January 17 Council Meeting

On a tie vote of 2-2, Council Member Johnson was absent for the 2nd meeting in a row, the City Council refused to allow staff to work on the Development Impact List. Mayor Apitz and Council Member Larson praised the List and the good work accomplished but then voted to stop its progress. They seemed to be concerned that I had initiated this work. The Council will take this issue up at the January 31st work session. I hope to renew the work on the Development Impact List after this meeting. The work needs to be completed before Isanti starts being inundated with development plats for 2006. For further details please read the previous post.

The Council left all appointments at status quo for 2006. All board, commission and committee members will remain the same.

Progress is being made on the remodeling of the old City Hall. The Police Department will move to this location once the remodeling is completed.
