1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1988 <br />is obvious that at some point we have to look to other <br />sources of revenue. There are good opportunities in Lino <br />Lakes. There has to be some commercial and industrial <br />development in Lino Lakes. He said he was not sitting there <br />to annoy the residents but to look at alternatives. The <br />Council has to be cost effective and spend a lot of time <br />looking at the ramifications of their actions. He hoped the <br />citizens would seethe project from the Council's point of <br />view in terms of the future of the City. If only homes are <br />built in Lino Lakes, this will greatly impact the school <br />system and we all know what this does to property taxes. <br />This Council must look to business as another source of <br />revenue. <br />Mr. Glenn Rehbein commended the Council for their initative <br />and for having the backbone to get something done.

Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />Mayor Benson explained that the sixty day waiting period <br />begins today and the Council will continue to gather <br />information and consider all of the points brought out <br />tonight by the citizens. This matter will be on the <br />November 28, 1988 Council agenda. He also noted that the <br />Planner and Engineer may also hold additional small group <br />meetings. <br />Mrs. Westling suggested that since this City does not have a <br />policy regarding monitoring ground water a policy be <br />established to measure ground water quality.
