S Wabasha--adopted a charter amendment changing term from two to four years (December 1987 Minnesota Cities) Oakdale--ordinance changing term length from two to four years • (February 1986 Minnesota Cities) Anoka--amended charter to change elections from odd to even years (this may have resulted in a change of term length) (March 1986 Minnesota Cities) Hastings--adopted a charter amendment to extend length of term from two to four years (September 1986 Minnesota Cities) Spring Lake Park, Karlstad, St. Anthoney all enacted ordinances changing from a two year mayor term to a four year one (October 1986 Minnesota Cities) Brooklyn Park--adopted a charter amendment changing term to four years (October 1986 Minnesota Cities) Woodbury, Arden Hills, arid St. Paul Park all enacted ordinances changing from a two year mayor term to a four year one (December 1986 Minnesota Cities) In the last year or so, there was also some concern in the city of Plymouth regarding a change in the length of the elected officials terms as a result of changing from an odd to even (or perhaps it was even to odd) election year. As a result, an amendment was made to MS 205. 07, subd. 3 that might be of interest to you. It can be found in Chapter 227, sec. 20 of the 77th Legislature (I have included a copy) . Last, I have enclosed some sample ordinances from file 180K (from the cities of Woodbury, Shafer, Edina, and Eden Prairie) that change the length of the mayor's term. • I hope that . these materials will prove helpful. You might also try contacting the Secretary of State Elections Office for a more comprehensive list of cities that have changed the length of terms.
