The city clerk is hereby instructed to contact, exactly as he would do if so instructed by a resolution of the Mayor or City Council, in writing, within 30 days after adoption of this ordinance, all state legislators and members of the United States Congress who have any constituents within the city limits and instruct them that it is the resolute desire of the citizens of the city of Mounds View that term limits be enacted by the legislature of Minnesota and the United States Congress, and that the maximum life-time tenure in office be no more than six years (three terms) in the United States House or Representatives, no more than twelve years (two terms) in the United States Senate, and no more than ten total years in either the Minnesota State Senate or State House. The people of the city of Mounds View hereby instruct all state and federal legislators, representing any part of this city, to individually do their utmost to promote and pass binding legisla- tion or a constitutional amendment enacting the term limits specified in this section. The instruction and resolution shall remain in effect and be repeated annually, for as many years as are required to effect these changes, and shall so state on its face. Section 3. SEVERABILITY. If any part of this petition shall be declared unntitutional by a court, all others shall remain in full force and effect. .3 la JUL 1994 ReCe1Ved Aro.. of n w
