1 1 1 171 February 13, 1984 The 1984/1985 Council began officially on January 9, 1984. Myself and Councilman Don Marier were re- elected along with newly elected Council- man Bill Bohjanen. I fully anticipate this Council will work hard to continue the good work of the last Council. Every Council member is responsible for additional liaison appointments. Also, ever Council member will be spending extra hours in meetings. I thank your for your dedication. The City Staff again worked well with the City Council and Residents. Many time throughout the past year, this Council received letters and phone calls expressing appreciation and thanks for the help they received form the City employees. I extend my thanks and those of the Council for your help and support. Lino Lakes is also fortunate to have experienced consultants who keep the needs of the City in mind at all times. The funds allocated in this area have been extremely productive. The working communications of the Council, Employees, Consultants, Developers, Residents, and people seek- ing service from Lino Lakes has improved significantly. In 1984, the City will again make a special effort in this area. In 1983, Lino Lakes was again fortunate to have many residents participate on committees, commissions, task forces, and boards. The Park Board, Planning and Zoning Board, Charter Commission, Cable Representatives, Fire Task Force, Economic Development Committee, Zonig Task. Force, Civil Defense, and all groups made large contributions to the City of Lino Lakes. Again let me remind all that without their efforts, Lino Lakes would not progress. In fact, the City would erode. The city is indeed fortunate to have individuals who are willing to serve. I thank all of you for your help. The City and residents appreciate your time efforts. In 1984, the City will again ask you and others to accept the challenge and participation in their City progress. In 1983, Lino Lakes accomplished a great deal through everone's efforts.
