t i COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1995 property owners on White Pine Road that their addresses were being changed from Baldwin Lake Road to White Pine Road. The City notified the Police Department and 911 emergencies services, the Anoka County Assessors office, the Anoka County Elections Office and the post office. The post office staff told the City that in cases such as this, they give the homeowner a reasonable amount of time to change their address on all other documents. Other personal changes such as checks would be the responsibility of the homeowner. Ms. Storberg felt that this was unfair since she did not cause the error. She also said it was expensive. Both Council Member Kuether and Council Member Neal felt that Ms. Storberg should be reimbursed for actual expenses but not for labor. Mayor Reinert said that this situation will probably not be resolved tonight and suggested that Ms. Wyland meet with Ms. Storberg to work out the problem. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 95 -125, Electing to Participate in the Local Incentives Account Program Under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Ms. Wyland read a memorandum she prepared and sent to Mr. Schumacher which outlined the steps necessary for the City to participate in this program and the funding sources available along with Resolution No. 95 - 125 indicating the City's intent to participate in the program. Mayor Reinert expressed concern about a sketchy experimental program developed by the legislature without funding. Mr. Schumacher noted that the State Legislature will revisit this program during their next session. At this time, the program is experimental, has general goals, is somewhat of a planning tool and does have some funding available. Mr. Schumacher said that he did, not see that the City would be hurt by opting to participate in 1996. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 125, Electing to Participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program Under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act for 1996 only. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 95 - 125 can be found at the end of these minutes.
