ADJOURNMENT
ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA
Meeting No. 71 -7
I T E M
D -1* The Planning Commission recommends denial of the request
for vacation of part of Payne Avenue north of Larpenteur
and approval of the other requested vacations with con-
ditions regarding payment of assessments and reversion
of the ownership of the sanitary sewer on Kingston. The
staff concurs with the Commission's recommendations.
G -1 Awards will be presented to Councilmen Greavu and Wiegert
for service to the Ramsey County League by Mr. Romero.
H -1* It is recommended that the new Federal -State holiday
schedule be adopted. Lincoln's Birthday (under our present
system) provided a 10th holiday for 1971 and alleviates
any need prior to 1972. We contacted 8 communities in
Ramsey County, six of which have adopted the new schedule.
Of the two which have not yet adopted t'e schedule, one is
awaiting the outcome of the 49er negoti_- .tions and the other
is considering the new schedule with extra days. Of those
adopting the new schedule, four provide for the 9 days and
two added extra days. The 49er negotiations may or may not
change the situation.
H -2 Acceptance is recommended. A final bill is being prepared.
It is reported that the bill will be about 10% lower than
was originally estimated.
H -3 This item should be stricken from the agenda.
H -4* The Village of North St. Paul requests approval of the
concepts set forth in my memo of February 4. You authorized
the condemnation of right -of -way for the intersection, but
did not approve the concepts set forth in the memo. The
approval, which is recommended, will cause North St. Paul
to revise its plans for presentation to Maplewood.
I -1 Several refuse haulers have failed to meet our insurance
or bond requirements. They were informed that if they did
not do so on or before February 17, 1971 their licenses
would be suspended and that they should appear before the
Council and show cause why the suspensions should not be-
come permanent. I suspect that all or most will be correct-
ed prior to the deadline.
I -7.* The Parks and Recreation Commission has requested that the
Council take action to request that the Winter Carnival
treasure hunt not be located in Maplewood again. A list
of damages is enclosed. I believe the St. Paul Pioneer
Press - Dispatch is the sponsor of the hunt.
I -3* Planned unit developmenets for the northwest corner of
DeSoto & Larpenteur (Ed Hillstrom) and the southwest
corner of Stillwater Road and Stillwater Avenue (Inland
Construction Corporation - Zacho property) have been pro-
posed and hearing dates should be set for late March or
early April.
I -4* The change is architectural and approval is recommended
by the staff and the Planning Commission.
I -5* Both lot divisions are recommended, one (Atlantic Street)
with the condition that outstanding deferred assessments
be paid.
I -6 It is recommended that the Building Inspector be placed
on a regular retainer payment method rather than being
paid by a portion of the permits issued. The payments
to the Building Inspector has ranged from $9,785. to
$8,762. over the last three years. An annual fee of $11,000
to be paid monthly, is recommended. This compares with
the $10,800. to be paid the Assistant Building Inspector.
Building permits alone returned $30,450. in 1970.
I -7 This agreement will turn the Battle Creek interceptor
sewer over to the Board. We receive credits on our bills
for it. Approval is recommended.
I -8 Tight specifications for the furnishing, delivery,
installation and 12 month maintenance of emer,oncy vehicle
optical signal phase selection equipment have been prepared
for the following locations:

bingo games on a second evening (Tuesday from 7:30 to 11:30
P.M.) at the Gladstone Hall at 1375 Frost Avenue. They
presently are licensed to operate on Wednesday nights only.
Section 802.020 (a) of the Municipal Code allows up to two
nights for one association. Approval is recommender',.
I -10 Kleo Lewis, 608 Price Avenue paid for a water improvement
in 1962, but it was mistakenly placed on the a:: >sessment
rolls. Authorization is requested refund the $344.84 he
has paid on the assessment to date and to cancel the remain-
ing $197.66 balance.
OTHER Enclosed is a letter from Judge Kirby requesting permission
to appear before the Council. It is recommended that this
be allowed as item I -11 of the agenda.*
It appears that the Police Department's estimation of a
drastic deadline in snowmobile complaints was somewhat
optimistic.*
On February 1, 1971, four new officers were appointed to the
