Mayor McAllister noted that as per previous Council direction, the City has been working with representatives of the local Boy Scout Troop to help establish an approved recycling center here in Hugo for possible funding by Washington County in 1987. He noted that monies were available to an approved recycling center in 1986. However, since there was no approved center by Washington County, he sent a letter to said County authorizing these funds to be remitted to the recycling center in Forest Lake Township. Mayor McAllister indicated he wanted the Council to be aware of the letter he sent regarding this matter.

Councilmember Peltier stated that she was not getting her Council packet until the day of the meeting, and that did not afford her ample time to review the agenda before said meeting. She requested that the Council agenda be sent out on Thursday before each regular meeting of the City Council. City Administrator, Huber, and City Attorney, Johnson, expressed their concern that the City Council select /'��pointments to the Planning Commission very carefully as it is critical to the planning process that you have people serving on the Planning Commission for the right reasons. It was noted that if there were a large number of interested candidates in serving on the Planning Commission appointments should be made to fill the seven -member Commission seats that are currently vacant. If there are not an adequate number of acceptable candidates, the Council may want to consider reducing the size of the Planning Commission to a five -member Commission in 1987.
