Reed Bales e�
JoEllen Hurr reported that Mr. Bales had asked for some modifications to what was believed
to be the final agreement for operation of his wood chipping operation at 4300 Willow Dr.
She stated that he would like to be open for operation one half hour longer each day; have
six months to correct any noise problem; construct a holding tank within 18 months and not
specify a stated number of acres for wood ship storage.
Larry Blomquist, Attorney for Mr. Bales, stated that there is a $20,000 bond in effect with
the city, for development purposes, plus a bond in the amount of $1000 to cover any breakup
of Willow Dr. He explained that they would like to construct a fence 6" above the berm as
they need some space to allow police to survey the property.
Michael SAnkey stated that they had two burglaries and need sufficient openness for sur-
velence.
Mr. Blomquist proposed that the fence be constructed in four stages:
1. A 4 ft. fence on top of berm immediately, (100 ft. north and 225 ft. south)
2. Complete the fence to the south and north property lines.
3. Complete along the north property line.
4. Extension of the fence on the north in the area of storage, which is now one acre in size.
5. If the woodchipper cannot keep up with the stored material then extend the north fence.
Thomas Anderson stated that he wanted a 6 ft. high fence.
David Piper stated that the fence along Hwy. 55 would need to be 32 ft. high if material
was to completely screened.
Mr. Blomquist stated that they needed additional berming material.

Willow Dr. project.

Hwy. 55 Gas Line
Al Swintek of Minnegasco explained that the minimum that it would cost to construct a gas

he would submit a proposal to the company for repayment of $44,000, by the city, over a
three year period.
Thomas Anderson asked that the Attorney notify the city on Wednesday as to whether or not
city funds could be used for the project, and that eh would be willing to call a special
meeting within a day to take formal action.

three years provided that the city attorney determines that the procedure is legal.
