CITY OF SAINT PAUL <br />Kelly, Mayor <br />June 11, 2003 <br />Honorable Thomas Mott <br />Chief Judge of Ramsey District Court <br />Ramsey County Courthouse <br />50 W. Kellogg Blvd. <br />St. Paul, MN 55102 <br />Johnathan Thomas <br />Chairman, Charter Commission <br />City of Moundsview <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Moundsview, MN 55112-1499 <br />Honorable Chief Judge and Mr. Thomas: <br />OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY <br />Manuel J. Cervantes. City Attorney <br />Criminal Division <br />500 City Hall Telephone: 651266-8740 <br />15 West Kellogg Blvd. Facsimile: 651298-5532 <br />Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />I am writing at this time with great regret that I am no longer able to serve as a member the <br />Moundsview Charter Commission. Thus, this letter serves as my resignation from membership of <br />this excellent position which I was appointed to by former Chief Judge Cohen in late 1999. <br />I have recently sold my home in Moundsview and will soon be moving to a Minneapolis residence <br />which I recently purchased. I believe it to be a conflict to be serving upon a commission for which <br />I am no longer a resident of the applicable county. I will remember my time on the commission as <br />a time of tremendous growth and development of that commission. When I was appointed, the <br />commission was fractured and in serious conflict with the Mayor and city council. Through that <br />process, a new leader of the commission (Mr. Thomas), was selected and has done an excellent job <br />of unifying the interests of the elected city posts with that of Moundsview charter with the current <br />members of the commission. <br />In closing, I thank the court and the city of Moundsview for giving me the opportunity to serve its <br />citizens for the past few years. If I regain residency in Ramsey County in the future, it would be an <br />honor to serve in that post again. As always, I remain available for any legal questions the members <br />of the commission may have in the future. <br />Daniel <br />AA -ADA -EEO Employer <br />
