Mounds View City Council February 24, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br />• <br />Mayor Linke asked Mr. Ericson to have Julie Fleming Wolfe provide the information to City <br />Hall to be picked up. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had not heard anything on his three data practices requests <br />and asked for a status update. <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that he had no requests for data from Council <br />Member Stigney and asked him to resubmit the requests to be processed immediately. <br />Mayor Linke indicated he does not approve of the policy of having Council Members submit <br />requests in writing as they are elected to run the City and should have access to all information <br />provided it is not private. <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated that there is no exception to the data practices requirements for <br />Council Members. <br />Mayor Linke said he feels it is ludicrous to have to beg for the information he needs to do his job. <br />He then asked whether the request needs to be written or could be verbal. <br />.
