a counter offer on the Clinkscales Trust property. Motion by
Mr. Tralle, seconded by Mr. Zabee to accept the offer of the
Trust for the purchase of the property described in the offer
to be attached to and become a part of these minutes. The
motion carried unanimously.
5) The General Manager and Line Superintendent reported that the
Minnesota Department of Transportation would only allow a
permit for us to build a new feeder to the area West of Lake
Orono with underground cable. This cost will be significantly
higher than what was projected in the budget.

of construction projects and other operating conditions.
7 ) Motion by Mr. Tralle, seconded by Mr. Zabee, to approve the
check register.

10) Bob McCartney, Water Superintendent, reported on the status of
all Water Department projects under construction at this time.
He further reported that all customers we were aware of that
were in jeopardy of freezing their service had been notified
in person of the possibility of freezing and possible remedies.
Bob also reported that the water mains in the Cherry Hills
development had frozen and it cost the Utilities $3,200 to thaw
them. As a preventative to a recurrance, he reported that some
hydrants had been opened to promote water flow in the mains.
This is causing some problems in the area, but we can see no
other alternative.
11) The next meeting was set for Tuesday, April 5, 1994 at 3 :00
P.M. at the Utilities office.
12) Motion by Mr. Tralle, seconded by Mr. Zabee to adjourn. The
