MARK A. KARNEY ATTORNEY AT LAW SUITE 620 ROSEVILLE PROFESSIONAL CENTER 2233 HAMLINE AVENUE NORTH ROSEVILLE, MINNESOTA 55113 January 30, 1989 TELEPHONE(612)636-9654 RICHARD MEYERS OF COUNSEL The Honorable J. Jerome Plunket Chief Judge Ramsey County District Court 15 West Kellogg Boulevard St. Paul, MN 55102 RE: City of Mounds View Charter Commission OUR FILE NO. 2830 Dear Juge Plunket: I am the City Attorney for the City of Mounds View. Recently we received a letter from Susan Alliegro dated January 19, 1989, a`tcopy of which is enclosed. The letter is written to a Mr. Stanley Haugen in Mounds View who applied for a vacancy on the Mounds View Charter Commission. The letter indicates that Ms. Alliegro needs a resume outlining Mr. Haugen' s experience and qualifications for this position. The City Council received a copy of this letter from Mr. Haugen. They questioned whether a resume would be necessary since it appears that any member qualified to vote who is a resident of the City of Mounds View would also qualify as a member of the Charter Commission. The City Council has directed me to write to you and indicate they feel any resident of the City who is eligible to vote can serve on the Charter Commission without further qualifications. In addition, the Council also asked me to review the Charter Commission Statute under Minnesota Law Chapter 410 before writing this letter. Under the terms of that Statute Section 410 . 05, Subd. 2 , a Commission member is to be appointed by the Chief Judge for any expired term. The Chief Judge has thirty days to appoint a new Commission member after which time the City shall appoint any new members. The City has decided because there has been a delay of more than thirty days to appoint a member to fill the vacancy which currently exists on the Mounds View Charter Commission.
