1 <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION SESSION FEBRUARY 6, 1993 <br />at the direction of the City, will there be discussions based on <br />how liberal the City boards and commissions should be in fitting <br />the goals of the City with the goals of the Comprehensive Land <br />Use Plan? Mayor Reinert explained that the vision for Lino Lakes <br />is very broad. The City must be sensitive to the environment. <br />Mr. Gelbmann suggested that a mission statement would be <br />important because it makes everyone push in the same direction. <br />Mrs. Scharpen, Charter Commission member noted that a recent <br />survey received good response and asked if this could be done <br />again. Mayor Reinert noted that surveys are costly but do <br />provide a way to reach out and find out what the citizens think <br />about particular issues. Mrs. Liljedahl said cable T V is also a <br />good way to get information to the people. Mr. Tesch noted that <br />he has received a lot of input from people who watch the public <br />meetings. He explained that the newsletter has been expanded and <br />improved. He also noted that time and money are common problems <br />in trying to keep the community informed. <br />Mr. Bohjanen, Charter Commission member suggested that a <br />questionnaire be inserted in each newsletter. A particular <br />interest area could be highlighted with each newsletter. <br />The possibility of a municipal golf course was discussed. Mayor <br />Reinert explained that this is a new and exciting idea for Lino <br />Lakes, however, no one knows where this venture may go. He <br />explained that the City Council would appreciate comments and <br />encouraged everyone to think about the idea. <br />Mr. Wessel explained how the municipal golf course idea <br />originated. Mr. Glenn Rehbein is looking for a way to develop <br />his property along the south side of I35W in a way that it will <br />be compatible with the long term needs of the City. The golf <br />course could be constructed now and still maintain the long term <br />option to develop the property into something else. Mrs. <br />Nordine, Planning and Zoning Board member noted that once the <br />land is developed into a golf course, it will be difficult to <br />take this open space away for other uses. Mr. Smith noted that <br />long ago the Economic Development Committee felt that this <br />freeway interchange should be kept for commercial/industrial <br />development. <br />Mayor Reinert said he felt that a golf course would blend well <br />with the planned business park and water tower on the north side <br />of I35W. He explained that a municipal golf course could be a <br />real amenity for this community as well as a revenue source. <br />Mrs. Nordine, Planning and Zoning Board member asked if there <br />would be a club house? It was explained that a club house was <br />PAGE 9 <br />15 <br />
