Consider Resolution No. 21-09, Amending the 2021 Charter
Commission Budget
3/5
BACKGROUND
Minnesota Statutes § 410.06 provides that cities shall pay for reasonable and necessary charter
commission expenses.
The 2021 City of Lino Lakes adopted budget includes line items of $1,500 for charter
commission direct expenses and $1,000 for expenses related to minute taking for commissions
meetings.
Effective August 1, 2020, Minnesota Statutes § 410.06 was amended to increase the limit on
annual charter commission expenses required to be reimbursed by the city. Under the new law,
the charter commission reimbursable expense limit is a sliding schedule calculated as .07% of
the city's current certified general property tax levy with a minimum of $1,500 and a maximum
of $20,000. Prior to this law change the limit was set at $1,500.
Under the new law and based on a 2021 General Operating Levy of $9,232,367, the amount of
charter commission expenses that would be required to be reimbursed by the city is $6,462.00.
The Lino Lakes Charter Commission is requesting council consideration of a budget
amendment to allocate $4,962.00 of contingency funds towards charter commission direct
expenditures. It should be noted that any funds allocated and not expended would but reflected
in the city's General Fund fund balance at year-end.
