Regular meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Friday August.5,1949, at 4:30 o'clock P.M. All Commissioners present.President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held July.8,1949, read and approved. Mr. A.W.Kleinschnitz having been reappointed a member of the Board of Water Commissioners for a term, of three years from July.1, 1949,the present membership of the Board with the date of expiration of their terms now stand as follows: ' Ernest L. Peaslee Jul 01950 Joseph S. Simonet " 1,1951 A.W.Kleinschnitz " 1,1952 3.s Simms.- .P A ,.. Commissioner Peaslee moved that J.S.Simonet act as temporary chairman and S.P.McKusick as temporary secretary.Motion duly seconded and unanimously carried. Commissioner Peaslee then moved that A.W.Kleinschnitz be elected Chairman for the ensuing year and S.P.McKusick secretary for the ensuing year and H.S.Grove,General Manager. all other elective or appointive offices be continued as of last year. Motion unanimously carried. General Manager Grove stated that in compliance with a request contained in a letter from Mr .©.E.Brownell,Director,Division of Municipal Water Supply,Minnesota Department of Health, dated July.22, 1949,to meet with the Board of Water Commissioners in regard to certain recommendations and improvements contained in a report upon investigation of the water supply in Stillwater dated November.4,1947. Mr.Grove stated that he had contacted each member of the Board and with their approval he hack instructed Secretary McKusick to write a letter inviting Mr.Brownell to-meet with t he Board at this meeting. Mr.Brownell,Mr.Lawson and Mr. Burnick were present and after introductions President Kleinschnitz called of its construction in 1925 it could not be approved today. It is surrounded on three sides by sanitary sewers at distances of less than Fifty feet which are always a possible source of contamination. He stated that in his opinion the best remedy would be to begin at a point approximately Two hundred and seventy feet east of the center line of Owen Street in West Laurel Street and lower the present sewer changing the direction of the flow from west to east for about Two hundred feet easterly or at a point north of the present manhole located in the ravine and .laying south of Lot Twelve, Block Four in Sabin's Addition,running the sewer east of the reservoir to said manhole. Commissioner Peaslee stated that the plans for the Laurel Street reservoir had been presented to the State Board of Health before construction and had been approved in 1925. He then asked Mr.Brownell what assurance we had that later on there would not be further changes in. Minnesota standards and that what might do today would be all wrong tomorrow. Mr.Brownell answered that Sanitary standards_ were changing. He agreed with Commissioner Peaslee that it was an unfortunate situation but as the matter now stands the reservoir with the location of the present sanitary sewers was considered by the Department of Health as a possible source of contam- ination and requested that the Board take action to eliminate such possibilit 7. Mr.Brownell further stated that this was a very old water works system,a large part of which was constructed e&r» in' tier year 1890 long before there was much thought regarding sanitary construction and what was considered good sanitary practice then, was now outdated and dangerous to Public Health. He stated that the old storm sewer running easterly from Fourth Street to the east side of Third Street lies within Ten feet of the Third Street Station pump wells and that the overflow from the pump wells discharges directly into the storm sewer. The house sewer at the rear of the property lies too close to the pump wells and the suction pipe from the pumps,Third Street, is only five feet below the surface and the discharge pipe from the well and springs crosses six feet under the . storm sewer and is constructed of loosely laid tile pipe. After a lengthly discussion of the matter, Mr. Brownell recommended that few pumping equipment. etc., be instilled at the source,nameiy, west of Fourth Street near McKusick springs and well. Commissioner Peaslee then stated that he was of the opinion that the Board should cooperate with the State Board of Health and felt however that the problems should be handled one at a time. Commissioner Peaslee then moved that the recommendations of the Department of Health in regard to changing the sewers near the Laurel Street reservoir be carried out and that General Manager Grove be and i hereby instructed and authorized to investigate the appoximate cost and other details and report upon same at the next Board meeting.

He. further stated that he had called the matter to the attention of the City Engineer, Mr.J.A.D.Abercrombie,,who had inspected the condition of said wall and had agreed that the wall needed fixing. Mr.Grove also stated that Mr.Abercrombie in his opinion stated that he felt that the Board of Water. Commissioners should stand the cost of the repairs. Mr.Grove stated that he did not agree with Mr.Abercrombie as to the responsibility. After considerable conversation Commissioner Simonet moved and motion was seconded,all.voting "Ayer' that when the repairs were made the Board of Water Commissioners would pay one -half' or the expense r the repairs.

KARL G.NEUMEIER JOHN E_HARRIGAN LYLE J.ECKBERG NEUMEIER,HARRIGAN a ECKBERG LAWYERS STI LLWATER, MINNESOTA Mr. Arthur W. Kleinschnitz 1312 South 2nd Street Stillwater, Minnesota Dear Art: September 14, 1949 I was over to the Attorney General's office the other day and informally discussed with two of the assistants the question of the possibility of amending the Stillwater Charter so as to put the Water Board under the control of the Council with reference to fixing rates. I have no doubt that if the voters so voted, the Charter could be amended so as to put the control of the Water Board under the control of the general council. In that event, the council would undoubtedly have the right to fix rates, but I do not believe that they could thwart the general tax regulation by charging substantially more for water than the cost of production, maintenance, repairs, depreciation, replacements and etc. While the council would have some reasonable latitude, I believe that the court, at the instigation of the taxpayer, could look into the question as to whether or not the rates were reasonable or whether they were being used for the purpose of raising taxes. I have not taken'the time to make an extensive examination of the legal authorities on the matter, but can make a further study if you think it advisable or necessary. KGNeume ier /fn Yours very truly, NEUiv EI HA,' IGAN & ECKBERG By Spe Stillwater ;Minnesota,September.27,1949. al Meeting: Meeting 'called to order at Five o'clock P.M. with Commissioners present.

General Manager Grove was then instructed to have Attorney Ralph McGrath draw up the contract and prepare all necessary legal papers, etc. A delegation or property owners interested in a water main on South Grove Street were present at this meeting, namely: Ray C. Grove, Andrew J. & Helen K.Conley, and Clarence I and Rhoda E. Gehrke. Mr.Gehrke stated that they had for many years tried to get water service on South. Grove Street and that now due to the fact that the Board were going to install water mains on West Pine Street they were requesting that the Board extend or in some way make it possible for them to get water service. Ray Grove, Mr. & Mrs.Conley and 26 Rhoda Gehrke also talked atsone length all urging that the Board do something to serve them with water service. General Manager Grove stated that South Grove Street was not completely graded but that the North ena was fairly near grad.e. After considerable discussion and careful consideration or the matter the Board were or the unamious opinion that eventually a Six (6) inch cast iron water main would nave to be laid in Grove Street and that an excavation would be suitable for a six (6) in h water main as well as a smallerline that would not furnish fire protection. All felt that a Six 16) inch cast iron water main would be the advisable solution. It was finally agreed that due to the fact that the South end or. Grove Street near Pine Street was not gractealit would not be advisable to extend a water main to Pine Street at this time. It was the unanimous opinion of the Board however that a main be laid part way as soon as possible, the total -length not to exceed 470 feet.

The Board then informed Mr.Gehrke,Rhocia Gehrke, and Mr. and Mrs. Conley, that according to water Board rules,Six Hundred 'Dollars, ($6Uu.uu),or one-thira of the estimated cost would have to be guaranteed before the Board would agree to make such extension. Those interested,namely, the Gehrkes and Conleys all stated that they were willing to pay the one-third cost or said installation, Six Hundred Dollars,($60u.Uu) and sign a contract to that erfect with the understanding that the Board would refund to them part or the Six Hundred. Dollars($600.UU),when any new applications ror service on said main paid their proportion for connecting with said main, the total refund unaer no circumstances not to be over Two Hundred Dollars,($2uu.uu) to each party,that One Hundred Dollars,($1Uu.uu) be the fixed charge for connecting with such main, and that in addition to said payments they shall pay the entire cost or connecting the premises for which they desire water service with said main.

Stillwater Minnesota. Mr.H,C.Fay of Oak Park was present. He stated that he and several others were very much interested, in having a six inch cast iron water main extended some 1,080 feet southerly in FourAvenue together with necessary fire hydrants for fire protection. General Manager Grove was then asked the cost of such ffn extension. Mr.Grove stated that it would cost approximately Four Thousand Five Hundred ($4,500,00) dollars, providing no rock was encountered. If rock was encountered in the prr me trench the coat would be much greater. He further advised that those titer° ted in such extension make preliminary investigation of soil So onditions and that soundings be made every twenty-five feet along the proposed route of the main. He also stated that the cost of installing water services from the main to the several homes would run about if no rock was encountered. $2.25 per footo‘After some discussion Mr.Fay was informed that the rattge. would have to be taken up with the City Attorney before anything could h , - be done. General Manager Grove stated that in his opinion the Board could legally install such main. He further stated that the whole cost of such construction would have to be paid by the applicants and water rates would be higher than those in Stillwater. General Manager Grove was instructed to contact Mr.McGrath in the matter. No further action was taken. The Board, however, made nolpromise to Mr.Fay nor did they commit themselves.

After considerable discussion.it was moved and secondedvall voting "Aye", that the Board accept Nine Hundred (4900.00) dollars in full payment of the bill in question, which represents approximately ten per cent more than the cost.

October.12,1951, by common consent of all members of the Board. All Commissioners'present.President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of last regular meeting held September.7,1951, read'and approved. General Manager Grove reported that in compliance with '.. the Board's request at a previous meeting he had again consulted City e Attorney Ralph McGrath regarding the matter of plumbers license and presented a letter from Mr.McGrath, which reads as follows: s 93 9.4 After some discussion and consideration it was the tnaniMousopinion of the Board that originally it was very important that plumbers be licensed by the Board for the following reasons: 4 1. Because at that time there were no water meters and water rates were based on the number of fixtures, baths,toilets and etc. 2. At that time water for the business district originated from McKusick Lake and was considered unsafe by the State Board of Health and consequently required careful check on plumbers to see that no cross connections were made with the safe supply. At present all water services are metered and the McKusick Lake supply has been replaced by a safe water supply thereby eliminating the chief reasons for the licensing of plumbers by the Board of Water Commissioners. After considering the above facts the Board were unanimous in their opinion that at present the Board would take no action in the matter. Mr.Grove reported that theSouth Hill water tank had been painted by Mr.Vernon'Ford Of the-MidWest-Tank and Painting Co. with two coats of the best red lead and two coats of N.F.ForMUla black. Mr.Grove stated that the tank was thoroughly cleaned and brushed-before the paint wasfapplied and was of the opinion that the workmanship was excellent. Mr.Grove further stated that in his opinion the Board had saved considerable in painting the tank without advertising for bids. When'paip,tAng .he West Hill,standpipe in 1946, the job was let for 490.00 affirthiSjis a much ,smaller tank with a capacity of 100,459 gallons while the South Hill tank holds 262,250 gallons or otherwise twice as large as the West Hill tank. Mr.Grove stated that weather permitting the North Hill standpipe would be painted this Fall!: All Commissioners having approved each individual bill,Commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution, which was adopted, all voting "Aye"' Resolution No. 606 RESOLVED by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of S till*ater, that the following bills be and they are, hereby allowed and warrants ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1028 Pay Roll No. 1029 Pay Roll No. 1030 State Treasurer S.P.McKtsick,Sedretary, The First National Bank,Stillwater,Minn Minnesota Hospital Service Association Northwestern Bell Telephone Company Northern States Power Company H.S.Grove John J. laity Gotpany Carlson Bros.Texaco Service Station Lowell's Super Service Stillwater Motor Company R.W.McGarry & Son Agency Stillwater Book & Stationery Co.

He stated that men from the Bluff City Lumber Co. had assisted him and found as follows: If all the roof boards were in good condition and just a number One roof crafter shingle roof was put on it would cost about Seven hundred fifty ($750.00) dollars, but it is believed that many of the roof boards are rotten and will have to be rdplaced. Some of the joices are certain to be in a bad condition and will have to be replaced. The small cupola should be removed and boarded up.

Mr'.Grove reported that in accordance with instructions of the Board at the June.13,1952, regular meeting he had met with Mr. Croeby of the Crosby Machine & Engineering Co, in regard to the purchase of lotor lots belonging to the said firm laying easterly and southerly •adjttb theiokUtiek6riag:And.2Wili.:. . He stated that Mr. Crosby stated that they did not want to sell. He wanted to know why the Board wanted the property. Mr.Grove informed him that the spring and well was a very important source of water for the City and at present his firm was allowing a MrSherman Gordon to pasture ponies very near to the spring and well and this constituted a possiblesouree of Contamination and the Board of Water Commissioners would if not able to purchase the property through ordinary means would be compelled to start condemnation proceedings to obtain the said property to protect the main water supply of,the City. In conclusion Mr.Crosby stated that he did not wish to sell the property at present but would give the Board first chance in case he decided to sell. He further promised and agreed that he would co-operate fully with the Board to remove any possible sources of contamination and order! Mr.Sherrnan Gordon to remove all fences a safe distance from the Spring and well.

Regular meeting: The regular meeting of the -Board of Water Commissioners was held on Monday September.$,1952, by common consent of all members of the Board. All commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of last regular meeting held August.$,1952, read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that the old Kiesow house on South Third Street, our register No. 3 -320, was being razed and that Mr.Vern Keech had requested that the water rent due against the property on January.1,1952, amounting to $5.50,be cancelled as the building had been vacant since that date and no water had been used. Mr.Keech paid a repair bill of $10.25, which was for repairs during the previous winter. On motion of commissioner Peaslee, seconded by commissioner Bloom, the secretary was instructed to cancel said $5.50 against this property. General Manager Grove reported to the Board that Mr. Harold Zollden and several other parties living near and adjacent to East Orleans Street were planning to lay a private water line in said Street. It was the unanimous opinion of the Board that a private watef line should not be allowed in that district due to the fact that quite a number of new houses-- -were being constructed and that a private line would be inadequate both for water service and fire protection General Manager Grove stated that in his opinion there would be at least fifteen new homes in said area and he further stated that parties interested wesuld much prefer a water main in said street and that they would like to meet with the Board at their convenience to discuss the matter. All commissioners were agreed that a regular adjourned meeting should be held on Wednesday evening, September 24, at which time those interested could meet with the Board. All commissioners having approved each individual bill, commissioner Peaslee :offered .;the - following resolution, which was unanimously adopted, all voting "Aye" Resolution No. 617 RESOLVED by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, that the following bills be, and they are,hereby allowed and warrants ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts,viz: Pay Roll No. 1061 Pay Roll No. 1062 Pay Roll No. 1063 State Treasurer S.P.McKusick,Secretary, 121 Labor, August 1- 16,1952 4450.35 Salaries,August, 1952, 751.70 Labor,August 16 -31, 1952 444.37 Ded.Salaries,Labor,Ret.Fund 59.4$ Sundry Expense 11.53 The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater,Minn.

