My Agenda

There are only 10 short weeks left before the November 7th Election. I will be discussing one of my agenda items each week. This week I have choosen my proposed Residential Handbook:

Residential Handbook


I propose a Residential Handbook be created for Isanti's residents. The City already has handbooks for builders and developers. I believe that Isanti's citizens should have the same advantage of knowing the ordinances and fees that affect them.

The Residential Handbook would include the following:
  • List of City Ordinances
  • List of City Fees and Taxes
  • List of key Definitions including Easements and Right of Way
  • Chart showing where your Property Taxes are Spent
  • Copy of City Budget
  • List of City Officials with Contact Information
  • City Map with Government Buildings and Trails & Parks clearly marked

    As long as you make it available from the city's website in PDF format I'll be happy.

  3. Yes it will online at the City website and several real-estate agents have asked to partner with my idea and share the printing cost so they give it to new home owners.
