DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1981
REFERENCE: AGENDA INFORMATION - DECEMBER 1, 1981
Item No. 3 - Agenda Approval
Item No. 4a - Variance/C. Bankey
Mr. Bankey has a parcel containing approximately 8 acres in Section 5;
however, the frontage is only 290'. A variance from the provisions
of Ordinance No. 8 (as amended), requiring 300'. Mr. Bankey does
not own the property on either side of the parcel for which the
variance is requested, therefore, it would not be possible for him
to increase the width to meet the requirements. Planning and Zoning
is recommending approval of the request. A resolution will be
prepared granting approval, to include the p&Z reasons for their
recommendation, and noting Mr. Bankey's inability to increase the
width of his property.
Item NO. 4b - Variance/J. Jirasek
Mr. Jirasek is requesting a variance from the provisions of
Ordinance 10, Section 14.01 and 16.03 to convey a piece of land
approximately 5' in width and running the full length of his property
(Parcel 2000) to the adjoining property owners. Also included in
this variance request is the conveyance from the adjoining parcel
(Parcel 30) to Mr. Jirasek of a triangular wedge for the purpose
of "squaring off" the property. Inasmuch as this is an exchange of
properties, only one variance to encompass both transfers was
requested. A resolution will be prepared granting approval. The
Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending approval; their
reasons for the recommendation will be shown in the resolution.
(Note: The attached map shows the property as it presently exists)
Item No. 4c - Lot Split/J. Jirasek
Mr. Jirasek is requesting approval to subdivide Parcel 2000 of:~
Auditors Subdivision 137 in Section 33. This is the parcel for
which the variance is being requested under Item No. 4b. Both
subdivided parcels meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 44.
Inasmuch as this parcel has never paid a park dedication fee,
and will not be subdivided again, it is recommended that the $100

Item No. 4c - LO~ Split/J. Jirasek (continued)
per parcel fee shall apply. A resolution will be prepared to
include the Planning and Zoning reasons for their recommendation.
Item No. 4d - PreliminaEY Plat/Lakeside Estat£~
Attached is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation for
approval pursuant to the Pre-Plat, dated November 11, 1981. At the
time the Sketch for this Plat was brought before the City Council
for conceptual approval, the indication was made of the need to
extend a north/south street from the Lake Ridge Plat. You will
note that this has been done. You will further note the property
proposed to be acquired by the Park Commission under the existing
Grant, has been exempted from the Plat. It could not be included
as a lot because of the frontage, width, etc. Two variances will
be required and will be shown in the resolution for approval.
Also included in this resolution will be the contingencies listed
in the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation of 11/16/81,
Item No. 4e - Special Use Permit/Mistelske
Attached is the Planning and Zoning recommendation for approval.
The yard for which a Special Use Permit is requested is that which
was formerly licensed to Northwest Auto Parts (G. Farrian).
Attorney Hawkins is of the opinion that inasmuch as Ordinance 8
allows for a "junkyard", the permit must be approved; and a
l~ccnse granted if all requirements of Ordinance No. 44 are met,
with all uses contained in the definition of a "junkyard".
A resolution will be prepared.
Item No. 4f - Extension/Final Plat-Hawk Ridge East
The Preliminary Plat of Hawk Ridge East was approved in June, 1980.
Due to the economy over the past two-years, Mr. Carlson requested
a "hold" on the plat in late 1980. A six-month extension was
granted on filing the Final to July, 1981 ; another extension
was given to January 3, 1982. Plans were to file the Final
before the deadline, however, the roads are not completely finished.
Ordinance NO. 10 does not set a limit on the number of extensions
which can be granted. If the Council does not wish to grant another
extension, the other solution would be the requirement of a
development contract for the remaining street work.
Item No. 4q - MSA Streets
Attached is a memorandum from the City Engineer, covering MSA
designations and authorization for release of MSA Funds. The
Road Committee has reviewed the information, as well as discussed
it with Bonestroo and Mr. Schrantz.
Item No. Sa - Ordinance No. 8 Amendment
You have received a memorandum from me, dated October 15, covering
the inadvertent omission of deleting the "junkyard" provision
from General Industrial Special Uses, at the time the ordinance
was amended to delete the "Sale or storage of Used Auto Parts".
