CITIZEN COMMENTS & REQUESTS: Bonnie Carlson, 2646 Clearview
Ave., president of the Mounds View League of Women Voters,
requested that the City pay the cost of a publication /news-
letter informing citizens of the various upcoming election
issues and candidates. Right now the Mounds View citizens
must rely on the New Brighton Bulletin and individual flyers
for this information. The League would prepare a questionnaire
for the candidates to complete and then assemble and prepare
the information for publication and assist in the mailing.
The bill for printing and mailing would be about $575.00.
Atty. Meyers stated that this expenditure would be for a valid
public purpose, although he hadn't actually researched it.
Bonnie Carlson had contacted the State League officials
and they thought the publication was a good way to inform
citizens. The publication would be strictly for informational
purposes and would be totally unbiased.
Councilman Pickar asked if the questionnaire would be screened
for accuracy? Ms. Carlson stated the League would review
the individual questionnaires and limit the length of the
answers and review for grammatical accuracy, but the published
statements will be what the candidates answer.
Acting Mayor Hodges advised putting this item on the agenda
for the August 2 Council agenda session.
Acting Mayor Hodges asked the Administrator how many persons
had applied for the Council vacancy? Admin. Achen listed the
following five applicants: L. "Jerry" Blanchard, 8005
Groveland Rd.; Bruce Madsen, 5463 Adams St.- LuVerne E.
