Mounds View City Council September 11, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br /> <br />City Attorney Long presented Resolution 5478 to the Council which will submit the proposed <br />amendments to the Mounds View Charter at the November 7, 2000, General Election and fix the <br />form of the ballot for such proposed amendments. <br /> <br />City Attorney Long explained this Resolution is in reference to Ordinance No. 661which is a <br />proposal to amend Chapter 6 of the Mounds View City Charter relating to a City Manager form <br />of government and Ordinance No. 662 proposing to amend Chapter 2 of the Mounds View <br />Charter changing the term of Mayor from two (2) years to four (4). He also explained that this <br />resolution will set the form of the ballot. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason to Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5478, a <br />Resolution Submitting the Proposed Amendments to the Mounds View Charter at the November <br />7, 2000, General Election and Fixing the Form of the Ballot for such Proposed Amendments. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he is opposed to sending this to the voters as he feels the <br />Ordinances need more work and he would prefer that the Charter Commission research and <br />review the proposed changes to the Charter. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin abstained from commenting as he was not present for the discussion at the <br />previous Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty explained if an extension is granted then the issue will not be on the <br />ballot for the November General Election and he feels that this is the perfect time to have this <br />issue on the ballot because voter turnout will be higher because it is a presidential election year. <br />He also said if an extension were granted to the Charter Commission to review the proposed <br />amendments it would not make the ballot and then there would have to be a special election <br />which would cost the tax payers extra money. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had not asked for a special election but he feels that more <br />time should be spent on the charter amendments before sending it to the voters. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin asked that the discussion be kept to the question of whether or not the language <br />of the resolution before the Council is acceptable to the Council. He then asked for further <br />discussion and seeing none called for the vote. <br /> <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick was not present for the vote. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin indicated one of the Planning Commission members has resigned and he will be <br />accepting applications to fill the seat for the next two weeks with the deadline set for Monday, <br />September 25, 2000 at 12:00 noon. He explained this should give ample time to add to the <br />agenda for September 25, 2000 and to bring the new member up to speed on current projects. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed noted the closing date for candidate filing for local <br />offices was Tuesday, September 12, 2000 at 5:00 p.m. and indicated that the official clock would <br />be the clock on the south wall and no applications will be accepted after 5:00 p.m.
