Councilmember Baumgartner stated that it had come to his attention two weeks ago
that Dennis Quan had made a statement to Ron Kaliszewski, of the State Planning
Agency, that he had unquestionable proof that there is a member or members of the
Mounds View City Council taking money from contractors for favors on votes.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that upon hearing that, he had contacted Mr.
Kaliszewski, who confirmed that Mr. Quan had made that statement to him. Council-
member Baumgartner stated that he then contacted the Ramsey County Attorney, who
advised him that it is the responsibility of Mr. Quan or any other citizen with that
information to make the information available to the Ramsey County Attorney.
Councilmember Baumgartner suggested that Mr. Quan be at the Ramsey County Attorney's
Office at 8:00 AM Tuesday morning June 27 to give him that information. He added
that he will be in touch with that office every day during the week and if no one
comes forth by then, he will request the Ramsey County Attorney to investigate the
matter. Councilmember Baumgartner asked Mr. Quan if he would like to respond. There
was no comment.
