COMMENTS AND SUCK~ESTIONS BY CITIZENS PRESENT
Wally Hagen and his wife complained about their water being red from the use of the
fire hydrants for floodin§ skating rinks in their area. He brought samples that
were taken for tests by the Public Works supervisor. It was agreed to do the
rink flooding at 10:30 P.M. after the major use of water Would be over. .
Mrs Gellman asked why if the planning for the rerouting of County 15 was 10 years
old why they allowed the Minnesota Federal to build. The answer was the railroad would
not allow two crossings so close together.
Mrs Johnson ask why they flushed fire hydrants at night; Gene Garvais, Fire Chief,
answered that the work was done by volunteer firamen and they had regular jobs and
thus the time; also flushing during 6he day would causem6re tr6uble as the
peak use was then, laundry, cooking, dentists and doctors would be affected.
CONNECTION AT SEWER STUBS
Robert Miner, Public Works supervisor displayed a new connection that would install
a sewer connection (wye) efficiently and uniformly. Such use would entail a
change in the ordinance. The attorney was directed to prepare such an ordinance
change for the consideration of the council.
