recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe remarked that the bids will have
to be submitted to the State for approval. The length of time it takes to re-
ceive their reply will determine when a final recommendation will be made for
awarding contracts.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe further commented on a piece of property
owned by Lydia Huesgin, Parcel No. 1596.00, located on Madson Avenue. He has re-
ceived reports that there are large rodents in the area which are believed to be
coming out of this house. An exterminator has been contacted to go into the house
and fumigate. Mr. Priebe has talked to Dr. George Smith, City Health Officer,
as well as several others regarding the necessary steps to be taken regarding
this property. The owner is in a nursing home, and she has agreed to an adjusted
lot value of $4,000.00 on the property. Mr. Priebe feels the county assessed valu-
ation is too high.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the motion was made
by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Haag, to adjourn the meeting at 10:15
A.M. Motion carried unanimously.
