the recommended changes of wording in Sections 4 . 01 , 4 . 04 and 4 . 05 ,
subd . 3 . Several minor changes were also noted .
During the commission ' s discussion of local elections a question arose
as to whether Mounds View may control its own elections , setting its
own filing fee pursuant to the Minnesota Constitution Article 12 ,
Sec . 2 and Minn . Stat . 410 . 21 . This item will need to be reviewed
with the League of Minnesota Cities ' staff attorney .
Upon the motion of Laurie Schley , seconded by Richard Oman , the commission
voted unanimously to table the discussion of Section 5 . 05 as submitted
by Duane McCarty until the entire chapter has been re-drafted . Sue
Hankner will be contacted to re-write the balance of Chapter 5 .
Richard Oman will re-write the balance of Chapter 6 including the
earlier proposal he submitted defining the clerk-administrator ' s duties .
Issues raised in revising Chapter 8 will require the advise and counsel
of an experienced municipal lawyer . The commission agreed this input
will be required soon because the review of the re-writes is nearly
complete . The attendance of the entire commission will be critical
at the point we review the legal issue set asides . The importance
of regular attendance was discussed and the possibility of developing
a policy was discussed briefly .
