LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 19, 1994 Page 3 In response to Sshttltz' question, Jankowski explained the Ramsey Council's main concern is just the principle of it and their concern with unequal representation. Weaver pointed out that Anoka, Andover and Ramsey have more development activity than that of Coon Rapids, and Coon Rapids can be more objective since the impact to their city is minimal. Jankowski agreed it is important to keep Coon Rapids as a participating member of the WMO with significant voting rights. However considering the Ramsey Council's standpoint, Jankowski commented that there may not need to be equal voting rights (perhaps Anoka, Andover and Ramsey have Z votes and Coon Rapids has 1 vote). Haas agreed that Coon Rapids needs to be included in the process. Weaver noted that elected officials sometimes have a perspective that is different than that of the staff. Weaver offered to attend the May 24, 1994, Ramsey Council meeting to provide them with an explanation of Coon Rapid's contributions to the LRRWMO. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Jankowski reviewed the correspondence and notices contained in the Chair's Folder, noting they do not require action.
