Motion by Couneilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sort,berg to amend Councilmember Reimann's motion to include that the Charter Oor~mission also review the following and report back to Council within 60 days: Precinct Liaison and Meetings. Precinct liaisons allow for one person to misrepresent City Council; past history shows that there is poor attendance at precinct liaison meetings; 'Citizen Input' accomplishes the intent of precinct liaison; advertisement and promotion of precinct liaison meetings is a waste of tax dollars. Chapter 8, as it relates to and conflicts with new cor~uercial and industrial developaent in the community in comparison with State Statute Chapter 429. Further Discussion: Mayor }{eitman stated that Councilmember Cox should attend the Charter Commission meeting to better present his concerns.

Oouncil unanimously consented to dispense with the reading of the resolutions to identify benefited property owners. Councilmember Sort,berg pointed out that the citizens do have the right to submit petitions opposing these sealooating projects and Council had better be sure the areas are in need of sealcoating; partticularly Project %'s 85-9, 85- 10, 85-11 and 85-12. City Engineer Raatikka stated that general State policy is to sealcoat every 5-6 years and snowfall interrupted an actual on-site inspection of some of the areas proposed. City Engineer stated that because of Charter time frames, proceedings had to be initiated at this time in order to acoomplish sealcoating during the upcoming construction season. Mr. Raatikka stated that it is good practice to sealcoat every 5-6 years, regardless of the amount of traffic, in order to prevent the blacktop from drying out. Mr. Raatikka stated that the proposed sealcoating areas can be inspected prior to the public hearing and any areas not requiring sealcoating can be deleted.
