OTHERS PRESENT: Dennis O'Donnell, Dale Haug, Stuart Goldschen. Mayor Bud Reber called the meeting to order and called for informal discussion among those present, to discuss a long range Township City merger or annexation plan. Joe Bechtold . and Bernie Schloemer stated that Bob Heim may not be able to attend this meeting, because of a prior commitment, and Bob Pogatchnik is expected later. Discussed were the similarity of tax rates, similarity and differences of ordinances, sources of revenue, services, and needs of the residents and property owners. Joe Bechtold stated that the tax rates are very similar. Bob Loso stated that orderly annexation should be considered. The Township Supervisors were opposed to consideration of orderly annexation, but stated that services could be provided at varying levels to different districts. Also the special needs of the farmers should be considered through representation. The status of the southeast portion of the Township was questioned. It was stated that this portion could go to an adjoining government, or be retained by the Township or a merged entity. Joe Bechtold stated that sartell and Le Sauk agreed to orderly annexation after many meetings, and much study. They have many differences and less property area, but probably like population. . The group felt that the Comprehensive Plans should be compared, prior to the city adopting the updated revision. Also discussed was the Transportation Plan, of the City and Township. The Township has adopted a plan and the City J.s currently considering one along with the Comprehensive Plan. ~ Page 2238 · May 17, 1993 The group discussed that the portion of the Transportation Plan which transects through st. Benedict's is controversial. Mayor Reber stated that if it is in the best interests of the people, any agreement can be looked at, discussed, and changed through legal means. Township representatives stated that they carried out all the legal requirements prior to adopting their Plan, and that an annexation without a public hearing was contingent upon retaining that corridor in the Plan. The group also discussed that the roadway plan infringes on wetlands in some areas. Hazen made a motion to recess at 9:05 p.m. to call Bob Pogatchnik and find out if he will be attending the meeting; seconded by Rieke. All members present voted aye. Motion carried unanimously.
