AGENDA ITEM is January 21, 1993 Mr. Richard Carlson Carlson, Drops & Associates 7671 Old Central Avenue Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Dear Rick, This is a follow up letter to the letter that I sent to you on August 25, 1992 ; and the letter that you sent to the City of Lino Lakes on December 22 , 1992 .
