In some cases the commission might no longer <br />exist but a new one could be appointed by the district court. <br />It also possible that a statutory city might have a charter commission whose mission is to draft a <br />home rule charter that will be voted up by the city's citizens. <br />I don't think a charter commission is a special purpose political subdivision. <br />I think a charter commission is just like any other commission or city board, e.g., human rights <br />commission, park and rec commission. <br />Accordingly, under the coverage document, we cover any "member of a city board, commission, or <br />committee which is not excluded by the definition of city." <br />The definition of "city" does not exclude a charter commission. <br />Accordingly, it is my opinion that members of the city charter commission would be covered under <br />the city's coverage. <br />Christopher Smith 1 Risk Management Attorney <br />Tel: (651) 281-1269 1 Fax: (651) 281-1296 <br />csmithPlmc.org 1 www.lmc.org <br />League of Minnesota Cities <br />145 University Ave. West 1 St. Paul, MN 55103 <br />Connecting & Innovating Since 1913 <br />Stay connected with the League of Minnesota Cities: <br />Web Facebook - Twitter ° Blox <br />Think Green: Keep it on the screen! <br />Packet Page 21 of 25 <br />
