		Important Issues: · Mary would work to keep property taxes as low as possible, while making certain we do not jeopardize quality service in police, fire, water/sewer services, and streets and park maintenance. · Increased involvement of the youth; Mary is currently working with the park and rec. committee to form a Youth Corp to foster community projects for our young adults to become more involved. · Mary would like to continue to work toward completion of the rest of our long term goals; downtown redevelopment, trail connections and increased education on storm water runoff to clean up the lakes and keep them clean. Keeping the city finances in check as confirmed by the State of Minnesota Audit in 2009. We worked hard to obtain our AA bond rating with Standard and Poor’s through sound financial management.
