CITY COUNCIL CLOSED SESSION <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />COUNCIL MINUTES <br />MARCH 8, 1993 <br />Staff members present: City Attorney, Bill Hawkins; City <br />Engineer, Darrell Schneider and Clerk -Treasurer, Marilyn <br />Anderson. <br />The purpose of the meeting was to update the City Council <br />regarding several pending matters of litigation. <br />BRAD RACUTT <br />Mr. Hawkins briefly outlined the reason the legal action was <br />started against Mr. Racutt. Recently Mr. Racutt visited the City <br />offices and demanded entry to the City Engineer's office and also <br />demanded copies of certain documents. Mr. Racutt was told that <br />he was to request information through his attorney. Mr. Racutts <br />attorney, Mr. Fritz Knaak then filed an action against the City <br />contending that Mr. Racutts civil rights were violated and asked <br />the court to compel the City to vacate an easement on the Racutt <br />property. The legal action is also requesting a dollar amount in <br />excess of $50,000.00. This action will be handled by the Citys <br />insurance company. The City must respond and file a brief. In <br />the interim, the City is continuing with the original action <br />against Mr. Racutt to get the septic system repaired and to <br />correct the excess dirt fill problem. <br />Mr. Racutt called the Building Inspector last week to say that he <br />wanted to bring in the new septic tank and put it in the back <br />yard before road restrictions are posted. The Building Inspector <br />referred the matter to Mr. Hawkins. Since the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District (RCWD) is now involved in the matter of the <br />drainage easement, this must be resolved before Mr. Racutt can <br />bring anything further onto his property. <br />PAGE 1 <br />
