Mayor Hardin commented that the Council has not had the opportunity to review the applications. Councilmember Peterson inquired if interviews would be conducted by Council or will they just make a decision based on the applications. Councilmember Beyer stated that she had been contacted by a resident who indicated there was a mention about binding arbitration with regard to this pending lawsuit and that we could get this settled more quickly. City Attorney Goodrich noted that the case in discussion is the Terry Hendriksen versus the City of Ramsey lawsuit. It could go to binding'arbitration if both parties agree to that. Councilmemher Zimmerman suggested that would save a lot of money. Councilmember Peterson felt the entire CoUncil should be involved in this appointment. Councilmember Beyer questioned if this would be setting a precedence. Councilmember Peterson felt it would not be'setting a precedence because this is an issue that has been passed on to the Council by the Planning Commission. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Mayor Hardin to have staff schedule interviews with the applicants. Further discussion: Terry Hendriksen noted, that the portiOn of minutes included in the case is accurate, but the discussion before that was that the Planning Commission did not feel comfortable making a recommendation they would otherwise make.
