That is all that is 14 referred to in the Charter,however he would assume that it would provide for consideration discretion as to 15 how to conduct the election. 16 17 Mr. Whiting provided a copy of the flyer that was put together by the City of Mounds View and distributed to 18 the residents. Anything other than the one he identified was put together by someone other than city officials.

Therefore,this would not be an option for the Council. 48
