Raquel Lundberg conflict of interest, owns Waller House B+B asks to skirt her conditional use permit

 Councilor Raquel Lundberg asked council at a work session recently, to eliminate the food service restriction during the hours of 8am and 4pm on Bed and Breakfasts(she has the only one in town). She also convinced council and city staff to remove any obligations in her conditional use permit that require off street parking for her B+B and Teas by Appointment customers.

part 1 of 2 public hearing 10-9-17 

This is a part of her conditional use permit. So in essence she wants city planning  commission to recommend to the city council, that her conditional use restriction of food service be modified or eliminated. Her buddies Councilor Frank Gosiak and Council President Jeremy Hanfler are on the planning commission. Hanfler is the planning comm president. Remember when Frank Gosiaks sister( former mayor Cathy VanRisseghem) was advertising on her official mayoral Facebook page for a few chosen businesses, like Waller House B+B and Hilmerson RV(her good buddies)  all from behind the desk of her other job, CEO of Little Falls Conventuon and Visitors Bureau( which was likely a conflict of interest and illegal under the city charter)?

part 2 of 2 public hearing 10-9-17 planning commission votes unanimously to recommend the language that only allows food service from 8am-4pm be stricken from the ordinance. That means that Councilor Raquel Lundberg's proposed food service during her murder mystery dinners by appt. could last until midnight.   Car doors will be slamming in that neighborhood more than the neighbors like.  Betcha.  And if the council approves this, this applies to other bed and breakfasts anywhere in town.  Rule applies to everybody the same. Right?

This is a huge conflict of interest for Raquel Lundberg. City council better not eliminate this part of her existing current conditional use permit. For years she and the Wallers got by with operating an illegal motel/restaurant in a residential district. City turned a blind eye.

 I would advise concerned citizens to show up for this planning meeting on Oct. 9th at 6:30pm.  https://www.aclu-mn.org/en/news/dissent-patriotic-do-our-city-councils-want-listen

I should not be the only one in town, willing to keep them honest. This is just one of hundreds of examples of dishonest, opportunity thieving council, service club members and city staff operate to pocket all they can.

Ought to make you mad as heck they get by with it.

We all pay the bill when they steal opportunities because of their networking, grant sucking thievery.
