Mr. McClellan <br />said they could be. Council Member Neal said that he is <br />often asked why the-school district sold Lovell School when <br />it could have been renovated and still be in use.

He said he felt it was a good decision. <br />Mr. McClellan referred to the site of the proposed new <br />elementary school on Birch Street. He noted the site <br />contains sixty (60) acres and hoped that the site would be <br />developed in cooperation with the City of Lino Lakes.
