She cited one <br /> 3 applicant who had previous experience working as liaison for <br /> 4 three different police departments. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Linke concurred that other applicants were well qualified, but <br /> 7 his nomination was based on Mr. Long's years of service to the <br /> 8 City. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 VOTE: 4 ayes 1__nay_/Trude_y_____ MotionCar-ri-ed <br /> 11 <br /> 12 F. Consideration to Repeal Resolution No. 4663 and to Direct City <br /> 13 Administrator to File the Charter Amendment with the Secretary <br /> 14 of State and County Recorder <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Councilmember Hankner explained that in. the November 1994 <br /> 17 election, the voters of Mounds View voted in favor of term <br /> 18 limits. The City Council has beenawaiting a court decision <br /> 19 regarding the pending case of Minneapolis term limits, but <br /> 20 since there is no indication of a decision being made in the <br /> 21 near future, Hankner felt it would be in the best interest of <br /> 22 the City Council to repeal Resolution No. 4663 . This action <br /> 23 would direct the City Administrator to file the Charter <br /> 24 Amendment with the Secretary of State and County Recorder. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Hankner noted that the Charter Commission which was in favor <br /> 27 of imposing term limits, is made up of new members as well as <br /> 28 members who had served the limit of two consecutive terms, <br /> 29 taken a period of time off, and were now serving on the <br /> 30 Charter Commission again. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Repeal Resolution No. 4663 <br /> 33 and to Direct City Administrator to File the Charter Amendment <br /> 34 with the Secretary of State and County Recorder <br /> 35 <br /> 36 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Councilmember Blanchard clarified that the Council was <br /> 39 following the advice of the City Attorney by Adopting <br /> 40 Resolution No. 4663, with the idea that a court decision on <br /> 41 the Minneapolis lawsuit was going to be handed downwithin a <br /> 42 few months. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Councilmember Trude expressed concern that the Council had <br /> 45 inadvertently created irritation among people by not filing <br /> 46 the Charter Amendment. It was the Council's intent to wait <br /> 47 for a court ruling on the matter, but that ruling has not been <br /> 48 handed down as quickly as expected. <br /> 49 <br />
