And they don't plan any banges, no curtains on the indows of the city hall; no ags on the floor or flowers n the table. "I don't think it makes such difference if a man or woman holds these jobs," aid Mrs. Kennedy. "We in- !nd to do our tasks in a very usiness-like way." Mrs. Bolke added. "I think MRS.

The phone line to Mrs. 1 he New Mrs. Alyce Bolke! '! Mrs. Alyce Bolke, Eagan township's clerk, has her hands full —especially with area animals —from dogs to gophers. ' Mrs. Bolke has been hard at it, sending out notices ' to all known dog owners, asking them to buy 1967 dog tags. And one of the replies came —not from the dog owner— . but from the dog! Here it is: "Dear Mrs. Bolke: I have moved to Everett, Washington, with the Boss. "Please don't arrest or I won't be able to get my Ken'1 Ration. -Respectfully yours (signed by paw): 'P.S. The frfl:s call me `Skipper'." * * * Rah Rah Gophers? That's one song Mrs. Bolke won't be singing if, with the usual feminine distaste, she has to abide by the bounty law and count paws of dead gophers. The county pays 20 cents a pair, shelling out about $150 a year in bounty money. The tow board last week set up a petty cash fund, not to exceed $100, to help make pay- ments to local gopii hunters. Mrs. Bolke shudders at the thought of counting gopher feet. She also confesses to a lack of expertise, but figures it won't be long before she will be able to recognize a gopher paw from 1,0 feet away. * * • * 1 s, t' c< rr of f r c a fc d, sdi St St ar r.j ati 0., QtrtAAthA Foy riy eR ( di m -6_11(06 tsxst — iic�i�� � inkiliktc6/ .i\JLL}t�Q 0� O.� l ,1/4,Qv•2--Q-x-y 3 a r oc (10 es'►t Satihack wts e kod 3-y preCok& (3-5 otkrs t)—\u, Ati:ep%, (016 ig\cold (3 \Lt at, 4° edli/VJ - w4 Campo/te1-4/i- � f4 • 43ksu.) � Y1NA o rs Qs),5e,c\ � car- b a��o s 11k.k_Nn - _ 4- k .3cLccrylkazdoim---) Mar f)/u. -fitorh C6o. cd000, +lair d Aff4 )4e60,i31/4 tm {a Y6-4 aYd Ot 4%;tg., ‘•01444 6btre .,\.0A.,:•_,.:ALks,__allo-No -ts\rct crsclo Vr I to--- ck4s1.,ova` f *LZ ZCM'A - &r,s4 LiN Alyce T.

Preceded in death by husband Ted Bolke, sister Evelyn Lang, sister -in- law Pat Thornton and brothers-in-law Felix Lang and Ray McCall. Born July 3. 1918 to Michael Thornton and Mary Malinski Thornton of LeCenter. MN. She attended St. Catherine's College and business school and married Ted on May 28. 1938. Alyce was appointed Town Clerk of Eagan township in 1961, issuing licenses and building permits from her kitchen table, and kept all township records. In charge of elections. the night John F. Kennedy was elected she counted huge paper ballots all night. It resulted in a tie for president - one of only two in the entire nation. The population of Eagan Township was approximately 3.000 when Alyce became Town Clerk and approximately 30.000 when she retired as Clerk Treasurer from the City of Eagan in 1980. The individual who took Alyce's place was hired at twice her salary and had two assistants. She also was a member of the Eagan History Committee and was an Election Judge until 2001. A devout and active member of her church. she suggested the present site for St. John Neumann Church. When not attending daily Mass, she was at church volunteering and attending various events. Alyce and Ted moved to Eagan in 1948 and built their home when the area was primarily farms. Shortly, many new neighbors arrived. Neighbors soon became good friends and remain so today. http://www.klecatskys.com/obituaries/Alyce-Bolke/ 8/5/2014 Alyce T.

