CLOSED COUNCIL MEETING CITY OF LINO LAKES COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 27, 1993 Staff members present: City Administrator, Randy Schumacher; City Attorney, Bill Hawkins and Clerk -Treasurer Marilyn Anderson. Mr. Jim Golembeck, an attorney with Jardine, Logan and O'Brien was also present. The purpose of the closed meeting was to discuss the counter suit brought by the Reshanau Park Estates Homeowner's Association (RPEHA) against the City regarding the proposed boat launch. Mr. Hawkins introduced Mr. Golembeck and explained that he has been assigned by the Minnesota League of Cities Trust Insurance to represent the City in the action brought by the RPEHA. Mr. Golembeck explained that there has been some legal activity on the matter and a court hearing is scheduled for October. Mr. Hawkins asked the City Council for their opinion regarding whether or not there was. any possibility of a resolution of the matter by entering into a compromise. He noted that a compromise would probably involve allowing the RPEHA the use of the boat launch in some capacity, possibly one (1) or two (2) boats at a time similar to what would be normal usage for any other residential lot on a lake. The language in the compromise statement would explicitly outline that only RPEHA members could use the launch. Since it is the RPEHA's intent to use the outlots for a private park, a volley ball court, horseshoe pits and other small recreational activities would also be allowed. The compromise would restrict the use of the outlots and boat launch by recording a covenant on the property. Council Member Bergeson asked if the City Council cannot agree on a compromise, what will happen? Mr. Golembeck explained a hearing has been set for October 21, 1993 for a summary judgement hearing. He has demanded documents regarding the RPEHA claims PAGE 1
