Mounds View City Council September 27, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br />• Mr. McCarty questioned whether the Charter Commission had taken a good look at the <br />Emergency Management Plan for the City. He stated that an emergency could only be declared <br />by the mayor of a municipality. He stated he didn't want the mayor's hands tied because the City <br />Charter has removed his ability to exercise authority. <br />Mr. McCarty stated that if the Charter Commission is so convinced that this Charter needs to be <br />revised, then they should get in their petition and let the residents know what is going on. <br />Mayor Linke stated they would need to vote the motion down in order to send it back to the <br />Charter Commission. <br />Ms. Thomas stated they need to provide guidelines to the Commission on what they would be <br />interested in seeing. <br />Mayor Linke stated the reason he is voting is his direction, and they can ask the Council <br />afterwards. <br />Ayes-0 Nays-5 Motion failed. <br />Mayor Linke stated his understanding of the reason they were sending this back to the Charter <br />Commission is because it is not coming to the Council with a comment regarding whether it's <br />• sufficient or insufficient and notification as to it's happening. He stated he felt the Council <br />should be declaring it sufficient or insufficient because they are the elected body that should be <br />making that decision. <br />Council Member Gunn stated that the last sentence in 503 is the one that needs to be reworded. <br />Mayor Linke stated that also the first sentence of 504 needs to be reworded. <br />MOTION/SECOND. Stigney/Marty. To return Ordinance 743 to the Charter Commission to <br />look at Sections 503 and 504 as it pertains to the discussions that have taken place. <br />Ayes-5 Nays-0 Motion carried. <br />B. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 742, Amending Section 2.06 of <br />the City Charter regarding Mayor's Powers and Duties (Roll Call Vote). <br />Mayor Linke asked the City Attorney whether this ordinance would affect the duties given to him <br />by state statute for purpose of martial is still in there. <br />Council Member Quick stated that if it's in the ordinance, that gives the authority of the Council <br />to do that. <br />0 <br />
