Stan Peskar; GeneralXounsel May 20, 1979 <br /> League of Minnesota Cities <br /> 300 Hanover Bldg. 480 Cedar St. <br /> St. Paul, Minnesota 55101. <br /> Ret Request by Gilbert City Council for amendment to City Charter. <br /> Dear Stant • <br /> A conflict with our City Charter and the State Statutes seems to have <br /> surfaced during the May 1 meeting of the City Council; (Newspaper report of <br /> the meeting enclosed). <br /> The conflict seems to be with Section 7.11 of the Charter and Minn. <br /> Statutes Chapter. 475.58; (Resolution 1n-79 Gilbert City Council enclosed). <br /> Stan, the intent of the Charter Commissionwas to provide for a referendu.' <br /> on major financial questions, however, during our meeting with you on Sept. <br /> 9, 1977 and your correspondence to us on September 14, 1977, (Page 8 enclosed), <br /> you indicated that we may be excessively restrictive in Section 7.11, it <br /> appears that you may have been right. <br /> Would the language in Section 7.10 - City indebtedness, Charter Model <br /> 100 a.5, 1977 edition, be acceptable for insertion in Section 7.11 of our Charter? <br /> Assuming that the City Council accepts the Charter Commission amendment, if <br /> one is indeed submitted, could the Charter then be amended by ordinance without <br /> a referendum? <br /> We would appreciate your opinion and comments relative to the amendment request.. <br /> Sincprely, <br /> Ben C. Verbick <br /> Chairman, Charter Cornission <br /> Box 503 <br /> Encl. - 3 Gilbert, Minnesota 55741 <br />
