Figures show that perhaps cities like New <br />Brighton with the high average-valued home, maybe are <br />the ones that don't receive a lot of government aids. <br />and that is what the system was designed to do. <br /> <br />Schmidt thanked Benke for trying to bring clarity to the <br />property tax barrage and i ndi cated tha t Senator Novak <br />says this next year they are really going to be doing <br />something to deal with taxes and property taxes. <br /> <br />Motion by Blomquist. seconded by Schmidt. to have an <br />Executive Session on Tuesday, May 22. 1984. at 7:00 p.m. <br />with City Council, City Attorney, City Manager. and <br />Community Development Director to discuss proposed <br />settlement of litigation. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carri ed <br /> <br />Winkels reminded Councilmembers of the depositions on <br />May 22, 1984 concerning Midwest Asphalt and asked them <br />to advise him of their availability. <br /> <br />Motion by Harcus, seconded by Benke. to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Page Nine <br /> <br />RCLLG May Meeting <br /> <br />1984 Property Tax Survey <br /> <br />Executive Session <br />Scheduled <br /> <br />Depositions, Midwest <br />Asphalt <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Grego B. arcus, Mayor <br /> <br />--"-"-'-"" ". <br /> <br />\~/.. <br /> <br />~~\~.- <br />Marga~ef - ,.-=(gan'.. <br />Finanr.e Director/City Clerk <br />..~- " -- '---...
