until year 2000.
TIMMERMAN'S LETTER TO JUDGE LUNDELL & ATTNY. GHERTY: Burch reported
we received a letter from the Attorney General's office and the
State recommends non prosecution at this time because of lack of
any new evidence in the Neumann case.
Timmerman is in the progress of preparing a letter to Judge Lundell
and Attorney Gherty. Irwin suggested having Judge Lundell come
before the committee to answer any questions. Consensus of the
committee is to have him receive the letter first.

by process servers. He picked the center of each municipality and
then used a compass to determine the new mileage. Motion to
approve the new charts of mileage from the Sheriff by
Krueger/Mehls. Carried.

security recommendations from the US Marshal. He did not recommend
more personnel but different procedures. He strongly advised we
reestablish a security committee.

the St. Croix Management Commission is trying to accomplish on the
river as to setting the guidelines for wakes, speed limits and
