Mounds View City Council. Page 7 <br />Regular Meeting February 13, 1995 <br />Councilmember Trude remarked that she was very impressed with <br />some of the other applicants' qualifications. She cited one <br />applicant who had previous experience working as liaison for <br />three different police departments. <br />Linke concurred that other applicants were well qualified, but <br />his nomination was based on Mr. Longs years of service to the <br />City. <br />• <br />VOTE: 4 ayes 1 nay (Trude) Motion Carried <br />F. _Consideration to Repeal Resolution No. 4663 and to Direct City <br />Administrator to File the Charter Amendment with the Secretary <br />of State and County Recorder <br />Councilmember Hankner explained that in the November 1994 <br />election, the voters of Mounds View voted in favor of term <br />limits. The City Council has been awaiting a court decision <br />regarding the pending case of Minneapolis term limits, but <br />since there is no indication of a decision being made in the <br />near future, Hankner felt it would be in the best interest of <br />the City Council to repeal Resolution No. 4663. This action <br />would direct the City Administrator to file the Charter <br />Amendment with the Secretary of State and County Recorder. <br />Hankner noted that the Charter Commission which was in favor <br />of imposing term limits, is made up of new members as well as <br />members who had served the limit of two consecutive terms, <br />taken a period of time off, and were now serving on the <br />Charter Commission again. <br />MOTIONf SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Repeal Resolution No. 4663 <br />and to Direct City Administrator to File the Charter Amendment <br />with the Secretary of State and County Recorder <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />Councilmember Blanchard clarified that the Council was <br />following the advice of the .City Attorney by Adopting <br />Resolution No. 4663, with the idea that a court decision on <br />the Minneapolis lawsuit was going to be handed down within a <br />few months. <br />• <br />Councilmember Trude expressed concern that the Council had <br />inadvertently created irritation among people by not filing <br />the Charter Amendment. It was the Council's intent to wait <br />for a court ruling on the matter, but that ruling has not been <br />handed down as quickly as expected. <br />
