464-5562 Ciig Da Luba 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 RESOLUTION TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes duly convened in a special meeting on May 1,1975, that the follow- ing Resolution be read into the Legislative Record in conjunction with the proposed Land Use Bill as proposed by the Metropolitan Council. "We have read the Land Use Planning Bill and feel that if the bill is passed in its present state it will create a 'super governement' known as the Metropolitan Council. Enclosed are copies of two letters, one from Mr. John Boland, Metropolitan Council Chairman,and a second from Mr. Eugene Franchett Metropolitan Council Staff. The activities of the. Lino Lakes Council referred to in these letters were taken as a last resort and only after years of waiting for the promises to materialize in the area of sewers for this City. These letters point up the fact that if there is a disagreement between the Metropolitan Council and a local community, the local community is forced to defend its position through actions of this type. The Lino Lakes Council feels that the delays created by the Metropolitan Council studies and negotiations have resulted in halting development in the City to the deteriment of the local taxpayers. Negotiations between this City and the Metropolitan Council have netted nothing over the past four years. At the present time the status of problems within the City remains exactly the same as four years ago - we are still negotiating. We are not interested in the type of governmental coordinantion and help that the City of Lino Lakes has been provided with by the Metropolitan Council and look forward to legislative help in correcting this realtionship. We urge that you retain the Metropolitan Council as a planning agency only - without the controls expressed in the current legislative efforts."
