<br />None.
<br />8.New Business
<br />A. Resolution 2022-06. Secretary B. Amundsen, explained this item was presented because Joseph Sathe,
<br />Kennedy and Graven, the City Attorney, sent a Memorandum, dated 11/15/2022 and presented to all
<br />members this evening in printed form, advising the Commission that due to a Council member absence last
<br />night the timeline for action by the Council on the Commission Resolutions 2022-03, 2022-04, and 2022-05
<br />for Chapter 4, Nominations and Elections, would expire before the Council can act on the resolutions.
<br />Council action to address the amendments would require the Commission to reaffirm its recommendation to
<br />the Council to adopt the amendments. The City Attorney included Resolution 2022-06, with language
<br />appropriate to accomplish that action by the Commission. The Chair asked for discussion and offered time
<br />for all members to read the resolution. Motion, by G. Quick, and seconded, by M. Meehan, to adopt
<br />Resolution 2022-06 Resolution Recommending Amendment of the Mounds View Charter by
<br />Ordinance according to Exhibit A, Commission resolutions 2022-03, 2022-04, and 2022-05, and
<br />waived any further reading. Discussion requested. Motion Adopted.
