Minutes of Regular Council Meeting. September 28+ 1959 3 ~ Attorney&s Report: Mr. Courtney stated that he had spent considerable time with Mrs. Patterson in regard to the Patterson matter. as she feels the turnaround easement will unduly penali~e her property.

Mr. Carley to check with her. ~ Mr. Courtney stated that on the Kranak bond there are no specifications attached to the bond and no time of completion has ever been set for finishing the roads in Shorewood Hills #6. Mayor stated that we ao have in the official minutes of the Village a request that he furnish us with a bond and complete the roads upon Council request and that the specifica- tions are in the ordinance. No action was taken on matter. Attorney courtney presented the Clerk's office with a letter regarding the purohase of the Village Hall from the Village of Mounds View, dated Sept. 25, 1959. The Hall now belongs to Arden Hills with all papers in order. Mr. Courtney said that the Joseph Besch matter poses a serious questiopas to who has responsibility for covering him as he was an uncompensated Eivil Defense worker. It could be Ramsey County, Ramsey County Civil Defense or the Village of Arden Hills. The attorney advised that the Village handle the matter under the provisions of Seotion 176.191 of the MinD.eota Statutes. He felt that the Village should not acoept responsi- ~ bility as if we do. our workmen's oompensation premiums will go up beoause the rate will reflect all Arden Hills Civil Defense volunteers. He feels that the Village should let the Industrial Commission decide responsibility. He suggested that the village deny the claim and let our insuranoe oompany undertake the defense. The Industrial Commission is willing to handle Besoh's defense in order to avoid a charge to anyone for attorney's fees. The Council felt that compensation benefits should be made available to Mr. Besch as soon as possible. The Council recommended that Village attorney notify our insurance oompany and Ramsey County of their position on the matter according to attorney reoommendations. Mr. Weber Jleported that Mrs. Besch has been in need of ready oash and two Civil Defense members have advanced her $300.00. The Arden Hills Police Department and Civil De#ense Unit are sponsoring a drawing on a TV set whioh they hope will raise $1.000.00, the proceeds to be turned over to her. Dr. Watz suggested that if the Village is to cover their Civil Defense ~ Unit under their own insurance policy that a specific distriot or area be set up where this unit will be covered.