Regular Adjourned meeting: A regular adjourned meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Wednesday September.24,1952, at 7:30 P.M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. This meeting was adjourned from the regular meeting held on September.$,1952, for the purpose of considering the possibilities of laying a water main in East Orleans Street. A delegation of people interested were present,namely: Mr.Harold Zollden,Mr.Albert C.Beaudette,Mrs.Kermit J.Sommers,Miss Natalie Weckworth, Miss Catherine Weckworth, Mrs.Ruth Josewski, Dr. J.E.Jensen, Mrs. Dr.J.E.Jensen. President Kleinschnitz called the meeting to order and stated that this meeting was called for the purpose of considering the request for the installation of a water main in East Orleans Street between Fourth Avenue,South and Second Avenue,South. Mr.Harold Zollden spaeking in behalf of those interested stated that they were very much interested in having a water main installed in Orleans Street and wanted to know under what conditions the Board would cause such a main to be installed. General Manager Grove stated that the estimated cost of installing a six (6) inch water main to serve for water service and fire protection would cost approximately Fifty -one hundred cola's. He further stated that at least some Forty -six (46) feet crossing Fourth Avenue was solid rock and the balance rather uncertain. Recent excavations in the area however showed no rock and it was somewhat of a gamble. A general discussion then followed and the established procedure in installing water mains by the Board of Water Commissioners was fully explained. After further discussion and careful consideration and only after it was unanimously agreed by those present that they understood the conditions, commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution: RESOLUTION FOR LAYING OF WATER MAIN IN EAST ORLEANS STREET BETWEEN FOURTH AVENUE AND SECOND AVENUE,SOUTH. Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater,Minnesota, that the Board lay a six (6) inch cast iron water main in East Orleans Street beginning in and connecting with the present water main in Fourth Avenue and running thence Easterly in Orleans Street to the east line of Second Avenue, excepting,however, that in event rock is encountered near the end of the proposed extension, then the said six (6) inch cast iron water main shall be terminated at a point one hundred thirty-five (135) feet more or less east\of the east line of Third Avenue, South;that no assessment be levied against adjacent property benefited by the laying of such main; that before any person may enjoy the privilege of connecting with such main, he shall pay the Board of Water Commissioners, in lieu of frontage tax or assessments, the sum of One hundred ($100.00) dollars; that in addition to the payment of the said sum of One hundred ($100.00) dollars such person shall pay an equal proportion of the estimated one-third (1/3) cost of installing said main, which in this case is hereby established at seventeen hundred ($1700.00) dollars, with the understanding that the Board will refund part of the said one-third (1/3) estimated cost as new connections are made and paid for and sucn person shall pay the entire costs of connecting with the premises for which he or she desires water service. Passed September.24,1952. General Manager Grove was instructed to purchase all necessary supplies, make all arrangements and proceed- with the installation of said water main as soon as possible and only after the total amount of seventeen hundred ($1700.00) dollars is paid. On motion meeting adjourned, Attest: Secretary. 123 124 Stillwater ,Minnesota,October.10,1952. Regular meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Friday October.10,1952, at 4:30 P.M. All commissioners present.President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on September.$, 1952, and the regular adjourned meeting held on Wednesday September.24,1952, read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that he had attended the meeting of Minnesota Section A.W.W.A. held in Sioux Falls,South Dakota, as authorized at the meeting of the Board held September $, 1952, He stated that he had been given a ride both ways at no cost. He also stated that it was the largest attended meeting to date.Many papers were read, perhaps the most popular being one on Ground Water and Conservation including geology of the Minnesota area. Some of the other topics were Fluoridation, Hydrant and Gate Valve Maintenance, Cold Weather Operation of Distribution Systems,Steel Tank Maintenance, Painting and Repairing,Relation of Water Works Characteristics to Insurance Rates, these and many others in his opinion made this meeting very educational and valuable to all who attended. General Manager Grove reported that in regard to the proposed Orleans Street extension and in compliance with the requirements of the resolution authorizing same, the one -third (1/3) of the total estimated costs amounting to Seventeen hundred,($1700.00), dollars had. %en paiid-, -asp :follows: Total estimated cost of extension $5100.00 One -third (1/3) cost of extension 1700.00 Harold Zollden, paid $425.0Q Albert Beaudette, " 425.00 Kermit J.Sommers, " 425.00 Miss Natalie Weckworth paid 425.00 Total one -third (1/3) paid $1700.00 125 Mr.Grove reported that as instructed, work on said installation would be started as soon as possible with intentions to complete this year if at all possible. General Manager Grove stated that as authorized and instructed at a regular meeting of the Board held on September.7,1951, the North Hill Stand -pipe had been cleaned and painted. He explained the delay in painting was due to the fact that unusual and warm dry weather this Spring increased water demands and it appeared advisable to put off painting until Fall. He further stated that the three lower sheets of the stand -pipe were badly rusted and the old paint so bad that the use of hand tools for cleaning was impossible in order to obtain a first class job. He then decided that sand blasting be used. The stand -pipe was then sand blasted inside and outside and a first class job was the result. The out -side of the stand -pipe was painted with one coat of red lead and two coats of N.P. black. The inside was painted with two coats Gray Navy 52 -P -67 Zinc Dust Paint. General Manager Grove stated that the inside of the West Hill Stand -pipe would have to be thoroughly examined before ice conditions became acute. He said the leak that had developed on July.14, 1952,had been repaired by the insertion of a stop plug. He said that he felt certain that at this point the tank would have to be welded and if the inside of the tank was in need of painting it would be done at the same time. He stated that as soon as the examination was completed he would consult with the Board for action. General Manager Grove reported that the large door at the Owen Street Station had become so old and worn out that a new one had to be installed. He further stated that he had purchased an over -head door from the Consolidated Lumber Co. and it had been installed. General Man ager Grove stated that for a number of years the Owen Street Pumping Station has been heated with a large stove using lump coal as fuel. The stove is worn out and new repair parts are not available, the manufacturer discontinuing this type twelve years ago. He further stated that after having gone over the matter carefully he had contacted Commissioner Peaslee regarding some type of heating system, 120 its cost, etc. Mr.Peaslee visited the station with him and both were of the opinion that considerable saving in fuel could be made if a ceiling could be installed some eight or ten feet above the floor,_ over the south part of the building which houses the pump,meter and chlorine equipment. Mr.Grove stated that he had purchased the necessary material and had Axel Thomsen install a ceiling which was now completed adding much to the appearance and cutting down the heating area. Mr.Grove said that he was of the opinion that the building could now be heated economically with a house type oil burner,but would investigate further before installing such a heater. Mr.Grove informed the Board that there were a number of delinquent accounts and that shut off notices had been mailed. He advised that the Valley Forge and Car Company were now behind in the amount of $229.7$, that he had called their office and made several attempts to collect the bill, but as yet had not succeeded. On October. 1,1952, a letter was sent to them advising them that unless the bill was paid in full on or before October.10,1952, the water would be turned off. Mr.Grove sta ed that employees of the Board were intimating that they wanted an increase in wages. Mr.Grove said that other City employees were also asking for a raise. Mr.Grove stated, that Mr.A.

General Manage1 Grove reported that the cathodic protection installation installed in the west hill tank in November 1944 apparently was not giving the protection anticipaed. He stated that our experience up to the Spring of 1952 seemed to indicate that it was working out satisfactorily, however, on July 17,1952, a small leak had developed in the center of the tank near the top. A temporary plug was inserted from the outside and as the peak season was over he called Mr.Vernon Ford, an experienced tank man from Hopkins,Minnesota,Mr.Ford made an inspection and found severe pitting. General Manager Grove also inspected every foot of the interior of the tank from top to bottom and found as follows: Rivit heads clean and in good shape, sheets fairly clean inside, severe pitting elongated in bottom sheet, severe pitting near top where leak had developed, these pitts were round and were grouped fairly close together and fairly deep. Mr.Grove stated that in his opinion extensive repairs must be made. He stated that he had notified Mr.Bell of Wallace & Tiernan Co., who have taken over the Electro Rust Proofing Co„ by telephone on December 1, 1952, and by letter on the same date. Mr.Grove said that Mr.Bell and Wallace & Tiernan Company were making a complete investigation. He further stated that representatives of the Company, namely: Mr.P.H. Freeman,service manager,Electro Rust Proofing Corporation of Bellville, New Jersey, together with Mr.E.J.Spencer, service man from Chicago came to Stillwater on February 5, 1953, and had gone over the matter carefully. Mr.Grove stated that after talking to these men he was of the opinion the trouble could be remedied. He further stated that the Electro Rust Proofing Co.would send an expert to Stillwater on April 15 of this year to install the Electrodes and make a complete investigation at no cost to the Board. Mr.Grove 1 1 : AP further stated that it had been his intention to have the inside of the west hill tank welded and repainted as early as possible this Spring but would make no recommendations to the Board until after the investigation by the Eledtro Rust Proofing men. Secretary,McKusick rdad a letter from the Minnesota Department of Health dated November 21, 1952 and signed by Mr.O.E.Brownell, Director of Municipal Water Supply, in which they enclose the results of an analytical examination of the Stillwater Water Supply, made from samples collected on November.4,1952 at various places in Stillwater. The report showing no contamination or coliform group organisms. Mr.Brownell further stated that through an error in estimating last year's numerical rating we received a rating of 76, he stated that the rating should have been 80. He further stated that since this last investigation Stillwater had adopted the Minnesota Plumbing Code, which increased the Water Works System rating to 81 General Manager Grove reported that the Water Works School would be held at the University beginning the week of March 16,1953. Commissioner Bloom moved that H.S.Grove and Harold Foster be instructed to attend said meeting and their expenses paid by the Board. General Manager Grove reported that the Annual Meeting of the A.W.W.A. would this year be held in Grand Rapids,Michigan, on May 10- 15, 1953, inclusive,and asked for authorization to attend. On motion of Gbmmissioner Bloom, duly seconded, all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was authorized to attend said meeting and his expenses to be paid by the Board. President Kleinschnitz stated that the Board should take steps to purchase auxiliayy pumping equipment and also to improve water pressure conditions in low pressure areas. In commenting Mr.Grove stated that in a few years an additional water and pumping station to increase the supply for the residential district. The gradual increase each year of new modern homes was severly taking the available present supply during dry seasons. He further stated that such installation would cost anywhere from $50,000.00 to $90,000.00 He also stated that to increase the water pressure in low pressure areas was a real problem. To increase the height of the west hill tank in his opinion was not safe. The installation of a booster station was complicated and costly. After some discussion the matter was laid on the table until some future meeting. All commissioners having approved each individual bill commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted, all voting "Aye" Resolution No. 622 RESOLVED by the Board of Water Cammissioners of the City of Stillwater, that the following bills be, and they are, hereby allowed and warrants ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1076 Pay Roll No. 1077 Pay Roll No. 1078 State Treasurer S.P.McKusick, Secretary The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwat Minnesota Hospital Service As Northwestern Bell Telephone C Northern States Power Co.

Mr.Grove also stated that previous examinations of the interior of the West Hill tank on July.14,1952 and on Apri1.17,1953 by Mr.Ford, Mr.Spencer, engineer for the Rust Proof Company,and himself, led them to believe that the tank would be safe until the Spring of 1954 at which time plans and specifications could be prepard and the Board could advertize for bids for the repairs.

He further stated that there was not enough time to prepare plans and specifications for the repairing and painting or how long it would take to make said repairs. After careful deliberation and consideration all members of the Board were unanimous in their opinion that any delay in making repairs to the said tank might cause great damage to the public and endanger public safety and extensive replacement cost and that an emergency existed and that repairs be made without delay.

Regular meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Wednesday November 11, 1953 at 4:30 P.M. All commissioners present.President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on Monday October 12,1953 were read and approved. General Manager Grove reported, that oh the evening of October 31,1953,a phone call informed him that water was running down North Fourth Street near the water tank. Upon investigation it was discovered that someone had broken the man -hole cover near the the tank and, evidently dropped a piece of the same into the man - hole,a distance of some ten feet penetrating the eight inch cast iron water main allowing water to escape and flow down the street.The tank was turned off off and drained. The inside of the man -hole was so small that it was impossible to install a repair sleeve, so a hole was excavated about eight feet square and a new section of eight inch water main installed. A new man -hole was then constructed using white brick and an extra heavy man -hole cover and frame installed. About 200,000 gallons of water had been wasted and all efforts to trace the ones that had perpetrated the damages had failed it is believed it was done by boys. General Man ager Grove reported that as per instructions at the last meeting he had contacted City Attorney McGrath and written a letter to the Minnesota Department of Highways °Atli tg 1.1aetr attention to possible damages to the water mains etc. on North Broadway.He read the letter and it was approved by the Board. General Man ager Grove stated that the Mulberry Street tank should be painted and cleaned inside and outside next year and that the south hill tank should be cleaned and painted on the inside next season. He stated that he would prepare plans and specifications some time this winter and bring the matter to the attention of the Board at some future meeting. 157 General Manager Grove also reported that the Board must consider soon additional water supply for the residential district. He said that the supply was ample for the winter months but the addition of new homes year after year had now created a serious demand during dry periods amounting to over 1500 gallons of water a minute or the full capacity of both pumps at the Third Street Station. He stated that a dry season would severly:y tax the supply and perhaps cause curtailing of sprinkling etc. He also stated that an additional supply would be very costly and the problem so complicated that he would have to consult with other engineers etc. After considerable discussion by the Board it was agreed that no action be taken at this meeting but the General Manager was advised to obtain all possible data on such an undertaking and bring the matter to the attention of the Board at some future meeting. General Manager Grove informed the Board the City of Stillwater had granted an increase in wages as of January.1,1954 to other City Personnel and had not consulted with the Water Board as was the agreement.He further stated that the Water Board personnel felt that they were also entitled to a pay increase, As the increase did not take effect until January.1,1954 the Board agreed to take the matter under consideration and to take it up at a later meeting. On account of the inability of some of the me tubers of the Board to attend meetings on Friday, the time of meetings was changed by resolution to Thursday of each month or as close to the tenth of each month as possible. Risollition,NO.633 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the time of the monthly meetings be changed from Friday of each month to Thursday or as near to the tenth of each month as possible.'

