On the above date New Scandia Town Board held a special meeting
to review the proposed Watershed District for Forest Lake
including Judicial Ditch 1 and Comfort Lake.
The following Board Members were present: Chairman, Charles
Nordin, Edith Hadlich, Kevin Nickelson and Paul Rasmussen. Duane
Thompson was absent.
Mr Dennis Hegberg reviewed the possibility of creating a
Watershed District for Forest Lake including Judicial Ditch 1 and
Comfort Lake to replace the Forest Lake Water Management
Organization.
Questions were asked by the public and board members, "Why would
you disband with the Forest Lake Water Management Organization
when this organization works so well?" Mr Hegberg informed the
audience that the county has to get rid of Judicial 1
responsibility and that the Forest Lake Water Management
Organization works well, but others in the county do not.
A petition will be filed with the Minnesota Board of Water and
Soil Resources to form a Watershed District and they will either
deny or accept the petition.
John Morrison
Mr John Morrison reviewed his benefits with his former employer
and union and stated the hospitalization benefits are banked
until approximately May 1, 1997. Basically these monies are Mr
Morrison's and when Mr Morrison was employed he was stated the
salary of $11.25 per hour, plus benefits.
Edith Hadlich made a motion to pay Mr John Morrison for his
benefits. Paul Rasmussen seconded the motion and motion adopted
unanimously.

township office and stated the garage is for sale and asked if
the township would be interested in purchasing the building.
