Lino Lakes Issues One issue guided by the Lino Lakes Home Rule Charter and the Five Year Plan is the referendum for road improvements. As stated in the City Charter, if general fund dollars are to be used the citizens have the right to vote. Due to the loss of Local Government Aid and Market Value Credit the pro- posed City budget is 3.38% lower than 2003's. Even with increases in home values, many taxpayers will see a reduction in the City portion of their property taxes paid. We should follow the direction of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, Growth Management Plan and Zoning Ordinance to plan growth, to protect the natural environment, to make needed infrastructure improvements at the time of development and to negotiate payment from the benefitting properties. Senior housing and assisted living are growing needs. The Village area is an ideal spot because of the proximity to two healthcare clinics, the proposed YMCA, and retail establishments. For the Lino Lakes Police Department to merge with the Centennial Lakes Police Department our City must maintain our high level of service and low crime rate, the financial facts should be accurate and support sufficient cost savings, and governance be based on population and /or contribution.
