4111 <br /> This discussion elicited a note from Duane McCarty that prior <br /> to forwarding anything to the Council , we as a Commission must <br /> agree 100% on what we are sending. The alternative would be <br /> the possibility that a dissatisfied member(s) of the <br /> Commission could possibly commence actions against the <br /> disputed change(s) that would render our overall efforts the <br /> past 2 years worthless . <br /> Jerry Linke noted that the sections on primaries (Chapter <br /> 4. 03) and "burden of proof" (Chapter 5 . 05 , Subdiv . 2) would <br /> not likely be acceptable to the Council , and suggested that <br /> those chapters be submitted as amendments . This would keep <br /> from holding up the balance of the Charter , which Jerry felt <br /> would have little problem in the Council . <br /> Further discussion determined that the proposed language (date <br /> unknown , but headed : "PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR INCLUDING PRIMARY <br /> ELECTIONS" ) submitted earlier , and agreed to by the Commission <br /> during the August 31 meeting , would be included as Section <br /> 4 . 01 , Subdiv . 2 . It was further determined that the original <br /> Section 4 . 01 would be re-titled as Subdiv . 1 , and that Section <br /> 4 . 01 would be headed "Elections . " <br /> 411 7 . Section 4 . 02 <br /> Jerry Linke rose the question of setting fees for candidates <br /> wishing to file for office, and submitted proposed language <br /> for revising that chapter . Discussion about continuing to <br /> allow the Council to set the fees was held , as is stated in <br /> the original Charter . <br /> Richard Oman cited page 3, par . 3 of the letter from the <br /> League of Minn . Cities , dated Aug . 19 , 1994 , which states that <br /> M. S . 205 . 13 specifically states that the fees are set by <br /> statute , unless the city Charter establishes fees . Duane <br /> McCarty noted that one interpretation could be that the <br /> Charter allows the Council to set the fee , thus the Charter is <br /> establishing the fees . <br /> 8 . Memos from Barna, Guzy & Steffen re: Chapters 5 & 8 <br /> Copies of memos dated Sept . 23 , 1994 were distributed to <br /> Commission members , for discussion during our next meeting . <br /> I <br />
