November 29, 1993 The Honorable Geri Evans State office Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Dear Representative Geri Evans; The purpose of this letter is to confirm your attendance at the Mounds View City Council's December 6, 1993 Work Session and to thank you for taking the time to meet with the Council and Staff to discuss the issues of concern to the City of Mounds View. At the Council's November 1, 1993 Work Session, the Council developed a list of legislative priorities which they consider to be important for Mounds View in the 1994 Legislative Session. The list includes the following issues: * Increasing the filing fee and requirements for elective office * Limitations on the DNR permits to remove water from area lakes * Amendment of the Human Rights Law to provide law enforcement officers more discretionary authority over lawful stops. * Amendment to the MSA allotment procedures which currently require cities to construct roadways according to standards which may not be appropriate to a particular city and also allow cities to spend MSA money on any road in the city. * Additional restrictions on agricultural peddlers in a city. Several of these peddlers pose many problems for the City, yet we are not permitted to establish fees to offset the cost of enforcement of our laws. * Improved coordination of responsibilities regarding inspections of manufactured home parks. * Repeal of the State imposed sales tax on cities * A realistic, reasonable and truly informative Truth In Taxation Law which recognizes the budgetary process of cities and does not present misleading information to residents many months before a city's budget is completed.
