Mounds View City Council January 2, 2001 <br />Special Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND. Quick/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5506 as <br />Amended to Specify the Mounds View Focus as the Official Newspaper and the St. Paul Pioneer <br />Press as the Secondary Newspaper, Council Member Stigney as Acting Mayor, and Western <br />Bank as the City’s Official Depository. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted The Bulletin has been providing increasingly better coverage and <br />seems to be narrowing the gap in coverage. The City has been trying to get the cable schedule <br />published in the Mounds View Focus but has not been able to do so. The Bulletin puts in the <br />weekly meetings and schedule and Council Member Marty would like to nudge the Mounds View <br />Focus to publish the cable schedule. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre noted the Mounds View Focus has lost their primary reporter and they are <br />struggling to provide coverage. <br /> <br />Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />2. Resolution 5507 Appointing City Council Members and Clerk <br />Administrator as Representatives for City Commissions and other <br />Organizations. <br /> <br />This item was removed from the agenda. <br /> <br />3. Resolution 5508 Setting Meeting Dates for City Council <br />Meetings and Work Session for 2001. <br /> <br />Staff recommended Council reschedule the Council meetings scheduled for Memorial Day and <br />Labor Day for the Tuesday following the holiday and to cancel the meeting that falls on <br />Christmas Eve. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND. Quick/Stigney. To Reschedule the Council Meetings Scheduled for <br />Memorial Day and Labor Day for the Tuesday Following the Holiday and to Cancel the Meeting <br />that Falls on Christmas Eve. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated that the Christmas Eve meeting is usually left on the schedule <br />because the City Charter requires that there be two City Council meetings a month and in the past <br />the City has been able to accommodate this by having the truth-in-taxation hearing during the <br />month of December. It would seem to him that it would be more appropriate to leave it on the <br />calendar as he doesn’t want to go against the Charter. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she had spoken to the City Attorney concerning this issue <br />and was advised that the City Charter does not specify whether the two meetings per month are <br />Work Sessions or Council Meetings and that by having a Workshop and Council Meeting during <br />the month of December the requirements of the Charter will be met. <br />
