MOUN-DS VIEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No 8G <br />Meeting Date: September 9, 2019 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9158 Charter Commission Appointments <br />Introduction: <br />The Charter Commission was established in 1980 after two years of meetings by <br />concerned citizens that crafted and drafted a City Charter that was presented and <br />approved by the majority of voters. In its original form, the Charter had 15 members but <br />was subsequently amended down to 9. Due to the resignation of Marissa Reyes -Johnson <br />shortly after conclusion of the May 21, 2019 meeting there is a vacancy. <br />Discussion: <br />As council is aware, finding residents to serve has been challenging. Additionally, as you <br />are aware the 10th Judicial District Court advertises for and appoints Charter Commission <br />members. In speaking with the Court Administrator Luke Gosselin, he has informed me <br />that as of August 26, 2019, Robert (Bob) King is the only resident to have filed for service. <br />On September 4, 2019 Laura Stevens, Probate Registrar for the Ramsey County Probate <br />Court notified staff that additional applicants were received from Barbara Haake, Beverly <br />Adair, and Douglas Schmidt. <br />Recommendation: <br />Adopt Resolution No. 9158 requesting the court to appoint to the Charter <br />Commission. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Brian Beeman <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />Attachment(s): <br />1) Resolution No. 9158 Approving Appointment to Charter Commission <br />2) Candidate Applications <br />
