193 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 25, 1991 <br />Council Member Reinert said he felt the costs did not appear to <br />be much considering the number of residents and businesses that <br />receive the newsletter. <br />North Metro Mayor's Association - Mr. Schumacher had sent to the <br />Council the 1991 Benefits and Accomplishments publication of the <br />North Metro Mayor's Assn. He cited some issues that were of <br />concern to this organization during 1991 including supporting a <br />sales tax increase for the purpose of substituting for the loss <br />of state aid. Mr. Schumacher noted that there is now concern <br />regarding the status of the increased portion of sales tax. It <br />appears that the state may retain some of this money to help <br />balance the state budget. He also noted that the North Metro <br />Mayor's Association formed a committee to determine a formula for <br />distribution of the additional sales tax. <br />Council Member Reinert asked if this association has a budget. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that it did and it is under the <br />direction of the Board. Council Member Reinert asked what Lino <br />Lakes got for its contribution to the 1991 budget. Mr. <br />Schumacher said that Lino Lakes bought into the credibility of <br />the North Metro Mayor's Association. He explained that other <br />areas of the metro region have similar associations that lobby <br />for the interest of their particular area. This is the purpose <br />of the North Metro Mayor's Association. <br />1992 Revenue Budget - Mr. Schumacher reviewed the revenue <br />portion of the budget item by item. He noted that the City is <br />instituting a new policy of charging for gopher state one calls. <br />A fee will be added to each building permit to help cover the <br />cost of the gopher state one calls. <br />Council Member Reinert asked that it be determined if Centerville <br />will be asking for bids for police coverage. It was noted that <br />their current contract will not expire until December 31, 1992. <br />Chief Campbell said this matter would be looked at during the <br />fall of 1992. Council Member Kuether felt a letter should be <br />sent to the City of Centerville stating that Lino Lakes is <br />interested in bidding on any new contract. <br />Non - revenue receipts were reviewed. Mr. Schumacher explained <br />some of these items. <br />The work session ended at 6:30 P.M. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a <br />regular meeting of the City Council on December 9, 1991. <br />PAGE 2 <br />
