The meeting was called to order by Chairman Floyd Roden. The
minutes of the April 18, 1983, Town Board meeting were approved
as read.
Don Goth appeared before the Board to discuss a drainage pro-
blem in the Township road ditch in front of his lot (Lot 5, Block
5, Walesch Estates, 2nd Addition, 7761 NE O'Brian Avenue). The
ditch along the road is not taking the water away. The Board ad-
vised him they will come out and inspect the ditch.
David Cecka appeared before the Board and officially signed
a contract with the Town Board to serve as Dogcatcher for the Town-
ship.
Motion by Douglas Lindenfelser to levy a fine of $10.00 for
the first time offense of having a dog running at large and picked
up before the dog will be released, $25.00 fine for the 2nd offense
and a $50.00 fine for the third offense. Seconded by Floyd Roden,
passed unanimously.
Glen Lindenfelser appeared before the Board to discuss the
drainage problem on his lot located on Service Road adjacent to
Co. #19 in Section 25, Township 121, Range 24. The Board advised
him that Meinrad Dalieden will install a culvert under the service
road and clean out the ditch along the service road. Mr. Rodney
Sundat, a neighbor of Mr. Lindenfelser, also appeared to discuss
the drainage problem by his lot as his driveway culvert is blocked.
His driveway culvert is small and was in place when he purchased
the home. He requested the Township to replace the culvert but the
Board advised him it was not the Township policy to provide drive-
way culverts.
Motion by William Schulz to install a culvert under the service
road (size needed to be determined before installation) clean out
the ditch, clean out the culvert under Mr. Sundet's driveway, or
install a new culvert if he wishes to furnish one. Seconded by
Floyd Roden, passed unanimously.
Darwin Courteau appeared before the Board to discuss the rough
condition of 65th Street, Quale Avenue and 61st Street. He inquired
if Black Magic could be placed on the road to help smooth it out.
The Board replied they did not feel Black Magic would be the answer.
The Board agreed to see what repairs are needed.
Pete Raatikka appeared before the Board to discuss the repair
of 62nd Lane. It will be necessary to get a letter of consent from
Al Schwab permitting the Township to drain the water away from the
road across his lot.
Motion by William Schulz to place a 1" to 2" bitunimous over-
lay to repair the surface of 62nd Lane. Seconded by Floyd Roden,
passed unanimously.
Mr. Raatikka will get an estimate of the cost of applying the
overlay and will secure the letter of consent from Mr. Schwab.

Mr. Bullock appeared before the Board to see what progress
had been made about cleaning up the lots of Mark Posley and
Ronald Webber. Mark Posley has agreed to remove one car and the
other has a current license. Mr. Salkowski has advised the Board
that there is nothing in the Wright County Ordinance that can be
implemented to force Mr. Posley to repair his well. William
Schulz suggested that Lani Will contact the Wright County Health
Nurse to see if there were any violations of Health Department
standards that could be implemented to cause Mr. Posley to have
his well be repaired to operating condition.
Proceeding as a Board of Audit, the Town Board auditied and
allowed verified accounts Nos. 82 to 124, inclusive.
