CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 7, 2011 DRAFT 136 The mayor noted concern about lack of information — no background on investors, no 137 escrow, and no noise study. It seems like the proposal is moving in the wrong direction. 138 139 There was discussion about the informational meetings that have been held on the 140 proposal and staff assured the council that the discussions have not been in the direction 141 of pitting cities against one another but rather the opposite of gaining information in the 142 same direction. Lino Lakes' staff will be meeting with the City of Columbus staff to 143 share information and discuss requirements; the council suggests that a discussion may be 144 forthcoming about how much time should be spent on the proposal. 145 146 10. Local Board of Appeal and Equalization — City Clerk Bartell noted that the city 147 council holds a Board of Appeal meeting each year; it is an opportunity for taxpayers to 148 address the council regarding their valuations.

She noted that the county assessor will 150 be present at that meeting to respond to questions about valuations. 151 152 11.