Two women were elected to office in Eagan for the first time in the township's history in the last township election. Mrs. Helen Kennedy (center), the new justice, is shown being sworn in by Mrs. Alyce Bolke, clerk, who was elected for the first time; and the second township justice, Silas K. Palmer, is also being sworn in. En the background is Chairman Arthur Rahn, left, and Supervisors Edward Schwanz, and Louis Trapp. Later Mrs. Bolke herself took the oath of office from one of the town officials. The swearing -in event took place in the Eagan town hall. on County State Aid Highway 19. Eagan's growth is part of clerk's roots When she hopped up on a cat- tle fence to see the site for her new home, Alyce Bolke didn't know she was taking a step toward a new career. The kitchen of the Bolkes' home in Eagan Township was of- ten a hub of activity, sometimes for handling town business. More than two decades later, the setting is more official. In her modern city clerk's office at Eagan City Hall, a 15-foot schef- flera plant strains to touch the high ceiling. THE SPRAWLING giant seems symbolic of Mrs. Bolke's deep roots in the city's history, of her vitality and Eagan's growth. Growth. It is the story of Eagan. Mrs. Bolke saw it all. She will retire at the end of this year af- ter 19 years as Eagan city clerk and 21 years as a city employee. Neighborliness got her a start. John Jensen, then township as- sessor, lived nearby. "He had said he would take the job if someone would do his books," Mrs. Bolke said. SHE DECIDED to he the cause, working part time in her home. The Town Board later sought her services as a part-time sec- retary to City Clerk Lewis Fisher. After a few months, Fisher quit. A Town Board member made a motion at the next meeting that they appoint Mrs. Bolke as city clerk. It passed. "I went to the meeting as a secretary," said Mrs. Bolke, "and came home as town clerk." The appointment made her the first woman in Eagan govern- ment. It also, for a period of 10 years, meant she had become a true politician. "IN JULY of '62, I had to run for office," Mrs. Bolke said. She won the race, as she did every two years until 1972, when Eagan became a village and the office was no longer an elective one. Two years later, in 1974, Eagan became a statutory city. Mrs. Bolke's memories of Eagan then and now paint a pic- ture of contrasts, as do the old and new city hall buildings built side by side on Pilot Knob Road. "I can remember when they'd stoke up the fire in a pot-bellied stove for meetings in the old town hall," she said. IN THOSE DAYS, there were six city ordinances. Now they to- tal 74. In 1960, Mrs. Bolke said, there were 3,300 residents of Eagan. That is about one -seventh of Eagan's current population of more than 22,000. In her early days on the job, voting was done on paper bal- lots. Three people, including Mrs. Bolke, ran the elections. "Now we use a punch card sys- tem and it takes more than 100 people to work on an election." When she took her job with the city, she was one of four city em- ployees. "THERE WERE two const- ables, one maintenance man and myself, along with the Town Board members." The City of Eagan now em- ploys 68 people, in addition to 90 volunteer firemen. The city budget has increased from $30,000 in the early 1960's to this year's $2,679,000. Eagan's growth, of course, was complete with growing pains. In 1965. Mrs. Bolke moved into an office intended strictly for her use. See Eagan, Page 25 "I've had to grow with the job." — Alyce Bolke Eagan: City is part o 10 Continued from Page 1 S "Within three years, I shared it with four other people," she said. AN ADDITION to the city of- fices building in 1968 alleviated the problem. Along , with higher numbers, there were other high points. Gopher paw -counting was among her official jobs in 1967, when the city set up a petty cash fund to help make bounty pay- ments of 20 cents a pair to local gopher hunters. Alter sending out notices to derk1s roots dog owners asking them to buy dog tags, Mrs. Bolke received a reply, not from the owner, but from the dog: "Dear Mrs. Bolke: I have moved to Everett, Wash., with. the Boss. Please don't arrest him or I won't be able to get my Ken'l Ration." A CAREER in city govern- ment had not been a part of Mrs. Bolke's life plan, she said. While Eagan grew up, so did the Bolkes' five children. "I've had to grow with the job" Mrs. Bolke said. "I couldn't stay the same, either. "I always believed if I wasn't learning, I wasn't growing." She said being a woman never seemed to be a factor in her treatment on the job. "AT FIRST, I was the only woman at the meetings," she said. "But the others always treated me with respect. And when I gave advice, they lis- tened." That advice may be missed. Mrs. Bolke and her husband, Ted, plan to stay in Eagan, mak- ing occasional trips to their suniv, mer home near Ely, Minn.

