COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 24, 1990 felt this policy was selective. He asked if there was a motion to allow this developer to use his own engineer. Mr. Miller said he tried to tell Mr. Huber that the engineer issue could go either way. Mr. Huber said that he felt the City was "picking" on him and objected vehemently. He said that he wanted to see that the Council voted to allow the other developers to use their own engineers. Mayor Bisel thanked Mr. Huber for his opinion and noted that the Council must take action in the best interest of Lino Lakes. Mr. Huber said that he was told he could use his own engineers and did everything else the City wanted. Council Member Reinert said that the rules have not been changed. Mr. Huber said that he would let his eighteen (18) lots sit rather than have SEH perform the engineering work. Council Member Kuether moved to table the matter of engineering until the next Council meeting to allow time to research minutes, minds and discussion of three (3) projects where private engineers were used. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Reinert noted that the City policy on this matter may need to be strengthened so that there will be as few mistakes as possible.
