LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1987 PAGE 10 <br />City appeals it or not, there is no legal implication upon him". <br />In order to set the matter to rest; Tom felt he finally did what he <br />should have done a year ago. He filed a suit against the City for <br />Declaratory Judgement action. Tom stated "what Judge Kalina did, <br />which he feels he was totally in error in that particular case, was no <br />consequence to him. If you are trying to imply that my wife somehow <br />is not of good character because she voted on it --you are dead wrong <br />both from a legal and moral standpoint". Tom added "I know, and you <br />know, you raised it for political reasons to benefit your crowd that <br />come down, including Mr. Madson. You and Mr. Moe can do as you see <br />fit". <br />Councilman Graves responded to Mr. Armstrong "that your opinion is <br />only as good as your own voice and opinion are registered." Graves <br />had consulted with other attornies who could differ with Armstrong's <br />opinion. Tom asked if Graves would like to name them. Graves <br />responded "No, I would not". <br />City Attorney Knaak advised the Council not to respond further and <br />encouraged Mr. Armstrong to recall what lawyers are required to do <br />with communication during litigation and to direct any further <br />comments to him. Armstrong responded that this would be settled in <br />Court. <br />9. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />A.
