Mr. Keinath, Circle Pines City Administrator was scheduled to
appear before the City Council at this time. However he arrived
later in the meeting.
POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CHIEF PECCHIA
Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 93 Eliminating the Position
of Operations/Administrative Officer - Chief Peechia explained
that he is requesting that the position of
Operations/Administrative Officer be eliminated to provide more
coverage on patrol duty. This is in keeping with the philosophy
which involves more interaction with the public by sworn police
officers. Chief Pecchia also noted that this matter was
discussed at a recent Council work session.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 93
Eliminating the Position of Operations/Administrative Officer.
Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 93 can be found at the end of
these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 93 Authorizing Participation
in the Minnesota Police Recruitment System (MPRS) - Chief Pecchia
explained that using the MPRS hiring system will allow the City
to more efficiently hire necessary personnel utilizing a
validated testing system. He noted that MPRS is involved in
litigation regarding a minority issue. The litigation would have
not effect on Lino Lakes.
Council Member Kuether noted the cost of using this system and
explained that she remembered that the City Council was
originally given a lower cost. Chief Pecchia explained that
these rates have not increased and are the same for every
community. The process includes testing each candidate with a
written test, physical test, some psychological testing and the
selection of a list of candidates for final interviewing.
Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 93
Authorizing Participation in the Minnesota Police Recruitment
System. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. Resolution No. 95 - 93 can be found at the end of
these minutes.
Chief Pecchia updated the City Council on several matters:
- The grant application has been submitted and is amoung 2700
other applications. Applications submitted for the first

application will be considered in the second round.
- The homicide involving a juvenile offender is moving through
the court system. The female involved has been sentenced to
30 months in prison and the juvenile is awaiting the
determination of whether or not he will be tried as a juvenile
or adult.
PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND
Consideration of Preliminary Plat, Oaks of Lino Lakes - Ms.
Wyland used the overhead projector and display the map of the
preliminary plat. This plat involves a 9.3 acre parcel just west
of Aspen Lane. The property is zoned R-1, Residential and nine
(9) lots are proposed for the site. The Rice Creek Watershed
District (RCWD) has granted approval to the wetlands mitigation
plan and will be reviewing the grading plan at the December 29,
1993 meeting. The Park Board has made a recommendation on Park
Dedication and the Planning and Zoning Board has held a public
hearing to review the plat.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the
preliminary plat after the plat was reworked to provide minimal
disturbance of wetland areas and in this process two (2) of the
original 11 lots were removed. Utilities are available for
extension into this plat from Aspen Lane.
Approval of the preliminary plat is recommended with the
following conditions:
Engineering Considerations
1. Lowest proposed house pad elevations be raised as
outlined in the report from TKDA dated 12/6/93.
2. High Water Level (HWL) elevations indicated on the plan
reflect revised grading plan.
3. Minimum culvert size within the subdivision will be
18".
4. Proposed. trail culvert be moved approximately 35 feet
south.
5. Cover over proposed storm sewer be maximized.
Planning Considerations
1. A variance be granted for cul-de-sac length and
PAGE 3

irregular lot shapes.
2. All site wetlands are established as easements within
abutting lots.
3. Mitigation plan and grading plan are approved by RCWD.
4. Drainage plan subject to approval of City Engineer.
5. Driveways for Lot 7 and 8 are placed so as not to
infringe upon required drainage easements.
6. A cash donation of 10% per acre of the current market
value be required as approved by the Park Board on
October 4, 1993. In addition, a trail shall be
dedicated on the existing farm road through Lots 1 and
2.
7. A development agreement shall be signed and financial
guarantees posted prior to any construction.
Mayor Reinert noted that with the establishment of easements over
the wetlands, the new property owner is made aware that there are
wetlands and they cannot be used. Ms. Wyland explained that the
easements will not extend beyond the platted area.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the extension of municipal sewer
to this subdivision would also supply service to the land west of
the proposed plat. Ms. Wyland said no, service for these
properties would be supplied from another direction.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the preliminary plat of
Oaks of Lino Lakes with the conditions as outlined above.
Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Consideration of Variance, Sandhill Drive - A request for a
variance from the Larson's to construct a single family home on a
lot 23 feet from the front property line has been received and
reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. The lot is located in
Rice Lake Estates and is zoned Single Family Residential,
Executive (R -1X) with a PDO which, in part, provides for a 25
foot setback from the street right-of-way. Therefore, the
variance request is for two (2) feet. Ms. Wyland used the
overhead projector to show the location of the property.
In excavating for the proposed dwelling at 6677 Sandhill Drive,
the excavator noted that poor soils extended further into the
building pad than previously expected. By adjusting the building

