LeRoy Berning was present to discuss with the Council the possibilty of Barthel having the streets in Barthel Manor blacktopped on their own, under the supervision of the City's Engineer. Barthel would like to get the streets in right away but would like to pay for the costs all up front instead of bonding for the project. It is the understanding that the project would be done under the City's specifications and that the plans would have to be approved by the City before any work could be done. It was decided to continue this discussion until the next meeting when Chuck will be at the meeting to get the opinion of the City Engineer. COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE 2 LeRoy Berning, representing the Jaycees next requested that they be allowed to add an additional softball tournament to the thier license that had been issued earlier in the year.

The City currently put $125.00 towards the retire fund and the Association would like to see it increase over a period of three years to $200.00 ($25.00/year) It was the opion of the Council that this topic should be discussed during the next budget cycle and suggested that the Fire Department bring forth the discussion at that time. There was a motion to this effect made by Gary Schwenzfeier and a second made my Don Cornelius. All were in favor and the motion carried. Cyril and Earl Beaudry were present to discuss with the Council the possiblity of donating their property on Barthel Industrial Drive to the City of Ablertville. They are trying to get their estates cleared up and would like to get the back taxes cleared up. There was some discussion whether or not the special assessments could be kept with the property if the property was sold for back taxes or does the City become responsible for them. It was requested that we' look into what options we have as a City regarding the special assessments. It was agreed that the concept of the City recieving the land had some merit, but that the issue needed to be reviewed by the City Attorney and should be carried over to the next meeting.

Maureen was authorized to attend the League of Minnesota Cities Conference in Rochester June 9, 10, 11; and 12. There was a request that a set of keys to the Wastewater Treatment Facility be kept in the office of the City Administrator, so that in the case of an emergency someone can get into the pond area. COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE 3 There was a lengthly discussion relating to the keys. Don Cornelius, Donatus Vetsch and Bob Braun agreed that they felt that a set of keys should be kept at CIty Hall. Gary Schwenzfeier did not agree. Ken state his reasoning for Maureen not to have a set of keys is that there is a badger problem and that the City may need to keep a gun on site to get rid of the problem and the number of keys should be limited. Before the key issue was settled, the council discussed the badger problem. It was agreed that it would be better to use poison to kill the animals instead of a gun, because a gun can cause more problems in the long run. It was finally decided that Maueen should be given a set of keys with the understanding that they are to be used on in the case of emergency or when a member of the Council or Maureen accompanies someone out to the site when Ken is not available. The following building permits were approved: Permit # 27: Deck for LeRoy Berning at 5669 Large Avenue-- $27.65. The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier.

Ali were The item discussed was the need to put sign up in the City park regarding "no dogs". It was agreed that Ken should order signs stating that no dogs are allowed in the park. Ken then discussed with the Council the gas tank that had been approved at the last meeting of the Council. Fie informed the Council that when checking into the tank that he found that it would be better to purchase a tank that had an electric motor instead of the hand pump one orginally discussed because it would be easlier to handle. It was suggested by Don Cornelius that maybe the City should look into installing an electric pump system instead of speading the money for the gas tank. He stated that he believed that over a - period of time the electric system would pay for itself and would be less work in maintaintaining the system. Ken state that it might also be a good idea to look at a LP heater for the building out at the wastewater treatment facility instead of the electric one, as a cost saver. There was then some discussion regarding the moss in cell three of the wastewater treatment facility. It was agreed that the Council needed to meet with Meyer-Rohlin to see if the problem can'be resolved. Another issue that needs to be resolved is the staff gauges used to measure the water flow between cells. It was requested that Gary Meyer look into who will be responsible for having the moss removed. There was some discussion regarding the graveling the tops of the dikes. It was agreed that this issue should be tabled for the time being. There was some discussion regarding the utility companies coming in to do work in the City of Albertville. It was suggested that the Utility compamanies be requested to notify the City as to when they are coming in to do work. In addition it was discussed whether or not the City could charge the companies for being allowed to work in the City. The different franchise agreements need to be looked at and the issue needs to be discussed with the City Attorney. Gary Schwenzfeier requested that the Development Corporation try to meet with Ken Barthel regarding the development of the Industrial Park.
