Mr. Hopperstad moved we table this matter until we have an answer from the State Health Department and settle the question about restrictions. Mr. Robert Dillon and Sheriff Talbot: Mr. Dillon said some of the facets of the situation have changed since last time he was at the meeting. The Sheriff's office has been answering their calls. There are signs.on the Carlson property now. Mr. Cox read a letter received from Mr. Bert Carlson, the owner of the land in question stating this was private property and no one can be on it without written permission from the owner, also giving permis- sion for our police to remove anyone trespassing on this land without written permission. Mr. Talbot stated Mr. Carlson had given permission to the vans to be on this land. The residents were annoyed all night when the 25 vans occuppied this land. Mr. Dillon feels there should be supervision over this land. They also need some assurance that when they call the Sheriff's office that there will be some response. We have directed our attorney to check into this matter so we can have some control over such situations. Someone stated that in Minneapolis if over five to ten people are gathered together that there must be a police of- ricer present. We will talk to the owner about this situation. Our attorney will check the Minneapolis ordinance on such situa- tions. Mr. Cox spoke about the self-help concept we have stressed in our Newsletters. The Sheriff stated there were only 2 cars on duty for the County in the day time and 2 on the second shift...for the entire County. There are many problems in the County Parks.
