Mrs. Voigt asked if carrying a conoe through and launching would be allowed? or would they just be allowed to walk across,)to have access to the lake? 81 Mr. Reinert said, if the motion passes, then this will be retained and used for drainage purposes. Mr. Voigt asked about the minutes and was told there is nothing in the minutes to indicate this Outlot was to be used by the residents as a Lake access. Mr. Reinert pointed out that if this becomes, <a public access for a boat launch, this does not preclude the use of this land by any person from any place. He pointed out the possibility of parties, litter, etc. that could turn this area into something no one would want. Motion carried unanimously.

JOE QUINN Mr. Quinn was introduced to the Council and he suggested going through a question and answer session in order to cover the areas of interest to this Council. Mayor Benson suggested a general statement of what he felt the legislature had accomplished for small cities - some of the things that were positive and some of the things that were negative. Mr. Quinn noted that the economic status of the State was the most improtant thing - nothing that Lino Lakes had received only a portion of the State Aid and in the process of trying to solve this problems of economics, the small cities got hurt. There was also discussion on the proposed race track, the odds that it could be located in the North area, number of members on the Commission, etc. Mr. Reinert asked about the shift in the controls being shifted downward to the State and then to the local governments - he flet this has not happened at the State level - will the legislature comply with this practice more so in the future than they have done in the past? Mr. Quinn pointed out the economic status of the State and the deficit they are facing and this must be solved before any other problems are considered. Mayor Benson asked if there was any specific legislation the City should be aware of and Mr. Quinn reminded them of the Jobs Bill and suggested this be used.
