FIREMEN: Several firemen from the Village were present, requesting the
Council to upgrade them as to whether a site has be located for the Municipa
Building, Councilman Tessness gave a report on the progress that has been
made.
The firemen stated their financial situation and asked if the Council could
pay for the housing of their trucks? The Council replied that they would
not let the fire department down, they were sure something could be worked
out.
Secretary -Treas Jack Lambert asked the Council if they would levy at least
1/10 of a mill for their relief association? The Council stated that the
Firemen should have a meeting with the department to find out if this mill
levy is really needed this year, or if they could wait until next year;
because the Council stated that we are levying so much for the Municipal
Building, and we just can't raise the taxes much more. If the firemen de-
cide that this is really necessary, it should be brought up at the next
Council meeting and it will be discussed further.
The Council instructed the firemen to proceed with their plans for the
fire station (Municipal Building) the site will be available.
The Council asked if the fire department could have one man and the truck
available next Monday and as many days as needed to flush out the Village
Sewer Lines. The Council in return would re- imburse the Fire Department for
their services.

SHERIFF MELCHERT The Council requested that Sheriff Melchert and
Officer Klein be present at-9:30 P.M., The Council told the Sheriff
of the financial problems concerning the Police Department. Officer
Klein has been taking care of a large area surrounding the Village,
not in the Village limits, and therefore the Council feels that he
should go where his services are needed, but in return the Village
should be re- imbursed from the County for these services, because
the Village tax payers are entirely supporting the Police Department.
The Council asked the Sheriff if something couldn•t be worked out
along this line. The Sheriff replied that the County is short of
Policemen, and that by having the Chanhassen Patrolman, patrol the
Northeast corner of the County would enable the residents in this
corner to have good police protection. The Sheriff suggested that
a meeting with `the County Commissioners to arrange the pay schedule
and acceptance of this area policing be arranged. The Clerk is to
make the arrangements.
Engineer Flatebo gave a report on the progress of the Construction work
in the Village. He stated the lift station on the Road to Sunrise
Hills will be delivered October 1, 1966.
OEP was discussed, Mayor Coulter and Engineer Flatebo to take care
of composing a letter.

meeting in October to discuss his proposed building where his liquor
license will be used.
