Mounds View City Council July 9, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 5 Council Member Stigney said that he would like the problem of sufficiency addressed but it could be by Staff, the Charter Commission or Council. The other two things were discrepancies between the language and the flow chart and it is important to correct them. Council Member Flaherty expressed his support of the proposed Charter amendment and the recommended language on timelines and sufficiency. He feels that the Charter amendment presented should be approved keeping in mind that a subsequent clarifying amendment maybe in order. City Administrator Ulrich and City Attorney Riggs agreed to work on the language to present to the Charter Commission for consideration. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Continue this Matter to the July 23, 2007 Council Meeting. Council Member Mueller said that the sufficiency information is set up in the Charter to be fair both to the City and the residents and it does not define what the petition is and she thinks that a definition is one thing but anything beyond that is something that should go before the voters. Council Member Stigney indicated that the petitioning procedure and how it is spelled out in the Charter should be corrected. Mayor Marty agreed that Council will take a vote at the next meeting, one way or the other, in order to keep this from being sent back to the Charter over and over again.