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held March 11, 1954, read and approved. General Manager Grove read a letter from Mr. John F. Thoreen, Attorney for Independent School District 106, Washington County, Minnesota in which said School District requests permission to connect the proposed new grade school building which will lie south of Orleans Street, east of Third Street extended, and west of Sixth Avenue extended. This property is outside of the city limits. After some discussion it was unamimously agreed that the Board of Water Commissioners would cooperate with said School District in so far as possible under established Board rules and regulations also in compliance with the State Board of Health. General Manager Grove also stated that Mr. Harold C. Fay, owner of Lots 20 and 21, Block 9 of McKenty's Addition located in Oak Park, was very anxious to have City water extended to aforesaid property to supply water to his home located there. Mr. Fay said that he was willing to pay the full cost of running a 2" water line and that he would further agree to abide by all rules and regulations of the Board. The total distance would be approximately 900 feet. After considerable discussion and due to the fact that our water supply was approaching a point that was limited especially during the summer months, it was the unamimous opinion of the Board that such an extension was inadvisable at this time and to advise Mr. Fay accordingly. President Kleinschnitz said that Mr. G. M. Johnson, on behalf of the Ascension Episcopal Church, had asked permission to drive over Water Board property as a means of egress from the rear of the church. The Board was of the opinion that it would not be objection- able, providing no parking was allowed in the driveway and that the drive would be properly maintained. General Manager Grove reported that Mr. Sherman P. McKusick, Secretary of the Board, had resigned as of March 31, 1954 due to ill health. Mr. McKusick was appointed Secretary of the Board on January 1, 1938 and had served continuously until this time, a period of 16 years and 3 months. Mr. Grove requested that a new Secretary be 1 167 appointed at once. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", Mr. Harold L. Foster was unamimously elected as Secretary of the Board of Water Commissioners . beginning as of April 1, 1954 at a salary of $300.00 per month until such time as the Board may consider an increase in salary and further that he be required to furnish a bond in the amount of $1000.00 conditioned as provided by law. General Manager Grove stated that the Public Examiner had always objected to the manner in which his car allowance was handled by the Board.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held April 8, 1954 read and approved. President Kleinschnitz offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: J5 Resolution No. 639 ;13 Whereas, the retirement of our esteemed fellow citizen, Sherman P. McKusick, from his position as Secretary of the Board of Water Commissioners, presents a suitable opportunity for expressing the high regard in which we hold him as a faithful and courteous public servant, and the respect in which he is held as a private citizen; therefore, be it Resolved, that the thanks of this meeting and the community are due to Sherman P. McKusick, for the able and impartial manner in which he has administered the affairs of his office during his sixteen years of earnest worthwhile service, and that we sincerely regret his determination to retire from public life. Resolved, that he carries with him, on leaving the position which he has so capably filled, the affection and best wishes of the great number of friends he has made in his official capacity. Resolved, that his late associates in office regard his return to private life as a loss to them, and trust that his future will be as bright and prosperous as he can anticipate or desire. Resolved, that the resolutions adopted on this occasion be transmitted to him and to the public press and spread upon the minutes of this meeting. Dated May 13, 1954 Board of Water Commissioners /s/ A. W. Kleinschnitz, Pres. s/ E. L. Peaslee, Vice Pres. /s/ V. Willis Bloom General Manager Grove stated that Mr. Forrest A. Nutting was desirous ot obtaining city water in a new house to be built on Lot 4 and West of Lot 5, Block 3 of North Lily Lots. Several plans how to best serve this property were discussed also taking into consideration anticipated future developement in that immediate area. The estimated cost of running a 2" feeder line southerly in Grove Street, a distance of approximately 163 feet, beginning at the ' present water main in Pine Street is $536.00. It is believed that either 5 or 6 new homes will be built there in the near future, all to be served by this 2 feeder. Commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution: Resolution No. 640 Resolved that the Board of Water Commissioners install at its own expense a 2" galvanized water line southerly in Grove Street from the present water main in Pine Street for approximately 163 feet. This 2" feeder line will be owned by the Board of Water Commissioners who will have full jurisdiction over this line. A connection charge of $100 will be made for each house fed by this line. Resolution seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", carried. Mr. Grove was instructed to complete the six inch main extension in South Grove Street, approximately 235 feet in accordance with Resolution No. 581, passed at Board meeting on March 10, 1950. Mr. W. R. Mahood was present and wanted to know the possibility and cost of obtaining city water to his proposed house located on parts of Lots 1 and 2, Block 33 of Carli & Schulenberg's Addition. After much deliberation, due to the fact that rock conditions are anticipated, General Manager Grove was instructed to obtain additional information if possible in order to give Mr. Mahood a definite answer within a week. Due to a misunderstanding, Mr. W. G. Handevidt was erroneously billed a connection charge of $100 each on two of his recently built homes on West Pine Street. It was the opinion of the Board that these charges should not have been made since these two houses in question were connected to a main which had been paid for in full by Tom North. The secretary was instructed to cancel these charges in the amount of $200. General Manager Grove reported that the Mulberry Street Stand- pipe had been drained for cleaning and that Vernon Ford of the Midwest Tank & Painting Company would make a thorough inspection of this tank and make recommendations for the sum of $50.00. Commissioner Bloom moved the above, seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", motion carried. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", the secretary was authorized to purchase a printing calculator for the office at a price not to exceed $485.00. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was unamimously adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 641 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1121 Pay Roll No. 1122 Pay Roll No. 1123 State Treasurer The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater, Minnesota Benefit Association Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.

General Manager Grove reported that the 2" feeder line in Grove Street running southerly and also the 6" main in Grove Street running northerly from Pine Street had been completed. He also stated that Mr. Mahood had been informed as to the cost and practibility of obtaining city water and that Mr. Mahood had decided to drill a private well to furnish his proposed house. An examination of the Mulberry Street Tank made by Vernon Ford of the Midwest Tank & Painting Company disclosed that the tank is structurally sound, but is badly in need of paint both inside and out. Mr. Grove stated that he was preparing specifications for painting this tank and that he would probably have the specifications finished by the August meeting of the Board. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 642 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1124 Pay Roll No. 1125 Pay Roll No. 1126 The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater State Treasurer Minnesota Benefit Association H.

All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held July 8, 1954 read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that Mr. Harvey Heuer and Jesse Roberts were desirous of having water services extended south of Orleans Street, in line with South Third Street. Mr.grove said that he had informed Mr. Heuer and Mr. Roberts that at present, or until we had an additional water supply, he could not recommend any extensions. After careful consideration, it was unamimously agreed that it would be unwise to make any such extensions at present. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", it was agreed that no new extensions would be made outside of the City Limits EXCEPTING on property adjacent to water mains already installed and upon which agreements have previously been made. General Manager Grove reported that Mr. Mel Krohn had made application by letter under date of July 20, 1954 for water service to his new home located on Lots 7 & 8, Block 5 of McKinstry & Seeley's Addition. He further stated that Mr. Krohn was willing to pay for and install a private line, if necessary. Mr. Grove stated that he could not recommend or approve the installation of a small service line in this location because, in his opinion, several new homes would be con- structed in this area soon and it would only be a short time when the Board would be called upon to extend the water main large enough to provide fire protection and water service to many new homes. Mr. Grove then presented a plat showing the area in question. After very careful consideration and much discussion, it appeared to be the unamimous opinion of the Board that a six inch water main in Pine Street was fully justified because of the following reasons: there is a potential of at least five new homes at present and several more in the near future; the General Manager estimates the cost of approximately one block of six inch main at fourteen hundred (1400.00) dollars; therefore the teturn from water rents together with the main hookup charge would guarantee a return that would fully justify such an extension. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the following resolution was adopted: 177 Resolution No. 644 Resolution extending six (6) inch water main on West Pine Street from Grove Street to Hemlock Street. Resolved that the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota install a six (6) inch cast iron water main in West Pine Street beginning in and connecting with the present water main in Pine Street and running thence westerly parallel with the north line of Pine Street to a point approximately three hundred thirty-five (335) feet west of the west line of Grove Street; that no assessments be levied against property adjacent to or benefiting by the laying of such main; that before any person may enjoy the privilege of connecting with such main, he shall pay the Board of Water Commissioners the sume of one hundred fifty ($150.00) dollars; that in addition to the payment of said sum, such person or persons shall pay the entire cost of connecting the premises for which water service is desired; such charges shall apply to each and every dwelling or commercial building regardless of location and size. tc After considerable discussion regarding main hookup charges, on motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the following resolution was adopted: Resolution No. 645 1 Resolution establishing main connection charges on water mains already installed where no frontage tax has been assessed. Resolved that beginning this date, August 10, 1954 and continuing until further action of the Board, the following rules and regulations shall govern main hookup charges on extensions already installed: 1. Where heretofor a connection charge 'of twenty ($20.00) dollars has been made, a charge of fifty ($50.00) dollars will be made with the exception of any job which on this date has been contracted for. 2. Where heretofor a connection charge of one hundred (0100.00) dollars has been made, a charge of one hundred fifty ($150.00) dollars will be made excepting Orleans St. Ext., . No. Second St. Ext., and Grove St. Ext.(Conley & Gehrke). 3. Where heretofor a connection charge for a customer outside the City limits was the same as for those within limits, a charge of twenty-five (25%) per cent over and above like charges within the City limits will be made with the exception of any job which on this date has been contracted for. 4. No extensions of water mains will be made without special action of the Board. 5. The action of this resolution supersedes all previous resolutions. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the salary of the Secretary was fixed at three hundred twenty-five ($325.00) dollars per month effective August 1, 1954 and the Secretary authorized and instructed to make said payment. General Manager Grove reported that he had prepared plans and specifications for the cleaning and painting of the Mulberry Street Standpipe. The said plans and specifications had been checked and approved by the City Attorney. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", General Manager Grove was authorized and instructed to advertise for bids for the cleaning and painting of the Mulberry Street Tank all in accordance with 178 the plans and specifications as prepared by the General Manager. The bids will be opened at a regular meeting of the Board to be held on Thursday September 9, 195k. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 646 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1130 Pay Roll No. 1131 Pay Roll No. 1132 The First Nat'l Banklqtillwater State Treasurer Minnesota Benefit Association Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held August 10, 1954 read and approved. General Manager Grove reported -that 12 Series F Bonds had matured in September 1954 in the amount of $12,000.00. He further stated the contemplated improvements to the water system, the planning and investigation of which might take a year or more, would require a considerable amount and that it would be advisable to build up a large fund for such improvements. Therefore the investment in U. S. Bonds drawing interest would be advisable at this time. Mr. Grove said that he had talked to Mr. MacDonald at the First National Bank in regard to the matter and had been advised to purchase Series J Bonds. Commissioner Peaslee also stated that Mr. Welshons of the Cosmopolitan State Bank had recommended the same. After careful consideration and due deliberation by the Board, Commissioner Peaslee made a motion that the Secretary be instructed to cash and deposit in the Water Works Fund at the First National Bank the $12,000.00 received from the F Bonds and to purchase thirty-five (35) U. S. Series J Bonds at $720.00 each or a total of twenty-five thousand two hundred ($25,200.00) dollars and instructed and authorized to issue a check on the Treasurer for the same. The motion was duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", adopted. Mr. R. E. Nelson made application to the Board for a ruling on a hook-up or connection charge on part of Lot 1, Block 2 of North Lily Lots. Mr. Nelson stated that he intends to build on the east part of said lot, that he and Mr. Ed Hanson had paid the full cost of extending water service to said lot, and that Mr. Tom North had paid the full cost of extending a 6 inch main from Pine to Willard Street. After careful consideration by the Board, they were of the unamimous opinion that no connection charge be made to Mr. Nelson since both the main and service had been made at no cost to the Board. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the Secretary was instructed to cancel the connection charge on this particular house owned by Mr. Nelson. 180 On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye General Manager Grove and employees designated by him were authorized to attend the meeting of the Minnesota Section of the American Water Works Association to be held at Hotel Lowry on October 6, 7 and 8, 1954 and their expense to be paid by the Board. General Manager Grove, as directed by the Board at the regular meeting held August 10, 1954, had advertised for bids for the cleaning and painting of the Mulberry Street Water Tank to be opened on this date. Secretary Foster then reported that only one bid had been received. President Kleinschnitz then opened the bid which was from the Midwest Tank Painting Company, 309 VanBuren Avenue, Edina, Minnesota., who proposed to clean and paint the tank all according to plans and specifications for the sum of twenty eight hundred and sixty-five ($2865.00) dollars, The bid was accompanied by a check in the amount of three hundred ($300.00) dollars. After much discussion it seemed to be the opinion of the Board that the bid price was high. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", Manager Grove was instructed to contact Mr. Vernon Ford of the Midwest Tank & Painting Company to see if he would be willing to wait until the next regular meeting of the Board for final action on his bid. Mr. Grove was instructed to make further investigation as to prices charged by other contractors in the area for this type of work and to report back at the next regular meeting of the Board. General Manager Grove reported that as previously discussed at meeting, he had been investigating and trying to plan major improvements to the Water Works system including additional supply for the residential area. He stated that the gradual and steady increase in water consumption during hot weather in the residential area made it imperative that some action be taken soon. Mr. Grove stated that he had consulted Mr. Fred McCarthy of the McCarthy Well Drilling Company and others. He further stated that since such an undertaking would be a major improvement and would involve the spending of considerable money, he felt that the Board should consider the hiring of a firm of Consulting Engineers who specialize in this type of work. Mr. Grove recommended a complete survey of the system by reliable Water Works Engineering Consultants and a report from them. He stated that he had no idea just what that type of a survey would cost. He also stated that St. Paul and Fargo had recently had that type of survey and recommendations by the firm of Black and Veatch of Kansas City, Missouri. After some 181 discussion by the Board, Commissioner Bloom moved that General Manager Grove be instructed to contact the firm of Black and Veatch asking them to meet with the Board to discuss the matter at their convenience, seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", carried. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 647 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1133 Labor Aug 1-15,195L.

