1 <br /> (Sent via e-mail-July 18, 2008) <br /> July 18, 2008 <br /> Dear Honorable Mayor Bergeson: <br /> The Lino Lakes Charter Commission has received and reviewed the 2008 <br /> Council's Task Force Amendment proposal. In response, on July 17, 2008, the <br /> Commission voted to reject this proposal. In addition, the Commission voted to <br /> recommend that the city council repeal Section 8.07 of Chapter 8 of the existing City <br /> Charter by ordinance pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes 410.12 Subd. 7. <br /> The Charter Commission recommends the repeal of Section 8.07 of the existing <br /> Charter because it agrees with the current city council that having special provisions <br /> for certain segments of the city are not in the city's best interests. The Commission <br /> feels that it is best that the entire city abide by the same set of rules. <br /> The Commission finds in the proposed Council Task Force amendment that the <br /> neighborhood process to decide potential improvements is confusing, conflicting, <br /> and unworkable. Also, the Commission wants to keep residents' rights to <br /> referendum on street reconstruction projects. After careful review and deliberation, <br /> the Charter Commission has determined that the revised Council Task Force <br /> amendment does not adequately meet the needs of the citizens of Lino Lakes. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Cori Duffy <br /> Chair, Lino Lakes Charter Commission <br /> cc: Julie Bartell, City Clerk <br />
