Dennis McAlpine reported on the condition of the

type control (type 203) so that it won't water log.

(Mac's Well and Pump Service) to install a new type 203
pressure tank. Seconded by Norman Freske, all Board Members
voted in favor of the motion.

application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Extended
Business. He has one employee to answer phones for his
business of Richfield Fire Sales and has two East Tonka

Cleanup Day which Monticello has each year. On that day they

to the people bringing in the items. They arrange to have a
sanitation truck on hand, another truck and person on hand
who will take the scrap iron and another person who takes the
small household appliances. They do not accept hazardous
waste as Wright CO. will probably have a special day to
accept that. Mr Simola volunteered his help to set up plans
and assist Otsego if they wish to have a Junk Amnesty Cleanup
Day.
Steve Glatzel, who lives at 16200 62nd St., appeared
