Hoyt <br /> Bill Dom <br /> Carol Fritchie <br /> Jim Rahn <br /> d'Arcy Bosell <br /> <br />Ham Lake <br /> <br />Oak Grove <br />St. Francis <br />Columbus <br />Ham Lake <br />Centerville <br />East'Bethel <br />Andover <br /> <br />NOTICE: <br /> <br />TEE NEXT MEETING SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 27, 1987, ~AS BEEN <br />CANCELLED <br /> <br />Bill Dom reviewed the issues before us, the different approaches <br />to take and goals toward legislative changes. He also reviewed <br />the organizational statutes which apply to the Metro Council. <br /> <br />There are three possible avenues to take in regard to the issues <br />before us. <br /> <br />Jurisdictional legislation to: <br /> <br /> 1. eliminate jurisdiction all together (strong measure) <br /> 2. limit authority of the Metro Council <br /> <br />Both approaches would simply involve changing the wording in the <br />Statutes. <br /> <br />Political legislation: -' <br /> <br /> The enabling legislation (statute) states that redistricting <br />is to occur every 10 years based on the census of the community <br />but the Legislature can change that based on whatever criteria <br />they choose. <br /> <br /> Another approach could be developing a Rural Community <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Innovative legislation: <br /> <br /> One suggestion was placing the burden of the costs of holding <br />out development in the outside areas upon the areas inside that <br />benefit from that holding out. Perhaps a tax on the interior <br /> <br /> <br />
