City Council Minutes <br />July 26, 1995 2~~ <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />1 <br />J <br />CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmember Jacobs said that he would like to comment on the community forum <br />earlier in the evening. He said that he didn't understand why Mr. Long reappeared <br />before the council asking for property tax relief for Mr. Wellington's property when the <br />council already clearly decided that it was not interested in amending the assessment <br />agreement on the property. Jacobs stated that he feared that Mr. Long may have <br />misunderstood the message from what was said earlier in the evening. Mayor Baldwin <br />explained that, like any property owner, Mr. Wellington has the right to approach the <br />staff with a variety of different, creative ideas and communicate them. Mayor Baldwin <br />and Councilmembers Hustad and Gehrz reiterated the importance of the council's <br />previous decision on this matter and the staff's authority to reject any proposal that <br />involved the amending of the assessment agreement without a dollar for dollar <br />replacement of funds. Councilmember Jacobs thanked the council for allowing him <br />to express his opinion. He asked that the record state that the motion he made on the <br />original request still stands. <br />Councilmember Hustad reported that he had participated in a police ride-along and had <br />found the experience very enlightening. <br />Administrator Hoyt informed the council that the consensus among Grove <br />homeowners was that there should be seven lights installed along the east side of <br />Folwell Avenue. She also updated the council on the following items: the upcoming <br />Ice Cream Social, Northome alley reconstruction and sealcoating, and a planned police <br />open house in the fall. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:59 p.m. <br />Carla Asleson <br />Recording Secretary <br />~~ <br />Tom Baldwin, Mayor <br />
