UNFINISHES BUSINESS:
(a) Country Club improvements - Council is working on this.
(b) Village Hall addition - Mr. Dixon stated he has not yet had
an opportunity to prepare a final written report but he moved
that this item be removed from the agenda as the addition is
neither practical nor feasible at this time, and does not warrant
the expense. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed
unanimously.
(c) Veterans' Monument - previously discussed at this meeting.
(d) Survey of installing street lights in the alleys - the Village
Manager reported that it will take 130 lights at a cost of $4, 030
a year for one light in each alley. Mayor Claussen asked for a
written report from the Chief of Police as to the safety angle.
Mr. Clement moved that we defer this for study and a report from
the Chief of Police. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed
unanimously.
(e) Drainage of 103rd St. east of 13th Avenue - the Village Manager
stated he would have a report in a few days.
(f) Community House improvements - no report.
(g) Sanitary sewer survey in areas near the bayfront - the Village
Manager reported that he is going to Tennessee at the end of the
month and thought he should stop in Atlanta to find out what federal
money would be available to our Village for planning and construction

of a sewer system. Mr. Lund moved that Mr. McCall be authorized
to stop in Atlanta for this purpose. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Dixon and passed 4/1 with Mr. Clement dissenting.
The Village Manager brought up the problem of the vacuum tube
system at the brake testing station on 17th Ave. in that it was reported to be
in need of replacing. The Chief of Police had secured two prices for install-
ation of new tubing but decided later that it could be done cheaper by using
our own help. After some discussion Mr. Clement moved that the Village
Manager get the best complete bid and have it done on week days. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Dixon and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 5:10 P. M.
