She noted how two similar proposals in the cities of Maple Grove and Blaine were denied by their City Councils after residents strongly protested. William Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, stated Commissioners seem to take a very narrow view in making recommendations to the Council. He asked if the it would be possible for the Mayor to provide descriptions as to the responsibilities for members of the various commissions. • Cameron Obert, 8315 Greenwood Drive, stated the Planning Commission does a lot of the investigative work for the City Council.
