Mounds View City Council July 23, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />Administrator Ulrich explained that the City Attorney feels that the Chapter 12 amendment • <br />should be published for public hearing ,as it was not originally published. <br />Council Member Mueller noted that the Charter states that the Clerk Administrator determines <br />sufficiency of a petition. And, she is a little bit concerned with not seeing a definition of a <br />frivolous petition, because that allows the Council to throw a petition out without having true <br />cause to determine it frivolous. <br />Mr. Thomas, Chair of the Charter Commission, addressed the Council and explained the purpose <br />behind how the document was drafted. <br />City Attorney Riggs suggested defining the criteria used to determine that a petition is frivolous. <br />Mr. Thomas commented that the changes to Chapter 12 were necessary due to changes to <br />Chapters 3 and 5 for consistency. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller. To Approve Ordinance 790, an Ordinance Amending <br />Chapters 3 and 5 of the Mounds View City Charter. <br />Council Member Stigney said that this addresses his major issue with frivolous petitions and, <br />there are several other things, but none of them serious enough to force this to a referendum. <br />ROLL CALL: Marty/Stigney/Flaherty/Hu11/Mueller • <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />B.