THEODORE BOLKE, left, clerk, peace. and Mrs. James Kennedy, justice of the —Staff Photo. By DON HEINZMAN Staff Writer Soft, lilting, feminine voi mixed with the heavy mas line tones in the white fra Eagan township hall th days. While these gentler, sw voi,-s contrast sharply with the gruff, more forceful ones of the male town board mem- bers, they do blend in perfect harmony of town government. One voice belongs to per- sonable, attractive, Mrs. The- odore H. Bolke, 1365 Deer - wood dr., elected clerk, who reads and records the min- utes ... in shorthand, some- thing unusual in town hall circles. The other voice belongs to Mrs. James Kennedy, new justice of the peace, who in- tends to hold court in the old town hall —never tried before —and suggests she will be able to pronounce sentences of 30 days in jail or $100 fines, if necessary. Both officials are graduates of St. Cather- ine's college ... unknown to either until they filed. Having women in town hall is a departure from the pio- neer days when three husky farmers usually sat at the town hall table and handled the business of building roads and bridges and passing or- dinances. While some eyebrows were raised when the two women announced they would run for office, both have been well accepted. And they don't plan any changes, no curtains on the windows of the city hall; no Xugs on the floor or flowers on the table. "I don't think it makes much difference if a man or a woman holds these jobs," said Mrs. Kennedy. "We in- tend to do our tasks in a very business -like way." Mrs. Bolke added, "I think at first some men were astounded over having wom- en in town offices, but they have all been very cordial and very helpful." Having a woman clerk has j some advantages. Mrs. Bolke, who lives two blocks from the town hall, takes all her meet- ing notes in shorthand, types her correspondence, keeps neat files —probably the neat- est files in the history of the township. When an irate caller barks into the phone a complaint about dogs, shooting in gravel pits etc., he is quickly calmed by the soothing voice of a woman on the other end of the line. "No man has been dis- courteous over the phone yet," said the clerk. As a result of Mrs. Ken- nedy's and Mrs. Bolke's work in the town hall, more women are becoming interested in town government. At coffee parties, women rather that talk about their children, gar- den, bridge etc., ask about the town meeting the night before. Mrs. Kennedy is one of three women justices of the peace in Minnesota. A medi- cal technician at the Univer- sity of Minnesota hospital, and the mother of two chil- dren, she said she filed be- cause she had always heard everyone should run for a political office at least once. No one filed against her, and she was elected the first JP in the history of the town- ship. She doesn't think the Kennedy name did it, and wishes she had had some l opposition. Since her election the at- tractive JP has been study- ing a special lawbook for jps, and attending munici- pal court in Bloomington; district court in Hennepin county and JP court in St. Anthony. She is waiting to take a special JP course to be o fered by Dakota county. About May 1, she inten to have court tentatively a 8 p. m. on the first and thir Wednesdays in the town hall JP Kennedy, who is als state president of the Veter ans of Foreign Wars auxilia must hear cases involvi violations of the township o dinances, and all the spee ing and traffic cases broug by the highway patrol an the two constables. Asked if a woman mig be more lenient than a ma she answered, "I rather thi Q they would lean the other. way." Mrs. Bolke is enjoying the clerk's position. Before her appointment July 20, she as- sisted the clerk, and the town- ship assessor. And at election time she ran against a man for the clerk's job and won by a 2-1 margin. The phone line to Mrs. Bolke's home is buzzing with calls. In addition, she issues building permits, and the war- rants, keeps records, attends the twice -a -month meetings. And she keeps house for her husband, Theodore. a North- west Airlines mechanic, and her five children ranging in age from 5 to 22; Mrs. lv-ar man (Judy) Mundahl, '1'2; Gloria, 20; Kathleen, 18; John 13 and Cheryl, 5. Originally from Le Cen- ter, she attended St. Cath- erines college for two years before taking a secretarial course. Mrs. Kennedy was born in St. Paul, attended Derham Hall and St. Catherine's col- lege where she majored in chemistry. She worked in Minneapolis and Duluth hos- pitals and now is in the hema- tology department at the Uni- versity hospitals. Both she and her husband, Jim, are active in the Men- dota VFW organizations. Jim, who fully approves of his JP wife, is in charge of the inter- view section in the contact division of the Veterans ad- ministration. Although some feminine in- fluence has seeped into town government, it is still a man's world in Eagan township. The three supervisors are all gren: Arthur Rahn, Louis app and Edward Schwanz, erb Polzin is the treasurer; Martin DesLauriers and Vern Le Tendre, the constables; iouther Stalland is the attor- ey and Silas K. Palmer is the other JP. While the scent of perfume is present, the odor of pipe kanoke, chewing tobacco and shaving lotion still dominates the political air in Eagan town.

