residents, led by Mr. Richard Dahl, 6215 Halifax Avenue, objected to the moving
of'older homes into the neighborhood, stating that the house proposed to be
moved does not fit in with the homes now there.
the to-be-moved home, Mr. Hite reported that this house is not an old one, that
tt is one of the homes which the Planning Commission has recommended for removal
to any part of the Village.
Council is powerless'to prohibit the moving if the dwelling complies with the
zoning-and building requirements of the Village. Mr. Dahl then objected to
the moving of the house, now, on the grounds that Mr.* McClellan's replat has
not yet been finally approved. Mr. -Hike reported that Final Replat will be
presented at the first December meeting.
an connection with the foregoing moving Iiearing, members of the delegation
complained on Mr. McCl'ellan's general operations, as follows:
That he is still storing heavy equipment on his premises at 6201
Peacedale, in defiance of the Village Zoning Ordinance.
That from time to time he is pumping his sewage 'down the driveway,
making it impossible for neighbor to use his kitchen entrance because of the
bad'odors engendered. This particular complaint was made by a lady wkio stated
*this operation has been going on for some time; but that she has been afraid
to complain because-of threats made to her two small children by Mr. McClellan
at one time. "
Insofar as moving of the house is concerned, Mr. Dahl asked that, if possible,
Council require landscaping, and all things necessary to make the house as
attractive as can reasonably be expected, and safe for occupancy.. The matter
of the bond required for house moving was explained; and Trustee Kohler moved
that request for moving permit be tabled pending filing and approval by Council
of Final Plat, and that the Village Manager be directed to investigate the
other complaints herewith registered. Motion seconded by Dickson and carried.
Audience was informed that this action does not necessarily mean that the house
will not be moved but that it does mean that Council will know that plat is in
order before dwelling is placed on this property.

BROOKVIEW HEIGHTS FOURTH ADDITION Pm-LIMINARY APPROVAL DISCUSSED--NO ACTION T&EN ,
Although this matter was not on the agenda'for this meeting, Attorney Hosmer Brown,
representing Mr. E.C. Stow, reported to the Council tkt "Brookview'Heights 4th
Addition" had received the Preliminary Approval of the Village Planning Commission
at its November meeting "subject to receipt of information on proposed land use
of the unplatted land in this parcel"; that the plat had not been presented to
Council for its approval at the November 9th meeting. Protesting that the
developer does not know, at this time, what he expects to do with the unplatted
portion (some 20 acres); that he may not even control it at the time it is
platted, Mr, Brown protested any delay in approval which might stem from the
Commission's requirement for such information, Mr. Stow expressed himself as
"not being able to understand why the plat should be brought before the
Conmission, now, without any advice to him that it was going to be presented."
Be told the Council that the plat 'had been presented, first, in 1951; that the
then Planning Director had brought it before the Commission again just before
he left, that it had been approved by the Commission then and had been brought
to the Council for approval, Mr, Hite explained that the plat. had been presented
to the Planning Commission's Movember meeting at the request of a Mr. Jim Halver-
son; that it is the Planning Commission's custom to endeavor to ascertain the
useage of surrounding properkles.before approving plats; that, after Commission's
action he, Mr, Hite, had called Mr. Halverson about the matter; that plat was not
brought to Council attention on November 9 because of Council preference that
they not be asked to c'onsider "subject to" approvals.
plat and the remaining acreage is now all in one parcel, under one ownership;
that the remainder is not too desirable for residential building.
statedthat his only purpose in appearing, tonight, is to advise the Council of
the problem beforehandst, and to state that to make Wr. Stow responsible for what
is going to happen to happen to the unplatted property when he may or may not be
in control is a rather unusual policy.- Mr. Kohler stated that while he feels
that it is wise of the Planning Commission to investigate the use of surrounding
property, insofar as possible, before approving any plat; and that he feels it
the responsibility of the Commissi'on so to do, he does not feel that the Council
can legally withhold permission taplat Pending receipt of such information. Mr.
Stow seemed surprised to learn that the plat had not been re-presented soleiy ac
the request of Village officials; and there was no action taken on Mr, Brown's - *
report. '
He explained that the