The Building Inspector has reviewed the site and would concur
that this is a reasonable use of the property provided soil
corrections are made and soil borings obtained. A visual
inspection of the site suggests that there would be no
site/visibility problems with the intended construction. The
adjoining property owners have signed a letter indicating no
objections to the proposed variance request and the excavator has
stated that he believes soil correction is possible. The
property owner has asked that the City review the variance
request prior to the expenditure of additional costs for the soil
borings.
The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed this variance request
and recommended approval with the determination that the
following findings of fact are valid in regard to this property:
1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable
use if used under conditions allowed by the official
controls.
2. That the plight of the landowners is due to circumstances
unique to the property not created by the landowner.
3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations
alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists
under the terms of the ordinance.
4. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the
applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this
ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the
same district.
5. That the proposed actions will not unreasonably diminish or
impair established property values within the neighborhood.
6. That the proposed action will be in keeping with the spirit
and intent of the ordinance.
"Council Member Bergeson asked if the total distance from th"e
house to the existing street is greater than 23 feet. Ms. Wyland
PAGE 5
34►

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
said yes, the street right-of-way is 50 feet and the blacktopped
area from curb to curb is 32 feet leaving approximately nine (9)
feet of boulevard on each side of the street.
Mayor Reinert noted that a similar variance was requested for
Pelican Place to allow more space between the new homes and the
cliff that runs along Hodgson Road. This variance was denied
because the homes could actually be placed on the lot.
Council Member Kuether said her only objection is that the 25
foot setback is less than what is required in other residential
areas. To grant a variance to allow another two (2) feet is
making the situation worse. It was noted that without the front
porch and because of the curve of the street, the two (2) feet
will not be very noticeable.
Mayor Reinert noted that the developer never completed the map
revision taking this area out of the flood plain. The lot owner,
explained that she will personally complete this work for her
lot.
Council Member Kuether asked if there was any way to correct the
soil conditions on the lot. Mrs. Larson explained that
additional borings are needed to obtain the building permit.
Additional soil corrections on this lot could affect the
stability of the neighbors lot. Mrs. Larson explained that the
lot had been tax forfeit and with the help of the developer she
was able to redeem the lot. The developer has guaranteed that
there is 60 feet of good soils on the front of the lot.
Council Member Bergeson noted that this is a residential street
that probably will never be widened. Council Member Kuether
explained that she was concerned that the City Council not create
a situation that would affect the property values of the existing
neighbors.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the variance to allow a
home to be constructed 23 feet from the front property line with
the condition that soil corrections are made and soil borings
reviewed by the Building Inspector prior to issuance of any
building permits and the variance is granted taking into
consideration the six (6) findings of fact previously listed.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
OPEN MIRE
Report of Circle Pines Gas Franchise, Jim Reinath, City of Circle
Pines - Mr. Keinath explained that the City of Circle Pines has
PAGE 6