CITY OF EAGAN Annual Report - January 1, 1978 - December 31, 1978 Submitted by Clerk - Treasurer Alyce Bolke As City Clerk I am in charge of elections, licensing and permits, ordinances, resolutions and all offical records. As City Treasurer I am in charge of all finances of the city which includes receipt of revenues, payment of bills and the investment of surplus funds. 1978 was a busy year in the planning department with a record number of applications being filed which required public hearings before the Advisory Planning Commission and consideration by the Eagan City Council. The City Clerks office was responsible for the preparation of legal notices for publication and mailing to all affected property owners and the subsequent preparation of required resolutions and permits. Increased development meant increased construction with a resulting increase in projects and contracts. Two bond issues for these construction projects were sold in 1978 for a total of $3,470.00. We also had one refunding issue in the amount of $1,820,000. The December 31, 1977 bonded indebtedness was $16,370,000 which was reduced by principal payments of $3,780,000 in 1978 leaving a total bonded indebtedness of $17,880,000 as of December 31, 1978. As of December 31, 1978 we had investments totaling $7,805,347.08. By years end we had the beginning of an upswing in interest rates with investments beginning to earn 9.00 - 10.00%. Interest earned in 1978 totaled $440,525.55. Federal Revenue Sharing funds in the amount of $99,270 were received and interest earned was $8195. This was used to partially defray the costs incurred for the new police facility which was completed in October of 1978. Licenses and permits issued in 1978 brought in total revenues of $146,956.62 as compared to $110,575.97 in 1977. Permits included trailer permits, Special and Conditional Use Permits, Signs, Building and Burglar Alarm. The following licenses were issued in 1978: 7 On - Sale Liquor Licenses 3 Off - Sale Liquor Licenses 1 Club Liquor Licenses 7 On - Sale Beer Licenses 11 Off - Sale Beer Licenses 65 Cigarette Licenses 5 Gravel Pit Licenses 3 Kennel Licenses 57 Heating, Vent & Refrig Licenses 58 Plumbing Licenses 11 Rubbish Licenses 155 Vending Machine Licenses 4 Water Softener Licenses 6 Well Drillers Licenses 6 Service Station Licenses 1537 Dog Licenses Before audit and transfers total receipts in 1978 were $1,528,753 and total disbursements were $1,611,447. The only fund deficits will be covered by transfers and the sale of bonds in 1979 for contracts let in 1978. v 1 In 1978 the State and County Primary and General Elections were held with the General Election having a much larger voter turnout than normal. There was an overexpenditure in the election budget of approximately $1000 with most of the extra expense paid for salaries and supplies. Seventy - seven election judges received training. Because of the big election all available judges including alternates worked and an emergency appointment was made on election day to fill a vacancy in Precinct 1. The election budget totaled $7632.61. This did not include any transfer of wages for duties performed by me and other city personnel. There were 2244 votes cast in the Primary Election and 6722 votes cast in the General Election. This averages out to an approximate cost of 85c per vote. In 1978 these were no major work injuries. The following seventeen minor work injuries were reported which were covered by workmens compensation insurance: Police Dept. 5 Fire Dept 2 Public Works Dept 7 Government Bldgs 1 Park Dept 2 The ten reported vehicle accidents in 1978 were in the following departments: Police Dept. 9 accidents - damages of $1966.20 paid by the insurance company.

