<br /> <br /> <br />March 31, 2014 <br /> <br />Mayor Jeff Reinert <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br /> <br />Mayor Reinert: <br /> <br />During the special meeting held by the Charter Commission on March 24, 2014 a motion was <br />presented and passed requesting funds for an external resource, Attorney Karen Marty, to aid <br />in reviewing the proposed ordinances. This request is to specifically provide the Commission <br />with this resource to act as a consultant for the two Ordinances (03-14 and 04-14) proposed by <br />the City Council with a specified time frame. We fully understand and appreciate that our <br />current 2014 budget of $1,500 is set aside for the Charter Commission specifically to frame and <br />amend. <br /> <br />The attached estimate of work clearly outlines that Attorney Marty will be researching and <br />reviewing the ordinances, and will be in attendance for no more than two hours at our regularly <br />scheduled meeting on April 10. There is also a specification that the actual invoice cannot <br />exceed this estimate. <br /> <br />We have negotiated a discounted rate with Attorney Marty as we are acutely aware of the <br />fiscal responsibility we have as tax payers in our community. <br /> <br />Due to the timing of our meeting, please let me know how the Charter Commission can <br />proceed in regard to this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Connie Sutherland <br />Chair, Lino Lakes Charter Commission <br /> <br />Enclosure: Estimate <br />CC: Julie Bartell, City Clerk <br /> Kathryn Timm, Lino Lakes Charter Commission Vice Chair <br /> Caroline Dahl, Lino Lakes Charter Commission Secretary