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
operated a gas business within a franchise in the western portion
of Lino Lakes since 1961. The franchise was renegotiated in 1985
and extended for 25 years. Since that time, the City of Lino
Lakes has experience substantial growth and the Lino Lakes gas
customers have grown from 185 to over 700. The gas utility has
now been extended into the Apollo Business Park and will serve
future commercial customers. The utility also serves the
Minnesota Correctional Facility on an interruptable basis.
Mr. Keinath noted that the Circle Pines Utility Commission
currently has one (1) representative from Lino Lakes and when the
percent of Lino Lakes customers reaches 40%, a second Lino Lakes
member will be added. Currently Lino Lakes customers make up 30%
of the users.
The Circle Pines gas utility currently is paying a 7% franchise
fee to Lino Lakes. The fee is unique in that it is not added to
the customers utility rate. It is anticipated that the City of
Lino Lakes will realize an income of approximately $30,000.00
from the franchise fee in 1994.
Mr. Keinath noted that the natural gas business is highly
regulated by the government and there are spot checks to see that
all procedures are followed correctly. He also noted that
customer rates are regulated. Employees are tested by the
Minnesota Department of Transportation, Pipeline Safety Council
and it is anticipated that in the near future all employees who
work with pipelines will have to go through a certification
process.
The Circle Pines Gas Utility maintains a 24 hour service benefit
for all customers at no extra charge to the customer.
Currently consideration is being given to requiring all
municipalities and state police agencies to have vehicles
operating with alternate fuels. It is the hope of natural gas
suppliers that municipalities will consider the use of natural
gas.
Mr. Keinath noted that the City of New Ulm is one of the first
municipalities to convert some of its police vehicles to natural
gas. The Circle Pines Gas Utility Commission has a film that
shows the benefits of using natural gas as an alternate fuel and
they are willing to share that film with every community.
Mr.. Schumacher asked what affect deregulation will have on the
Circle Pines Gas Utility. Mr. Keinath explained that
deregulation is already here and has not had much of an impact
There will be no rate increases due to deregulation. He noted
PAGE 7
34`
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
that basically deregulation has changed the level of effort of
obtaining gas to service the system.
Mayor Reinert asked about replacement of aging pipelines and
other structures. Mr. Keinath noted that there had been some
rumor that pipes and parts were being replaced in Lino Lakes with
rebuilt materials. This is not the case. The Circle Pines Gas
Utility is required to remove, test and/or rebuild the meters
every 13 years. The process in Circle Pines is to remove the
meter, replace it with a rebuilt meter and then test and repair
the old meter which is then installed in another home. Also
there was some concern with pipelines along Sunset Avenue. These
lines were replaced with plastic lines. Work crews do go through
the entire system each year and repair or replace faulty
materials.
The City Council thanked Mr. Keinath for coming this evening.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND, (CONTINUED)
FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 93 - 23, Extending Home Occupations,
Rural -Business Reserve (R -BR) Zoning District, Ordinance No. 93 -
24 Providing for Interim Uses in the Rural -Business Reserve (R -
BR) Zoning District - The City Staff and the Planning and Zoning
Board have prepared an ordinance to provide some flexibility in
use for those properties located within the R -BR, Rural Business
Reserve District. This district is located around the
intersection of Main Street (County Road 14) and I35E. The
Interim Use ordinance provides this flexibility by allowing the
use of existing farm buildings for business purposes provided
certain conditions are followed. The Interim Use ordinance
provides a temporary use of property until a particular date,
until the occurrence of a particular event, or until zoning
regulations no longer allow said use. Existing ordinances do not
provide for this type of "temporary" use.
Public hearings have been held on both proposed ordinances by the
Planning and Zoning Board and they have recommended adoption of
both ordinances.
Council Member Bergeson asked if these two (2) ordinances relate
to what is or is not permitted in this zone? Ms. Wyland
explained that the ordinances will provide for an expanded home
occupation use in existing farm buildings. Council Member
Bergeson asked why the City would permit more business activity
in the R-BR.District than is permitted in other rural districts?
Ms. Wyland indicated that the R -BR District is a temporary
district and the residents were given the impression that if they
allowed their area to be zoned in such a manner they would be
PAGE 8

