1ll be 1ncluded 1n the next Counc11 packet.
Bob M11ler presented a s1gned M1nnesota Str1kers soccer ball to
Maureen.
The C1ty has been asked to donate to the St. M1chael-Albertv1lle
Sen10r Graduat10n party. Donatus Vetsch made a mot10n to donate
$100.00 to the graduat10n party. Don Cornel1us seconded th1s mot10n.
All were 1n favor and the mot10n carr1ed.
It was agreed that a letter should be sent to Hord1s Bros.
perta1n1ng to the1r del1nquent sewer b1lls.
. Donatus Vetsch updated the Counc1l on the money the L10ns have
va1lable. The L10ns have agreed to donate $10,000.00 to the F1re
Department for a new Rescue Van. The L10ns want to know what the C1ty
has 1n m1nd and see some sort of plans drawn up before they turn any
of the1r money over to the C1ty to 1nvest.
It was agreed, after hear1ng some d1scuss10n, that the emphas1s
should be put on a Commun1ty Center and not a C1~y Hall. If when 1t
comes t1me to bU1ld the Commun1ty Center 1t appears that C1ty off1ces
could be 1ncorporated 1nto the Center that 1t could then be rev1ewed
by all those 1nvolved.
It was also suggested that the L10ns be sent a Thank You letter
from the C1tr for the new k1tchen s1nk and cupboard they had put 1n at
the C1ty Hal.
Maureen was asked to contact the County Eng1neer regard1ng the
"Y1eld" s1gn that was place 1n the wrong locat10n to f1nd out when 1t
w111 be corrected, S1nce the s1gn was 1nstalled as part of the county
s1gn program.
Mark Barthel s dr1veway was d1scussed because he st111 has not
1nstalled the new curb that was removed when the dr1veway was put 1n.
As a result, the street 1S gett1ng the runoff of any wash outs. The
owners were sent a letter last fall not1c1ng them to make the repa1r,
however noth1ng was done about 1t. Maureen w111 send another letter
request1ng that the work 1S done pr10r to the t1me that the street
1mprovements beg1n.
There was no other bus1ness so a mot10n to adjourn was made by
Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornel1us. All were 1n favor and
the mot10n carr1ed.
