<br />were Mr. Gorham, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Peterson, Clerk,
<br />and Mr. Goodrich, Township Attorney.
<br />
<br />Motion was made by Mr. Gorham that Mr. Murphy
<br />be the temporary chairman tor this meeting in the
<br />absence of Mr. Scarborough.
<br />
<br />The minutes of the last stated meeting were read.
<br />Mr. Gorham moved the minutes be accepted as read.
<br />Seconded by Mr. Murphy.
<br />
<br />Mr. Goodrich stated the Teslow Auto Sales on
<br />Highway No. 10 had been contacted by letter about
<br />cleaning up the old cars they had parked out in back
<br />part of their grounds.
<br />Mr. Pittman stated Mr. Bauer had contacted him
<br />about the building permit for his building..
<br />
<br />Minutes of the last Planning and Zoning Commission
<br />meeting were read by the chairman, Mr. Reimann.
<br />
<br />With regard to the item about bricks being stacked in
<br />a street in Ramsey Township, it was stated fhat the
<br />constable had been asked to check out this matter.
<br />
<br />On March 1st the Planning and Zoning Commission
<br />will hold a public hearing on the new platting ordinance
<br />which has been drawn up for Ramsey Township.
<br />
<br />Mr Gorham moved that we hold over any
<br />reco~mendations of the Planning and Zoning
<br />Commission until the next meeting because, due to a
<br />misunderstanding, a Republican Caucus meeting will
<br />be held in this hall at the close of the Town Board
<br />meeting tonight.
<br />
<br />Street Signs: About 6 or 7 street signs in the township
<br />have already been lost or damaged. These signs will
<br />not be replaced. Mr. Dennis Anderson said someone
<br />has leaned one of tM signs up against the side of his
<br />garage.
<br />
<br />Mr. Murphy suggested we check' the township
<br />insurance to see if this sign damage is covered.
<br />
<br />Fir~ Calls: The International Sales & servic';- on
<br />Highway No. 10 and the Dickenson family have been
<br />contacted several times about this fire call. The
<br />Township'Clerk, Mr. Peterson, sent a registered notic.e
<br />to them to appear at the April meeting about thiS
<br />matter.
<br />
<br />We have a $169.00 fire call bill from the Elk River
<br />Department. This call is being paid. All fire calls must
<br />be paid when re~eived.
<br />
<br />voter registration has been held Feb. 17, 18, 19 and
<br />22. Voter registration. will be closed until after the
<br />annual township meeting. Anyone wishing to register
<br />may do so after the election at Mr. Peterson's ~ome.
<br />The next election will be the School Board election on
<br />May 16, 1972. There is a question as to who will stand
<br />the expense of registration for the School Board
<br />election.
<br />
<br />Three people have filed for .,supervisor, Barbara
<br />Greet, Arnold Cox, and David Mikelson. Election is on
<br />March 14 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Town Hall.
<br />The annual meeting will be held the same night
<br />starting at 8:30 p.m.
<br />
<br />Dog Ordinance: Some change will probably have to
<br />be made in the ordinance to cover this problem: In
<br />order to get a dog back after he has been picked up by
<br />the dog catcher, the owner must pay the proper fees
<br />and fines but the ordinance does not require that the
<br />dog be vaccinated at this time if he has not bee.n
<br />vaccinated within the specified length of time and thIS
<br />could only be done either by releasing the dog or
<br />having a veterinarian come to the dog pound which
<br />would be very expensive. This matter is being held
<br />over until the next meeting.
<br />
<br />Audit: This will take place on March 7th for the Town
<br />Board members, Town Clerk and Town Treasurer.
<br />This meeting is open but no one else present but those
<br />mentioned above can take part .in the meeting.
<br />
<br />DeZielson Highway No. 10 have applied for a Sunday
<br />Liquor license.
<br />
<br />Fire Contract: Anoka quotation is $1006.38.
<br />
<br />Cigarette License: We have received one application
<br />
<br />so far.
<br />
<br />Mr. Jack Menkveld was present with a plat of Pine
<br />View Estates. The owner is Gilbert A. Menkveld. ThIS
<br />.. plat is next to Greenland Hills and the request had been
<br />made that a road be laid out in Pine View Estates to
<br />line up with a road in Greenland Hills plat. They w~re
<br />told to refer this back to the Planning and ZOning
<br />Commission as long as so much time had elapsed since
<br />it had been presented previously to the Commission.
<br />
<br />There were people present who were complaining
<br />about land that is being taken on County State aid road
<br />NO.5 to widen this road. The people said they were
<br />being paid so little for this land and that it was putting
<br />the road too close to the front of their homes. In order
<br />for the state to get federal aid on any road the road
<br />must be 120 feet wide.

<br />Mr. Ralph W. Talbot, County Sheriff. has contacted
<br />the Town Board. He thinks the Township should have a
<br />full time sheriff available with a car. The amount
<br />taken in burglaries and theft lnot including autos or
<br />vandalism) for the past year was $32,608.60. A
<br />comment was made that what we needed was not a
<br />sheriff's car but an unmarked car for a sheriff.
