<br />VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER COUNCIL MEETING <br />May 3, 1965 <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Elk River Village Council was held at the Village Hall on May 3, 1965 <br />with all members present. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Johnson. The minutes of the <br />last meeting were read and approved. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Harry Dreissig was present. The Fire Department would like to take out Less Derr’s <br />office in the Fire barn and move the toilet back to the back of the building making more room for <br />the Fire trucks. They also suggested connecting to the regular sewer at the back of the building and <br />agreed that the firemen would be willing to do some of the work. <br /> <br />The Fire Chief also stated that the village will soon need a new fire truck. These matters are being <br />given consideration. <br /> <br />For the reason that the sewer was recently plugged up what appeared to be part of a cow’s stomach <br />which apparently came from the Elk River packing plant, the clerk was asked to write them to install <br />a proper trap within thirty days. Some towels were also found in the sewer. <br /> <br />L.G. Lamm was present asking about his request for re-zoning on his property. After discussion a <br />motion was made by Hudson and seconded by Bartelt that Lamm’s petition be denied. Motion <br />carried. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Bartelt and seconded by Hudson to ask the Planning Commission to <br />recommend to the council at this next meeting rezoning on both sides of Highway 169. Carried. <br /> <br />Jerry Jackson, representing the softball league was present and requested that the village install lights <br />on the softball court at the park. Upon motion by Norris and second by Hudson the village <br />appropriated $140.00 for this purpose. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Bartelt and seconded by Norris to appropriate $450.00 for the summer <br />swimming program.
