Thanks was expressed to all of those who had worked hard to see that these courts were moved into first-clas- s facilities. m The judge explained that approximately 80 percent of all cases in this court will be misdemeanors and he handles everything up to Class B misdemeanors.

Council Meeting President LaRee Pehrson called the Magna Community Council meeting to order and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as corrected. Amoung the items in Mrs. Pehrsons presidents report was a meeting she had with Gary Pollack of the United Steelworkers Union regarding the property line of their building and the Magna Senior Citizens Center. It is believed that a construction survey would reveal that part of the Steelworkers building is on Senior Citizens Center property. However, that survey is not as detailed as a certificate survey which would reveal exact footage, markers, and property lines. The cost for such a survey would by high, informed Mrs. Pehrson. Continued negotiations between the Council and the Steelworkers are planned. A soil study has been completed of the area where the new bleachers at Magna Park are to be constructed. It indicates that the soil is spongy and it will be necessary to have appropriate fill placed in there to support the new planned concrete bleachers.
