THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Open Mike <br /> <br />Ellen Medenwaldt stated that the City of Elk River does not have any <br />municipal recreational activities to offer residents of Elk River. She <br />questioned what could be done to improve this situation. Mayor. Gunkel <br />informed Ms. Medenwaldt that there are many ways to become involved in <br />city government and suggested that the Recreation Board may be a good <br />place to start. She suggested that Ms. Medenwaldt attend a Recreation <br />Board meeting and to call City Staff with any questions she may have. <br /> <br />Consideration of Lois Carton Assessment Cancellation <br /> <br />The City Administrator indicated that Ms. Lois Carton owns two parcels of <br />land that have received ~ special assessment for sewer interceptor. He <br />noted that one parcel is 11 acres and does not have any buildable ground <br />on it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schuldt suggested that the assessment be deferred and <br />assessed later if the lot is developed. <br /> <br />Ms. Carton stated that she would like the assessment forgiven, not <br />deferred, as it is unfair to be assessed for property without receiving <br />benefit. She indicated she did complain at the time the land was being <br />assessed, however, no one from the City came to look at the land at that <br />time. <br /> <br />The City Attorney stated that he would have to check the statutes as the <br />proper appeal procedure was not followed. <br /> <br /> <br />