He recommended that a preliminary survey be made of our water system by his firm and they in turn would furnish us a comprehensive report showing needs of our system and also remedies to correct the situation. The cost of this survey and report, according to Mr. Filby, would be based upon the actual cost of materials expended in the study and report, transportation to Stillwater from K. C. and return thereto, and the subsistance of such employees when they are away from K. C. on official business connected with this report. However, in no case will the cost of this preliminary survey and report exceed thirty-five hundred (3500.00) dollars and might run from twenty- seven hundred (4l2700.00) dollars upward to thirty-five hundred( 03500.00) dollars. Mr. Filby made it clear to the Board that beyond the submission of the preliminary report by his firm, the Board is not obligated in any manner to Black and Veatch for the performance of any of the recommendations. These recommendations for the betterment and enlargement of our plant are to be based on the anticipated future needs of the Water Jorks system for the next twenty years. Mr. Filby stated that if the Board decided to go ahead with the preliminary survey, he would like to begin very soon in order that several tests might be made before freezing weather. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", upon the arrival of the formal proposal and contract from Black and Veatch, President Kleinschnitz will call a special meeting of the Board for action on this contract. i83 Due to the lateness of the season, Commissioner Peaslee made a motion to reject the bid of the Midwest Tank & Painting Company and to readvertise for bids next spring for the cleaning and painting of the Mulberry Street Stand Pipe.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on December 13, 1954 were read and approved. General Manager Grove stated that on December 21, 1954 the Board had received the Report of Public Examiner for the year ended December 31, 1953. The comments and recommendations as set forth in this report were discussed at some length by the Board and it was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Board that the General Manager and Secretary investigate the suggestions and report their findings to the Board at a later meeting. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting 11Aye ", the Board will meet with Mayor Madsen to discuss a feasible method of charging the City for water furnished it as specifically stated in the City Charter. General Manager Grove also reported that on January 2, 1955 a leak had developed on an L1:." private line which formerly served several homes and the Nelson School, but at present furnishes only Mrs. Florence Utecht, 1017 So. Second Street and Willard Zolldan, 101$ So. Second Street. This is an old line coming from South Third Street and is in bad shape. It should have been connected to the main in South Second Street in 1912 when the main was laid. Inasmuch as it is a bad situation both for the Board and also the two consumers concerned, Mr. Grove tapped both of the above services to the main in Second Street, the Board to furnish the necessary labor and the above two parties to pay for the material. After careful consideration by the Board, the above action was unanimously approved by the members. ,Furnishing water for the new school building near Orleans Street and South Third Street was discussed and also the possibility of furnishing water to the proposed developement on West Olive Street at the former Hanson slaughter house property. No action was taken. 1 All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 651 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1145 Pay Roll No. 1146 Pay Roll No. 1147 The First Nat'l Bank State Treasurer Labor Dec 1 -15, 1954 Labor Dec 16 -31, 1954 Salaries December 1954 Withholding Tax December 1954 Ded.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding: The minutes of the last regular meeting held on January 13, 1955 were read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that Mayor Madsen had been in the office inquiring about the recommendations made by the Public Examiner, George Anderson, that the City of Stillwater pay water rent as defined in the City Charter to the Board of Water Commissioners. The Mayor stated that he was gathering information to see just what could be done to comply with the City Charter. Mr. Grove stated that later he had been called to City Attorney McGrath's office where Mayor Madsen was also present. Mr. McGrath stated that a thorough investigation of the City Charter, in his opinion, left no alternative but to charge the City, if the Board is to follow the mandates as specifically set up in the Charter. Mr. Grove further stated that he gathered from the conversation that George Anderson had informed Mayor Madsen that the Board of Water Commissioners could, in his opinion, set up a charge for water rent to the. City and then in turn write off the amount which was set up, in lieu of taxes etc to the City. Mr. Grove said that he had informed the Mayor and Mr.. McGrath that, in his opinion, this procedure amounted to a transfer of funds even though no money changed hands and that previous rulings by the Attorney General clearly stated that any transfer of funds to the City from the Board of Water Commissioners was illegal. Mr. Grove stated that this of course was not an official meeting, but that Mayor Madsen was trying to eliminate criticism from the Examiner. Mr. Grove further stated that he felt in any event the City had no intention of paying water rent. Mr. Grove presented to the Board a fair minimum itemized charge to the City amounting to approximately $10,000.00 per year based on a study of like charges in other cities. President Kleinschnitz stated that due to the above information, he had not called a meeting with the Mayor as per motion passed at the last meeting. Mr. Kleinschnitz stated that he would call a meeting later to discuss the matter after all of the facts had been thoroughly investigated. 191 General Manager Grove presented plats of several proposed and possible extensions, namely: 1. Hemlock Street from Pine Street to Olive Street 2. New School in Oak Park, South of Orleans Street 3. Stillwater Avenue from Martha Street to William Street 4. Fairmeadows Development, South of Wildwood Road and West of Stillwater Road 5. West of Center Street between Myrtle Street and McKusick Lake Mr. Grove reported that Mr. Gordon L. Larson had called at the office of the Board on Friday February 4, 1955 and presented a plat of the proposed Fairmeadows Development. Mr. Larson asked that the matter be presented to the Board at this meeting and advise him of the possibility of obtaining city water to serve the development. He further stated that he would like to have the Board give the matter careful consideration and allow him to meet with the Board at a later date after the Board has had a chance to investigate the development thoroughly. After a lengthy discussion by. the Board, it was agreed that no action could be taken at this time as a great deal was contingent upon the report and recommendations by Black and Veatch in their report which is expected late in March 1955. General Manager Grove stated that, in his opinion, the Board should takd steps to establish some adequate charge and policy for the installation of new water mains. He stated that the City Charter under paragraph 350, page $6, fixes a charge of 75¢ per lineal foot on each side of the street and allows the property owner 15 years to pay such charge. He further stated that a number of years ago, namely 193B, the City Attorney ruled that the Board of Water Commissioners could install water mains and make a connection charge for each installation in lieu of Frontage Tax. He further stated that he thought the Attorney General should be asked for a written opinion as to the legality and power of the Board of Water Commissioners pertaining to Frontage Tax and Connection Charges. The ruling in 193$ by the City Attorney had reference to the W.P.A. main installations where the W.P.A. furnished a large part of the labor and material at no cost to the Board. After much discussion and on motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye", General Manager Grote was instructed to consult City Attorney McGrath asking him to request an opinion from the Attorney General regarding the legality of the Board to fix Frontage Tax or to make Connection Charges on new main extensions. 92 General Manager Grove stated that it would be advisable for the Board to purchase a carload of six (6) inch Cast Iron water main. He stated that the inventory showed some 15$0 feet. The proposed main to the new school will take. approximately 600 feet and in the event of installations now proposed or requested, there would not be sufficient pipe on hand to do the work or make further extensions. He further stated that to advertise for bids, purchase and have the pipe delivered to Stillwater would take at least 60 days. He also recommended that the Board purchase mechanical joint pipe which would eliminate lead, hemp and caulking. This pipe is approved by the State Board of Health and is used by most utilities at present. Considering the cost of lead and hemp, prices for this type of pipe are about equal to that of bell and spigot pipe. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was instructed to prepare specifications and to advertise for a carload of six (6) inch mechanical joint water main and fittings, the car to be maximum size and that the bids be opened at a special meeting of the Board to be held on Thursday February 17, 1955. General Manager Grove stated that he had been informed that the price of soil pipe and fittings was expected to increase at least 5% and that it might be good policy to purchase a truck load before the increase which would mean a substantial saving to the Board. After careful consideration by the Board, Commissioner Peaslee moved that the General Manager be instructed and authorized to advertise for bids on a maximum truck load of four (4) inch soil pipe and necessary fittings and that the bids be opened at a special meeting of the Board to be held on Thursday February 17,1955. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", carried. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was authorized to attend the Conference of the American Water Works Association to be held in Chicago, Illinois from June 12 to 17, 1955 and that his expense be paid by the Board. Mr. Grove stated that the Water Works school would be held at the University of Minnesota for three days beginning March 14, 1955. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was authorized to attend said school, to take any other employees that he 1 193 may pick and that their necessary expense be paid by the Board. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 652 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 114$ Pay Roll No. 1149 Pay Roll No. 1150 The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater State Treasurer Minnesota Benefit Association Northwestern Bell Telephone Co Northern States Power Company Stillwater Book & Stationery Standard Oil Company John J.

After much discussion President Kleinschnitz said that he would call a special meeting to be held on Monday April 11, 1955 for the purpose of making a decision on this matter and that the results of this meeting would be made known to the interested parties. General Manager Grove reported that Louis Garavaglia is in the hospital since March 26, and according to the doctor he may be laid up for some time. Inasmuch as Mr. Garavaglia had worked for the Water Department for approximately 30 years, Mr. Grove felt that he should be entitled to some sick leave. No action was taken. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 654 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: 198 Pay Roll No. 1154 Labor March 1 -15, 1955 Pay Roll No. 1155 Labor March 16 -31, 1955 Pay Roll No. 1156 Salaries March 1955 Chgo,St. P, Mple & Omaha Ry Co Freight (allowed) C.

