Mounds View City Council ~egular Meeting Page Five March 22, 1993 Orduno stated that the officers feel that with the City Attorney handling prosecutions they have input. This bill would mean that the County Attorney would be handling all suburban prosecutions. This may be voluntary, but was not mentioned in the bill. At some point because of handling all of the suburban prosecutions, the costs will go up and the accountability will go down. Bigger is not better. Orduno mentioned again the fact that this bill is stuck in the sub- committee at this time but it is something that comes up and the City's have no input regarding the affect it has on the cities. Councilmember Wuori stated that perhaps this resolution will help kill it in the committee stage rather than on the floor. Councilmember Quick stated that this would have been a good forum topic for the Ramsey County League of Local Government.
