4. Presentations from the Floor.
A. Requests were made from the floor that if possible the village
secure the services of a new Electrical Inspector and a new Building
Inspector.The Council will give these requests serious consideration.
B. The attention of the Council was called to the fact that a house
belonging to Don Clark at 4135 Scheuneman Road has been abandonned
since the middle of December.The neighbors believe the house to be
on an illegal sized lot — has no drainage — tno close to adjacent
houses and should not have been approved by any building inspector
when it was moved there some ten years ago.
The Mayor appointed himself Qnd Clarence -lild to look into this
matter and report at the next council meeting.
C. The Interstate Lumber Co., requested permission to place some model
buildings ( 2 garages — one lake cottage and some fencing) on property
leased from Allen Hansen et al at the Northwest Corner of the inter—
section of Highway /#61 and E. County Rd. E. — that is — between the
highway and the Dairy. The buildings are to be of a temporary nature,
For display only, placed on conrete blocks, properly finished and with
both buildings and property well maintained.

be granted permission to erect such temporay buildings as they see
fit for display purposes, on the Hansen property at the Northwest Corner
\ of the intersection of Highway #61 and E.County Road E., for the period
of one year from this date and with the understanding that both property
and buildings will be adequtelt maintained"., All Ayes.
5. Reports of Committees.
A. Planning Committee — Members of the Planning Committee present
were Allen Hanssn,Chairman, Judson Bemis, Clarence Wild and Ray
Tessier.
Allen Hansen resigned from the committee and Judson Bemis was appointed
Chairman by the Council.
Report — The Clerk read in detail the proposal submitted by the Midwest
Planning and Research Inc, of 525 Metroploitan Bldg., Minneapolis 41,
Federal 9-8953 — Howard Dahlgren, Principal Planner.This four page
proposal titled " A Plannino Proqram for Gem Lake Village" covers the
following matters: —
A. Base Map
B. Land Use Inventory
C.Analysis of Existing Development
D. Projected Guide Plan
E. Zoning Ordinance and Map
F. Subdivision Regulations
G. Four meetings with the village
H. Costs — $30000.00 payable on a monthly progress basis, over an
estimated 12 months.
page #2 — Jan 31st 1961
Bemis spoke in favor of this project and suqgested that before
making any agreement, it be ascertained who handles the "meetings"
(he believes these are going to be very important) and if extra
neetings might be required, what same might cost. It became evident in
the course of discussion that this proposal at a cost of $31000.00
is a most economic project for Our small village.For instance, if the
village had to employ surveyors to make maps, and lawyers to write
ordinances — building codes and subdivision regulations — on a sort of
"do —it —ourselves basis" — such cost might substantially exceed the cost
of this proposal and the council and village would still be without any
well conceived overall plan on which to base decisions for the future.
The Council realized that the Uillage Budget cannot absorb this cost
of $3,000.00 but it felt that the budget could absorb one third or $1,000.
over the proposed period, and that the two thirds or #2,000.00 would
have to be secured from interested individuals on a tax deductible basis,
as has been done at Sunfish Lake.
The Mayor asked the Clerk to work with the Chairman cf the Planning
Committee to find out if these funds can be secured and report back at
the next Council Meeting Feb 21st 1961.
6. Unfinished Business from the Last Meeting.
None.
7. New Business.
A. The Minnesota Department of Health has aammstip requested that
the village appoint a Health Officer with two other individuals to
constitute a village Board of Health.
Mayor Hoffman volunteered to find a health Officer, and appointed
himself (Mayor Hoffman) and Dave Hoffman to serve as the two members.
8. Reports of Uillage Officers.
A. The Treasurer reported that the Village Balance as of January 1st
1961 was 339182.29, and that there had been no transactions put
through the books in January.
B. The Clerk submitted his annual report for the year 1960., which
was Eadamined by the council.Moved by Gray and Seconded by Hansen,
