174 February 13, 1984 17. Establish a periodic meeting schedule with the Council and our committees /commissions /boards to improve communications. 18. Continue to inform the citizens through newspaper coverage and possibly a newsletter. 19. Make every attempt to be responsive to the public, welcoming input and advise. 20. Started the process of developing a watershed management plan. I also realize that throughout 1984, many additional goals, objectives, and projects will surface. The City is responsive and will attempt to have the best information possible, thus allowing the City Council to make timely and responsible decisions in 1984. In closing, 1984 will be a productive year for Lino Lakes, Again this year, there is a large number of inquiries into building permits. The horse racing facility adjacent to Lino Lakes has an excellent chance of receiving approval. If approved, Lino Lakes will be impacted through increased jobs, business, and building. The City's firm stand on spend- ing will continue through 1984, yet a great deal of progress is planned. During our budget meetings. the City Council allowed for the Legislative shift of State Aid to Cities, protecting future budget decisions. This leads to a small property tax increase in 1984. Economic Development is a priority of this City and necessary to maintain services. Lino's established attitude on shared services is evident in other Cities and the County. Today the sharing of services is a necessity as well as reality. Lino Lakes will continue to ask for voluntary help from grou within the City. We wil listen to those who wish to speak and be res- ponsive when necessary. We will continue to seek the best information in making decisions. This will help produce sound and productive dec- isions reducing the chance of mistakes as we make tomorrow's decisions today. We will extend out hand of friendship to those who enter out City. We will use our talent and experience to help increase thequality of life in Lino Lakes. This City Council and Staff is looked upon as leaders of the City. The cost of our leadership is small, yet the impact is great. The City Council and Staff must accept that responsibility and be the leaders, not only of the City, but this Country.