M. President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Bloom present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting was held for the purpose of further discussing the installation of water service to furnish the proposed new development around McKusick Lake and southerly to West Myrtle Street owned by Messers Hohlt, Granquist and Radle and to furnish them specific information as to when they can expect the installation of water and the cost to them of such installation. City Engineer Abercrombie was present by request of Mr. Grove to try to further enlighten the Board to what procedure would be taken by the City Council. Mr. Abercrombie stated that altho he could not speak for the Council that, in his opinion, it would be impossible to lay water mains or other utilities in this subdivision until such time that a survey had been made, lots platted and grades established, none of which are done at the present time. He further stated that, in his opinion, the Council would take no action until the plat had been accepted and placed on file by the County and after that the completed plan would have to be presented to the City Council for its approval. After a lengthy discussion, it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that no action could be taken at this time. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President' Kleinschnitz, all voting "Aye ", the Board will lay no water mains until the following requirements are met: 1. The property must be surveyed. 2. The plat must be approved and recorded by the City and County. 3. The grade of the Streets must be established and approved by the City Council. Secretary Foster read a letter dated April 7, 1955 from John F. Thoreen for Thoreen, Thoreen and Lawson, attorneys for Independent School District No. 106 making a formal request for water service to the new grade school to be erected approximately one block south of Orleans Street and fronting on South Third Street, the total expense of this installation to be paid for by the School District. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, 200 all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was instructed to install water main and necessary appurtenances to same at such time as the plans are approved and to render bill to School District No. 106 for the total cost. On motion meeting adjourned. Attest: Secretary Stillwater, Minnesota, April 26, 1955 Special Meeting: 201 A special meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Tuesday April 26, 1955 at 4:30 P. M. Present were President Kleinschnitz, Commissioners Peaslee and Bloom, City Attorney McGrath, J. E. McGrath and Councilman Art Bartkey. President Kleinschnitz presiding. President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting had been called at the request of Councilman Bartkey for the purpose of discussing the possibility of the Board's collecting sewer rental charge along with water bills. Councilman Bartkey, in behalf of the Council, requested that the Board of Water Commissioners levy and collect $2.50 per meter per six months with the water bills and turn the sewer rental charges over to the City. After some discussion, several questions came up, namely: 1. Can the Board legally collect and remit to the City an assessment or tax for sewage disposal? 2. Can the Board collect a flat fee for each consumer or must it be based on the amount of water consumed? 3. Upon refusal to pay sewage charge, can the Board shut off water? 4. Can the Board collect from consumers having water only, not connected to the city sewer system? Commissioner Peaslee pointed out that, since the Board must raise the water rents effective July 1, 1955, he would be in favor of postponing the sewer rental charge, if to be collected by the Board, until at least January 1, 1956. Commissioner Peaslee further stated that before the Board arrived at any decision on the subject of sewage charge, he thought it would be advisable to determine the legality of the Board's collection of such a charge. City Attorney McGrath was of the opinion that the Board could legally collect such charge for the City. No action was taken. General Manager Grove brought up the subject of water main extensions, how initiated, how approved, how financed, etc under the new Laws of 1953. City Attorney McGrath was of the opinion that new extensions could be made under the Laws of 1953 being financed through either the Board or the Council. After a lengthy discussion, President Kleinschnitz thought it would be advisable to consult the Attorney General's office for an opinion in regard to sewer rental 202 charge and also water main extensions before the Board could take any action. It was unanimously agreed and City Attorney McGrath was instructed to make an appointment for Friday afternoon, May 6, with the Attorney General and that Mr. McGrath, Mr. Grove and as many Board members as possible attend. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, the following resolution was adopted: Resolution No. 655 WHEREAS, since our last regular meeting and on the fourteenth day of April, 1955, death has taken from our organization Mr. Louis Garavaglia, a faithful employee of the Board of Water Commissioners for over thirty years. His service has been efficient, faithful and greatly appreciated and whereas the Board of Water Commissioners wish to have placed on the records of its proceedings an expression of the esteem in which he was held. BE IT RESOLVED that in the death of Mr. Garavaglia we testify that the Board and the City have sustained the loss of a faithful co- worker, the City one of its valuable sons and among his friends a genial and courteous associate. To his family we offer our sincere sympathy in their bereavement and that this resolution be spread upon the records and a copy sent to his family. Dated April 26, 1955 Board of Water Commissioners /s/ A. W. Kleinschnitz, Pres. /s/ E. L. Peaslee, Vice Pres. /s/ V. Willis Bloom On motion meeting adjourned. Attest: Secretary 1 Stillwater, Minnesota, May 12, 1955 Regular Meeting: 203 The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday May 12, 1955 at 4:30 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on April 7, 1955 and also the special meetings held on April 11 and April 26, 1955 were read and approved. Commissioner Peaslee reported that on Friday May 6, 1955 at 2:00 P. M. General Manager Grove and himself representing the Board of Water Commissioners, Mr. Lester R. Brower representing the Mayor and Council, City Attorney McGrath and J. E. McGrath representing both the Board and the City had a meeting at the State Capitol with Mr. Mattson and Mr. Volkert representing the Attorney General. The purpose of this meeting was chiefly to obtain an opinion from the Attorney General on two questions, namely: 1. Can the Board of Water Commissioners collect a sewer charge or rental on each water meter or account and turn the money over to the City Council? In answer to this question, it was the opinion of the Attorney General's Office that the Board of Water Commissioners cannot legally collect such sewer charge. 2. Can the Board of Water Commissioners under the provisions of the City Charter assess costs of over 75¢ per lineal foot for the purpose of paying for the installation of water mains? In answer to this question, it was the opinion of the Attorney Generals Office that the Board of Water Commissioners cannot legally assess over 75O per lineal foot for the purpose of paying for the installation of water mains. According to the Attorney General's Office, under the uniform special assessment code adopted by the 1953 legislature as Laws of 1953, Chapter 39$, coded in Minnesota Statutes as Section 429.011 to 429.111, all new water main extensions will have to be handled through the City Council who will be compelled to make all assessments, install the water main and handle all other details which may pertain to such extension. 204 General Manager Grove reported that Mr. E. L. Filby of Black & Veatch was anxious to formally present his report and recommen- dations to the Board and to discuss them with members of the Board. It was agreed that Mr. Filby or Mr. Mauch, or both, would be present at the next regular meeting of the Board which will be held on Thursday June 9 for the above purpose. General Manager Grove brought up the subject of wages for the hourly men and felt that an increase for them would be necessary. After some discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Peaslee, duly second- ed by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", that the wage scale for the hourly men be set as follows: Herbert W. Lange, Foreman Etsfern Andrews Gerald Hughes Paul Roettger Victor Lassen All others 1.55 per hr. plus $10.00 mo. 1.,4.0 " " 1.35 if Ti 1.35 Tf tf 1.35 Tf " 1.30 " " It was also agreed that effective immediately all labor furnished by the Board will be charged for at the rate of $2.00 per hour instead of $1.90 as previously. General Manager Grove reported that the Secretary had made a proposed rate table subject to the approval of the Board incorporating an increase of about 27% above the present rate. After some deliberation, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was una mously adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 656 RESOLVED by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, that effective on all water used after July 1, 1955 the following water rates be put into effect: Within City RESIDENTIAL RATE 7.00 min. 6 mos.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on May 12, 1955 were read and approved. The subject of extending water mains was discussed at some length, but due to conflicting laws governing the installations, no action could be taken. The Secretary was instructed to write a letter to the Mayor and City Council asking a written opinion from the City Attorney as to just what steps the Board might take to make water main extensions on four specific developments. The Board requested an early reply. The following letter to City Attorney McGrath from the Attorney General's Office was read which substantiates in writing a verbal opinion previously received by the Board: Mr. Ralph W. McGrath City Attorney Stillwater, Minnesota Dear Sir: MILES LORD ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE CAPITOL ST. PAUL 1, MINNESOTA May 20, 1955 Your inquiry of May 13, 1955, presents the following FACTS: Stillwater is a fourth class city, and is considering the construction of a sewage treatment plant. You ask this QUESTION: May the Board of Water Commissioners of Stillwater collect a sewer charge or rental for sewage disposal plant expenses on each water meter or account and turn the money over to the City Council? OPINION The charter of the City of Stillwater provides in Article XVIII, #346, in part: "Said board (Board of Water Commissioners) shall have full, absolute and exclusive control of and power over the water works and water plant of the City, and all parts, attachments and appurtenances thereto, and all apparatus and materials of every kind and description used or to be used in operating said plant and owned and controlled by the City. * * *fl 207: Article XVIII, #347 provides: "Said Board (Board of Water Commissioners) shall control and regulate the distribution of water from said system of water works, in all places and for all purposes where the same may be required for either private or public use, and fix the price and rates therefor, and from time to time cause to be assessed the water rate to be paid for any public use thereof, or by the owner or occupant of each house or other building having or using water, upon such basis as it shall deem equitable, provided, that such rate may be greater for the water furnished to the owner or occupant of any building or premises situate on any lot, piece or parcel of land for any reason not liable for or exempt from the frontage tax hereinafter provided, than the rate charged for a like service furnished to the owners or occupants of lands liable for and not exempt from such frontage tax. * * *" Article XI, #212, of the charter provides: "The Council shall have power to maintain the sewers now established in the City, and to enlarge, extend, relay or improve the same, as it shall consider the public good may require, and may construct and cause to be constructed additional sewers." The Board of Water Commissioners has jurisdiction over the water works and water plants of the City, and the City Council has jurisdiction over the sewer system. The Board of Water Commissioners would have no authority to collect a sewer charge from each water meter account and turn it over to the city. The power of the Board of Water Commissioners in this regard is limited to the fixing of the prices and rates for the distribution of water, and the basis of such charges shall be equitable. It is my opinion that any charge for sewage disposal plant expenses would not be deemed an equitable charge for the use of water pursuant to #212 of the charter. Accordingly, your first inquiry is answered in the negative. You ask this further QUESTION: May the Board of Water Commissioners under the provisions of the Stillwater City Charter assess the cost of the installation of water mains, which will be more than 75 cents per lineal foot? OPINION The charter of the City of Stillwater, c. XVIII, #350, provides: "In addition to all other powers conferred upon said Board, said Board is authorized for the purpose of defraying in whole or in part the cost of such water works and of subsequent extensions thereof, to assess upon each and every lot, piece or parcel of land in the City, except only lands which are or may be exempt by law from assessments for local improvements, in front of which water mains are or shall hereinafter be laid, a water frontage tax at the rate of seventy -five cents on each lineal foot of the frontage of such lot, piece or parcel of land, and which shall be a lien upon such lot, piece or parcel of land until paid, and shall be due in fifteen equal installments, and collected at the time and as hereinafter provided. *" (Emphasis supplied) The city charter limits the power of the Board to an assessment for a water frontage tax at the rate of 75 cents on each lineal foot of frontage, and therefore the Board of Water Commissioners would be without the power to assess any amount in excess of that limitation. Your second inquiry is answered in the negative. 208 You ask this further QUESTION: May the City Council and /or may the Board of Water Commissioners make use of the Uniform Special Assessment Code adopted by the 1953 Legislature in assessing the cost of laying water mains? OPINION L. 1953, c. 39$, now coded as M. S. c. 429, applies to a city of the fourth class. Sec. 429.021, Subd. 1, provides: "The council of a municipality shall have power to make the following improvements: tt* * tt(5) To construct, reconstruct, extend and maintain water works systems, including mains, valves, hydrants, service connections, wells, pumps, reservoirs, tanks, treatment plants, and other appurtenances of a water works system, within and without the corporate limits. Sec. 429.021, Subd. 3, provides: "When any portion of the cost of an improvement is defrayed by special assessments, the procedure prescribed in this chapter shall be followed unless the council determines to proceed under charter provisions; but this chapter does not prescribe the procedure to be followed by a municipality in making improvements financed without the use of special assessments." The authority granted by this chapter is in addition to powers already possessed by the City of Stillwater under its charter. The authority granted under this chapter is granted to the City Council and not to the Board of Water Commissioners. M. S. #429.031, Subd. 2, provides: t"A resolution ordering a park improvement may be adopted only by a four - fifths vote of the council and shall also be approved by the park board, if there is one. A resolution ordering an improvement of the water, sewer, steam heating, street lighting or other facility over which a utilities commission has jurisdiction shall also be approved by the utilities commission." Therefore, the City Council may proceed under c. 429 for the purpose of assessing the cost of laying the water mains, but this action requires approval of the Board of Water Commissioners. You ask this further QUESTION: May the Board of Water Commissioners install water Mains in streets where there are none, at the request of the affected property owners, and have the property own owners pay the entire costs of the work, in cash, and without making any assessments therefor ?" OPINION The Board of Water Commissioners has only the authority granted by the city charter or by state statute. I know of no statute or authority granted by the charter which would authorize the Board of Water Commissioners to install water mains pursuant to contract with affected property owners in the manner outlined. The city charter provides in Art. XVIII, #350: tt * No property shall be subject to any such frontage tax on any frontage thereof upon which frontage the owner or owners thereof shall have 209 therefore and without cost to the City, or to said Board, laid or caused a water main to be laid in front of such property and which water main has been thereafter accepted by the City, or by said Board, and made a part of said system of water works." The authority granted in #350 is authority only for the acceptance by the city or the Board of Water Commissioners of water IImains which have been laid by property owners into the city system of water works. This is not authority for contracting with the property owners under an arrangement where the property owners will pay the entire cost of the installation of water mains. Accordingly, your inquiry is answered in the negative. 1 Very truly yours, MILES LORD Attorney General /s /Robert W. Mattson ROBERT W. MATTSON Assistant Attorney General RWM -sm General Manager Grove stated that the report from George M. Schwartz, Geologist, had been received and felt his recommendations for well sites should be seriously considered because of his knowledge and past experience in the field. General Manager Grove reported that there were two water rent accounts which he thought were uncollectible, namely Valley Forge & Car Company (Gilbert Plant) for $61.46 and Donald Johnson, formerly Winfred Ulrich, 321 West Elm Street for $20.46. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", the Secretary was instructed to cancel $61.46 against Valley Forge & Car Company and to have City Attorney McGrath try to collect $20.46 from Johnson or Ulrich. By common consent the date of the meeting with Mr. E. L. Filby of Black and Veatch was changed to June 23, 1955 at 4:30 P. M. General Manager Grove stated that Walter Nelson had made application for water main to furnish his property. Commissioner Bloom IIoffered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 65$ RESOLVED by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the Board of Water Commissioners hereby approve the installation of 6" water main by a private contractor for Walter Nelson property on South Greeley Street, 210 All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 659 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1160 Pay Roll No. 1161 Pay Roll No. 1162 The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater State Treasurer Minnesota Benefit Association H.

President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting was held for the purpose of reviewing and accepting the report of Black & Veatch as submitted to the Board. Mr. Filby read the report in its entirety with emphasis on those things which he believed to be most important. Board members were able to ask questions as they saw fit and to discuss the recommendations with Mr. Filby. From the several recommendations made, the following seemed most timely and were discussed: 1. That no drilling be done in the vicinity of the McKusick well and spring until another supply is available and in use. 2. That the Board immediately take steps to purchase the Sandahl property on West Olive Street for a new tank. 3. That an altitude valve be installed on the Mulberry Street tank. 4. That the Board consider making a stand -by charge for the 6" connection at the Maple Island Creamery. 5. That the Board fence the area adjacent to the McKusick well and spring. 6.

President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Bloom present. Commissioner Peaslee absent. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on September $, 1955 were read and approved. City Clerk Lester R. Brower was present at the meeting at the request of the City Council asking financial assistance from the Board of Water Commissioners. Specifically, the Council asked that the Board pay $1440.00, the cost of nine hydrants @ 0160.00 per hydrant. These hydrants were recently installed on new extensions in the City. Mr. Brower explained that the cost of these hydrants, according to City Attorney McGrath, could not legally be paid for from the Permanent Improvement Fund which does have the necessary amount of money. The General Fund, from which they could be paid legally, has no money and the City is unable to borrow money for this purpose. Mr. Brower asked for consideration by the Board. After some discussion, President Kleinschnitz informed Mr. Brower that the Board would consider the matter and reach a decision the first of the following week and in turn the Council would be notified of the Board's decision. At the request of the Board, Elmer A. Elliot and Richard G. Dewhurst of the Northern States Power Company were present at the meeting for the purpose of discussing the problem of "peak hours" in regard to our water pumping. Both Mr. Elliot and Mr. Dewhurst emphatically stated that there was nothing that they could do to alleviate the situation. In order for the Board to take advantage of the Municipal Pumping Rate, it is necessary for us to observe the "peak hours ". To pump during peak hours would cost the Board an additional $137.50 per month. No action was taken. President Kleinschnitz announced that five (5) bids for the digging of Test delis and Pumping Tests had been received and proceeded to open said bids with the following results: 221 KEYS McCARTHY WILEY RENNER LAYNE ITEM 1 6.00 10.00 6.00 8.00 11.00 (Est 1501) 900.00 1500.00 900.00 1200.00 1650.00 ITEM 2 4.00 10.00 3.00 6.00 7.00 (Est 801) 320.00 800.00 240.00 480.00 560.00 ITEM 3 580.00 700.00 300.00 400.00 864.00 (Pumping Test) TOTAL BID 1800.00 3000.00 1440.00 2080.00 3074.00 PRICE BOND CHECK BOND BOND BOND President Kleinschnitz then informed all bidders that no action would be taken at this time, but that a special meeting would be held on Monday October 10, 1955 at 5 P. M. at which time a decision would be made and that each bidder would be promptly notified of the result. Each bidder was allowed to speak in his own behalf and answer any questions asked by the Board. General Manager Grove reported that Robert Anderson, 1920 North Broadway, had appeared before the Council complaining about the quality of water furnished his home. Mr. Grove said that since the Gilbert Plant is no longer used, there is very little water used in Dutchtown. To connect the consumers in that vicinity to spring water would cost upward of $9,000.00. Black and Veatch have recommended certain changes in the Laurel Street Reservoir intended to help this situation and will likely be made in the near future. General Manager Grove stated that St. Croix Homes Company was desirous of obtaining water service to a newly constructed home, already occupied, located on West Oak Street between Sherburne and Grove Streets. Since all other homes in that block have water, Mr. Grove recommended that a private line be run westerly in Oak Street beginning at Sherburne Street, the total cost to be paid by the consumer. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, all voting "Aye", the Board will run a private line westerly in Oak Street from Sherburne Street to furnish said house with the total cost of the private line to be paid by the consumer. General Manager Grove stated that the Board had need for a one-half or three-quarter ton pickup truck and thought it advisable to purchase a used truck at this time. The Board authorized Mr. Grove to purchase such a vehicle if it might be obtained for less than $500.00. 2 2 2 All Commissioners present having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye11: Resolution No. 664 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Otto 0. and Clara Shelley Pay Roll No. 1172 Pay Roll.

