Minutes-11/04/1970 (2)

Water- Wayne Reed said the fence around the standpipe will be moved further in on the west and north sides, but will be on the property line on the east and south sides. Mr. Reed received a letter from the State Dept. Of Health about the difference in the size of the pipe Chalupa used for the house services. It said the Dept. has no authority to deviate from the state plumbing code which requires 3/4 in. pipe. However, since the pipe has already been installed they don't think it should be removed. Mr. Reed thinks this has been satisfactorily resolved, but we will have to wait and see what the FHA says. Powers-Willis has revised their engineering bill. Ned Allen made the motion to pay them $2099.26 and Dale Flansburg seconded it. By a roll call vote- Aye- Allen, Flansburg, Michel, and Potter. Nay- None. Mr. Neuzil and Powers-Willis have invited the Mayor, the Council, the treasurer, clerk, marshall, Mr. Martin, Mr. Tometich, Bill Bream, and their spouses to the Lark on November 17. Mayor Pro-tem Spivey said he has received a complaint from Frank Jedlicka that the water men cut off part of his driveway. Ken Herdliška said that Ahrens Construction, Powers-Willis and another used his garden hose, drove across his lawn and tracked across it without permission. He estimated the damages at $100. He was instructed to present a written claim to the Town. The Town will then submit it to Powers-Willis and they will send it to the contractors. Attorney Leff called Mr. Neuzil again about a trailer court at Mr. Steucks. The Xmas party for the children will be at the Fire Station on December 20. The Clerk will ask Bill Bream if he will contact Santa and make the arrangements for the party. Ted Spivey read a letter from Busby-Miller Agency saying that since we have a new water system it might rate the Town in a better class. Mr. Reed will send the Clerk the plans and specifications to send in to the Iowa Inspection Bureau. It was decided that before the six inch main of Mr. Voparil's is covered, Dale Flansburg will inspect it to see that it is done right. The Town will then have the responsibility for maintaining it. Ned Allen made the motion to pay Bob Martin's registration fee and mileage to the water school in Iowa City that begins November 17. Glenn Potter seconded it. By a roll call vote- Aye- Allen, Flansburg, Michel, and Potter. Nay- None. It was decided to ask Don Davis to be on the Council. Dale Flansburg was sworn in as new mayor. Jerry Michel moved and Ned Allen seconded the motion that Dale be the new mayor. By a roll call vote- Aye- Allen, Michel, Potter, and Spivey. Nay- Flansburg. The mayor then took the oath of office.
