HUGHES & COSTELLO <br />Jerry Filla <br />April 21,1995 <br />page two <br />THOMAS R. HUGHES <br />Admitted in California <br />and Minnesota <br />I find no other credible evidence to indicate that a "secret meeting" was held sometime <br />after the February 19, 1993 meeting. <br />In addition, violations of the open meeting law under Minnesota Statutes §471.705 Subd. <br />2 provide for civil penalties only. The Lake Elmo Municipal Code Section 203.010 could <br />arguably have been violated and therefore those offending members subject to <br />misdemeanor penalties if in fact there was sufficient evidence to support such a violation. <br />However, I find no such evidence and therefore decline to prosecute. <br />Therefore, based upon the above, I will not be issuing any criminal complaints relating to <br />the Lake Elmo City Council meetings of June 1, 1994 and a alleged "secret meeting" of <br />February or March, 1993. <br />Very truly yours, <br />TXcmas�. ll�ughes <br />TRHMj <br />