President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Bloom present. Commissioner Peaslee absent. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on October 6, 1955 were read and approved. President Kleinschnitz stated that th first business to consider was the matter of paying for nine newly installed hydrants as requested by the Council. After some discussion on the subject, it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that such a transaction would be a transfer of funds and as such would be illegal. It was also the opinion of the Board that it would be hard pressed for money very soon with the contemplated new well and elevated tank. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, all voting "Aye ", the Board would not pay for the nine newly installed hydrants on new extensions as requested by the Council. President Kleinschnitz stated that the next business to consider was that of awarding a contract for the drilling and pumping of a new test well. The bids and bidders were reviewed and discussed at some length. Although the R. A. Wiley Well Company of Osseo, Minnesota was low bidder, Mr. Wiley had at the previous Board meeting admitted that his concern had never drilled a test well. When Mr. Wiley was asked his method of measuring the water being pumped, his plan was to measure it by means of a 3" meter. At the previous Board meeting George H. Keys of Keys Well Drilling Company had said that his company had drilled several test wells which 'he enumerated in a letter to the Board dated October $, 1955 which was read by the Secretary. Mr. Keys also said that his company would use the pipe orifice method of measuring the amount of water being pumped. General Manager Grove, when asked his opinion by the Board, recommended that the Board accept the bid of Keys Well Drilling Company for the above reasons. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, all voting "Aye ", the Board would enter into contract with Keys Well Drilling Company of St. Paul, lowest qualified bidder, at the terms of their proposal.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were Mr. Harold C. Fay and Mr. Harry A. Hanson, both of Oak Park. President Kleinschnitz stated that this special meeting was held for the purpose of opening bids and awarding the contract for the construction of a residential type pump house at the corner of Owen and Wilkin Streets. The President proceeded to open the bids which were as follows: George W. Olsen TOTAL AMOUNT CERTIFIED BEGIN WORK COMPLETE OF BID CHECK 5% WITHIN BY $14,035.00 yes 5 days Arthur E.

Hanson were interested in getting a water main to furnish their homes as well as other homes located in Stillwater Township. Specifically, at present Mr. Fay would like a six (6 ") inch main run southerly in Fourth Avenue South from Orleans Street for a distance of approximately 950'. Mr. Fay further stated that he would pay the total cost of extending said main with the idea that more consumers would connect to the main, each reimbursing Mr. Fay for a part of his initial outlay. Mr. Fay emphasized the fact that most of those people are now getting city water which is being hauled by George Wohlers and that it would not be an undue strain upon our water system. The matter was discussed at some length and several questions were brought up, namely: 1. Could the Board legally make or accept such an extension? 2. Does the Board have the water available to furnish consumers on such an extension which is outside the City Limits? 21) c 3. Who would own and who would have jurisdiction over the main after it is laid in a street not belonging to the City? 4. Would the County approve tearing up the street for a distance of 950'? Could water be furnished from hydrants for fire protection and who would pay the hydrant rental? 6. Could and should a connection charge be paid the Board for each connection, and if so, how much? Should the Board furnish meters free to those consumers or should those consumers purchase the meters from the Board? rr� Q On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was instructed to contact City Attorney McGrath to check the legality of installing approximately 950' of 6" water main, as outlined above by Mr. Fay, outside the City Limits with the total cost to be borne by those benefitting. General Manager Grove stated that Mr. Henry Radle had been into the office and was desirous of obtaining city water to his addition which is located west of Center Street, north of Myrtle Street and south of Linden Street. Mr. Radle, at present, is interested in the installation of 1344' of 6" water main to serve this area and agrees to pay the total cost of such extension. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the Board approves such installation on the above basis, providing, however, that the main is installed according to A. W. W. A. Specifications and that the installation is made by experienced 'qualified workmen. On motion meetin adjqurr ed.

Attest: ,1 °�Y• Secretary 255 Stillwater, Minnesota, October 23, 1956 Adjourned Meeting: An adjourned meeting, joint with Board of Water Commissioners and the City Council, was held at the office of the Board of Water Commiss- ioners on Tuesday October 23, 1956 at 7:00 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were Mayor Madsen, Councilmen Bartkey, Bergen, Bourdaghs, Charlsen, and City Clerk Brower. President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting was for the purpose of discussing the financial situation in which the Board finds itself. Mr. Kleinschnitz further stated that the Board had spent considerable money during 1955 and 1956 for the drilling of a new well and construction of a pumphouse along with other items. Before the end of the year, according to Mr. Kleinschnitz, it will be necessary for the Board to borrow money. He also mentioned the construction of a 500,000 gallon elevated tank as soon as possible which alone will cost approximately $100,000.00 along with other recommended and necessary improvements to the extent of about $50,000.00. It is anticipated that the Board must sell bonds to finance these improvements. President Kleinschnitz said that the issue boiled down to whether the City could help us financially by paying their obligation to us or must the Board increase the water rates sufficient to repay the bonds and interest for a period of years. Mayor Madsen then spoke in behalf of the Council and stated that the City Council was unable to offer any assistance to the Board financially. The Mayor said that he could see no alternative but to sell bonds for the necessary amount and to increase the water rates to amply provide for the repayment of such a loan. President Kleinschnitz thanked the Mayor and members of the Council for attending and they departed. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting 'tAye ", Commissioner Peaslee was authorized to contact Robert S. Davis of this city for advice in regard to setting up a bond issue. The subject of an increase in water rates was brought up and discussed at some length. It was generally agreed that an increase in rates is imperative since we can get no help from the City. Quarterly billing for residential customers to replace semi - annual billing was also discussed and appeared to have several advantages. 206 After some deliberation, Commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 67$ Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, that effective on all water used after January 1, 1957 all residential water consumers be billed quarterly and that the following water rates be put into effect: RESIDENTIAL RATE Within City $5.00 min. quarter Outside City $7.00 min.quarter First 10,000 Gals. per 3 mos. @ .50 .70 Next 10,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .40 .56 Next 190,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .25 .35 200- 500,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .1$ flat .25 flat Over 500,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .12 flat .17 flat COMMERCIAL RATE (MONTHLY) First 10,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .40 Next 190,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .25 200- 500,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .1$ flat Over 500,000 Gals. per 1 mo. @ .12 flat .56 .35 .25 flat .17 flat Sprinkler Heads be charged for at rate of 12¢ per head per year.

Mr. Grove stated that the Trustees of the Trinity Lutheran Church had contacted him in regard to a plan to improve the driveway between the Water Department and the Trinity Church. It was the opinion of all members of the Board that we would cooperate in any manner possible to improve this driveway since we use it daily.

Stillwater, Minnesota, February 7, 1957 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday February 7, 1957 at 4:30 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on January 10, 1957 were read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that he had prepared plans and specifications for a Diesel generator set for the Wilkin Street Station. However, he stated that the used unit from Ziegler Company had been sold and at the present time he knew of no other such units available. No action was taken. General Manager Grove also brought up the matter of water storage facilities, location of such, capacity, cost, etc. It was the opinion of Mr. Grove that perhaps it would be more feasable and economical to build a standpipe further west and at a higher elevation than on the proposed site, namely West Olive and Center Streets. Mr. Grove showed possible locations on a plat and was convinced that the tank located in that area would better serve the consumers by increasing their pressure and could be constructed at a cost of about half the estimated cost of an elevated tank. Mr. Grove felt, however, that he would like to consult with Mr. E. L. Filby of Black & Veatch before any definite steps be taken. The Board was of the opinion that Mr. Filby be contacted and arrangements made for him to come to Stillwater, if necessary, to approve the new site and the necessary mains to the new tank. General Manager Grove reported that the three altitude valves had arrived here on January 22, 1957. Due to the frost condition of the ground they will not be instnlled until spring. Also, Mr. Grove reported that Mr. Arthur Collinge had finished the installation of the new pump for Crane Company on January 14, 1957. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the Secretary be instructed to pay Michel Sales Company the sum of $2500.00 on the altitude valves, holding back $300.00 until such time as the valves are installed and known to be in good working order. Also, due to the fact that the pump installation was not completed by completion date, on motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the Secretary instructed to pay Crane Company the sum of $6,000.00, holding back $1,670.00 until such time as the pump is officially tested and found 264 to be in first class working order and pending disposition of the penalty clause in the contract. The Secretary submitted the annual yearly statement to the Board covering the year 1956. This report was unanimously approved by the Board and the Secretary instructed to transmit a copy of said report to the City Clerk as provided for in Section 144 of the City Charter. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 6$3 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1220 Pay Roll No. 1221 Pay Roll No. 1222 The First Nat'l Bank,Stillwater State Treasurer Minnesota Benefit Assn, Inc.

M. at the home of Commissioner Bloom since he was incapacitated with an ankle injury. President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Bloom present. Commissioner Peaslee absent. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on February 7, 1957 were read and approved. General Manager Grove stated that he had corresponded with Mr. E. L. Filby of Black and Veatch, but has been unable to set a time when Mr. Filby will be in this vicinity. However, Mr. Grove stated that he had talked informally with Mr. Steffis of Tolz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates regarding the proposed tank, site, etc and that Mr. Steffis seemed to agree that a standpipe as now proposed had many advantages over an elevated tank as previously discussed. Mr. Grove further stated that he had not contacted Mr. Gilbert Benson again in regard to the purchase of a plot of ground for the proposed standpipe. President Kleinschnitz stated that he felt Mr. Benson should be contacted immediately and if thought advisable, the Board should secure an option on the desired land. On motion of Commissionet Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove was authorized and instructed to secure an option on the necessary property from Gilbert Benson for a tank. General Manager Grove stated that the Mulberry Street Standpipe should be painted at an early date. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", Mr. Grove was authorized and instructed to draw up plans and specifications for the painting of the Mulberry Street tank, advertise for bids, and to open said bids at the next regular meeting of the Board which will be held on April 11, 1957. General Manager Grove further stated that the yearly Water Works School at the University of Minnesota Continuation Study Center will take place March 11, 12, and 13 and asked that he and other employees be authorized to attend. On motion ofCommissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", Mr. Grove and any employees selected by him be authorized to attend Water Works School and that their expense be paid by the Board. General Manager Grove said that on February $, 1957 three water services on North Broadway had frozen and necessitated thawing by the Board. The obvious reason for their freezing was the fact that in 1949 266 the State Highway . Department changed the elevation of the highway leaving several water services with insufficient cover. Mr. Grove recommended to the Board that the thawing charges for the three cus- tomers be cancelled on the books due to the fact that it was in no way caused by the customers, nor was it any fault of the Water Board. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Klein- schnitz, both voting "Aye ", charges for the following persons be cancelled in the amounts shown: Ernest Lemke 2022 No. Broadway $4.90 Ralph Diethert 201$ No. Broadway 4.90 Virgil Plattner 2016 No. Broadway 9.$0 Also, on motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", the General Manager, as a matter of record, was instructed to write to the Minnesota Highway Department telling them of the condition of those water services caused by changing the road elevations and asking that the State pay for the lowering of the water services involved. General Manager Grove reported that Ziegler Company had advised him that they will have one or more Diesel generating sets, only slightly used, for sale in about three months and asked that he and Board members go over to St. Paul in the near future to see this unit in use. Mr. Grove brought up the matter of purchasing some copper pipe and fittings at this time as he thought an appreciable saving could be made by asking for bids on the anticipated needs for this summer. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Klein - schnitz, both voting "Aye", General Manager Grove advertise for bids on copper pipe and fittings, said bids to be opened at the next Board meeting which will be held on April 11, 1957. General Manager Grove stated that the national convention of the American Water Works Association would be held during the month of May 1957 at Atlantic City. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", General Manager Grove or Harold L. Foster be authorized to attend said convention at Atlantic City and that the expense for same be paid by the Board.

All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present was City Attorney Douville. The minutes of the last regular meeting held on Thursday October 10, 1957 were read and approved. City Attorney Douville reported that, in his opinion, the City, rather than the Board of ;'titer Commissioners, must issue and sell obligations to be paid from revenues received by the Board. However, Mr. Douville has asked the Attorney General's office for a ruling in regard to this matter and will in turn forward the information which he receives to the Board at any early date. This is in connection with the borrowing of money to pay for the new tank near West Olive Street upon its completion and other necessary improvements in conjunction. General Manager Grove reported that the necessary preparation for the installation of the altitude valves was progressing satisfactorily and that the .valves themselves would be installed during; the winter months. The matter of paying Gibson Brothers Construction Company in full for the furnishing and installing water main to the proposed tank site was discussed at some length. General Manager Grove said that he was satisfied with the installation of the main itself, but that neither he nor the City Engineer was satisfied with the condition in which the street was left, and th.^ t it definitely does not comply with the specifications in that respect. Mr. Grove recommended that the Board hold back half of the bid price, namely 55¢ per lineal foot, until the resurfacing is done as per specifications. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded.by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye"T, the 4 Board hold back one half of the unit price for replacing the blacktop and also that the Board write to Gibson Brothers informing them of their deficiencies and notifying them that unless steps are taken to corr=:ct these deficiencies, we must advise their Bonding Company to that effect. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye ": Resolution No. 695 Resolved by the Board of 'dater Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1247 Labor Oct 1 -15, 1957 Pay Roll No. 1248 Labor Oct 16 -31, 1957 Pay Roll No. 1249 Salaries October 1957 The First National Bank, Stillwater Withholding Tax October State Treasurer PERA dues October 1957 Iinnesota Hospital Service Ass'n Dues withheld November I innesota Benefit Ass'n, Inc.