History of Eagan The history of Eagan is closely tied to the long and colorful history of the entire state. The landscape of this area shows the effects of the glaciers which thousands of years ago covered much of Minne- sota. Most of Eagan was originally overgrown by brush, along with an occasional stand of larger trees, particularly oak. An exception to this was the low lying meadowland of the Minnesota River Valley, plus an adjacent strip of prairie land which extended across the northwest corner of Eagan. The first residents of the Eagan area were the Dakota, or Sioux, Indians. Various bands of native Americans had long been living throughout the entire region. Then around 1740, a small settlement, known as Black Dog's Village, was formed along the Minnesota River, near the present Burnsville -Eagan border. The Sioux had been driven from their traditional homeland near Mille Lacs Lake in north central Minnesota, and were attracted to this location by the nearby trading posts. The people of Black Dog's Village were called "Ma-ga- yu-tesh-ni", which meant "people who do not eat geese," They were so named because they sold game at Fort Snelling. European interest in this region began with the French explorers and fur traders during the 1600's. Although the British gained con- trol of Canada and the Northwest Territory east of the Mississippi in 1763, the land which is now Eagan remained under the French domain and was obtained by the United States in 1803 as a part of the Louisiana Purchase. After early military exploration of the new territory, the United States established a fort at the junction of the Minnesota and Missis- sippi Rivers. Completed in 1824, Fort Snelling served as a stabilizing influence and focal point for American development of the entire region. The original area of the fort included a parcel of land approxi- mately one mile wide extending through Eagan, adjacent to the Minnesota River. It wasn't until -1851, when treaties were signed which moved the Sioux further west, that Eagan and the rest of southern Minnesota west of the Mississippi River was opened to American westward expansion. Those who first moved to Eagan were generally from either Ireland or Germany, along with people from the eastern part of the U.S. These settlers established farms in the area, and agri- culture would remain the predominant activity of Eagan residents for the next one hundred years. The political organization of Eagan began with the admission of Minnesota as a state in 1858. In April of that year, the County Com- missioners drew up the Township boundaries. This area was first included as part of Mendota. Then, in 1861, through a special act of the State Legislature, the Township of Eagan was established within its current boundaries. Members of Eagan's first Board of Supervisors were Patrick Eagan, James Collar, and Robert O'Neill. Patrick Eagan, from whom the City gets its •name, served as the Board's first chairman, and had also been the first Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Men- dota. The elected offices of the Township included three supervisors who served three year terms. In addition, a Treasurer, Clerk, Assessor, plus two Justices of the Peace and two constables were all elected for two year terms. Transportation has long been an important concern for residents of the region. The first roads here began with the Indian trails. Then in 1853, military roads were constructed in the county as part of a system for the entire territory. One of these, called Black Dog Road, went through Eagan. It ran from Mendota into southern Minnesota. Dodd Road, named after the Army captain who surveyed the route was another military road between Fort Snelling and St. Peter. Railroads were also important to the development of the area, and during the 1860's two lines were constructed through Eagan. The Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad crossed the eastern part of the town. Westcott Station, in Section 13, was established in 1866 as a flag station for this rail line. The other railroad through Eagan was the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha, running through the northwestern part of town. Nicols Station, in Section 17, served as a flag station for this line and was opened in 1867. Small settle- ments soon grew up around these railway stations. For the early settlers, the closest source of supplies was in Men- dota. As the population increased, local trading centers were de- veloped. Between 1854 and 1863, Westcott Inn had operated as one of the few rest areas for those traveling through this area. Eagan's first blacksmith shop was begun in 1860, and by 1876 there were four different blacksmiths operating in the township. In 1881, both a post office and a general store were opened at the Wescott Station. Then in 1898, the first 'industry in Eagan began operation; this was a sorghum processing mill owned by Michael Shields. The first school in Eagan was organized in 1859. There were later four school districts in the townships which each operated a school house until the present school district lines were drawn in the early 1940's. Meetings of the Town Board during the early township days were usually held in the old school house No. 14, which was located near the present Northview School on County Road 30. In 1893, the first Eagan Town Hall was built by the intersection of Lone Oak and Pilot Knob Roads. When this later burned, the Old Eagan Town Hall was constructed in 1914 near the center of the town on Pilot Knob Road. This served as the meeting hall until 1965, when the present City Hall was built. An important feature of township government was the Annual Town Meeting, generally held in March of each year. A typical agenda for the meeting included election of township officials, reading of the minutes of meetings held during the past year, levying the tax for current expenses and the road and bridge fund, and any other business which needed to be discussed. Much of the activity of the Town Board for several decades involved the development of roads within Eagan. VI VII A well-known Eagan landmark is the Lone Oak Tree, and the nearby Lone Oak Trinity Lutheran Church, at the intersection of Highway 55 and County Road 26. This tree has served as an official posting place for public notices, and on October 30, 1976, it was officially designated as a Minnesota Heritage Tree. Over the years, the population of Eagan had grown at a relatively slow pace, rising from 642 in 1880 to 1,185 in 1950. During the 1950's, however, with the initiation of the Interstate Highway system and the growth of the entire metropolitan area, Eagan was slowly beginning to change from farmland into a developing suburban community. In anticipation of the growth which would come, the Town Board appointed the Advisory Planning Commission in 1956. By 1960, the first zoning ordinance for the Township was adopted. And in 1965, the Eagan Park Committee was formed. The initiation of construction of the Cedar Grove housing develop- ment in 1959 had a major impact on the City's population. The num- ber of Eagan residents has rapidly increased from 3,360 in 1960 to the present population count in 1977 of 19,276. Industrial growth has also occurred in recent years, beginning with the platting of the industrial parks in the mid-1960's. In addi- tion, construction of the Univac plant began in 1967 and Blue Cross - Blue Shield began operation in Eagan in 1970. The first large com- mercial center for the City was the Cedarvale Shopping Center which opened in 1965. With the growing need for services during the 1960's Eagan offi- cials authorized the hiring of City employees in such areas as police protection and public works. The size of the City's staff has now increased to over sixty full and part time employees whose activities are directed by the City Administrator which the City Council hired in 1976. The township days ended in 1972 when in September of that year authorization was given for Eagan to incorporate as a village. A year later, after the legislature had passed a law which affected com- munities throughout the state, Eagan officially became a City as of January 1, 1974. As a City, Eagan now has a five member City Council. The Mayor is elected for a two year term and the four Council Members each serve four year terms. The duties of the Clerk and Treasurer have been combined, and this is now an appointed position. City elections are held in November of odd -numbered years. The history of an area determines to a great extent the image which a community projects. As the city grows, it is likely that the people and events of its past will continue to influence the character of Eagan for many years to come.

