DRAFT <br />10/9/00 <br />Elizabeth Kautz, Chair <br />Livable Communities Advisory Committee <br />Metropolitan Council <br />230 East Fifth St. <br />St. Paul, MN 55101 <br />Dear Ms. Kautz <br />The Lino Lakes City Council has been working through a series of issues regarding The <br />Village development in the Lino Lakes Town Center. The council wishes to clarify its <br />position regarding the use of funding. <br />If the city is fortunate enough to be awarded a Demonstration Account grant, the city <br />council intends to use the funding to facilitate site control so that the next stage of <br />development can move forward. Over the next few months city staff will be working with <br />the landowners, developers and city council to determine the best options for <br />accomplishing the desired outcome. <br />The City of Lino Lakes has made significant financial commitments to The Village <br />development. Any future agreements between the city, the landowners and developers <br />will have to minimize any further risk to the city. <br />On behalf of the city council, I appreciate the opportunity the committee has given to the <br />City of Lino Lakes in the past. I look forward to the day when the city's plan for a <br />traditional neighborhood town center is a reality. <br />Sincerely, <br />John Bergeson, Mayor <br />• <br />
