SUMMARY of CHARTER <br />FOR <br />LINO LAKES <br />The Charter was drafted by a commission organized under a procedure <br />provided by Minnesota statute 410. The Lino Lakes Home -Rule Charter <br />Commission was formally created by a court order signed by Chief Judge <br />James T. Knutson as a result of a petition to the court. This charter <br />closely followed a model charter provided by the League of Minnesota <br />Cities with ideas and thoughts tailored to the unique needs of the <br />citizens of our community, Lino Lakes. A draft was submitted to the <br />League of Minnesota Cities and the Lino Lakes City Council for comments. <br />A summary of the charters twelve chapters follows. <br />Chapter 1: This chapter designates the boundaries and powers of the City <br />as allowed under Minnesota law. It is the same boundaries as exists in <br />Lino today. <br />Chapter 2: This chapter on the form of government is the same as Lino <br />Lakes has today. <br />Chapter 3: This chapter details the general Council procedure in order for <br />it to operate in an effective manner. <br />Chapter 4: Covers nominations and elections for council office. The major <br />change from current practice is that a vacancy in the City Council would <br />be filled by a special election rather than appointment by the City <br />Council if the term of the vacant office has more than one year to run. <br />Chapter 5: This chapter contains the new rights of Initiative, Referendum <br />and Recall that the voters will have under the new charter. Initiative <br />is the right of citizens to petition for new ordinances. Referendum is <br />the right to petition for a vote on an ordinance passed by the City <br />Council to either support or suspend the ordinance. Recall is the right <br />to petition for recall of an elected official for misconduct in office. <br />CHAPTER 6: Covers the administration of the city. The Council has the <br />overall responsibility with the City Administrator .appointed to act for <br />the Council in the day-to-day activities. This is the current method of <br />operation in the city. <br />CHAPTER 7: This important part of the charter calls for a long term (five <br />year) financial plan for the city. The League of Minnesota Cities <br />suggests a plan of this type. This plan will help the council and <br />concerned residents formulate a desireable direction of growth for the <br />city. The plan will be published annually. <br />
