1 1 COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 26, 1990 Lakes pays. Mr. Miller noted that the tax rate is supposed to be based upon the amount of service received. He also noted that some cities have opted for lesser services and lesser tax rates. He noted that the City of Plymouth pays a lower rate than Lino Lakes does. Mr. Miller has written to the Transit Board and asked what benefit Lino Lakes is receiving for the $100,000.00 per year that Lino Lakes is being taxed. To date this information has not been received. Mr. Miller said he has reviewed the transit service in Lino Lakes. Presently there are two (2) routes. One route serves the prison and the second route serves the northern area. There does not appear to much ridership. There was discussion regarding who uses the services. It was noted that persons visiting the prison and persons working at the prison appear to use the service the most. The question was raised as to why Lino Lakes should pay for that service. Mr. Miller and Mr. Boxrud will attend a meeting on December 11, 1990 from 7:30 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. sponsored by the Transit Board. They were asked to determine who uses the transit services in Lino Lakes and what can be done about reducing the rate of property taxes for the City. Mayor Bisel also asked the staff to check the transit service for the Stillwater Prison to determine what the transit relationship is for that facility. Mr. Miller noted that there are other northern suburbs asking these same questions. Mayor Bisel complimented the Staff for pointing out this apparent inequity.
