ITEM 3-4-67 BIDS Mr. Quentin Wood presented a letter to the Council on the biuminous material, gravel and crushed rock. In this letter he made recommendations based on his study of the bids. He recommended that the biuminous material be awarded to Black Top Service; that the M-C o, M-C 1, and M-C 2 oil also be awarded to Black Top Service even though they are the high bid as the low bidder is 14.4 miles from the Village and not 9 miles as shown on the bid sheet and also the fact that the Village normally picks up a load of bituminous oil along with the load of bituminous material and this would require that the Village make two trips to pick up the different materials to two widely scattered locations in the area rather than one trip. + 1 I- 07 y4 LA_ 4 c� z COUNCIL MEETING 2 28 March, 1967 He recommended that the low bid on the gravel be awarded to Riverside Gravel and that the low bid on the crushed rack be awarded to Bryan Aggregates. A motion was made by Arthur Miller, seconded by Alvin Bren to award the bids based on Quentin Wood's recommendations. The bid on the M-C 0, M-C 1, and M-C 2 oil be awarded to the high bidder and not the low bidder due to cost factors in procuring the material from the low bidder as it would be cheaper to procure the oil at the same place the bituminous material is procured even paying a higher price for the oil. The motion carried. Petroleum Products.

ITEM 3-6-67 DICK STOCKSTEAD Mr. Dick Stockstead appeared again before the Council requesting a Special Use Permit for the Southwest corner of West 78th Street and Eden Prairie Road. !— Ve reported to the Council that Mr. Stockstead had appeared at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on March 21st and at this meeting, the Planning Board +¢ had recommended approval of the permit for the filling station at this site. ca -� Mr. Stockstead stated that he had received the necessary re-approvals from the Col State Highway Department for the entrance changes that he had made. There had been no change on the entrance on the County Road, therefore, it was not necessary for the County to re-approve this. Motion was made by Paul Redpath, seconded by Alvin Dren to grant a Special Use Permit to the Sun Ray D-X Oil Company for a service station on the Southwest corner of County Road #4 and State Highway #5 (Eden Prairie Road and West 78th Street) and to include with it the special provisions supplied by Midwest Planning for service stations for Eden Prairie.

ITEM 3-20-67 FIRE DEPARTMENT The Fire Department had requested that the Village procure certain items of equipment so that the men could participate in training work with the various communities who have volunteered to assist them in their training program. and it was felt that these were very vital items to the department as without them the men could not proceed with the training program and it would be necessary once they actively engage in the fire protection program for the b community. F There was discussion as to how the purchase of this should be handled. It was felt that this was an expenditure of Village funds and should be handled under 1 procedures established by the Council for expending Village funds for equipment and/or supplies for the Village. The Fire Department is to provide the necessary information and recommendations and the Village will act on them and the purchase order is to be signed by the Clerk for the Village.

They recommended the first year be a one year terra followed by a four year term. There were some other areas where some minor word changes were considered. Mr. Osterholt asked them when their by-laws and constitution would be available. They advised that within a week or less they would have the by-laws and con- stitution drawn up and Mayor Osterholt suggested that we meet with them to go over the ordinance and the by-laws and constitution so that the three papers are not at cross purposes.
