Mounds View City Council July 23, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 13 <br /> <br />are items that are of special importance and it became apparent that they should be discussed at a <br />joint meeting of the City Council and Charter Commission. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre stated he is in agreement to have a joint meeting, however his concern was it <br />may not be necessary to invite the Council to this meeting. The Council is always invited to the <br />Charter Commission’s meetings and this particular meeting could be a fairly lengthy <br />presentation. Mayor Sonterre continued that if the joint meeting was held after the Charter <br />Commission meeting, there may not be sufficient time nor the necessary environment for <br />discussion. He suggested an invitation be issued and a separate time set up for discussion. <br />Charter Commission Chair Thomas stated he did discuss that possibility with the Commission, <br />though the feeling was that this was an important issue and it would be best to present it to the <br />public as a joint meeting with the City Council and Charter Commission. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre stated he appreciated the invitation, though thought it could be beneficial to <br />discuss items in addition to the human rights issue at another time.
