The City Manager next referred to a resolution accepting a bid for the
installation of municipal well #7 in Evergreen Park immediately adjacent to
proposed Camden Avenue, He related to the Council that the concept of additional
wells stragetically located on the perimeter of the subject park was established
in the early 1960's as a result of the Black and Veatch engineering report. He
stated that within the very recent past there had been expressions from the
?ark and Recreation Department and Commission regarding the effect which the
proposed wells would have on the integrity of Evergreen Park. A discussion
ensued during which the Director of Public Works informed the Council that the
subject well #7 represented a "crash" project to meet the drastically increased
water demands anticipated in the summer of 1970 and created by the high rate
of new connections to the municipal water system in the southeast area of the
City. Although it was contended that the subject well #7 location will not
Interfere with activity areas of Evergreen Park, it appeared to be a consensus
that future planned wells be located other than in the park. It was also a
consensus that any future "foreign intrusion" proposals for City parks be reviewed
by the Park and Recreation Commission.

The Council and staff next discussed the regulation and operation of
snowmobiles in the City of Brooklyn Ceritar. Councilman Willard reported to the
Council on the ad hoc committee of the Hennepin County League of Municipalities
meeting he conducted on December 23, 1969. Willard said the purpose of this
meeting was to formulate a consensus on uniform municipal snowmobile regulations
within Hennepin County to be eventually submitted for approval by the Minnesota
Commission of Conservation. Considerable discussion ensued among Council
members and the City Manager during which there was expressed a reluctance
to depart from the snowmobile curfew provisions of the recently enacted snow-
mobile ordinance. In recognition, among other things, of the Conservation

condition of his approval thereof, a motion was made by John Leary and seconded
by Earl Rydberg to authorize Councilman Willard to support the ad hoc committee's
recommendations. Voting in favor were: Philip Cohen, John Leary, Earl Rydberg,

unanimously.

to the extent of providing for midnight curfew hours on Friday and Saturday nights.