Voters wishing to make a permanent registration, must, according to Clerk Alyce Bolke, vote once every four consecutive years, notify in writing a change of residence, re -register if the name is changed by marriage or divorce. On Thursday night, a Tribune photographer snapped the registra- tion in progress. From left are representatives of the families of Glen Hindal, Maurice Widell, and Charles Govern, with the Charles Halls also present in the building. AGE 87, but spry enough to be interested in government, was Daniel Weaver, who resides on Pilot Knob road and Deerwood drive. Ile was born in Mills county, Iowa, and has resided in the township of Eagan about 25 years. He lives with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Bryant. The registering clerks for the night were, seated next to Mr. Weaver, Mrs. Bolke, town clerk; to her right, Mrs. Julia Slater, and standing Mrs. Ruth Smith. There are an estimated 2,000 voters in the township. CLERK SHUDDERS AT PROSPECT HerJob Is Counting Amputated Paws From Dead Gophers Mrs. Alyce Bolke, Eagan clerk, views with a certain amount of feminine distaste —but dedication to duty —a new task wished upon her by township super- visors. From now on, it will be Mrs. Bolke's job to count front paws amputated Mrs. Bolke from dead goph- ers and brought in for bounty payments. The township pays 20 cents a pair. shelling out about $150 a year in bounty money. The town board this week set up a petty cash fund, not to ex- ceed $100, to facilitate pay- ments. Mrs. Bolke shudders at the thought of counting gopher feet. She also confesses to a lack of expertise, but figures it won't be long before she will be able to recognize a gopher paw from —preferably —10 feet away. Paw -counting formerly fell to Supervisor Arthur Rahn, who did the chore at his home. But Mrs. Bolke recently established regular office hours in the town hall —a con- venient place to take gopher feet. Hours at the hall, 3795 Pilot Knob rd., are from 9:30 a. m. to 4 p. m. Monday through Friday. And, warns Mrs. Bolke, no one better dare show up at HER home with paws to count. Besides setting up the petty - cash fund, the town board Tuesday night also: REFERRED to its engineer, Robert Rosen e, a petition from Dakota County Realty Co. forever. water and storm sewer extensions to its planned 2-million-dollar Val- ley View Village apartment project southwest of Rahn road and Beau d'Rue drive.

An audience of nearly 100 interested residents was on hand to witness the official swearing -in ceremony. AS A PRELUDE to the council organization, Mrs. Alyce Bolke, former town- ship clerk and newly -ap- pointed village clerk -trea- surer, administered the oath of office to Mayor Herbert Polzin. The newly -elected coun- cilmen — Arthur Rahn, Ted Wachter, Jim Smith and William Rydrych — then took the oath of office. ACTING ON the sugges- tion of the West Dakota County League of Women Voters, the new council agreed to publish a tenta- tive agenda of each forth- coming meeting. Arthur Rahn, former town board chairman, was named acting mayor, to serve in the absence of Mayor Polzin. THE Valley National Bank was named official depository for the new vil- lage and the Dakota County Tribune was named official newspaper. Designated official post- ing places for the village were the village hall, Loan Oak Tree, and Applebaum's Supermarket in Cedarvale. THE COUNCIL agreed to conduct regular meetings on the first and third Tues- day of each month, with special meetings also desig- nated for Tuesday, if at all possible. Mrs. Bolke was appoint- ed clerk -treasurer for the new village and her bond set at $50,000. IN RELATED action, the council adopted a resolu- tion authorizing Mrs. Bolke to invest village funds.

Eagan township was or- ganized in 1860, and was named after the first chairman, Patrick Eagan. Meetings were held in the homes of the board mem- bers or in Old Quigley school near North - view. The first Eagan hall was built in 1893 on the Shields property on County 26 and 31. The old village hall burned and was replaced by the old Eagan hall in 1914 being used until March 1965 when a new building was erected at a cost of $28,000. Eagan's present popula- tion is 10,000; by 1986 it will be 62,000 and in the year 2,000, it will reach 112,300.

Doing the serving at right is Linda Noyes, representing Mrs. Jaycees. The project for hosting the occasion was in charge of Phyllis Martinson. Eagan township was or- ganized in 1860, and was named after the first chairman, Patrick Eagan. Meetings were held in the homes of the board mem- bers or in Old Quigley school near North - view. The first Eagan hall was built in 1893 on the Shields property on County 26 and 31. The old village hall burned and was replaced by the old Eagan hall in 1914 being used until March 1965 when a new building was erected at o cost of $28,000. Eagan's present popula- tion is 10,000; by 1986 it will be 62,000 and in the year 2,000, it will reach 112,300. Vol. 6, No. 2 NMINNE� I J SERVING APPI /—G -74 Copyright 1978, Sun Newspapers, Inc.

Two of the six tliid•gride.classes at Northview Elementary School, 965 Co. Rd. 30, participated in the outdoor ac- tivity recently. It was the children's first time out on the snowshoes which were purchased by the Northview Parents and Teachers (NPT ) or- ganization a few years ago. The organization also developed a nature center on five of the school's 40 acres. It includes paths with woodchips, natural trails, railroad tie steps, bird houses, a firepit and an am- phitheater where the children can sit for outdoor classes. Two of the third grade teachers, Neil Okeson and Marilyn Grandstrand, have been instrumental in developing a unit on winter activities. "The ac- tivities allow students to de- monstrate different levels of thinking while developing an awareness and respect for the Minnesota climate," Okeson said. All activities start with a simple base in the classroom and proceed to the nature center. This unit. teaches the children how different materials insulate, Thorn, Carrie Tournham, Joel.

