- c.1/20/75 dangerous. The Coon Rapids Building Inspector, Mr. Prause, had checked out the building and stated the joists were broken and the house could collapse. Mr. Johnson asked what he could burn there. He was referred to the State Fire Wardens, of which we have three in Ramsey. Mr. Goodrich suggested Mr. Johnson get in touch with the PCA about this matter. Mr. Johnson agreed to have this problem taken care of by May 30, 1975. He was asked by the Council to furnish us with a letter authorizing our police to ar- rest anyone found on the premises. Mr. Goodrich told him to post the property. Mr. Johnson said he would put an ad in the paper to tear down the barn. He doesn't want to Zear down the house. Mr. Cox suggested he inquire about selling thebarn wood to collectors, etc. Mrs. Oliphant moved we require Mr. Johnson to board up his house by March 30, 1975. Seconded by Mr. Reimann. Motion passed unanimously. Garage Loader: It was decided that as long as the loader was not used much in the winter and that it had a tank heater, that they would garage it in Wilbur Chapman's barn for free. Mr. Mickelson stated the Highway Department needed a torch for cutting and welding. They had a price of $357.00 from National Oxygen Co. which included a torch,~cart, etc. They could get the same price from Sears but it would not have the tanks. National Oxygen wants $15&.O0 for a l0 year lease on tanks. They had a price of $139.50 for a grinder, which is also needed. If we had some of these items, the men could do a lot of their own equipment repair work right here in the garage. The Berg Oil Co. had delivered fuel oil into the gas tank and then had to pump it all out and replace it with gas. Some of the equip- ment ran with this mixture of fuel oil and gas and then the tanks on the equipment were pumped out that day. We will write a letter to Berg Oil Co. complaining about this matter. Mr. Mickelson read the letter from the Minnesqta Highway Depart- ment concerning the intersection of Highways $5 and #&7. They will not be doing anything at the present time to change this intersec- tion. Mr. Eickelson moved Mr. Mevissen can purchase up to $100.00 of any new device needed by our Highway Department without coming to the Council first. Seconded by Mr. Reimann. Motion carried unanimously. Findings on Rezoning the area south of Highway No. l0 to the Miss- issippi River from the Planning & Zoning Commission, were read by Mr. Cox. Mr. Gorham moved we authorize the Clerk %o set up a date of Feb. ll, 1975 for rezoning at a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. and to notify all adjacent property owners of this hearing. Seconded by Mr. Mickelson. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Cox read a letter he had received from Mr. Hutchison of the County stating the depositing of waste sludge from other treatment plants is not permitted at the landfill.
