and/or developer stated that it had the apprOval of the Township, but in fact it had not. It was stated to have had only partial scrutiny and verbal conformance, but no formal approval or ac- ceptance. Elaine Gilbertson moved to suspend further action on the plat of Carter Valley until written notification of its ac- ceptance by Ramsey Township is received." Mr. Hopperstad moved we accept the Carter Valley plat as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commmission: to make an outlot of lots 7, 8, 9, lO~ ll, 12, 13, and l~ in Block l; lots ~, 5, 6, and 7 in Block l0 to be designated for park as they are adjacent to the park we already have in Brookview Estates plat; and that the present road be closed from 17Oth Ave. N.W. and Helium St. N.W. on the south going north to 172nd Ave. N.W. and Germanium Street. The balance of the money would be in cash. Also that the new City of Ramsey would have the first opportunity to purchase the outlots when the time comes that the developer wants to sell them and if the owner wants to enter into an agreement with the Township or City. Seconded by Mr. Nel- son. In view of the fact that we do not have the dollar and cent amount for the balance of the park fund to be paid in cash, Mr. Hopperstad withdrew his motion. Mr. Reimann moved we table this plat until we can calculate the value of the land and a definite exit out to Highway #47 is determined. Seconded by Mr. Hopperstad. Motion carried, Mr. Neilson asked if the Township would advise them as soon as we have made a decision on the amount of money to be paid for parks. The owner can save himself a lot of money by furnishing the acreage of each lot. Mr. She stated the developer could do this himself without going through the engineer. Dog Catcher: Mr. Cox stated the Board had received a letter of resignation from the dog catcher, Mr. Walton, after about a three hour visit from Mrs. Oliphant. Mr. Hopperstad stated that as long as Mrs. Oliphant had been working on the dog problem, he moved that she find a person to replace Mr. Walton at the same rate of pay. Mr. Reimann stated we should not accept Mr. Walton's resig- nation and that someone else should go out to talk to him about it. Mrs. Oliphant stated she had not asked him for his resignation. A lady in the audience stated Mrs. Oliphant had suggested Mr. Guy Walton get a high school boy to help him and that this amounted to the same thing. Mrs. Oliphant stated Mr. Walton had lied about the matter. Mr. Hopperstad's motion died because of a lack of a second to it. Mr. Hopperstad withdrew his motion. Mr. Hopperstad moved we not accept Mr. Walton's resignation and. ask him to stay on as dog catcher. Seconded by Mr. Reimann. Motion carried. We will write Mr. Walton a letter and Mr. Nelson will go out to see Mr. Wal- ton. Mr. Pittman stated there is a rumor going around the Township that he had purchased a lot for $3,500 and sold it for $3,000. Ail indications were, from the information he had received, that he had gotten the lot from a builder for nothing. Also the rumor stated he had been accepting bribes and that he had shown partial- ity to some builders. He wants the Town Board Members to know that he never bought or sold a lot in Ramsey Township and that all builders have been treated alike. Mr. Cox stated
