January 13, 1975
Mayor Johnson said he wished there were two vacancies to fill and hoped
the loser did not feel slighted and would continue to give his or her
energies to the community.
Councilman Pickar said Mrs. Haake has had considerable experience and
Mr. Shelquist brings new ideas to the community. This is a difficult
decision.
Councilman Baumgartner agreed that the two candidates are so close it
is difficult to choose. In the past criticism has been voiced in Mounds
View for not having adequate Council representation north of Highway #10.
Thus he favored Mr. Shelquist.
Councilman Hodges stated he gave Mrs. Haake the edge over Mr. Shelquist
because of her experience.
Mayor Johnson stated that both candidates were so close that minute points
affect the decision because both candidates are equal on the major ones.
He stated it is important to balance representation on the Council and that
he thus favored Mr. Shelquist.
Councilman Pickar said his final preference is Mrs. Haake and asked the
attorney whether the mayor makes the appointment in case of a tie.
Attorney Meyers responded in the affirmative.
