Julie Bartell <br />To: HawkLawl @aol.com <br />Cc: Gordon Heitke <br />Subject: IMPORTANT - Charter Amendment <br />Importance: High <br />Attachments: Final Report scanned.pdf; Chapter 8, version 2.doc <br />At their work session on July 2, the city council received the final report of the Citizen's Task Force to Review Charter <br />Provisions Pertaining to Local Improvements (attached). Included in that report is a recommendation to amend Chapter 8 <br />of the Lino Lakes City Charter. The Council requested that the proposed amendment be put into ordinance form and <br />added to the council meeting agenda for July 9. <br />I have prepared the attached amendment for your review. There are outstanding questions, however, on which we also <br />need your advice. <br />1) The proposed new language for Chapter 8 (page 10 of the report) amounts to two sections (8.01 and 8.02) however it <br />seems to replace all of Chapter 8 (currently made up of 8.01 through 8.07). Considering the intent, would it be appropriate <br />to keep any of the current Chapter 8 language, such as Section 8.07? For your information, the proposed language in the <br />report was prepared with assistance from Steve Bubul of Kennedy & Graven. <br />2) You have previously advised that this ordinance could receive it's first reading before the council, be referred to the <br />charter commission for their 60 day review and receive its second reading for amendment and passage after it's returned <br />from the charter commission. A council member questioned this process at the work session so you may need to <br />respond on the matter on Monday at the council meeting. <br />3) Does this amendment require a public hearing? If so, could it be held with first or second reading? Obviously it would <br />be too late to do a hearing for Monday. <br />I've got information going out tomorrrow (Fri) on this matter so I need a response quickly. <br />Thanks....... <br />Final Report Chapter 8, version <br />>canned.pdf (5 MB.. 2.doc (40 K... <br />Julie Bartell <br />City Clerk <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />651- 982 -2406 <br />651- 982 -2499 fax <br />julie.bartell@cilino-lakes.mn.us <br />1 <br />