General Manager Grove reported that the altitude valve had been installed on the South Hill Standpipe and that the other two valves would be installed before spring. He further outlined a plan of improve- ments to the system totalling approximately $125,000.00 which should be done during the next couple of years emphasising those which must be done at once. City Attorney Douville reported that an opinion from the Attorney General's Office makes it quite clear that in order for the Board of Water Commissioners to borrow sums of money, Certificates of Indebtedness must be sold by the City of Stillwater rather than by the Board of Water Commissioners. The money, when obtained, will be deposited in a Water Works Fund and disbursed soel.y by the Board. These Certificates are not general obligations of the City and will be paid by the Board from current revenue derived from the sale of water. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", members and officials of the Board meet with the heads of the three local banks early in January to discuss the possibility of such a plan. The Secretary was instructed to make available at that time all pertinent information necessary such as anticipated earnings, etc. General Manager Gr " ve stated that he thought it would be advisable to purchase a minimum truckload of soil pipe and fittings as an appreciable saving can be made by purchasing in this manner. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", the General Manager be authorized to advertise for bids on the above and that such bids be opened at the next regular meeting of the Board namely January 9, 1958. General Manager Grove reported that upon completion of the new stand- pipe it would mean pumping against a considerable increase in head, and that our present pumps at the Third Street Station are not capable of doing the job. 2jr. Grove recommended the purchase of two new 800 GPM centrifugal pumps and a new electric motor to replace those used at present. Our present Diesel unit would be used in conjunction with one of the pumps. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", The General manager be authorized to advertise for bids for two centrifugal pumps and one electric motor as soon as possible. The matter of radio co 1_alnication to our trucks was discussed. President Kleinschnitz stated th. - -t through the Civil Defense Agency radio receivers could be installed in both of our trucks at a figure of less • than five hundred dollars. ir. Grove stated that the utilities in many communities had radio contact with their vehicles and recommended the project highly.

General Manager Grove reported that on June 26, 1958 Paul Johnson of the State Board of Health on a routine check, had taken samples of the water at various points in the city. On Monday June 30 the State Board of Health had called here informing us that they had picked up coliform organisms in several of the samples and recommended that we immediately attempt to trace the source of this contamination and in the meantime to chlorinate the system. Working in close cooperation with the State Board of Health, according to Mr. Grove, our crew cleaned and sterilized our pump wells, chlorinated and filled a nearby abandoned well, chlorinated our Jordan spring and well, but still there was a bacteria count at the spring, but no longer a count on the system. On advice of the State Board of Health, General Manager Grove declared that an emergency existed and recommended on that basis that the Board immediately purchase and install an automatic chlorinator to be a permanent installation to the gravity and upper system of water mains. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly second- ed by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", General Manager be author- ized and instructed to immediately purchase and install such a chlorinator on the above basis as the manual application of chlorine was very unsatisfactory.

Mr. Grove further reported that he had given copies of a proposed contract to Mr. Gordon Larson of T & L, Inc. for his approval and signature, but has heard nothing from Mr. Larson since that time. General Manager Grove further stated that he would very likely need engineering help in the near future especially in regard to telemetering and valve controls made necessary by the new tank.

General Manager Grove stated that he was still in the process of investigating a desanding system for use at the Wilkin Street Pumping Station and is making up plans and specifications for such a system. In regard to the purchase of land adjacent to McKusick spring, Mr. Grove stated that he had talked to Sheldon Smith once about it, but had been unable to meet again with Mr. Smith to arrive at any decision in the matter. General Manager Grove stated, that as authorized at the regular meeting held on August 7, 1958, he had contacted the engineering firm of Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates and had received from Mr. Steffes of that firm an estimate of the cost of installing the first or main stage of the telemetric controls. Mr. Steffes stated that the equipment, plus preparation of plans and specifications including engineering would amount to approximately 6,500.00. This was not a firm price, but only an estimate made after a preliminary inspection by Mr. Steffis. As authorized, the General Manager engaged the above firm and asked that they proceed as rapidly as possible. A new area in the vicinity of Lily Lake owned by Walter Nelson was discussed as already Mr. Nelson has requested that water mains be install- ed to furnish water to future homes to be built in that locality. No action was taken. General Manager Grove stated that with freezing weather rapidly approach- ing every effort would be made to install the remaining altitude valves II and control valve on our tanks as soon as possible which might mean the contracting for the installation of said valves.

M. President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Biocri present. Commissioner Peaslee absent. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present, at the request of the Board, was Walter W. Thorpe from Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and 'ssociates, Incorporated. President Kleinschnitz stated that on May 1, 1959, due to the recent illness of General Manager Grove, he, General Mana7er Grove and Arndt J. Duvall, Vice President of Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated, had rnet infcrmally and discussed the possibility and assistance advisability of someAin the matter of engineering services. Specifically, the matter of installing the re maining two altitude valves seemed most important. Those present discussed the problem with Mr. Thorpe who had just briefly reviewed the system. On motion of CommiE3sioner Bloom, duly seconded by President Kleinschnitz, both voting "Aye ", the Board engage the services of Mr. Thcrpe or others on a temporary basis to expedite the installation of the altitude valves and any other services that the Board may see fit. meeting adjourned. There being no other business, on motion Attest: Secretary 339 Stillwater, Minnesota, May 14, 1959 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday May 14, 1959 at 4:30 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the regular meeting held on April 9, 1959 and the special meeting held on May 4, 1959 were read and approved. The Secretary stated that on May 5, 1959 a representative of the Pure Oil Company had made inquiry regarding the leasing of certain property, owned by the Board of Water Commissioners, in Block 19 of Original Town. The Secretary suggested that the Pure Oil Company write a letter to the Board stating exactly which land it desired and other pertinent details. Since no letter had been received, no action was taken. The matter of air conditioning was again discussed, brought about by an expensive changeover in certain instances. The Board felt that the air conditioning resolution was the first step of a long range program to curtail water usage by air conditioning units. On motion of Commission- er 'loom, duly seconded. by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", all new air conditioning units installed must be of the water conserving type, and that those older types be converted as quickly as possible as the Board sees fit. Upon the recommendation of IIr. Walter W. Thorpe of Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated, the Board, by contract dated May 13, 1959, engaged the Acton Construction Company to provide labor and equip- ment to install the two remaining altitude valves, namely those at West and North Hill Tanks. Because of the sudden death of Mr. Arth a.r Collinge, who had been engaged to install the Dorr - Clone Desanc'in g System immediately upon its arrival, it became necessary to make other arrangements. The unit, according to recent advice from. the factory, was to have been shipped on May $. The Board deemed it an emergency to install said unit immediately upon arrival as recommended by Mr. Thorpe. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", Mr. Thorpe be instructed to draw up a contract in the amount of ;1210.00 between the Board of Water Commissioners and Pioneer Power Sales, Inc. of St. Paul for the furnishing of labor and esuipment for the installation of the desand'ing unit upon its arrival. 840 All Cemm4celoners having approved each individuel hill, Commissioner Bloom offered the following reolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye": Resolution No. 722 Resolved by the Board. of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1301 Labor April 1-15, 1959 Fay Roll No. 1302 Labor April 16-30, 1959 Pay Roll No. 1303 Salaries April 1959 The First National 75ank,Stillwater Withholding Tax April State Treasurer PERA dues for April 7innesota Hospital Thrice Ass 'n Cur's for TJay 1959 Minn.

Attest: • j "`. c` Z Secretary Stillwater, Minnesota, July 9, 1959 Special Meeting: A special meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners, called by the President at the request of the City Clerk, was held on Thursday July 9, 1959 at 3:30 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were Mayor Andrew Madsen and City Clerk Brower. President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting was being held for the purpose of discussing the contemplated sewer billing and asked the Mayor to report on what had been done and what he had in mind. Mayor Madsen stated that the City would like to start billing sewer rental as soon as possible, as already sewer expenses have been incurred, and wondered whether it would be possible to bill and collect sewer rental charges by the Board of Water Commissioners. There was considerable discussion, both pro and con, regarding the possibility and advisability of such a set up. Several dis- advantages were explained by Water Board personnel. However, all were agreed that in any event more clerical help would be needed to handle the sewer billing. The Board felt it unwise for them to take on the additional billing for several reasons. It was suggested by the Secretary that the City do the billing and collecting, but that the Board offer them the use of its available equipment, namely Addressograph, Billing Machine etc at times so as not to conflict with the water billing, and that water depart- ment personnel cooperate and instruct City personnel in the use of such office equipment. The above suggestion was put in the form of a motion by Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", it was carried. There being no other business, on motion meeting Attest: � ourned. Secretary 1 1 1 1 343 Stillwater, Minnesota, July 9, 1959 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday July 9, 1959 at 4:30 P. M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. The minutes of the regular meeting held on June 11, 1959 were read and approved. Mr. E. L. Peaslee having been reappointed as a member of the Board of Water Commissioners for a term of three years from July 1, 1959, the present membership of the Board with the date of expiration of their terms now stands as follows: V. Willis Bloom Board Member July 1, 1960 A. W. Kleinschnitz, President July 1, 1961 E. L. Peaslee, Vice President July 1, 1962 Commissioner Peaslee moved that Commissioner V. Willis Bloom act as temporary chairman and Harold L. Foster as temporary secretary. Motion carried, all voting "Aye ". Commissioner Bloom moved that A. W. Kleinschnitz be re- elected President, E. L. Peaslee Vice President, Herbert S. Grove General Manager, Harold L. Foster Secretary and all other elective or appointive officers be continued as last year at the same terms until further action of the Board of Water Commissioners. The motion was unanimously carried, all voting "Aye ". The problem of moving water service .boxes in connection with the widening of South Third Street in front of St. Michael's Church and School was discussed. No action was taken. General Manager Grove stated that in regard to the application for water by Walter Nelson and others in West Pine Street, it is very unlikely that water can be installed this summer. According to the City Engineer, grades will not be established this summer making it unwise to install water mains until such time as the future grade is known. The Secretary read a letter dated July $, 1959 from Lyle J. Eckberg, Attorney for Louis J. Savageau and William D. Klapp,.owners of certain real estate located on Olive Street Road approximately west of the Olive Street. Tank. Mr. Eckberg made application for approximately 3001 of water main for Which they would agree to pay the complete cost. The matter was briefly discussed with the possible idea of installing a water main larger than 6 ", charging only for 6 ", taking the matter of future expansion into consideration. No action was taken. 44 The Secretary read the Preliminary Draft of the Report on the Stillwater Water Distribution System and the 750,000 gallon Olive Street Water Storage Tank, dated July 1, 1959 from Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated. President Kleinschnit z felt that to make a comprehensive study and discussion of this report, an adjourned meeting should be held expressly for that purpose and set Thursday July 16, 1959 at 4:30 P. M. for such a meeting. Mr. Arnold M. Steffes from the above named firm would also be present at the meeting. General Manager Grove reported that City Engineer Ehlinger would not approve the job of replacing the blacktop on South Greeley Street. The Secretary was instructed to write to Wolff Construction Company of St. Paul informing them of that fact. General Manager Grove stated that Herb Michaelis had been in the office and made application for water service to his home now under construction located outside of the city, one block south of Orleans Street. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the above installation be approved, the entire cost, including connection charge, to be borne by Mr. Michaelis. General Manager Grove recommended that Owen Thomas be given an increase in slaary as the Board sees fit. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", the hourly wage for Mr. Thomas be set at $1.75 per hour. Closing of the Water Board Office on Saturdays as is the practice in other city offices was discussed. No action was taken.

