1997 STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS <br />MAYOR JOHN LANDERS <br />Welcome to those of you in our audience this evening, as well as those of <br />you at home. <br />In response to the rapid growth our community experienced in the early <br />1990's, the city council sponsored a community visioning program in 1995. <br />The recommendations that came out of 20/20 Vision have been helping to <br />guide the policies and decisions of the council, and our advisory boards. <br />One recommendation, that a survey be conducted, took place in 1996. The <br />survey was important for three reasons: <br />1. It told us that we are on the right track <br />2. It identified your concerns <br />3. It reinforced the 20/20 Vision <br />We were happy to see that 93% rated the quality of life in Lino Lakes as <br />"excellent" or "good". 79% feel the city is headed in the right direction. <br />For the most part, you feel safe, and empowered. You also appreciate the <br />services we provide, from recreation to snowplowing. <br />
