> 5) We understood you to say that Ramsey County Elections has been <br />> directed and trained by Secretary of State on how to validate <br />> petitions for elections. Is that correct? Did that training include <br />> any training on processing petition under MN Statute 410.12? <br />> 6) Has your office ever processed a petition under 410.12 Subd. 7 in <br />> the past? <br />> 7) Had your office known that this petition type was covered under <br />> Statute 410.12, would your office have proceeded differently? <br />> 8) On Friday you mentioned that you really like to talk to <br />> petitioners before petitions are started. How does that usually <br />> work? Who contacts who? Was you office aware that a citizen <br />> petition was in the works before it was submitted for evaluation? If <br />> so, do you know when were you informed? <br />> 9) You stated to us that the City was not required to follow the <br />> Ramsey County recommendation. Is the Ramsey County letter that <br />> accompanied that notification of insufficiency available to us at <br />> this time? We have submitted a Data Practices request to Ramsey <br />> County Elections, which we expect to contain that letter, but that <br />> request might take quite a while to receive. We wondered if that <br />> letter could be obtained right away since our city has given us a <br />> deadline of 2/14/2022 to respond to the notice of insufficiency. <br />> 10) In the second conversation with Brian, you suggested that we <br />> contact the Mounds View City Attorney and ask that the petition be <br />> re -submitted. We plan to do just that and are copying him on the <br />> letter we are currently drafting. <br />> We want to be sure we do not mis-interpret anything in our Friday <br />> conversation, so feel it best to confirm our understanding of those <br />> conversations. We will be referencing our conversations in the letter <br />> we are preparing, and believe accuracy is extremely important. We <br />> will definitely copy you via email on the letter when it is delivered <br />> to the City. <br />> We hope to finish up the letter today or tomorrow, so would <br />> appreciate a speedy reply to our questions, if at all possible. <br />> Thank you again for your help on this. You are a pleasure to work <br />> with, and so very helpful. <br />> Sincerely, <br />> Valerie and Brian Amundsen, Mounds View Resident <br />> 3048 Woodale Drive, Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />> 763-786-5699 <br />> God bless your Day! <br />5 <br />
