the drainage project.
.
According to the Publ ic Works Department, chipping the compost
pile at the costs available at the last regular meeting is no
longer an option, since the company has relocated its equipment.
Ken Lindsay suggests hiring two temporary workers to burn the
compost pile. Wright County Commissioner Judie Rose explained that
the Wright County Compost facility is accepting trees and brush.
Haul ing costs coul d make that option unreal istic. Counci lmember
Berning agreed to contact the Fire Department to see if there was
interest in burning the compost pile as a training exercise. The
Council directed the administrator to check into possible options
available for eliminating the compost pile.
The cuI vert under the rai I road has been install ed and is
working as expected.
Councilmember Stalberger explained that the property owners in
Greenhaven do not want to give a permanent easement to cross their
property with storm drainage pipe. They would consider giving a
temporary easement for construction of the tile line. Stalberger
suggested that the City proceed with the drainage project staying
within the current utility easements as platted.

Agreement with Security state Bank of Maple Lake. The agreement
I imi ts the use of the property as a temporary bank faci I i ty to
eighteen (18) months. The agreement has al ready been signed by
