A regular meeting was held at the Municipal Building on June 6, 1949.
Members present:
Oscar Odegard, Mayor; Emil Parent, Dan Bailey, R.A. Ellingson, Trustees; H.A.
Briggs
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Odegard. The minutes of the last meeting were read and
approved.
Al Embretson was present and inquired as to the possibility of building several tourist cabins on his
property on the main highway. The Clerk was asked to look up the minutes for several years back to
see if there has been any resolution against tourist cabins in Elk River.
The matter of the State Examiner’s bill for the Village Audit was brought up. For the reason that the
village does not have enough money on hand to pay this bill a motion was made by Ellingson,
seconded by Briggs and carried unanimously to pay the bill with a registered warrant and make a
special assessment for the amount plus ten percent.
The Rural Co-operative Power Assn has asked permission to attach to the village sanitary sewer
when their new building is started. A motion was made by Ellingson and seconded by Parent that
the clerk be instructed to write the State Water Pollution Control Commission for permission to do
this. Carried.
A motion was made by Parent and seconded by Bailey to appoint Wm Patenaude Jr a member of
the Power Light and Water Commission in place of Vernon Skellenger who is unable to serve at the
present time. Motion carried.
