Commission members expressed appreciation for Mr. Doty's presentation and responses to their questions concerning development, passage and operation of the Charter. V. New Business a) Secretary J. Kavanaugh reminded the committee that Minnesota Statute 410 .5 requires that the Commission file an annual report of the Commission's activities with the Chief Judge of the Ramsey County District Court. Discussion: A question was raised concerning whether the report could be prepared at this time or should be delayed until the end of 1991 . B. Toborg suggested that the report be delayed until the end of the year in the event it was necessary for the Commission to meet again to consider additional business . J. Linke agree, informing the committee that the City Council may be requesting that the Commission meet again. Due to City budget constraints, the Council may request that the Commission review the Charter requirement that the City publish a newsletter six times each year. Reducing the newsletter from six issues to 4 issues each year would save the City approximately $6,000 . The Council may also ask the Commission to review the Charter requirement that City Codes be reviewed every 5 years. Atthis time,_ theCitydoesnothave sufficient funds to complete this type of review. Motion by J. Linke, seconded by R. Toborg that preparation of the annual report be delayed until the end of the year. Passed unanimously. Chairman Burgers directed that Secretary Kavanaugh prepare the report in December when it becomes apparent there will be no additional meetings .