Agenda Information
December 1 , 1981
Page 3
Item No. 5a - Ordinance No. 8 Amendment (continued)
A motion is needed to approve Ordinance No. 8N.
Item No. 5b - Ordinance No. 53/Dog Holding Time
As you no doubt have noticed, since this ordinance was adopted
our animal control costs have increased; the reason being the
ordinance requirement of holding a dog an extra day or two
when the 6th day falls on a sunday or holiday. Inasmuch as
Blaine/Midway All Pets is open on these days, it would not seem
necessary. It is recommended that Ordinance No. 53 be amended
per the attached. This could save the City up to $75.00 per
month. Mr. Wax (Blaine/Midway Manager) also indicated he may
have to increase his daily board fee to cover the additional
record keeping for Andover animals. YOu will note I have also
included cats in the amendment, as there are many months in which
cats outnumber the dogs picked up. A motion is needed to approve
Ordinance No. 53A.
Item No. 5c - Noise Control Ordinance
Attached is a letter and a proposed ordinance from Attorney Hawkins.
He feels this ordinance is necessary for better enforcement and to
aid in prosecutions. It would be my feeling that we need some
language in the ordinance to exempt City Contractors in the case
of emergencies or when they are performing a jOb that requires
24-hour duty, i.e. , dewatering.
Item No. 5d - City Insurance Renewal/1982
I have a meeting with the insurance people on November 25. The
information will be ready for the meeting.
Item No. 5e - Date/Final Budget Meeting
With the Agricultural Preserve Ordinance on the agenda for the
December 3 Meeting, there will probably not be sufficient time to
complete the Budget discussion and adopt a final, therefore,
another meeting should be scheduled.
Item No. 5f - Date/Year End Meeting
A meeting should be scheduled for December 29 or December 30 to
clear up year-end items, i.e., minutes, salaries.
Item No. 6 - Reports of Committees, Commissions
Planning and Zoning Commission
Attached is a resignation from John Scherer. A motion is needed
for acceptance. An ad will be placed in the Anoka Union and
Shopper next weeR to run for three (3) weeks.
Item No. 7 - Approval of Minutes
If you wish to approve minutes at this meeting, please refer to the
November 17 Agenda Packet. I would recommend this be deleted until year-end.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - DECEMBER 1, 1981
MINUTES
The Regular Bi-Month1y Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by
Mayor Jerry Windschitl on December 1, 1981, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685
Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota.
Councilmen present: Jacobson, Lachinski, Orttel, Peach
Councilmen absent: None
Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Staff Engineer, Jim
Schrantz; Planning and Zoning Chairman, d'Arcy Bose11; City
Clerk, P. K. Lindquist; and others
AGENDA APPROVAL
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Orttel, that the Council Agenda be approved as published
wlth the addition of 5g, Appointment to Senior Citizen Advisory Committee. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Jacobson, that we suspend the rules. Motion carried
unanimously.
'yARIANCE/BANKEY
Chuck Bankey - stated the variance is a request on the width on an 8-acre lot for which
he has a prospective buyer.
Discussion was on the request for additional road right of way. It was determined that
an additional 27 feet of easement is desired, for a total of 60 feet. Attorney Hawkins
stated that because the acreage is such that it could be required to be platted, the
City can require additional easement dedication. The additional easement only affects
the placement of the structures.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Jacobson, introducing a Resolution approving a Variance
request on lot width by Charles Bankey for an eight-acre parcel in Section 5-32-24 as
written by the City Clerk with one change: The final paragraph, second to the last line
be changed to: Claim deed for 60-foot easement from centerline along the easterly
boundary of the subject's property. (See Resolution R94-81) Motion carried unanimously.
VARIANCE AND LOT SPLIT/JIRASEK
Jim Jirasek, 4618 165th Avenue NW, represented his mother, Carrie Jirasek, 13563
Crooked Lake Boulevard. He explained the next door neighbor possesses a wedge of land
in his mother's property. The Davis' have agreed to take five feet of her road frontage
for the wedge and other consideration, which is the reason for the variance request.
Chairman Bose11 continued to explain the lot split transfers 85 feet on the southern
portion of Lot 2 to the Junkers, property owner to the south. The Junker parcel plus
the new parcel will both be served with sanitary sewer. It is Junker's intention to
combine it into one parcel because the garages sit right on the property line at this
time.
