The meeting would be located at the Fire Department. Please review your <br />schedules to see which Wednesdays would work for the City Council. <br /> <br /> <br />Changing City Council Start Time <br /> <br />In addition, Staff was directed by City Council on whether to change the Work Session and City Council <br />Meeting times to an earlier time. There is nothing that Staff research that would prohibit changing the <br />Work Session start times. However, for City Council to change the time for City Council Meetings it <br />must be passed by an Ordinance. According to §3.02 of the City Charter: <br /> <br />The Council shall meet regularly at least twice each month at such times and <br />places as the City Council may designate by ordinance. The Mayor or any two <br />members of the Council may call special meetings of the Council upon at least twenty- <br />four notice to each member, and such reasonable public notice as may be prescribed by <br />Council rule in compliance with the laws of Minnesota. The twenty-four notice shall not <br />be required in an emergency. To the extent provided by law, all meetings of the Council <br />and its committees shall be public, and any citizen shall have access to the minutes and <br />records of the Council at all reasonable times. During any of its public meetings, the <br />Council shall not prohibit, but may place reasonable restrictions upon citizen’s comments <br />and questions. <br /> <br />Please direct Staff how you would like to proceed in changing the time of the City Council Meetings. <br />Be advise that there is an EDA Meeting at 630pm, and any move to change the time of the City Council <br />Meeting will effect the EDA Meeting start time. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />_______________________ <br />Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator
