12/27/76 Council Page 6 Councilman Reimann said the intent of the motion was to insure the payment of the park fee,which now has been satisfied and as long as we are holding the bond, we can issue building permits. Councilman Gorham said the only requirement after the final plat approval and filing of a performance bond is that the building inspector has to be able to travel on the road. Council informed Mr. Nereson that it is okay to go ahead and issue building permits in Windsorwood. Attorney Goodrich's Report Attorney Goodrich said Council might wish to establish a procedure that no ordinance shall be passed the first time it is presented to the Council to give the public a chance to have input if so desired. Ordinance 76-5 deferred until January lOth meeting. Attorney Goodrich reported that he wrote to Councilwoman Oliphant regarding her absences from Council meetings. Her response indicated that the other members had been absent and missing three meetings in November did not make her negligent. Attorney Goodrich said he thought Council wanted to find a reason for her absences and her letter did not indicate that. Council could therefore charge her $5 for each absence after the first one. Councilman Gorham requested that either Mr. Nereson or Attorney Goodrich contact her and ask her if she expects to be paid for November or December and ask that she submit a letter in answer. Attorney Goodrich asked for authorization for he and Mr. Nereson to attend the January 10, 1977, meeting regarding Critical Rivers. Council consensus is that they should attend. Attorney Goodrich reported on 153rd West - 3 people left to be paid; on 153rd East 3 people have been written, only one responded. They want a formal appraisal and he will rewrite the other two parties. Mayor Cox indicated that Attorney Goodrich should inform them they are being unreasonable. Van Odegaard kennel situation.