In fact, some drivers probably don't even give it a second glance. But if anyone had any ideas about re- moving the tree, they probably wouldn't get too far, at least not without a fight from area resi- dents. The tree is the namesake of nearby Trinity Lone Oak School, Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church and Co. Rd. 26, more in the area. When students at the nearby school found out, they quickly made signs, banners and formed a protest group. Then they marched down the busy 'in- tersection and formed a ring around the tree. Eagan police, highway patrol and other officials soon arrived on the scene, along with more students and area residents. Legislators and highway de- partment officials heard about the situation, and the tree was spared. The highway department said it was not aware that this wasn't just another tree, or that it was a community landmark. They probaoly didn't know that the tree has been used as one of the City of Eagan's official post- ing places for more than 80 years, or that the tree was once a site for area farmers to leave their milk cans for pick-up to be .taken to the creameries. But they saved it anyway. Two years later, in October 1976, the tree was officially designated a Minnesota Heritage Tree. The City of Eagan adopted the tree as a logo for city stationery. The words read "Lone Oak Tree...a symbol of strength and growth in our community."

"We didn't even have a fire department then. Now we have two stations and will have a bond referendum May 1 for a third station," she said. The city building program has also expanded. "We (the staff) still are crowded but all have good relationships. It's unique that we don't have a great turnover with staff," the clerk commented. Having worked with men for several years, Mrs. Bolke said she has always been treated fairly and always been respected. She added she has never felt discriminated against. "I've become friends with the people I've worked with," she smiled. Sometimes there can be a lot of tension with the details of the job and with the deadlines, but meet- ing the public far outweighs any negatives of the duties, Mrs. Bolke said. "I enjoy people and it is exciting to see the growth and development, both residential and industrial. I like the variety of the job and am never bored," she remarked. Another positive aspect of the city, she added, is "that even with the growth, we aren't crowded." With all the industry in Eagan, there is a low un- employment rate and "we have a lot of teenagers who work here." The community is spread out but the churches seem to bring people together, the clerk said. During her active years as clerk, Mrs. Bolke also managed being a homemaker. She is the mother of Judith Mundahl, Eagan; Gloria Wachtler, Prescott, WI; Kathleen Sauer, Albuquerque, NM; John, Eagan; and Cheryl, Eureka, CA. She also has 11 grandchildren. One common thread that strikes Mrs. Bolke about Eagan, and that she thinks residents are aware of, is that there is a "great feeling of well-being." She would know, she helped create it.

EAGAN CHRON/CLE City Clerk Alyce olke rehires by Linda Hanson City Clerk Alyce Bolke will retire Dec. 31 after 21 years of working t'or the city. Bolke and her husband, Ted, and their children moved to Eagan from St. Paul in 1948. "1 liked it in the city," she said. "He had to drag me out here." But it didn't take long for Bolke to Vol. 1, No. 13 December 29, 1980 BOLKE: to p. 2 Alyce Bolke Bolke retires after 21 years of city service BOLKE: from p. 1 become attached to Eagan. • "Eagan has some of the most beautiful land in the state.• The kids had the whole countryside to play in. It was very rural then. We even had to grade our own road," she said. The population of Eagan when she moved here was 1100, she added. Eagan's population is now more • than 20,000. The rapid growth has been one of the most exciting things about living and working in Eagan, Bolke said. "It had started to grow in 1959 when they first appointed me," she said. "Since then the population has almost doubled every ten years. In 1960 the population was 3300. We had a special census in 1965 and the population was 6700. It had doubled in five years." Bolke said that she gives a lot of credit to the old town board for star- ting a planning commission about the same time she started working for the city. She credits them for Eagan's orderly growth. But what Bolke has enjoyed the most in her job has been meeting the public. "When I started the job, my phone at home would .ring off the hook," Bolke said. "I didn't really mind, [hough. If 1 could help someone then it was worth it." She said she didn't even mind handl- ing one of every city employee's in- evitable tasks: handling complaints from the public. "People have to have someplace to go when they have a complaint," she said. "I think city hall should be that place." After her retirement, Bolke said she plans. on "having some fun." This in- cludes going on trips to a lake home in Ely, and also visiting with her 12 grandchildren. It will also involve trips with her hus- band to see their children who have set- tled in other parts of the country. One daughter, Gloria Wachtler, lives in Prescott, Wis. Another, Kathleen Sauer, lives in Albuquerque, New Mex- ico; and another, Cheryl Meissner, lives in Arcata, Cal.

