interests are taken care of.
On motion of Councilman Wohlers, seconded by Councilman Peterson, Mr.

adjoining his property and replace with a surface that is complacent
for the loading and unloading of trucks with a rolled type of curbing
to channel the storm water in the gutter and the arrangements should

REPURCHASE OF 1963 PARKING FACILITY BONDS
Mr. Gary Gilbertson of Robert C. C. Peterson, Minneapolis has $10,000 worth of
12-1-83 and $10,000 worth of 12-1-84 Parking Facility Bonds of 1963 which he
wishes to sell back to the City for $14,550.00 which would be a discount of
$5,450.00. The savings on principal on the first issue would be $2,700.00 and
savings of interest of $4,200.00 and on the second issue the savings would be
$2,750.00 in principal and $4,550.00 in interest, for a total savings of
$6,900.00 and $7,300.00 respectively.
In checking with the Bookkeeping department we find that we have
$40,000.00 now invested from this issue.
Mayor Powell called Mr. Ozzie Springsted, our bonding consultant as
to whether or not that would be a good investment and Mr. Springsted
stated he would check it out and call the Mayor back on January 6,
1971.
On motion of Councilman Lammers, seconded by Councilman
Wohlers, the Council concurred that they would follow
the recommendation or direction, of Mr. Springsted on the
repurchase of these bonds.

the $1,500.00 for the parking permits sold for 1971.
On motion of Councilman Lammers, seconded by Councilman Peterson
the Mayor was directed to write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce
for the balance of the parking permit money for 1970 in the amount
of $300.00 plus the $1,500.00 for the 1971 permits.
Also the Mayor was directed to include in this letter the $500.00
for the parking meter tokens which the Chamber purchased for sale
to the merchants. (copies of this letter to go to Richard Jeans
of the Parking Committee)
Discussion was held regarding courtesy parking at certain tides of the year and
the Council members were not fully aware of this practice which was initiated
ej some years ago and the Chief was directed to discontinue this practice since we
are losing revenue and we have financial obligations to meet on these parking
lot bonds.
