Stephen Schmit stated that the city should start the process for collection on the bond.
Ron Batty stated that a letter should be gotten, from the owners, acknowledging that the
cities snowplowing of the road does not constitute the cities acceptance of the road.
Anne Theis asked if an assumption could be made that when the city accepts a bond and
work is not completed the city may not be able to collect on that bond. If so, perhaps
the city should not accept bonds.
Doug Malikowski asked what the status of the development contract was regarding issuance
of building permits, and he also asked who would pay for the blacktopping.

but he did know that Steve Wirtjes would pay for the blacktopping.

as an entrance from Tamarack Dr.

this were not a farm.