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
allowed additional privileges. This district was created to
provide for the transition from rural to business use. Normally
a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is allowed for additional
privileges. However, a CUP remains with the land and has no
ending date similar to a rezone.
Council Member Kuether asked what would have to happen to end a
particular home occupation. Ms. Wyland explained that a
particular event, such as rezoning bordering property, not
necessarily a specific date would cause staff to start action to
cancel the permit. Council Member Kuether explained it seemed
unfair to allow the establishment of a home occupation and then
down the road, withdraw the approval.
Council Member Bergeson asked what would prevent a landowner in
an area zoned Rural but located in a different part of the City
from coming and asking for an extended home occupation use. Ms.
Wyland explained that the proposed ordinances are drafted for
this particular area only. There are no other areas in Lino
Lakes zoned R -BR. Council Member Bergeson said it was his
understanding that the R -BR District was established to reserve
land for business use, not to promote home businesses. Ms.
Wyland explained that the provision was that only existing farm
buildings can be used for the home occupation and will limit the
home business to just a temporary situation.
Council Member Kuether said she still was uncomfortable about
this matter because there appears to be no specific end of the
home occupation. Ms. Wyland noted that the original ordinance
establishing the R -BR District contained a formula for adding
land to the R -BR District. The rezoning of a neighboring parcel
of land would indicate the end of a home occupation. Council
Member Kuether suggested that an interim use permit could be
approved and when development progresses to a certain point the
interim use must stop. Ms. Wyland explained that this is all
addressed in the proposed ordinances.
Mayor Reinert said the proposed ordinances are fair and all
potential landowners in the R -BR Zoning District should
understand all of the requirements.
Mr. Schneider read Subd. 36, Interim Uses, paragraph (4)
TERMINATION which outlines when a interim use would be
terminated.
Council Member Elliott said she felt that these two (2) proposed
ordinances would be good transitional tools and provide for a
logical progression to business use of the properties.

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
Ms. Wyland explained that a request for an Interim Permit would
come before the City Council for their consideration and
approval. Council Member Bergeson asked that the actual permit
be designed so that the applicant signs a statement stating that
they understand the provisions of the permit.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the FIRST READING of
Ordinance No. 93 - 23 and dispense with the reading. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
'•ENGINEER'S REPORT, DARRELL SCHNEIDER
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 93 Adopting the Permanent
Rules of the Wetland Conservation Act - The Minnesota Wetlands
Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991 went into effect on January 1,
1992. The WCA calls for a Local Government Unit (LGU) to take
responsibility for administering the WCA throughout the State.
The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) declared itself the LGU
for administering the temporary rules for the WCA beginning on
January 1, 1992. At that time the City of Lino Lakes could not
qualify as the LGU because the City had not yet completed
substantial work on a Local (Surface) Water Management Plan.
The permanent rules for the administration of the WCA go into
effect on January 1, 1994. Municipalities that qualify are
encouraged by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to
pass a resolution indicating their support for the permanent
rules of the WCA and their intention to assume responsibility as
the LGU when they properly qualify. Resolution No. 98 - 93
establishes Lino Lakes as the LGU with the interim administration
to be maintained by the RCWD and the Vadnais Lake Area Water
Management Organization (VLAWMO) until approximately April 1,
1994 when Lino Lakes is expected to have completed the Local
(Surface) Water Management Plan.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 93.
Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. Resolution No. 98 - 93 can be found at the end of

The purpose of Resolution No. 97 - 93 is to redesignate $3,275.00
from the Surface Water Management Program to the City's Adaptive
Recreation Program for planning purposes.
Mr. Volk explained that the next Agenda item is a request to
appoint an American Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator and to
establish an EDA compliance committee. With the passage of the'

DECEMBER 13, 1993
Mr. Volk recommended that an ADA coordinator be appointed and a
compliance committee be authorized. The task of this committee
would be to draft a plan of action for the City Council to review
and adopt. The plan would enable the City to come into
compliance with the regulations of the ADA. If approved the
above mentioned funds would be used to prepare the draft of the
plan of action.
Mr. Volk further explained that the City will be required to
update all municipal buildings to meet the requirements of the
ADA by January 25, 1995. He noted that very few cities will be
able to meet this deadline.

budget and no property tax increase will be needed for this
budget. The 1994 Budget was reviewed in detail at the Truth in
Taxation public hearing.
Mayor Reinert referred to Resolution No. 99 - 93 and asked about
HACA. Mr. Schumacher explained this is the Homestead and
Agricultural Aid.

