February 28, 1982
The Special Meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called
to order at 5:15 P.M., February 18, 1982 by Mayor Benson. Council
Members present: Elsenpeter, Kulaszewicz, Reinert (5:22 P.M.).
Absent: Marier.
Mayor Benson noted that this meeting had been called for the
purpose of discussing the pending Supreme Court Case. He asked
Mr. Locher to review the case.
Mr. Locher noted the five points that the City was contesting
and gave a summary of the procedures to be followed at the pre -
trial conference to be held February 19, 1982 at 3:00 P.M.
Mayor Benson asked if the hearing deals with the sewer project?
or does it relate to just bonding?
Mr. Locher said, basically, it deals with the interpretation of
Chapter 429 of the State Statutes that deals with improvement
projects.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher for a report from the independent
bond Counsel.
Mr. Schumacher reported that he had contacted Mr. Peter Popovich
for his opinion on this matter. Mr. Popovich had been part of the
Minnesota State Legislature and had participated in the writing of
Chapter 429. Mr. Schumacher reported that the letter had not
arrived at the office before this meeting, but Mr. Popovich had
contacted him by telephone and given his report orally.
Mr. Popovich reported that he felt the dropping of this case would
have no effect on future bond sales nor on the City's current bond
rating.
Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to drop this suit. Seconded by Mr. Reinert.
The Motion carried with Mrs. Elsenpeter voting, No.
Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to adjourn at 5:26 P.M. Seconded by Mr.
Reinert. Motion carried unanimously.
These minutes were considered and approved at a regular scheduled
Council meeting held on March 22, 1982.
