M/S/F Williams/Aunt - should the City include a referendum on the ballot in November with the question, "Would the City of Lake Elmo extend a tax rate levy currently in effect for two years to fund a public information campaign to oppose the landfill proposed for the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. (Motion Failed. 2-2: Dunn: We can continue to work with the funds we do have available to implement items REAPP has suggested. I have a problem with accepting extension of the referendum at a time of economic uncertainty. I believe the landfill is going to be stopped on the EIS .level; Graves: Based on conversations with County Board members, I was led to believe they would use the EIS as justification for rejecting this. I. would support using City resources to the best extent possible. I would authorize spending monies for a public information campaign out of the existing referendum funds and would like to see REAPP come with a specific proposal. I would be very receptive to the items suggested by REAPP.)
