Plans and specifications for said improvement were thereafter prepared , approved , and bids for construction of said improvement received after publication of an ad- vertisement for bids, and a contract for construction of the improvement was awarded on September 9, 1968. It is presently estimated that the total cost of said improvement will be approximately $7,24,000, and it is now necessary for the Village to borrow $70,000; and for the purpose of providing such temporary financing, to issue its general obligation temporary improvement bond in said amount, under and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The Village has received an offer from the First National Bank of Saint Paul to purchase said temporary improvement bond , at par and accrued interest, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and said offer is hereby determined to be reasonable and advantageous to th.e Village, and is hereby accepted. 2 .

A motion by Kleinsasser to adopt an ordinance to prohibit the deposi- ting of snow from private property onto public property. The Village Administrator was instructed to prepare a news release explaining the need for and the intent of suchan ordinance. The explanation should emphasize the following points - 1 . Snow piled on corners and thorough fares are a traffic and safety hazard in the downtown areas . It must be hauled . 2 . The extent of the work has now become so great that the Village forces are hard pressed to get the job done due to limitations of equipment and man power in the light of other services . 2' '6 • 3 . The cost of this removal has now become a major factor and is sufficient to dislocate the now removal budget. 4. If the Village were to continue to perform this service for a few citizens, this privilege could rightfully be claimed by every single resident and place of business in Farmington. The logic of this possibility is obvious. 5. A prohibiting ordinance was preferred over a system of charges by the Village for the simple reason that private enterprize is better equipped to do the job. Seconded by Rademacher and all voted in favor. Carried .

Several specific questions were asked by both participants and audience: Question - Tooker: Does the future growth of this general area look favorable? Answer The over all plan drawn for Farmington is to encourage growth �s from this area to meet the encroachment which is inevitable from the North. Question - Rasmussen: Can the two governing bodies take this action by themselves (consolidation)? Answer ,- The law provides that after agreement to merger by both govern- ing bodies and even after the Municipal Commission writes its order; an election can be forced by a petition of 500 persons x or 200 of the voters. Question - Rasmussen: Does there exist on file records of past, mergers dealing with readings of the Commissions on split taxes or separate tax districts. Answer - None exist with the Commission since they have never had to rule on this matter. It has always been negotiated by the parties prior to the hearing for merger. Question - Rassmussen; Can the Commission set boundaries? Answer - It has always been the Commissions interpretation of the un clear law that it cannot set or adjust boundaries; I personally feel it has the authority and a bill if before the legislature to give it that authority. Question - Gorgos: In the case of merger, what about existing ordinances of both jurisdictions? Answer - The laws governing each Jurisdiction remain in force and apply separately until they are superceded, repealed, or amended by the newly constituted governing body.

Primary purpose of the meeting was to hold an offical hearing on the newly proposed zoning ordinance as prepared by Mr. Charles Tooker, Planner. Other matters, however, were taken up. Mr. Tooker presented a brief outline and analysis of the plan for the a council and the approximately 15 citizens present in the meeting. He broke the plan into four main parts: 1. ) existing land use 2. ) proposed land use (long range objectives) 3. ) zoning sections (six classifications) 4.) area-wide comprehensive patterns of land use & development. To a�question by the mayor, Mr. Toker replied that the apellate pro- cedure after appearance before the Board of Appeals included recourse to district court. The mayor cited from copies of several other villages' zoning ordinances. The discussion centered on three main issues to be decided: 1. ) the minimum lot size in the older platted area for residence 2. ) the minimum lot size in the new areas to be platted for residence and especially in cases of on-lot sewer and off-lot water. 3. ) the degree of rigidity to applied to the proposed commercial and industrial periphery especially in the northwest quadrant of maple and second street.

Respectfully submitted William J. Ford Village Administrator lh Regular Meeting April 7, 1969 The meeting was convened at 7;30 P.I ., and adjourned at 11;30 P.M- Present .M. Pre. ent were Mayor Kleinsasser, Clerk Rademacher, Councilmen Brosseth, Cox and Gerten. Minutes were read for the meetings of March 3, March 12, March 17 and March 31, 1969• Mo! ion by Cox, second by Kleinsasser, passed unanimously approving the minutes as amended. Report of the police department by Chief Klotzbeacher was accepted Report of Fire Chief, Jack Sauber was taken. In a discussion between the fire chief and the council, various methods of financing the proposed pur- chase of the new fire truck were explored. The council expressed a desire to look into the possibility of a greater contribution by the fire depart- ment from its unallocated fund in light of the high rate of interest at the present time. It was agreed that the fire chief would arrange a' meet- ing between the Mayor and the executive board of the fire department at a date to be later agreed upon. Report of the liquor store manager included information from the lst quarter operation schedule now under preparation by the accountant show- ing an increase in gross sales of the store. The manager was authorized to gather information on the possibility of setting up a branch off- sale store elsewhere in the village. This information was to be brought into the Village Administrator for compilation into a report for the Council. The council was informed that the manager had place an add for a full-time employee to replace one that was leaving. Approval was given by the council for the purchase of a new ice machine for the liquor store. Report by the Village engineer, Don Blaisdale, disclosed that a final plat had not yet been prepared by the owner and donor of the swimming pool land. This has prevented the engineer from deciding the whereabouts of the required utilities or even the streets. Although both Mr. Tillges, the owner and Mr. Herron of the swimming pool committe were in the build- ing, neither appeared before the council. It was determined that inasmuch as the proposed new zoning ordinance was not in effect, the installation of the pool would require a NUP. The mayor stated he would get in touch with the principals involved.

The license was sought for their new enterprize DBA "The Sport- sman Bar" to be located at the former site of the "Red Lion". The council instructed the petitioners to prepare a resume' and bring it to the- Village Administrator to allow background and reference checks to be made. The council agreed to hold a special meeting if necessary to allow the applic- ants to make their deadline of occupancy of April 15, 1969, assuming the check of references was satisfactory. The Village Administrator was instructed to: 1. ) Negotiate with the Minnesota State Highway department for a long- er lease of the Vermillion Park land which would justify long range im- provement to the land. 2. ) prepare a list of proposed improvement projects and capital pur- chases for the next three years.
