Minn. Const. art. X1I, § 5. Minn. Stat. § 410.30. Concerning the form of government of a home rule charter city see Minn. Stat. § 410.16 and Handbook Chapter 1. See League research memo A Model Charter for Minnesota Cities (100a.5) Chpt 1, sec. 1.02; and National Civic League's Model City Charter, Eighth Edition (2003) Art. 1, sec. 1.01. Park v. City of Duluth, 134 Minn. 296, 159 N.W. 627 (1916); State v. City of Duluth, 134 Minn. 355, 159 N.W. 792 (1916); City of Duluth v. Cerveny, 218 Minn. 551, 16 N.W.2d 779 (1944). 2. New or revised charter Any city having a home rule charter may adopt a new or revised charter in the same manner as an original charter. If a new or completely revised charter is to go to the voters, the preparation of the ballot and other procedures are substantially the same as for the original charter. G. Abandoning a home rule charter Any home rule city may abandon its charter and become a statutory city. Since the state was formed, only three cities—Jordan, Isanti, and Sauk Centre, all since 1989—have abandoned their charter form of government. These three cities are all now Plan A statutory cities. A city may abandon its charter by presenting a proposal, adopting it, and having it become effective in the same manner as a charter amendment. Accordingly, abandonment would require the approval of 51 percent of those voting on the question. The proposal must include a schedule containing necessary provisions for transition to the statutory city form of government in order to place the city on a regular election schedule as soon as practicable. The proposal may provide for continuation of specified provisions of the home rule charter for an interim period, and must specify the plan under which the city will operate as a statutory city. III. General powers of a home rule charter city A city charter should deal only with the fundamentals of the governmental organization of the city, leaving the council free to exercise a broad grant of authority by ordinance. Modern charters contain provisions that claim for the city all powers that the home rule provision of the Constitution permits a city to assume. Older charters contain a long list of specific grants giving various powers to the city. The strong statements of intent found in League and National Civic League model charters should be adequate to ensure that the omnibus grant gives the city all municipal power it might receive through more specific grants. Minnesota Supreme Court decisions generally have given a liberal construction to all -powers grants in city charters. In addition to powers granted by the charter, various state statutes may give additional powers to a city and regulate certain activities. For example, authority for planning, police civil service commissions, and municipal forest maintenance is included in laws dealing specifically with these subjects.
