First Reading Ordinance 943, Updating Title 100 of the City Code. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund requested the Council introduce Ordinance 943 which would update <br />Title 100 of the City Code. He reported Kennedy & Graven was assisting him with this City <br />Code update. He reviewed a change in the language with the Council and recommended the <br />Ordinance be introduced. <br /> <br />Brian Amundsen, 3048 Woodale Drive, encouraged the Council to delay action on this item. He <br />stated there were a number of matters that were connected to the Charter and he noted election <br />law was being reviewed by the Charter Commission. He believed it would be better to have <br />these matters resolved prior to updating Title 100. He expressed concern with the way staff and <br />the Council was deferring to State Statute and was wiping out the need for the City Charter. He <br />reported Mounds View was a unique community and he encouraged the Council to not allow <br />Mounds View to become homogenized by State Statute. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron thanked Mr. Amundsen for voicing his concerns and discussed how <br />at times State Statute preempts City Code. He stated he believed it was very important for <br />Mounds View to remain a Charter City. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller thanked Mr. Amundsen for sharing his concerns with the Council. City <br />Administrator Zikmund commented further on the proposed changes within Title 100 and noted <br />these changes would be brought to the Charter Commission. He reported he was not proposing <br />to codify the changes at this time, but rather recommended this not be completed until later this <br />fall. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller suggested under Section 107.03 a statement be added to note Mounds View was a <br />home rule Charter City. City Administrator Zikmund reported he would discuss this suggestion <br />with the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Mr. Amundsen stated he had concerns with the use of shall and may throughout the document. <br />Mayor Mueller encouraged Mr. Amundsen to speak with the City Administrator regarding these <br />concerns.
