Mounds View Planning Commission November 4, 2020 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Monn asked if the City should hire staff from Lino Lakes to assist with watershed permitting. City Administrator Zikmund commented the City may not have statutory authority to use outside staff for this work. He explained it was his job to manage City staff and he reported he did not have a concern with taking on this work as it would be less of a burden than working with the watershed district.
