<br />Item No: 9D <br />Meeting Date: May 10, 2004 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Clerk/Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 736, an <br />Ordinance Amending Mounds View City Charter <br />Section 4.02, “Filing for Office” <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The introduction and first reading of Ordinance 736 occurred during the City Council <br />meeting on April 26, 2004. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The intent of the Charter Commission with this resolution is to clarify language in the charter <br />relating to the period in which individuals may file for office. While the amendment does not <br />change the period as currently identified, it does articulate that Minnesota Statutes shall <br />prevail if the filing period should however change in the future. <br /> <br />Staff and the Mounds View City Attorney have reviewed this amendment and feel the <br />changes are preferable over the current language and support the adoption of the ordinance. <br />Consistent with state law, the ordinance would go into effect 90 days after unanimously <br />being adopted by the City Council. The ordinance requires a public hearing, which has been <br />scheduled for May 10, 2004 at 7:20 pm. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Open the public hearing and consider the second reading and adoption of Ordinance <br />736. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Kurt Ulrich, City Clerk/Administrator <br />763-717-4001 <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