Council Member Kuether noted expenses for NSP and Mr. Schumacher
explained these are costs for operation of street lights.
Council Member Kuether also noted the expense for Earl F.

company who currently has the state contract for larger
quantities of signs.
Council Member Kuether questioned the expense for Brauer and
Associates. Council Member Elliott explained that this company
has been working with the Park Board in search of a site for an
athletic complex.
Council Member Kuether questioned the disbursement to Anoka
County for property tax for the park in the Shores of Marshan
Lake subdivision. It was explained that if a plat is filed after
July 1st, property taxes for the park dedication are due the
following year. It was also noted that the developers agreement
format is being changed so that the developer will be responsible
for this expense.
Council Member Kuether noted the disbursement to Lawn Management
Systems. Mr. Schumacher explained that this disbursement was for
repair of the lawn sprinklers at City Hall.
Council Member Kuether noted the disbursement to Land Title, Inc.
It was explained that at this time of year when the next years

assessments have already been filed with Anoka County, title
companies sometimes remit an incorrect amount to prepare a

December 13, 1993 as submitted. Council Member Bergeson seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

November 30, 1993 as presented. Council Member Kuether seconded

NEW BUSINESS
Introduction of Election Recount Policy - Mrs. Anderson explained
that on November 22, 1993, the City Council acting as the
Election Canvassing Board received the report of the November
election recount and approved that report. At that time the
Clerk -Treasurer was asked to write a formal policy that would
cover all aspects of an election recount, such as persons
required to attend the recount and what expenses would be billed
to the person requesting a recount.
A draft of an Election Recount Policy was presented to the City
Council. Mrs. Anderson asked that the City Council review the
policy and let her know if there are any questions or suggestions
for changes to the draft policy. The draft Policy will be
returned to the City Council for approval.
Council Member Kuether said she did not see a need for this
policy. Mrs. Anderson explained that she was requested to
prepare the policy so that when a request for a recount is
received, an estimate of the cost can easily be prepared. She
explained that if many questions and/or concerns arise tonight,
the matter will be placed on a future Council work session
agenda. Council Member Kuether asked how many times has there
bee a recount in this City. Mrs. Anderson said that this is the
first time in 18 years and probably the only time since Lino
Lakes became a city.
Mayor Reinert explained that Mrs. Anderson prepared a system for
the recount that worked well. The system also verified the
accuracy of the Accu -Vote equipment. He felt if there is a
system that works well, it should become standard policy.
Council Member Elliott felt that the policy would be a good
legacy for future City Clerks. Mrs. Anderson explained that the
policy would be a benefit for her. When the request was received
PAGE 16

1

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
for the recount and she was required to have the person
requesting the recount to post escrow money to cover expenses,
there were no guidelines to help determine what the dollar amount
should be.
Council Member Neal asked according to the current campaign
reporting ordinance, if a candidate receives less that $25.00 in
donations does he have to submit a report. Mrs. Anderson said
yes. The form that says that if the candidate received donations
of less than $25.00 or spent less than $25.00 a report must be
filed. Council Member Neal questioned Mr. Bisel's report form.
Mrs. Anderson explained that Mr. Bisel reported $95.00 in
donations but named only the persons who donated more than
$25.00.
Council Member Kuether asked what is the difference between the
draft policy and the requirements of the state statutes. Mrs.
Anderson explained the policy lists the persons who are required
to attend and assist at the recount. State statutes only say
that the City Clerk will conduct the recount and allows the City
Clerk to determine who shall assist her.
Council Member Bergeson asked that Mrs. Anderson give a copy of
the state statute to all Council Members.
Council Member Kuether asked if the League of Minnesota Cities
has a sample policy for this City to use. Mrs. Anderson
explained that she did contact the League of Minnesota Cities and
they referred her to the City of Blaine who recently conducted a
recount. A copy of the City of Blaine's recount procedure was
sent to the City and used as a guide.
This matter will be placed on a future City Council work session
agenda.
Considerations of Clerk -Treasurer's Report Regarding Campaign
Reporting Compliance - The City enacted an ordinance requiring
disclosure of all campaign contributions and expenses over
$25.00. Final reports have been received from Mr. Bisel's
personal campaign committee, the Committee for Concerned Citizens
for Responsible Government, Council Member Bergeson and Council
Member Kuether as well as the report from the Reinert for Mayor
Committee. Council Member Kuether's report stated that she
neither spent or received more than $25.00. A report was
received regarding another committee for Mayor Reinert. After an
investigation a note was sent to the Clerk -Treasurer indicating
that the "committee did not get off the ground" and neither
collected or disbursed any money. Mr. Bohjanen circulated a
letter in support of Mr. Bisel. Mr. Bohjanen has been asked to
PAGE 17
353
3,54
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
make a report regarding the costs involved in drafting and
distributing the letter. Mr. Bohjanen has indicated that he
would make a personal report to the City Council. A copy of Mr.
Bohjanen's letter was given to all Council Members.
Mayor Reinert asked if everyone has responded to the requirements
of the City ordinance. Mrs. Anderson explained that all persons
and committees have responded to the filing requirements. One
committee is still active and will be required to file another
report in January, 1994.
Mayor Reinert noted that the Bisel campaign committee did not
have a designated depository. He explained that this is a
violation of state statutes and the City ordinance and is a
misdemeanor under the law. Mayor Reinert also noted that the
report was not filed on time. Mrs. Anderson explained that the
report was due on December 2, 1993 and was received on December
10, 1993 with a note explaining that the bank statement had not
arrived in time to complete the report as required.
Mayor Reinert said he did not see in the report for Mr. Bisel's
personal campaign any reference to the ad that was placed in the
local newspapers by Council Member Bergeson. Council Member
Bergeson explained the newspaper letter. Mayor Reinert said it
was a paid ad with a disclaimer and should have been claimed as a
contribution by the Bisel committee.
Mayor Reinert noted that the letter written and circulated by Mr.
Bohjanen on behalf of Mr. Bisel did not contain a disclaimer.
This is a violation of state campaign practices and is a
misdemeanor. He did not file a report. Even thought the cost
may have been less than $25.00, the expense should have been
reported.
Council Member Kuether noted that the letter to the editor in
support of Mayor Reinert was not reported as an expense. She
said it should have been reported as an "in kind" expense. Mayor
Reinert explained that it was a letter to the editor and there is
no cost for this item. It is not a paid ad. Council Member
Kuether said this is "nitpicking". Mayor Reinert said that this
is the first time that the ordinance has been used and it bears
out why this City should have full disclosure. He felt that the
ordinance should be strengthened.
Mayor Reinert suggested that the matter be referred to the City
Attorney to find out if the filings received follow the terms of
the City ordinance.
Council Member Bergeson said it is curious that on one particular
PAGE 18
1
1
1
1
1
1
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
ordinance the City Council is talking in public about
enforcement. He said he felt it was the job of the City Council
to set policy and it was the job of the staff to enforce the City
ordinances. Mayor Reinert said he heard Council Member Bergeson
talk about enforcement of the City ordinance in reference to the
R -BR ordinance.
Council Member Neal explained that this is an open meeting and
said, "if any Council Member cannot stand the heat, they should
get out of the kitchen".
Council Member Kuether felt if the City Council knows that
someone is violating the City ordinances, the matter should be
referred to the City Attorney. It is not up to the City Council
to enforce the ordinances. Mayor Reinert said that portions of
the campaign ordinance were violated. Council Member Kuether
said that the City Council should not be talking about this
matter but should refer the matter to the City Attorney.
Council Member Neal asked if a Council Member is arrested for
committing a misdemeanor, can that person still run for local
office. Mr. Hawkins explained.
Mr. Hawkins said he would be available to investigate all
allegations of violations of the local ordinance. However, all
allegations of violations of state statutes are beyond his
authority and should be referred to the County Attorney. Mr.
Hawkins will review the material given to him by the City Clerk.
Mayor Reinert said he felt that this election proves that the
City needs a full disclosure ordinance.
Council Member Neal moved to refer the matter to the City
Attorney. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion.
Council Member Bergeson said he did not have a problem referring
the matter to the City Attorney. However, the matter is getting
to the City Attorney in the wrong manner. He felt if the head
election official feels there is a problem or a concern, she
should report the matter to her supervisor (City Administrator)
and he should report the matter to the City Attorney. That is
the process the City follows when there is a violation of any
other ordinance. Mayor Reinert noted that the City Clerk said
she feels it is not her position to "police" this particular
ordinance. He explained that the City Council must see that all
ordinances are not violated. Mrs. Anderson explained that she
does not have the authority to approach the remitter of a filing
statement and say that she believes that a full disclosure has
been made on the forms.
PAGE 19

