Lino Lakes Charter Commission <br />Chair Christopher Lyden <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />June 24, 2012 <br />Dear Mayor and Council, <br />The scope of the remaining 2012 Charter's budget with the approximate balance of the Charter's <br />budget $1200.00 to be used as follows: <br />1. $300.00 or more for questions on Council proposed ballot language for Charter's two <br />amendments on the ballot this fall. <br />2. The remaining dollars to be used for questions relating to framing and amending the <br />Charter Commission amendments. <br />In view of the short time still allotted and based on the previous years 2007 and 2008 costs for <br />reviewing Council proposed amendments the Commission is requesting the Council for the <br />amount of $7,000 which includes the initial amount of $1400. If the Charter Commission does <br />not use the full amount the remainder goes back into the general fund. <br />It is imperative the Charter Commission receives the initial payment of $1400 (for 8 hours of <br />work) to start the review of the Council's proposed Charter amendment. <br />The failure to provide the Charter Commission the initial $1400 with the additional amount of <br />$5600 for the legal review of the City Council's proposed Charter amendment will be considered <br />a serious obstruction of the Charter Commission's ability to perform its duty in a timely manner <br />as set forth in the state statute. <br />Sincerely, <br />Christopher Lyden <br />Chair Lino Lakes Charter Commission <br />
