1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS - 1986 to 1987 <br />As Mayor of the City, I have made it a practice to inform <br />the residents of Lino Lakes of current conditions and anticipated <br />activities and trends for our City in 1987. <br />In this year's State of the City Address, I will briefly <br />review the following areas of interest: <br />1. Economic development and Community Growth. <br />2. Police, Fire and Ambulance Service <br />3. Municipal Finances and Strategic Planning <br />4. Public works, improvement projects and parks <br />COMMUNITY GROWTH <br />1986 has proven to be our best construction year since 1979. <br />We anticipate the housing market to remain strong in 1987 due to <br />the stabilized interest rates. The City's valuation increased <br />over $3 million in 1986. A total of 277 building permits were <br />issued, of which 147 were single- family houses. <br />With the development pressures the City had been experiencing, <br />the Council felt it necessary to conduct a Strategic Planning <br />Session to encompass all issues affected by these development <br />pressures. <br />These areas included updating of the City's Comprehensive <br />Plan. This project was spearheaded by a City Council appointed <br />Task Force working closely with the consulting planner and <br />planning commission. Final approval of this Plan is expected <br />in April. <br />013 <br />
