1 1 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1988 prepare a generic draft ordinance for the Council to consider and change to what they feel would be appropriate for Lino Lakes. Mr. Hawkins told the Council that they should decide first whether they feel such an ordinance is appropriate for this City. If the Council feels it is appropriate, does the Council feel the standards suggested in this ordinance are appropriate or should they be adjusted. Another consideration should be whether or not there should be interest on the deferred assessments. He noted that some communites do not charge interest. Mr. Bisel felt the object of such an ordinance would be to not force older people out of their homes. Mayor Benson said that he has a problem with Subdivision I, Sections C and D. He asked if these figures are reasonable. Mr. Hawkins noted that the average value of a home in Lino Lakes is $84,000 and said that the figure used in the proposed ordinance may be low. After discussing items C and D further, Mr. Bisel moved to table this item until the July 25, 1988 Council meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motin carried unanimously. The staff was requested to research figures for items C and D further.
