City Prosecutor's Bill to City of Roseville <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn brought to the Council's attention the <br />City Prosecutor's bill to the City of Roseville on this issue; <br />expressing his concern that Mr. Meslow's of over $5,000 <br />for attempted prosecution of this case was misappropriated <br />by Mr. Meslow for using media contacts for his personal <br />political campaigning for Minnesota State Representative; <br />and recommended that the City Attorney be directed to <br />contact the State of Minnesota for a review of these ethics. <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn expressed his personal disapproval of a <br />political candidate billing a municipality for holding <br />interviews with the media and using that time to promote <br />their political campaign. <br />City Attorney Anderson noted that, when an attorney <br />represents a municipality, it was not infrequent for the <br />media to make contact regarding cases of interest and was <br />an industry-wide billing standard. <br />
