Mr. Daryl Karklus appeared at the meeting to discuss the possibility
of the city plowing a lane onto Little hluskego Lake during ice fishing
season in order that traffic can move easier. Mayor Gottfried advised
the committee that this could encourage additional traffic on the lake
and there is a possibility that the city would be liable for any
accidents on the lake since they would be encouraging use of the
lake by cars.

the city deepen and widen a ditch which traverses through his land
from the Schaefer property to Woods Road. The committee noted that the city's consulting engineers, Ruekert & Mielke, are preparing a
