AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
Item 1. Award Sale of Municipal Liquor Store.

After reviewing references, past business experience, etc.,
and considering amount of bid I would recommend the award
of bid go to Earl Lindenfelser. The amount of $135,000
approximates what the city council expected to receive from
the sale.
Should the sale be awarded at Mondays meeting the following

agreement being entered into immediately with.. $1,000
earnest money payment made.

myself to review procedures for smooth transition on August
8, 19'75. This review would include inventory procedures,

tem 3• Presentation of 19 4 Audit Re ort b Dale Johnson of Gru s Johnson
Mosford & Associates.
You have all received a copy of the audit report for review.
Mr. Johnson will review highlights of audit report and answer
any questions you Wray have. To minimize valuable meeting time
should you have any question that you~re concerned about please
feel free to contact me and I'll give you an answer.
tem 4. Review of cost estimates for street im rovement b the hos ital.
Estimate on this project was about $1300-$1500 with grade of
street to the south to allow for drainage. Our engineer,
John Badalich feels a crown should be put on the street to
provide for more adequate drainage resulting in revised
estimate of approximately $3,000. At last meeting it was
decided city would pay 100 of cost if work was in line with
initial estimate. Possible solution would be to share costs
with hospital and dental clinic on 3-1 basis if hospital board
and dental clinic agreed. It is a unique situation and can be
argued from many angles. Hospital points out that .street should
be as wide as all other streets in town, however, if it were
not for the curb and gutter, improvement would have been less
likely if ever made at all.
em 5. Review of Dutch Elm Disease Pro 'ram

Since Dutch Elm program not going full scale until June only
major expense thus far has been 2 of loader for X10,000.
On Thursday, July 10, 1975 I attended Public Hearing in St.
Paul regarding Grants-in-Aid program for Municipalities authorized
by 1x75 legislation. The program serves as a subsidy to property
owners and since Monticello already is subsidizing property
owners through reduced rates the City would qualify for funds.
It wor.rld appear the city could receive up to $25 per tree
removed after June 1, 1975. A report would be sent in monthly
to the state on trees removed and city would receive rebate in
approximately 30 days of ter report filed.
Item Ei. ~proval of On Sale intoxicating liquor license - Wayside Inn.
Way-side Inn has filled out application and meets requirements
of new city ordinance regarding insurance coverage and Surety
bond. Since this is a renewal of a license, a public hearing
-4-
is not necessary. License fee to the Wayside would be $2250 and
next year they will be brought up to present fee of $2500 as
provided as the exception in our ordinances.
Item 7.Elimination of Office of Justice of the Peace.
Minnesota Statutes 412.02 subdivision 5 provide that a City Council
may by ordinance eliminate the office of Justice of the Peace
whose office has been abolished or when an earlier vacancy. occurs.
Bill McPherson has moved out of town and has subsequently resigned.
Since this office has been relieved of all its duties except an
occasional wedding ceremony, I would recommend the City adopt
the enclosed ordinance eliminating the off~yce.