Mr. Jirasek - asked for a clarification as to what is meant that it will not be subdivided
agaln and asking for $200 park dedication fee. He felt that it places an undue restriction
on the Junkers. Because the sanitary sewer stub exists there and an 85-foot lot meets
the City codes, they may want to divide it in the future. Discussion was that there
would be an ability to get a building permit on that subdivided lot, although the
structure question would have to first be resolved privately. It was agreed to collect
park dedication fees on the newly created southern lot only.

(Variance and Lot Sp1it/Jirasek, Continued)
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, a Resolution approving the Lot Split of Parcel
2000, Plat 66093 as requested by James and Carrie Jirasek as presented by the City
Clerk with the change in the amount of the park dedication fee from $200 to $100 for
park dedication fees on the newly created lot on the southern portion of the property.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Ortte1, a Resolution approving a variance request to convey a parcel of land
in violation of the provisions of Ordinance No. 10 as requested by James Jirasek.
Motion dies for lack of a Second.
Discussion was on the request by the County for an additional 17 feet of right of way
along Crooked Lake Boulevard. Mr. Jirasek stated their attorney has been negotiating
with the County on the road easement. They have recommended that Mr. Jirasek give an
extra seven feet on the southern end of the property because the road on the north
end infringes on his mother's house and buildings.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, for reconsideration of a Resolution approving
a Lot Split of Parcel 2000, Plat 66093 as requested by James and Carrie Jirasek. Motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Jirasek stated the County has 33 feet of easement on the south end, and his attorney
ìลก recommending they take an additional seven feet. And they have petitioned the
County to give back some easement up on the north end of the lot. It is his mother's
intent to divide her property on an RLS in the future. Discussion was on the County
requirements for road easement, although it was noted that Crooked Lake Boulevard has
been improved since the installation of sanitary sewer. It was suggested that no
additional easement be required on Ms. Jirasek's property until such time as the RLS
is filed which will then have more accurate dimensions, and it will allow the Jirasek's
to continue their negotiations with the County.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, entering a Resolution approving the Lot Split
of Parcel 2000, Plat 66093 as requested by James & Carrie Jirasek as presented by the
City Clerk with the following changes: the terms for the park dedication fee be
reduced from $200 to $100 on the newly created southerly lot; and under the Quit Claim
Deed, have it read "Quit Claim Deed easement along the west property line subject to the
requirements of the County." (See Resolution R95-81) Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, a Resolution approving a Variance request to convey
a parcel of land in violation of the provisions of Ordinance No. 10 as requested by
James Jirasek. (See Resolution R96-81) Motion carried unanimously.
(Mayor Windschit1 stepped down to the audience; Acting Mayor Ortte1 chaired this portion
of the meeting.)
PRELIMINARY PLAT/LAKESIDE ESTATES
Chairman Bose11 reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval of the
preliminary plat. She also stated that all contingencies noted have been complied with
at this time.
Council discussion noted that the stub of Tulip Street outside of the plat to 153rd
is not paved, and that it would be the City's responsibility to construct that portion
of the road.
Jerry Windschitl, developer - noted that the entire stub street is not constructed.
The Englneers did not require it to be built when LakeRidge was accepted. He didn't
believe he needed a variance on Lot 1, Block 3, as the restriction of two times the
average size of the other lots applies only to sewered lots. The length between Tulip
and 152nd Lane cu1 de sac is of some controversy. According to his surveyor, the
- -.. .
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 3
(Preliminary Plat/Lakeside Estates, Continued)
length is 470 feet center to center. It is a matter of interpretation as to how the
Council wants to address cu1 de sac lengths. Chairman Bose11 stated TKDA has always
measured from the center of the road to the furthest extent when reviewing all plats.
If that way is used, the cu1 de sac is 520 feet.
Mr. Windschitl - stated he put the parkway to the proposed park acquisition land to
proVlde access, although he would have no difficulty attaching it to Lot 1, Block 3, if
the Council desired. Chairman Bose11 stated the Park Commission has made no recommenda-
tion on the parkway because the acquisition of that land has not been complete.
Councilman Peach suggested removing the word "Parkway" as shown on the plat. Counci 1man
Lachinski preferred extending 152nd Lane to the west to provide access to the park at
that location rather than the parkway strip proposed. Council discussion with Mr.