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1993
Council Member Kuether asked about the flyers supporting Mayor
Reinert. Mrs. Anderson explained that she wrote to the person
named on the flyer and received an answer that claimed only
several copies of the flyer were made on a copy machine but never
circulated to the public. The person stated no contributions
were received and there were no expenditures. Council Member
Kuether said something must have been expended to produce the
several flyers if only ten cents. She said if full disclosure is
required then there should be a filing from this person or group.
Mayor Reinert said he felt that there should be full disclosure
of all campaign finances.
Mr. Hawkins said it appears that there must be a "reworking" of
the campaign ordinance and it also appears that there is not a
good mechanism for enforcement. He also noted that there may be
other issues that should be addressed.
Voting on the motion, motion carried with Council Member Bergeson
voting no.
PROCLAMATION: Epilepsy Month in Anoka County - Mrs. Anderson
explained that the document proclaiming November as Epilepsy
Month arrived on the last day of November. She did talk to the
persons in administration at Anoka County and they explained that
although November was past, they wanted all Anoka County citizens
to be aware of this disorder of the central nervous system and
asked that the proclamation be read before the City Council.
Mrs. Anderson read the proclamation.
REMINDER: Monday, December 20, 1993, Last City Council Meeting

Minnesota Correctional Facility Meeting, Wednesday, December 15,
1993, 1:30 P.M. - Mr. Schumacher read a letter dated December 3,
1993 from Warden Gothriel J. LaFleur, warden at the Minnesota
Correctional Facility, Lino Lakes. This letter makes it obvious
that changes will be made at the prison. Council Member Elliott
asked if the City Council had any authority regarding the
proposed changes or is this letter just a courteous way of
letting the City know to expect changes. The City has no
authority regarding the proposed changes, however, permits would
be required for any building or remodeling projects.
Council Members Kuether, Neal, Mayor Reinert, Chief Pecchia and
Mr. Schumacher will attend the meeting.
Consideration of Council Work Session Minutes, November 22,

$3,800.00 for use in the joint partnership program. The City
Council thanked NSP for the check.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 96 - 93
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION OF
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1-4
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota as
follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes ("City") approved a tax
increment financing plan ("Plan") for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 on
March 26, 1990.
1.02. The City established the Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority
("Authority") in 1990 and transferred to it control of Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-4.
1.03. Changes and additions to the public and private improvements to be
constructed in the project area has prompted the need for a modification of the Plan.
1.04. In response to these changes, the Authority and the City have
authorized the preparation of a modified Plan, which is contained in a document
entitled "Modified Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-4" dated December 13, 1993 and on file with the city clerk.
1.05. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.174 through
469.179 ("TIF Act") , the modified Plan was referred to the Lino Lakes planning
commission which on November 10 , 1993, found that it conforms to and is not in
conflict with the general plan for redevelopment of the City as a whole.
1.06. The Authority has also adopted the modified Plan for and referred it to
the City for public hearing and consideration as provided by the TIF Act.
1.07. Copies of the modified Plan have been forwarded to Centennial School

Section 2. Findings; Tax Increment Financing District.
2.01. It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable to the
sound and orderly development and redevelopment of the project area and the City
as a whole, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and
general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the Authority and
the City to provide public financial assistance within the project area.
2.02. It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the
City, that the redevelopment proposed in the modified Plan could not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax increment financing is
necessary.
2.03. The modified Plan conforms to the general plan for redevelopment of the
City as a whole.
2.04. The proposed public improvements to be financed largely through tax
increment financing are necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of
the project area in terms of development intensity, employment opportunities and tax
base.
2.05. The modified Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment of the project area by
private enterprise.
Section 3. Approval of Modification; Filing.
3.01. The modified Plan is hereby approved. The modified Plan incorporates
by reference the original Plan except as the modified Plan explicitly or by reasonably
necessary implication conflicts with the original Plan.
3.02. The geographic boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4
are not affected by this modification and are as described in the original Plan.
3.03. The Authority is requested to file a copy of the modified Plan with the
Minnesota commissioner of revenue as required by the TIF Act.
3.04. The city clerk is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy
of this resolution to the Authority.
