Mounds View Charter Commission May 21, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br />Amundsen stated he appreciated this opinion; however, this was a Commission discussion. <br />Warren asked if he wanted to bring a Resolution forward would he pass this along to the <br />secretary. <br />Amundsen explained this could be done. <br />City Attorney Riggs reported this information should be forwarded to the Charter <br />Commission Chair. <br />Warren expressed frustration with the fact Amundsen was bringing a problem before the <br />Commission that was not a problem. <br />Amundsen indicated a problem was generated when he was not given access to the <br />TimeSaver minutes until he received the document from the chair. He was simply told the <br />process had been changed. <br />Warren encouraged the chair, secretary and staff to work through this issue. <br />Amundsen stated this issue had not been worked out and that was why he was requesting <br />support from the Commission on the process that should be followed. <br />City Attorney Riggs explained he had spoken to Amundsen numerous times over the past <br />15 to 17 years. He was of the opinion Amundsen was searching for a problem that did not <br />exist. He indicated this issue could be worked out easily by dividing out the roles. He <br />reported the secretary had record keeping tasks and was responsible for sending reports <br />onto the chief judge per the chair’s direction. He reported the goals of the Charter <br />Commission were approved by the entire Commission, same as the minutes. <br />Thomas noted he was the oldest and longest serving member on the Commission. He <br />explained he agreed with the City Attorney on this matter in that there was not a problem, <br />but rather there was a miscommunication with the TimeSaver minutes. He indicated <br />further clarification should have been made regarding what was meant by a “trial”. He <br />believed the group head enough clarification at this time and encouraged everyone to <br />move forward. <br />Reyes-Johnson asked, according to the bylaws, who was to prepare the agenda. City <br />Attorney Riggs reported the bylaws strictly state the chair was to prepare the agenda. <br />Reyes-Johnson expressed concern with the fact Amundsen did not send out her agenda for <br />the March meeting, but rather sent out his own agenda. <br />Amundsen stated he sent out the agenda in a form that was typically followed by the <br />Commission, with all of the chair’s items included. He concluded that all of his actions <br />and duties will remain the same until the Commission works out what to do with <br />TimeSaver. He interprets “prepare the records of the Commission” to mean any <br />documents the Commission has been working with, which has been the case since 2002. <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 <br />38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 <br />42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 <br />46 <br />47
