Councilor Raquel Lundberg(Waller House B+B owner) CONFLICT OF INTEREST 6-5-17

Notice there is NO MENTION OF councilor Raquel Lundbergs request to change the parking ordinance in residential districts......this is because they don't want the public to know this conversation ever took place. The city staff responsible for writing the minutes is Wendy Zylka, the wife or Mayor Greg Zylka. I have sent an email letting Jon Radermacher,

city administrator know that these minutes are incomplete and therefore inaccurate. The council is forbidden from passing inaccurate meeting minutes.

Here is the audio/video of Raquels request. (listen at 16 minutes into the video) A definite conflict of interest. She owns the Waller House Bed and Breakfast which offers a tea service by request...the only one in town. So she is the only one who stand to gain financial benefit from this suggested law change. Her suggestion conflicts and nullifies a large part of her conditional use permit to operate in a residential zone. Important to remember, Wallers who first operated this business, were in violation of the law. City code forbid motels/hotels/restaurants in residentially zoned districts. Then Raquel bought the business from Wallers and operated the business in violation of the law for years, until the Bed and Breakfast ordinance was created specifically for her. Then she applied for and got a conditional use permit to operate her B and B, that included language to operate her tea service by appt. That conditional use permit, required her to have off street parking for all 5 bedrooms she rents out, and ALL of her customers for tea service. She immediately violated her conditional use permit and was sent a letter by the city for her not to hold food events after 4pm as her conditional use required. Later the city planning commission made recommendations to allow her to utilize "dual use parking" for these customers, instead of requiring her to fulfill the off street parking requirements for her business. This latest request(by her) is a conflict of interest.

What council needs to remember is that the law changes will apply to any other business in a residential zone as well. Including my home, should I ever want to operate a gift shop, restaurant, bed and breakfast or any other business. If Raquel is not required to have off street parking requirements, neither will anyone else.

Little Falls Mn council wk sess 6-5-17 CONFLICT OF INTEREST for COUNCILOR RAQUEL LUNDBERG/owner of Waller House B+B)

Little Falls city council work session 6-5-17. Listen at 2.40 minutes into video, for Mike Roach's proposal to build a 40ft high 3 story apt. building by the dam and buy part of Veterans Park, from the city and part of the vacated lot that is between the southern half of Veterans Park(south side of highway 27) in order to build it. Listen to the embarrassing conversation and laughter at the end of Mike's request where Council President Jeremy Hanfler suggests the city has more parks to sell if he wants to buy some more land. I oppose this. City bends over backwards to change or subvert the zoning ordinances to please him and accommodate whatever he proposes.(at least since 2011)

Councilor Raquel Lundberg/owner of the only Bed+Breakfast and food service in a residential zone at present) makes her suggestions to change the zoning ordinance to benefit her business...a definite conflict of interest.

She is the only one at present who stand to benefit financially from this law change. Her suggestions bend her conditional use permit to operate as well. Listen beginning at 16 minutes in. What is important to remember is that a few years back when Dan Vogt was the city administrator(and former full time administrator for Brainerd who had a conflict of interest/ethics policy passed while he was their administrator), I asked this city council to pass an ethics/conflict of interest policy, which is recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities....they did not, of course. If ever there was a clear conflict of interest, it is Raquel Lundberg's suggestion to change parking laws in residential areas, to benefit HER business.

Listen at 14.20 to Greg Kimman's suggestions on zoning law changes and when they will introduced on July 3,2017 and be voted on at the July 17, 2017 council meeting. There are all kinds of problems with the proposed zoning changes. I have emailed all of the councilors, the mayor and the city administrator Jon Radermacher, as well as Ben Oleson and Greg Kimman with my concerns about deleting the parking lot screening between a business and a residence, as well as the addition of allowing helipad use language into the ordinance. This will be problematic going forward, I can assure you.

The garbage contract discussion begins at 29 minutes in the video until all the way to the end.

Little Falls city council allows Garden Brother Circus allowed to perform at the last minute. Not acceptable.

http://mcrecord.com/2017/06/12/the-circus-went-on-despite-tough-questions-at-council-meeting/

Below is the Little Falls city ordinance that conflicts with Minnesota state statute....so in other words it is ILLEGAL. Just another example of poorly written ordinances by past city attorneys/okayed by past city administrators and enacted by past city councils. There are very FEW city ordinances that have NOT been revised in the last six years. People should be asking if this city can do anything right the first time. Sure doesn't seem like it to me.

This show license will be changed sometime in the future. Stay tuned. I will post updated language/ordinance here when it is done.

Notice the word "EXCEPTION" in this ordinance. It is ALWAYS those EXCEPTIONS that violate the U.S.CONSTITUTION(and in this case the Minnesota Constitution/state law as well). It is these EXCEPTIONS that CAUSE LAWSUITS.

So right now, as long as this UNCONSTITUTIONAL ordinance is in effect, if any individual applied for a "show license" and was DENIED....they could SUE THE CITY OF LITTLE FALLS, MN and win, because the city CANNOT LEGALLY GIVE EXCEPTIONS UNDER THEIR LAWS TO "SOME" and not "ALL"

Listen to the comments/discussion of the city attorney Toni Wetzel, Mayor Greg Zylka and councilors about the circus permit. This is the special council meeting 1pm on 6-5-17 specifically to authorize a permit for Garden Brothers Circus AFTER they were allowed to setup at the Little Falls Hockey Exchange Arena WITHOUT the necessary permits.

Call city hall to voice your concerns. 320-616-5500......it costs everyone TAX DOLLARS to fight lawsuits. How much more are you willing to let these incompetent clowns spend?

More Little Falls city council incompetence....plain vanilla simple. Shame on all of them, for being unaware of state law to do with circus permits....especially those involving dangerous wild animals. What a bunch of clowns.

The public had no way to know this permit was not granted until the last minute, because the application for the circus permit was not in the council packet that was on the city website....hence, the public could not make comment about this. There was a public comment time at the work session on 6-12-17 but the notice for this special council meeting was not published until AFTER the council packet 6-12-17 was published.

The Garden Brothers circus has a d minus rating from the Better Business Bureau.

They have a sordid history of animal cruelty, abuse, neglect, poor customer service and more. Much more. Read the following articles and watch the movie to see how.