Windschit1 was on possible alternatives for a through road from County Road 9 to
Seventh Avenue in this vacinity. Mr. Windschit1 noted that there is a considerable
amount of peat to go through if l52nd Lane were extended westward to connect in the
Andover West plat. He showed other alternatives where 152nd Lane could be extended
westerly to meet one of two proposed roads in the Andover West plat, feeling it is
through better soils plus a shorter route across City parkland. Mr. Windschit1 also
explained if the Park Commission does not acquire the property in the southwest corner,
the land could stay the way it is as long as it remains in private hands. The City
Clerk verified that no variance is needed on Lot 1, Block 3.
Discussion was on the road elevations. Mr. Schrantz stated between the park area and
the cu1 de sac on 152nd shows three feet of fill over the existing land and about four
feet of peat. One of Mr. Schumacher's comments was that all street elevations be
above 872 feet. Mr. Windschitl stated that the high water level on the lake is at 866.4
as calculated by the DNR. The basement elevations are 870 feet or above. Discussion
was also on the Planning Commission's notation that the plat is subject to the Flood
Plain Ordinance in that TKDA's Engineer, Mark Schumacher made the review and found no
problems. Chairman Bosel1 stated the plat needs to comply with the Flood Plain
Ordinance dealing with setbacks, etc., but does not need to be reviewed by the DNR.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Jacobson, introducing a Resolution approving the Preliminary
Plat of Lakeside Estates as presented by Jerry Windschit1, dated November 11, 1981.
The City Council of the City of Andover hereby resolves: The Preliminary Plat of
Lakeside Estates as presented by Jerry Windschitl is approved as presented, noting a
variance on the length of the 152nd Lane cu1 de sac. Parkland pursuant to the Park
and Recreation Commission recommended is hereby accepted. (See Resolution R97-81)
DISCUSSION: It was the opinion of Councilman Peach that the word "Parkway" be removed
but the boundaries for it be shown as is. Councilman Lachinski was concerned with the
basement elevations and their relationship to the requirements of the Flood Plain
Ordinance. Mr. Windschit1 explained that the minimum elevation of a drainfie1d has to
be three feet above high water. Having a septic system at 870 feet is above the re-
quirements for State septic systems. According to his surveyor, there is a minimum
of 39,000 square feet above 870 feet in a 11 the lots proposed. The basement elevations
are also at least three feet above the known high water table. Councilman Lachinski
was also concerned with the amount of land dedicated for park. Mr. Windschit1 explained
that the calculations were based only on the acreages within the plat itself. The
proposed park acquisition is an exception to the plat and was not used for calculation
of parkland dedication. He didn't feel that the City can purchase that property for
park and still expect him to give a park dedication on it as well. The Clerk explained
that exceptions are not included in the park dedication calculations on all plats. If
that exception ever gets platted, parkland would be dedicated at that time. Discussion
noted that this particular situation has never occurred before where the Park Commission
is trying to obtain a grant to purchase parkland and that this is complying with the
Park Commission's wishes. Mr. Windschit1 stated they redrafted the plat to allow for
Regular City Council Meeting

(Preliminary Plat/Lakeside Estates, Continued)
this property to be acquired easily. If the Park Board doesn't want the land, he'd
just as soon keep the property.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Jacobson, Lachinski, Ortte1, Peach; PRESENT BUT NOT VOTING-Windschit1
Motion carried.
(Mayor Windschit1 chaired the remainder of the meeting.)
SPECIAL USE PERMIT/MISTELSKE
Irving Shaw was the attorney for the applicant, Charles Miste1ske, 1000 Lincoln Street,
Anoka, Minnesota. Also present was Richard Ah1tous, 4048 Madlson Street NW.
Chairman Bosell reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval of the
special use permit noting there was no public opposition to the application. Attorney
Hawkins advised that the ordinance as amended eliminated the sale and storage of used
auto parts in the General Industrial District; however, the junkyard or auto reduction
yards section was inadvertently not deleted where it is allowed under the General
Industrial district. Even though there is no junkyard on that parcel at this time and
even though the intent was to eliminate that use, such a use is allowed by the ordinance
at this time. He didn't feel a time limit could be placed on the special use permit
after which time the junkyard would cease to exist unless the City would attempt to
amortize all the junkyards in that area also. The use is clearly permitted under the
ordinance as it now reads. Unless it can be shown that this operation will be in
violation of some of the criteria used when considering special use permits, he didn't
believe the permit could be denied or any limitations placed on it any differently than
on other junkyard special use permits. It was also the Attorney's opinion that given
the definitions of junkyard and auto reduction yard in the ordinance, that the applicants
would be allowed to conduct all functions associated with the business, that is junking
cars, sales, etc.