M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present was Mr. Arnold M. Steffes from Tolt z, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc. Mr. Steffes elaborated on the Preliminary Draft of the Report on Stillwater, Minnesota Water Distribution System and the 750,000 Gallon Olive Street Storage Tank, dated July 1, 1959 and allowing Board Members to ask pertinent questions. Mr. Steffes specifically recommended as the first necessary step to fully utilize the new 750,000 gallon tank that the 12" water main be extended from Brick and Olive Streets to Oak and Greeley Streets at the present. time. The line will connect to the existing 12" at Olive and Brick Streets, run south on Brick Street to Oak Street, and then east on Oak Street to the 8" line on Greeley Steeet. This extension will require approximately 2500' of 12" cast iron pipe with the necessary valves, hydrants, and fittings. The estimated cost of this line is $30,000.00, including engineering. The engineering cost on a job of this size, according to Mr. Steffes, would be 70 of the cost of the job. Mr. Steffes also recommended, as being equally important, that the existing check valve located at the Third Street Pumping Station should be replaced with a slow- acting, cushion type check valvd thereby eliminating the sudden pressure 34b surges during starting and stopping of the pump. The valve should be of the type that will not open until the pump is up to speed and be inter- connected with the pump motor so as to be 90 to 95 percent closed before the pump shuts down. This valve should be similar to the Golden - Anderson electric, double cushioned check valve, Figure 173 -D. A 1i" piped by- pass with a Williams -Hager or Apco Silent Check Valve shall be installed around the cushioned check valve. This check valve can be replaced and the by -pass installed at an estimated cost of $2,000.00. Mr. Steffes recommended MJ cast ikon pipe for the extension and an Apco valve on the by -pass at the Third Street Station. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the Board engage the engineering firm of Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc to completely engineer, with the exception of a full time inspector, both of the above named recommendations namely the installation of approximately 25001 of 12" water main with appurtances and the furnishing and installing of a new check valve at the Third Street Station. It was brought to the attention of the Board that the Manager of the Telephone Company had taken it upon himself to order an alarm to be placed at the Fire Department to signal a failure of the telemetering system and also had made arrangements to install a phone extension there and to remove the extension from the home of Harold Foster. The Board felt that it was capable of making such decisions and it was unanimously agreed that at the present time no alarm nor extension would be installed at the Fire Department. The Board agreed to the recommendation by Mr. Grove that both the alarm and extension be installed at his house and that the extension be removed from Harold Foster. Although obtaining necessary grades for the installation of the 12" main is a responsibility of Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc., the Board thought it would be advisable to write a letter to the City Council asking them for their full cooperation, because of the time element involved, in the matter of furnishing the engineering company with the proper grades. The Secretary was instructed to write such a letter. There being no other business, on motion meeting adjourned. Attest: ///o Secretary elt 347 Stillwater, Minnesota, August 6, 1959 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting; of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, August 6, 1959 at 4 :30 P.M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were City Attorney Douville and Mr. Gilbert Benson. The minutes of the special meeting held. on July 9, 1959, the regular meeting held on July 9, 1959 and the adjourned meeting held on July 16, 1959 were read €end approved. Mr. Gilbert Benson spoke in regard to the existing ror.d which runs Easterly from the old Olive Street Road to the new water tank. Under a present agreement, only the Board of Water Commissioners and Bensons may use this roadway. Since Mr. Benson plans to sell some of his property East and West of the tank, he was interested in some arrangement whereby persons building in that area could have access to their property thereby making it a public road. Several questions arose in regard to such a plan. General Manager Grove emphasized the fact that homes in the immediate vicinity of the tank would have very inadequate water pressure. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "AYE ", the matter in regard to a roadway be referred to General Manager Grove and City Attorney Douville for settlement. The Secretary read a letter from Hartford Insurance Company regarding a claim in the amount of 016.17 against them by the Board of Water Commissioners for a hydrant broken by Moelter's truck. The insurance company offered to settle for X250.00. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the Board refuse to accept such payment, and the collection of the full amount of the till by turned over to the City Attorney. The matter of widening South Third Street between Walnut and Willard Streets taking into consideration the existing water services serving those customers was discussed. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Peaslee, all voting "Aye ", the Board lower, but not move, the affected service boxes which actually will put them in the street near the gutter rather than in the sidewalk where they would normally be. General Manager Grove stated that recently a bad leak had developed on a private line running Northerly in North William Street from Hickory Street. There were no previous records showing the location of this pipe nor was there any main stop to control the pipe. The street had sunk 3'0 considerably and needed immediate attention. Mr. Grove got Moelter's shovel as well as a couple of trucks to meet the emergency. There are three custom- ers on this private line. Mr. Grove recommended that the Board absorb part of the cost of the necessary repairs since the Board was unable to shut off the line making the bill run considerably more than normal. On motion of Commissioners Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner. Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the Board agreed to adjust the respective bills of the consumers involved charging them what would be normal for a like job. General Manager Grove reported that the Dorr -Clone Desanding unit was doing a good job, but that recently large amounts of sand had been slough- ing off in the well in such quantities that the Dorr -Clone was -Linable to handle it. He further stated that very likely in the near future the pump would have to be pulled and dynamite shot in the bottom of the well. This, however, cannot be done now because the pump cannot be shut down for any length of time until the warm and dry weather is over. The matter of furnishing water outside the City Limits was discussed at some length. The Board felt it advisable to establish a policy in regard to this matter. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commiss- ioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the Board arrange a joint meeting at an early date with the City Council for the purpose of discussing a policy of serv- ing consumers outside of the city. General Manager Grove recommended that Herbert W. Lange and Etsfern D. Andrews be given an increase in pay. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye ", the hourly wage of Herbert W. Lange and Etsfern D. Andrews be increased to 4'2.15 and 4`,2.10 per hour respectively effective August 1, 1959.

All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were Mayor Madsen, Councilman Charlsen, Tennant and Jewell. President Kleinschnitz stated that the Board had received several requests for water main extensions outside of the Corporate Limits of the City of Stillwater. Because of the increasing demand for water within the City, the Board felt it's first obligation was to serve it's present consumers. The Board also felt it should take into consideration the policy of the City Council in extending sewers to persons living out- side of the City. The policy which the City Council has taken, according to Mayor Madsen, is to install no more sewers outside of the City Limits. After some discussion it was the unanimous opinion of all present that there should be no more water or sewer extensions made outside of the C /The matter of installing private water lines in,City streets was dis- cussed at some length. Several reasons for their discontinuance were pointed out by the General ManaLer and Secretary. General Manager Grove recommended that no more private water lines be run or extended within the City. A private water line, as defined by the Board, is any water service other then cast iron and which will not furnish fire protection.

All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present were Herb Lange and Vern Andrews, Water Board Employees, and Mr. Jack Keys of Keys Well Drilling Company. President Kleinschnitz stated that the meeting was being held for "4 the purpose of discussing and acting upon the acute sand condition at the Wilkin Street Pumping Station. President Kleinschnitz deemed it an emergency as the Wilkin Street Pump could not be used to furnish water and sought advice from Mr. Keys. Mr. Keys recommended that the well be surged and pumped with air which would tend to loosen the sand thus enlarging the area of percolation resulting in a decrease in the velocity of the water entering the open hole, but in no way affecting the amount. Mr. Keys further stated that he had obtained good results in most cases from this procedure and felt it worthy of a try in preference to shooting the well. The charge for this service, according to Mr. Keys, would be at the rate of 420.00 per hour with an estimated time of 50-100 hours. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", Keys Well Drilling Company be engaged to perform the above operation at their earliest possible date which was tentatively set for September 9, 1959.

There being no other business, on motion meeting adjourned. Attest: Secretary. Stillwater, Minnesota September 22, 1959: Special Meeting: A special meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners, called by the President, was held on Tuesday, Septrmber 22, 1959 at 4:00 P.M. President Kleinschnitz and Commissioner Bloom present. Commissioner Peaslee Absent. Also present was City Attorney Douville, George Keys, Arnold Steffes and several contrqctors. President Kleinschnitz stated that this meeting was called for the purpose of obtaining a progress report on the sand removal at the Wilkin Street Well from George Keys and also to open bids on the 12" Oak Street Water Distribution System. George Keys stated that approximately 40 yards of sand had already been removed from the well and that in his opinion the well was cleaning up nicely. When our pump is installed he will know very definitely to what capacity the pump can furnish sand free water. Mr. Keys also recommended that the Dorr-Clone drsanding equipment not he put back into service because of the damage done by the sand before it enters the desander. The Secretary stated that 5 bids for tle 12" Oak Street Water Distrlb- ution System had been received. President Kleinschnitz proceeded to open the bids with the following results: 1 BID PRICE CERT.CK.

There being no other business, on motion meeting adjourned. Attest: Secretary. Stillwater, Minnesota, October 8, 1959. Regular meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, October 8, 1959 at 4:00 P.M. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Also present was Mr. Walter Nelson. The minutes of the regular meeting held on September 10, 1959, the special meeting held on September 15, 1959, and the special meeting held on September 22, 1959 were read and approved. The matter of installing 6" water main in Sixth Avenue South from Burlington to Orleans Street was discussed. Since a sewer is to be laid in that street and because of the rock condition anticipated, the water main could be laid in the same trench with the sewer. Since only one new consumer apparently is interested in the water at the present time, the Board thought it wise to further investigate the future use of property on the East side of Sixth Avenue, now owned by the School District, before making a decision. The matter of installing a 6" water main in West Elm Street from Everett to Martha Street to furnish 4 new homes to be built by Swager Brothers was discussed. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Bloom, all voting "Aye", the Board install approximatel y 295' of main at a cost to Swager Brothers of $1300.00. Walter Nelson appeared before the Board asking for water mains to furnish lots owned by him in Blocks 10, 11, 12, and 13 in McKinstry and Seeley's Addition. Since Mr. Nelson is in no immediate need of water there until spring, the Board felt that more investigation and planning as well as consultation with the City Engineer would be ad- visable taking into consideration that whole area west of Hemlock Street. The furnishing of water to the new Senior High School was brought up, but until an application is made by the school and an order given to get the main to Sixth and Marsh Streets, no action was taken. The Secretary reported on the progress of the Keys Well Drilling Company at the Wilkin Street Well and at the present time it looks as though 500 GPM of sand free water might be the maximum pumping capacity. After some discussion, the Secretary was instructed to write to Dorr- Oliver Incorporated informing them of the unsatisfactory manner in which their desander has operated. The Secretary reported that Councilman Charlsen had been in the office in regard to a recent bill rendered the City in the amount of 539.74 for the relocating and furnishing of a new hydrant at the corner of South Third and Pine Streets which the City Council had refused to pass. Ater much discussion, the Secretary was instructed to write the City Clerk in'orming him that the City Engineer had authorized this work and that it is up to the City to pay for it. Also, to be included in the above letter, notifying the City Council of the location of approxirately 15 hydrants in tae City hich are in such condition that the Board of Water Commissioners will assume no responsibility of their operation and that they should be replaced as soon as possible. The City has been notified of this condition in previous years, but have done nothing about it. Resolution No. 728 Resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater that the following bills be, and they are hereby allowed and checks ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: Pay Roll No. 1316 Pay Roll No. 1317 Pay Roll No. 1318 The First National Bank, Stillwater State Treasurer Minn.

Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, November 12, 1959 at 4:30 P.M. Vice President Peaslee and Commissioner Bloom present, Vice Pres- ident Peaslee presiding. Also present were Walter Nelson, Shields Smith and City Engineer Ehlinger. The minutes, of the regular meeting held on.October 8, 1959 were read and approved. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, the following resolution was adopted: Resolution No. 729 In Tribute To The Memory Of Arthur W. Kleinschnitz. WHEREAS, Arthur W. Kleinschnitz was at the time of his death on the " 9th day of November, 1959, a member of the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, having served as a member of said Board continuously since his appointment by the City Council on the 1st day of July, 1932, and as its president since the 1st day of July, 1933; and WHEREAS, the said Arthur W. Kleinschnitz, by his unfailing devotion to duty, did render significant and distinguished service instrumental to the growth and development of this community and to the general welfare of its citizens; BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota, that in memory of the said Arthur W. Kleinschnitz and in recognition of his long and faithful public service, the Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to enter this Resolution upon the official record of proceedings of said Board, and thereupon to forward certified copies thereof to Anna Kleinschnitz, widow of the late Arthur W. Kleinschnitz, and to Muriel Reiland, his daughter. Adopted by the Board of Water Commissioners this 12th day of November, 1959. Attest: Secretary. Vice President Mr. Walter Nelson requested that water mains be installed to serve an area owned by him which lies West of Hemlock Street within the City. Mr. Nelson had hoped that water mains could be installed the same time as the sewer. The only way that could be done would be if Mr. Nelson engaged James D. Wolff Construction Company or others to furnish and install water mains as per specifications and approval by the Board of Water Commissioners, Fire Underwriters and the State Board of Health. The Board of'Water Commissioners has no means to finance such a project on an assessment basis. Mr. Nelson was referred to the City Council to finance such an installation as they saw fit. The Secretary of the Board III of Water Commissioners was instructed to write a letter to the City Council approving the extension under the above conditions: At the request of the Board, Toltz, King., Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated, are working out future plans for installing suitable water mains, valves,etc. The matter of installing 6" Cast Iron Water main in Sixth Avenue South at the same time the sewer is being laid was discussed. As estimate of 1 the cost of installing this main in the sewer trench (rock condition) was in excess of `510,000.00. Since there is little likelihood of any building on the East side of Sixth Avenue and only one house on the West side which is interested in getting water, the Board felt that they could not justify such an expenditure for 10201 of main and only one new consumer. A proposal dated November 9, 1959 from Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated, was read which outlined their fees for services on a retainer basis. The Board felt that it should investigate the proposal before taking any action. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded by Commissioner Cs4 Bloom, the salary of the Secretary be increased to 550.00 per month effective November 1, 1959 and that his title be Assistant Manager. The Secretary was also instructed to write a letter to Clark Grove regarding the house in the rear of the Water Department and also write a letter to the General. Manager complimenting him upon his recent improvement.

Attest: /V/ 1-cp:1 Secretary. Stillwater, Minnesota, January 14, 1960 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Coinmissioners was held on Thursday, January 14, 1960, at 4:3C P.M. All Commissioners present. President Peaslee Presiding. Also present was Mayor Madsen. The minutes of the regular meeting held on December 10, 1959 and the special meeting held on December 17, 1959 were read and approved. Mayor Madsen stated that he was present to make a request to the Board that it engage the engineerinL firm of Banister Engineering Company to T--4 ,--handle the West Pine Street Watermain job. The reason for this request ca4according to Mayor Madsen, is because of the fact that Banister Engineer ing Company is handling the sewer construction in that area and by includ- ing the water main installation in the same job, the City would have all of the improvements included in one engineering job, one assessment and one bond issue. The Board agreed unanimously to the above recommendation and the Secretary was instructed to write a letter to Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated, to that e'fect. The Assistant Manager reported that Dorr-Oliver, Incorporated had very Irecently installed a new valve in the desanding equipment which made the unit totally automatic. He further stated that a 6" vortex had been order ed to replace the present 10" vortex which should give far better results in the range below 750 GPM. The pump was recently run at the rate of 550 GPM with good results. The matter of salary and wage increases was discussed. The Assistant Manager recommended that all employees be given an increase and also that Owen B. Thomas be put on a monthly rate rather than hourly as he has been In the past. After some discussion, on motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Olsen, all voting "Aye", the following changes in rate were established effective January 1, 1960: Herbert W.

All Commissioners present. President Peaslee Presiding. Also present was Mr. Peterson of Banister Engineering Company. The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 14, 1960 were read and approved. Mr. Peterson outlined briefly the proposed plans for the bituminous surfacing and curb and gutter for South Fourth Street from Orleans Street to Willard Street. This project, most of which is to be borne by Municipal State Aid funds, is identified as M.S.A. Project 82- 101 -01.

In South Fourth Street South of Churchill Street there is a 10" main which runs in the center of the street through at least three manholes. In South Fourth Street North of Churchill to Pine Street there is no water main at the present time, those homes being served by private lines which are very old. There was some discussion on the subject but Ino action was taken.

Karl Burandt spoke regarding the recent action taken by the City Council in the matter of street improvement of South Fourth Street from Orleans Street to Pine 3treet.

The Pure Oil Company did not know how much land it might desire, but intimated that they would like a ten year lease on the property, if found satisfactory, and be willing to pay around X7200.00 per year rental.
