- Approving the closed session meeting minutes for the disciplinary action against Council Member Larson
- Nuisance Abatement public hearing for addresses 441 and 444 Dual Boulevard
- Making Appointment to Planning Commission
- Consider action on $200,000 in excess revenue over budget
- Appointing new Mayor Pro-Tem and Finance Committee Member
The next item deals with the junk yard that has appeared along Dual Blvd. The owner of the property has stacked dozens of rusted out boat trailers, damaged boats and other miscellaneous junk. This occurred late last fall. We can not allow this type of violation of our City Ordinances and community standards. It hurts all of us.
The Council will be interviewing three candidates for Planning Commission. I will be asking each Candidate identical questions. As one is being interviewed by the Council the other two will be asked to wait outside the Chamber.
The next item is the $200,000 in excess revenues There is a proposal to spend half this amount on capital projects. I could not disagree more. The items requested are items that should be budgeted. The requested items are needed items and are good items but they should be in the budget. My concern is the past and proposed continued off budget spending. This practice leads to higher property taxes and lax fiscal discipline.
Due to council Member Larson's actions and the ensuing Council discipline the position of Mayor Pro-tem and Finance Committee positions are open. I will be making my appointments at the meeting.

Mayor Wimmer,
Kudos to you on the changes that you have brought on behalf of the citizens of Isanti. Oversight over our tax dollars, prudent financial planning and transparency of activity at city hall are all very evident under your administration. I especially appreciate your efforts to move quickly and with purpose and to establish a vision of what we can build together.
Good Work Mayor,
With the increasing debt load of the city, it may make sense to put the excess revenue towards reducing the city debt. I would hope that 200,000 would make some small impact.
200,000 would be a great start to a new senior center.
Did anyone see the crap sue wrote in the county news. the same paper that hide the council story of her punishment and then give her a large spot to giver her side.
sue has no idea what ethics are. she said she could give to a guy's family but not to him. that makes no sense. i have sent george an e-mail asking him to check into her claim that she was going to give the majority of the money she claimed to others. she said it and she should be held accountable for it. even if that is true what was she going to do with the rest of the money.
i can only hope everyone sees through her scam. did she attempt to pay anyone before she was caught?
Yes I did read her comments, what is her thought proccess? Her justification is way out to lunch. Keep your leaders honest, Mayor!
