The Forest Lake City Council is now scheduled to hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 regarding the possibility of declaring a vacancy on the council. The news comes after additional allegations earlier this week that Forest Lake Councilman Michael Freer now lives in Maple Grove, not Forest Lake. Those who believe Freer is in violation of residency rules point to the fact that the address on his Forest Lake driver’s license is that of an empty, currently uninhabitable home, and to local media reports that appear to show Freer’s family living in a Maple Grove home. Freer’s landlord, former Mayor Stev Stegner, has said that Freer’s current residence is only temporary and that the councilman will be moving into the Forest Lake house following a remodel.
