The December 12th meeting will be <br />taped in the event we wish to know what takes place." <br />Peterson asked Callahan if he had received any input from <br />Jo Ellen Hurr regarding the draft resolution. <br />Callahan stated that Ms. Hurr was not at the December 6th <br />meeting. <br />Bernhardson stated that he had a meeting with Ms. Hurr <br />today. He said, "Ms. Hurr asked whether Orono's decision not to <br />attend the December 12th meeting constituted a boycott, or if <br />there were other reasons we were not attending. I informed her <br />that since it seemed that the only purpose of the meeting was to <br />talk about the operation of the LMCD regulations there was no <br />point for Orono attending. The City of Orono intends to work <br />separately with the DNR. I suggested that the draft resolution <br />may carry more weight insofar as the LMCD drawing future <br />financial support than would our decision not to attend this one <br />meeting." <br />Callahan said, "My point <br />attending this meeting because <br />part to attend.

I told <br />her that I thought the LMCD acted in haste adopting th3 Plan and <br />it was not appropriate for the LMCD to have submitted the Plan <br />immediately to the Met Council. I initiate=d some discussion <br />about looking into the possibility of having the cities that <br />voted in favor of they Plan talk to their representatives about <br />reopening this issue. Even if that does not occur, I believe <br />that somebody should talk to the LMCD Board at large and <br />emphasize to them the seriousness of their actions. There are <br />eight major cities that are not in agreement with the Plan. The <br />LMCD should consider what consequences may arise from that.
