"The Reinert Resolution" is basically a Council action that would allow Decision Resources to develop and include a question in the city survey that would ask the residents if they would like to have a referendum on the question about funding for the Viking stadium. A professionally conducted survey of the citizens of Lino Lakes will provide an opinion from the public on this issue rather than our City Council acting outside of its role to speak for the citizens.
