Bob suggested that the Correspondence and Committee reports
be reviewed before tonight's council meeting.
Jim Worthington gave an update on the Martin property behind
Ricci's. This afternoon around 4:00 p.m. he got the final form.
The City has to file a statement with the Yellowstone County
Clerk and Recorder, which will be done tomorrow. The garage will
be torn down sometime this month.
Today Exxon is out of Riverside Park. They are through
with their line placement there. They have moved south and will
make 2 road crossings and then come back and make a crossing
near Bernhardt Road. The line was installed across the river
severalweeks ago. Dave reported that they will have to be
carefully watched when they install the north crossing because
they will cross both of our water mains.
Bob Gauthier reported that the City was served court papers
today regarding the Butler sewer problem at 616 Cottonwood. Don
Hackmann stated that Alexsis, a claims and risk management service
for MMIA, will be handling the case.
Jim Worthington reported that last Thursday the Highway
Department had the bid opening for the construction on Maryland
Lane from 6th Avenue to Washington. It has been awarded to Midland
O'Leary and construction should start in the near future.
Bob Gauthier encouraged everyone to turn in their 1991-92
budget requests. Budget meetings will begin April 15th at 5:00
p.m.

Darrell McGillen said that he was approached by the Home
Front Committee for Desert Storm here in Laurel, regarding the
Fire departments participation when the servicemen come back.
They would like to see the servicemen greeted like they do
with the basketball teams. No one seemed to have any problem
with this. It will be done every time a serviceman returns.
Darrell said that he would not take the trucks out of the City
limits.
Chuck Rodgers had a couple of calls regarding trash collection.
Dave Michael said that the truck was probably full and the
route will be completed tomorrow.
City clean-up is scheduled for April 20th. Dave will put
a notice in the paper that alley clean-up will be the week
of April 22nd.
Bruce Teeters commended Jim Worthington for his efforts
between the State and Montana Rail Link for cleaning up under
the underpass and railroad crossings. It's nice to see some
communication there and that we are working together. Donna
Kilpatrick agreed with his comments.
Dave Michael reported on a seminar that he attended in
Helena recently regarding water testing. In 1993 there is
going to be additional mandatory water testing which could
cost up to $7500. There are new Federal EPA regulations that
will take effect. There will be 17 pesticides and PCB's and
18 BOC's, nitrates, asbestos and others to test for.
Discussion regarding the City's quality of water. Dave
said that we have a very good water supply. The acceptable
level of minerals, etc., in the water is way under the
standards that have been set.
Discussion regarding the unsightly pile of coke east of
town. This will be brought to the attention of the City/County
Planning Board.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Don Hackmann
City Clerk
