City Growth Rate — Commissioner Trehus stated that a city survey shows that citizens <br />137 are most concerned about the increasing growth rate in Lino Lakes.

He stated that the <br />140 City Council is working on a comprehensive plan to cover their tracks slated for the end of the <br />141 year. He suggested the Charter Commission put a question on the ballot regarding Council's <br />142 ability to change the growth rate rules without voter's approval.
