experienced lately in having petitioners withdraw from petitions at time of public
hearing, leaving "insufficient petitions" and thus nulli2ying the work done by the

procedure is initiated for an improvement (51$ now required).

WATERAMIN TIE ACROSS HIGHIVAY NO. 100 AT SOUTHVIEW LANE TO BE RE-ADVERTISED,
Mr. Hyde presented Engineer's Estimate of $5,142.00, based on contract awarded
at April 28th Meeting to Swanson Excavating Company; this being considerably
more than the figure of some $3,000 which he had given the Council as the
tentative cost of this tie. He asked that work be authorized because of the
necessity of having the traffic signal pressure pad repaired and Southview
Lane in good condition for opening of school next fall. Attorney Hasselquist
stated he feels that council should re-advertise for bids, inasmuch as this
tie is only a small part of the original bid and there could be repercussions
from other bidders on such an award. Tupa's motion, that award made at
April 28th meeting be rescinded and all bids rejected, and that Council
re-advertise for bid,s on "tie" portion only, was seconded by Kohler and
carried .

LAKE CORNELIA COMPANY APARTMENTS TO BE PRESENTED TO PLANNING COMMISSION .
Trustee Kohler suggested that, inasmuch as the Council and Planning Commission
have been working together very recently on a proposed "Mu1tipJ.e Housing"
Ordinance, the Commission should have the opportunity of seeing the presently
proposed Lake Cornelia Apartments before any definite action is taken by
the Council. Mr. Hyde explained that the company is meeting with the Park
Board this evening on the matter; that the Planning Commission will meet on
Wednesday, the 7th; and it was commonly agreed that Planning Commission be
asked to review plans at the time of its meeting.
