the problem of office space for the Minnesota Department of Manpower
Services. The Job Mobile Unit presently servicing the area had been
transferred to another area due to emergency purposes. Mr. Adolf Erickson,
Manager of the area Manpower Service Office in Wilmar, Minnesota explained
that there were no funds allotted for rental of office space in this area,
and therefore was in a difficult situation as to finding office space
rent free. It was noted that a temporary office was presently in operation
at the Chamber of Commerce office, however, it would not be feasible to
make this arrangement permanent. After considerable discussion Mayor

tiveness in this area of the Department of Manpower Services, and that the
subject be placed on the Agenda of the next Regular Council Meeting.

the amount of $25.00, payable to the State of Minnesota for filing fee
was acknowledged. After considerable discussion, Alderman Linder moved
that sewer and water hook-up be extended to Mr. Santleman's property
pending proper procedures for annexation and that the extension also be
approved to Mr. Dunning's property upon receipt of proper notification of
intent to annex, &payment of the work needed in one lump sum. Alderman
Lueneburg seconded the motion and it was carried. ;...;.

7 West, stating that his property had been included in the recent Orderly

payment in one lump sum of the service charge. Alderman
seconded the motion and it was carried.
