Present were — Mayor Hoffman,Trustees Hansen,Arcand and Gray, Treasurer Dave Hoffman,and Clerk John Morgan. Absent — none 3, The Clerk read the minutes of the previous meeting, held Dec. 20th 1960 — Moved by Hansen and Secnoded by Gray that same be and are approved as read. All Ayes. 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. Moved by Gray and Seconed by Arcand,"That the Interstate Lumber Co., 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, that same be and hereby is approved as submitted. All Ayes. C.
