Mr. Andre asked the Council to hold spending to current level for a year or so until state and federal concerns have been determined. He asked the Council to be conservative. Mr. Andre also explained people trying to find his address have a problem because Ash Street is known as County Road J on the south side of the street. He asked that Lino Lakes rename Ash Street to County Road J so that residents on both sides of the street can use the same name.

He noted that the City has already bonded for the new fire station and the bond payments must be paid. Scott Clochie, 6637 Pelican Place asked where the City planned to build the new fire hall. Mayor Bisel explained that it would be in the 7700 block of Lake Drive on the same property where the current fire hall is located.