The Clerk also noted that the ordinance does not require a permanent principal structure
on a parcel before it is used. Mr. Shaw noted there is a house on the site which will
be used as the office. The Mayor then noted the Council has been concerned with the
appearance and condition of the fencing on this parcel, feeling that problem should be
addressed in the special use permit.
Mr. Shaw explained that Mr. Miste1ske is the fee owner at this time. But recently he
has associated himself with Mr. Ah1tous, who will be a partner in the total business
operation. Mayor Windschit1 felt that the special use permit should specify an annual
review of the use as is done with other permits issued to allow the City to see that
the use is being conducted according to the City ordinances.
Councilman Ortte1 felt that this application is different from the rest because they
were aware that it was the Council's intent to not allow the establishment of such uses
in the City any more when the ordinance was changed. The reason the ordinance was
changed was because the junkyards had grown to such an extent that they endangered the
health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City. He felt that if it was
sincerely felt that was the case at that time, that another one can in no way be allowed
in that area. Also, the parcel is 1.12 acres; and with the land coverage existing, the
required parking lot, and the junk, he felt there would be no room for an on-site
sewage system that would be required. And that is specifically a danger to the health,
safety, and welfare to the people of the City and in no way should be allowed. It is
also a threat to that area with all the pollution that already exists there. He felt
the 39,000-square-foot requirement for on-site septic systems could be required since
it is required anywhere else in the City as well. Councilman Ortte1 stated he has also
been informed that there are giant rats living in that general area, which is also
a health hazard there.

December 1, 1981 - Minutes
Page 5
(Special Use Permit/Miste1ske, Continued)
Councilman Jacobson felt another question would be the potable water for the building.
This area is in the general area of the Superfund area, and a plat only two miles away
has not been approv=d for FHA loans because of the potential contamination of water.
He felt that would be a health and safety consideration as well. The Attorney advised
the Council it should be provided with some suitable documentation from the necessary
authorities as to the potential sewer problems, how they could be handled, if possible,
the water question, etc., to be used for a basis for granting of denying the special
use permit.
Mr. Shaw - stated that historically that particular parcel has been used for auto salvage
for over 25 years continuously until it was discontinued by Galen Farrien. The existing
structure will have a very limited use, possibly for some office use. It will not be
occupied as a residence. There will be a very limited use of the sewer facilities,
and there is an operable septic tank there now. There is also a working well there
now. So this is not a change from what has been there. It is located in the area of
other junkyards and auto salvation yards, this operation will not tip the scale as far
as this type of use, they are complying with all the ordinance requirements, and they
feel this is the only use this land is suitable for. Councilman Ortte1 disagreed with
Mr. Shaw's last statement.
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Ortte1, that the City Staff be directed to research the
question of the impact of health and safety of the sewer and water systems on the
Charles Miste1ske Special Use Permit request, and that a statement be requested from
the PCA on the impact of this request on the existing hazardous area in the vacinity.
DISCUSSION: It was felt either a legal or engineering determination on the 39,000-
square-foot requirement should be made. That requirement has been held to in all other
unsewered areas of the City. It was also requested the item be researched as to a
building not required to run a commercial business in the City, referring to the
ordinance that junkyards can be open areas. It is also intended that this information
be received and considered at the December 15 regular Council meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
Recess at 9:18; reconvene at 9:30 p.m.
