Safety - Councilman Thomas reported that many motorists were making left turns
because drivers were unable to see the no left turn signs - signs need to be larger.
Councilman Miron reported that the State Highway Department plans to replace
these signs with larger signs affixed to the traffic signal.
Councilman Thomas reported that there is also a problem with motorists making
U-Turns around the median south of the courthouse but that this would be checked
out with the State Highway Department also. Held in committee.

Department be authorized to install radio equipment in the GMC ambulance. Council-

Trailer & Mobile Home - - Business License Revisions
Councilman Sampson reported that the Planning Board is currently working on a
model trailer court ordinance. Changes in the zoning ordinances will be necessary
and it will be necessary to have public hearings for proposed zoning changes. The
committee plans to consider this further after receiving more information from the
Planning Board on trailer court zoning.
The committee is still reviewing business license requirements and is considering
requiring a license for every business in the city, with one license to cover the
activities of the business rather then requiring several licenses from the same
business as is true in some cases at present - restaurant license, soft drink,
cigarette, etc. - The committee is considering charging a standard fee for each
business (except liquor and beer,' which would require additional licensing)
This license fee would help to pay the expense of inspections.

ing appreciation for Mr. Saveruds many years of service to the City as a member of

Councilman Miron introduced Mr. Austin Miller. Mr. Miller said he represented
Northridge Farms. The recent SID for Northridge Addition #4 necessitated extend-
ing a serer main through property outside the city. (Oscar Olson Development)
The property being outside the city could not be included in the SID but it is
felt that when these properties do come into the city and connect to sewer service
they should be charged a connection charge (about $250.00) this charge should be
used to help defray the expense of the SID. The number of lots involved would -
contribute approximately $6,000.00.
We request that the Mayor be authorized to enter into contract to get $250.00 sewer
connection charge to apply to SID expense. We propose to pay the $6,000.00 and
reduce the amount of the assessment for the SID from $98.000.00 to $92,000.00, and
to be repaid as these properties pay the charge to connect to the sewer.
RESOLUTION #2897