hand in the Temporary Improvement Fund, to pay and retire said Temporary
Improvement Bonds,-Series A and B, and for the purpose of paying the cost
of the additional improvements described in paragraph 2, in anticipation of
the collection of special assessments levied therefor, the Village has
authorized and contracted for the sale of definitive Improvement Bonds in
the amount of $1,000,000, subject to further terms and conditions as here- I
inafter stated. The full faith and credit of the Village shall be and are
hereby irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal
of and interest on said bonds. Said bonds shall be primarily payable from
the Improvement Bond Redemption Fund created by Ordinance No, 14, on a
parity with improvement bonds heretofore issued pursuant to said ordinance,
but if the moneys in said fund should at any time be insufficient to pay
all principal and interest due on such bonds, including this issue, the
Village covenants and agrees that it will provide sufficient moneys to
restore such deficiency in the manner set forth in said ordinance. The
special assessments and taxes heretofore levied and appropriated-to the
Improvement Bond Redemption Fund,' together with the cash balance now on
hand in said fund, are estimated to be collectible in the years required
and in the amounts sufficient to produce sums very substantially more than
5% in excess of the annual amounts of principal and interest to become
due on all Improvement Bonds payable from said fund, including the issue
herein authorized. Accordingly, no tax is presently required to be levLed
for the payment of principal and interest on this issue, under the provi-F
sions of Minnesota Statutes 1957, Section 475.61, However, the obligation
of the Village is expressly recognized and affirmed, to levy a tax upon all
taxable property within its corporate limits, without limitation as to rate
or amount, if found necessary for the payment of such principal or interest.
The definitive Improvement Bonds to be issued pursuant to the
contract of sale heretofore entered into by the Village shall be issued in
negotiable coupon form, designated as "Improvement Bonds of ,1959", and dated
as of December 1, 1959. Said bonds shall be 1,000 in number and numbered
from 1 to 1,000, inclusive, each in the denomination of $1,000, and shall
mature serially in the amount of $100,000 on June 1 in each of the years
1960 through 1969, provided that each and all of the bonds maturing in the
years 1961 through 1969 shall be subject to refemption and prepayment at
the option of the Village, at par and accrued interest and in order of
their serial numbers, on the first day of June or the first day of December
immediately preceding their respective stated maturity dates.
than 30 days prior to the date specified for the redemption of any of said
bonds the Village Treasurer shall mail notice of the call thereof to the
holder, if known, and to the bank at which principal and interest are then
payable, and said Treasurer shall maintain a record of the names and ad-
dresses and serial numbers of holders of prepayable bonds, so far as such
information is.made available to him, for the purpose of mailing such
notices. The bonds of said issue maturing in the years and bearing the
respective serial numbers set forth below shall bear interest at the re-

reviewed Judge Burris' report of November 23, advising of the resignation of Mr.
Stephen Gleason from the position of Court Clerk (salary $312), the promotion of
Mrs. Dorothy Frazier from Clerk of Violations Bureau to Court Clerk, and
appointment of Miss Kathryn Beard as Clerk of Violations Bureau. Mr. Burris
asked that the salary of Miss Beard be established at $275 per month for the
balance of 1959, $285 for 1960, for a 40-hour work week; that Mrs. Frazier's
salary be established at $262 for remainder of 1959, $275 for 1960, on basis
of a 2/3-40 hour work week. He also asked for payment of $73.80 to Mrs. Zona
Miller for her services during the time between Mr. Gleason's resignation and
Miss Beard's appointment.
noted that an additional appropriation of some $2,800 has had to be made to
cover Court expenditures in 1959; and it was the unanimous decision of the
Council that, in accordance with Council direction to all Department Heads,
Judge Burris be advised that, despite Council sympathy with his problems in
this growing department, he must arrange to keep Court expenditures within
the Budget appropriated therefor-for both the balance of 1959 and all of
1960; also, that personnel relations within the organization would be improved
if the salary of the Court Clerk were in line with the hourly rate paid other
department secretaries.

report--had had no knowledge of its preparation--prior to this presentation, Mr.
Hyde asked that Council delay any action until such time as he and Finance
Director Dalen had had an opportunity to study it. Mr. Hyde told Council that
the presentation comes as a distinct surprise to him inasmuch as it was his
opinion that this matter was to have been discussed by Messrs. Zikan and Dalen
and himself before it came to Council for consideration. He told Council he
sees nothing wrong with the report, that it has been'well prepared and, on this
cursory examination, contains many good points, but that he feels Mr. Zikan was
wrong in taking this method of approach--that in the interests of orderly council
meetings and operations the Manager should be informed in advance by his depart-
ment heads concerning all matters to be brought before the Council. Mr. Zikan
admitted he should not have submitted the report directly to Council. Finance
Director Dalen reported that the State Public Examiners have recommended, time
and again, that no service department make a profit--that, without a study it
is impossible to tell whether this would be the case, should engineering fees
be increased 2%. Some discussion was had on the report, in respect to
"consultants vs. full-time village-employed engineers", and action was delayed
pending further study and recommendation by the Manager.

element of people-those who would naturally gravitate into apartments;

into consideration in recommending the rezoning of this comparatively small tract.