EXTENSION OF FINAL PLAT/HAWK RIDGE EAST
Sylvia Britton represented the developer, Lawrence Carlson. She stated that all
constructlon work is done except for the blacktopping. By the expiration of this
extension, they will have completed all work and will finalize the plat. She felt
they would need the full six months; but if it is done earlier, they would finalize
earlier as well. She also presented a letter to the Clerk from H & S explaining the
situation.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, a 6-month extension for the filing of the
Flnal Plat for Hawk Ridge East until July 3, 1982. The extension is granted because
the Council feels work is under way in the area and is almost complete; and the reason
for the granting of the extension is because"of the continuing work. It is the intent
of the Council to make this the final extension on this plat. This extension will allow
the owners to blacktop the roads prior to the final plat being filed.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Jacobson, Lachinski, Ortte1, Windschit1; NO-Peach. Motion
carried. Councilman Peach stated his objection is the same as it was for the preliminary
plat, feeling the road layout is hazardous and confusing.
MSA STREETS
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, offer a Resolution establishing Municipal State
Aid Streets as presented in the Resolution dated the First Day of December, 1981.

MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, enter a Resolution to appropriate Municipal

Engineer. (See Resolution R99-81) Motion carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO.8 AMENOMENT/DELETE JUNKYARDS
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, an Ordinance amending Ordinance No.8, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Andover. The City Council of the City of Andover hereby
ordains: Ordinance No.8 is hereby amended as follows: Section 7.03 Special Uses,
LI and GI Industrial Districts, Strike "Junkyard or auto reduction in GI only provided
all outside storage is completely screened from adjacent streets and properties in
accordánc.e~= with Section 8.03." DISCUSS ION: The Attorney and City Clerk felt that with
this amendment, such uses are not allowed by City ordinance anywhere within the City
limits. Motion carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 53 AMENDMENT/DOG HOLDING TIME
Discussion was on Section 11 - Disposition of Unclaimed Dogs and on the pros and cons
of the poundmaster retaining the sums in excess of the City's costs incurred. Some
felt that by allowing the poundmaster to retain the excess sums, it would be an incentive
to sell the dogs and the City should be reimbursed only its costs. Others fe 1t the
entire amount should be retained by the City in an attempt to offset the high costs
the City pays overall for the impounding of dogs and cats.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, that an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 53,
adopted the 17th Day of February, 1981, commonly known as the Dog Ordinance, as pre-
pared by the City Clerk with the following exception under Section 11, starting on the
sixth line to read: "All sums recei ved for the sale of an ima 1 s sha 11 be depos ited to
the general fund of the City", then continue to the end of the section as presented.
Also, correct spellings on third to last line "licensed" and second to last line of
the paragraph, "humane 1y" .
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Jacobson, Ortte1, Peach, Windschit1;NO-Lachinski
Motion carried.
Councilman Lachinski felt it should not cost the City any money and should be reimbursed
their cost if there is any money made. But the poundmaster should be allowed the excess
as an incentive to sell the animals.
NOISE ORDINANCE
There was some question as to the enforcibi1ity of some of the sections. It was felt
the Planning Commission should hold the necessary public hearings and make a recommenda-
tion to the Council.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Ortte1, that we send to the Planning and Zoning Commission
an ordinance relating to the noise as provided to the City Council by the City Attorney
and ask for the P & Z to review and make recommendations and changes as they see fit,
and send it back to us when they are done. Motion carried unanimously.
CITY INSURANCE RENEWAL
MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Jacobson, that the City authorize the City Clerk to renew
the self-insurance program with the League. Motion carried unanimously.
DATE - YEAR-END MEETING
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Lachinski, that we set the year-end meeting for December 30
to clear up Minutes and year-end matters. Motion carried unanimously.

APPOINTMENTS - SENIOR CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Mayor Windschit1 recommended Helen Franz be appointed. Councilman Lachinski recommended
Mabel Erickson; Councilman Ortte1 recommended Mrs. Mary Sonterre; Councilman Peach
recommended Dick Schneider.
MOTION by Ortte1, Seconded by Peach, that the four members proposed for the Senior
Citizen Advisory Committee be appointed to the committee and that they be so notified;
and that the first meeting be at the City Hall, 7:30 on December 16. They will be
directed to choose a Chairman at that time. Motion carried unanimously.
It was suggested Councilman Jacobson's recommendation be Steve Nemeth on the Committee.
MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Ortte1, that we add Steve Nemeth to the Senior Citizen
Committee. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Windschit1 suggested the City attempt to trade some unfinished space in the back
of the new building which could be used for a warming house for the existing garage
area. The Mayor stated in talking with members of the Hockey Association, they are
willing to come in and finish the warming house. The Clerk stated she has discussed
the matter with the engineers.
