. whether it be 100% or something less, until the time of the assessment hearing. Under the new law, and it was also enacted last legislative session, people, in order to have their objec- tions considered, must either appear in person at the Council meeting, as some of them are here tonignt, or they must file a written petition, or written statement that would be on record.

MAYOR CRICHTON: I would like at this time to open the meeting to comments or questions from the audience. .Prior to doing that I would like to ask the Clerk if there are any written questions, objections or comments. . CHARLOTTE McNIESH: Yes, we received one this evening. "Dear Mayor and Council: This letter constitutes the notice required by M.S.A. section 429.061,Subd. 1, that R. L.