The job provides a variety of duties and she never gets bored. By YVONNE MACKO Staff Writer EAGAN--"What don't I do?" replied Alyce Bolke, Eagan city clerk, when asked what she did in her job. Mrs. Bolke, a resident of 1365 Deerwood Drive since 1948, is the official keeper of records, is in charge of all elections, notices of council agendas and public hear- ings, is responsible for minutes from meetings, pays the bills, keeps city maps, financial re- cords, ordinances and resolu- tions. She also invests $7-8 million of surplus funds such as debt service funds from the city's ap- portionment from the county. "By investing the money in 14 savings and loans, banks and I U.S. Treasury notes last year, I made $450,000 interest for the city," she proudly remarked. Mrs. Bolke has been a familiar face in city government since she was appointed town clerk in 1961. • Previously, she had been secretary to Louis Fisher, town ' clerk. He resigned when the town started growing so rapidly and he was no longer interested," the ci- - ty clerk said. "My appointment was sort of a put -up -job," she laughed. "He had me already trained for it." Since 1962, Mrs. Bolke has had to run for office every two years. When the town was incorporated as a villave in 1972, she was ap- board. "We didn't even have a fire department then. Now we have two stations and will have a bond referendum May 1 for a third station," she said. The city building program has also expanded. "We (the staff) still are crowded but all have good relationships. It's unique that we don't have a great turnover with staff." the clerk commented. Having worked with men for several years, Mrs. Bolke said she has always been treated fairly and always been respected. She added she, has never felt discriminated against. "I've become friends with the people I've worked with," she smiled. Sometimes there can be a lot of ension with the details of the job and with the deadlines, but meet- ing the public far outweighs any negatives of the duties, Mrs. Bolke said. "I enjoy people and it is exciting to see the growth and development, both residential and industrial. I like the variety of the job and am never bored," she remarked. Another positive aspect of the city. she added, is "that even with the growth, we aren't crowded." With all the industry in Eagan, there is a low un- employment rate and "we have a lot of teenagers who work here." The community is spread out but the churches seem to bring people together, the clerk said. During her active years as clerk, Mrs. Bolke also managed being a homemaker. She is the mother of Judith Mundahl, Eagan; Gloria Wachtler, Prescott, WI; Kathleen Sauer, Albuquerque, NM; John, Eagan; and Cheryl, Eureka, CA. She also has 11 grandchildren. One common thread that strikes Mrs. Bolke about Eagan, and that she thinks residents are aware of, is that there is a "great feeling of well-being." She would know, she helped create it. 1 EAGAN HRONICLE Vol. 1, No. 13 December 29, 1980 v irk ce ke res e Bolke will retire ,ars of working for iusband, Ted, and 1 to Eagan from St. <ed it in the city," I to drag me out long for Bolke to BOLKE: to p. 2 Alyce Bolke h bo r firefightersgsave children ;ht was filled with green Apartments, e building, Steve 'fighters entered a to rescue three were alone in an the door of the id took to safety Maynard Kiang followed the screams to locate one -year -old Adam in the bedroom.

A resident of the area, Bob Swen- son, said he thought it was premature to zone the land limited business because he said area residents were told the company won't need the site for ex- pansion until at least 2000. Storbakken disagreed and said the site would probably be needed before then. APC member Doris Wilkins said, "I can understand your wanting to preserve acreage for future expansion. But why do you want a PD for residen- tial if you're not going to develop it now? I can't understand why you're in such a hurry." Voting to oppose the rezoning were Dale Turnham, Wilkins, Joseph Har- rison, Krob, and Thomas Gits. Voting not to oppose was David Bohne. After the vote, Harrison told Stor- bakken that he probably wouldn't have a problem with the city council Jan. 20 if he didn't bring up the hypothetical situation of selling the land to a developer.

Bolke said that she gives a lot of credit to the old town board for star- ting a planning commission about the same time she started working for the city. She credits them for Eagan's orderly growth. But what Bolke has enjoyed the most in her job has been meeting the public. "When I started the job, my phone at home would ring off the hook," Bolke said. "I didn't really mind, though. If I could help someone then it was worth it." She said she didn't even mind handl- ing one of every city employee's in- evitable tasks: handling complaints from the public. "People have to have someplace to go when they have a complaint," she said. "1 think city hall should be that place." After her retirement, Bolke said she plans. on "having some fun." This in- cludes going on trips to a lake home in Ely, and also visiting with her 12 grandchildren.

Footprints gave away burglary An alert police officer foiled a burglary Dec. 22 at the Mediterranean Cruise restaurant across from the Cedarvale Shopping Center. While on patrol, at about 4 a.m. an officer noticed footprints in new snow leading up to, but not away from the restaurant. When he had been to the restaurant earlier in the night, there had been no footprints. The officer heard a noise inside the restaurant and put in a call for other officers to assist. When the other patrol cars arrived, police surrounded the restaurant. The manager of the restaurant had also been called and ar- rived with the key to the restaurant. An officer unlocked a door and sent in a police dog, who quickly flushed out the burglary suspect, who was ap- prehended with the restaurant's receipts. Charged with b Michael Dean Moorhead.
