MOUNDS VIEW CHARTER COMMISSION MINUTES General Plans & Purposes Committee WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1979 I. Meeting called to order by Chairman, Curt Schmidt, at 7:55 P.M. II. As all members received a copy of the Minutes of the General Plans & Purposes Committee meeting held December 13, 1978, a motion was made by Milan Illig and seconded by Duane McCarty that a reading of the Minutes be waived and accepted as written. Carried unanimously. III. Evaluation of Municipal Government Subcommittee Chairman, Milan Illig, requested deferment of his report. IV. Public Opinion Subcommittee Chairman, Dave Notaro, reported that their Committee felt the work of their Committee should be deferred until a later date, after the drafting of a Charter. It would then be a matter, at that time, to • inform the public on the proposed Charter, and, perhaps, arrange for a Public Meeting. It was felt the best way to inform the public was via their Utility Bill - - that the legal paper, The New Brighton Bulletin, was not the best medium of public education, as only about 30% of the residents in Mounds View subscribed to the paper. V. Present and Alternative Local Government Organization Subcommittee Report given by Neil Loeding in the absence of Chairman, Lowell Nygaard. Oral presentation was given by Neil, as well as a written report dated 1/28/79, which was passed out to all Committee and Commission members. (Copy attached) . After discussion, Neil requested that one revision be made in their Committee Report, i.e. , "Subdivision 2. Other Duties - As Revised.", should read, "Subdivision 2. Other Duties - As Revised (Proposed) ." VI. Chairman, Curt Schmidt, surveyed each member of the General Plans & Purposes Committee to solicit their views and opinion as to whether or not a Charter should be written for the City of Mounds View., • •
