adoption of legislative priorities is intended to portray the City's position on a variety of
issues and to communicate to Lakeville's residents, legislators, county and state officials,
lobbying organizations and other interested parties Lakeville's position on a variety of
significant legislative topics.
Council Members LaBeau and Anderson expressed concern with using the term
"affordable" housing and felt that the term "attainable" is more appropriate.
Council members agreed that the document should be clear that the City opposes any
mandated housing requirements.
Mr. Mielke suggested an amendment to Page 11, Paragraph IV.B. Policv with the last
sentence to read, "In addition, the City opposes any mandated housing requirements."
