1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1989 Mr. Reinert asked what specific concern will satisfy everyone. Mr. Hanson said putting the petitioning out of an improvement provision in statute 429. Mrs. Rosemary Storbrg, 6978 Lake Drive noted that other cities have the same charter as Lino Lakes and asked why they do not have problems. Mr. Bisel noted that these cities were nearly fully developed when the Charter was implemented. Mr. Bisel started to move to adopt the 1st reading of Ordinance No. 03 - 89. Mr. Kennedy asked that it be sent back to the Charter Commission without a reading. Mr. Bisel said he had no problem with sending the ordinance back to the Commission but felt that members of the Commission were not communicating well. He also noted that he has repeatedly asked for minutes from the Commission and this has not been received. He also noted that Mr. Kennedy has been before the Commission to explained the problems he is encountering and the people should be aware of what the Chapter 8 is doing to Lino Lakes.
