M & L ~iquors indicated that they didn't want to readvertise and take a chance on losing their license but they have already been waiting for seven months for Mr. Cable to get started. Councilman Cox stated that when they came before Council with the liquor license request they indicated at that time that Mr. Cable had this all put together. Mayor Gamec informed them that the only thing they can do is surrender the liquor license and readvertise the liquor license opening again.

Mr. Post, who owns the Sunset Motel and is part of this drainage project, also one of the signers on the petition, appeared before Council stating he doesn't want to be part of the project due to the costs involved. He said he is the 3rd highest assessed cost and he has no benefit and doesn't contribute to the drainage problem. He knew that Mr. Grosslein had a problem with drainage and signed the petition to help him. Mayor Gamec stated that there has been a drainage problem in this area. Mr. Grosslein indicated that Mr. Post had signed a blank petition and did not have a chance ~o come to the meeting and he can see' his point and that Engineer Raatikka should check to see how much water does come off his land onto Tungsten. Engineer Raatikka said it appears that a lot of Mr. Post's drainage goes onto Grosslein property. Mrs. Dickenson said she feels if the ditches and culverts were repaired there would not be a problem. Councilman Cox said a determination should be made for proportionate payment of benefitting property owners. Engineer Raatikka said he could take a topo study and review the spreading of costs to see if there is no watershed from Mr. Post's property onto someone else's property.
