In 1998 the League of Minnesota Cities updated its research on the number of cities that would fall into this category. As of September 1998 there were 30 cities in this category. The attached report from the League of Minnesota Cities gives additional detail regarding Charter Cities. I am available to answer questions should you have any.

'14* Hutchinson was the last city in Minnesota to have an official"commission"form of government. The city abandoned it in 1987. In 1989 two home rule cities, Sauk Centre and Jordan,abandoned their charters and became Plan A statutory cities. In 1998 the city of Isanti took similar action. To our knowledge,no other Minnesota city has ever abandoned its charter and reverted to statutory city status.

Percentages under the columns initiative, referendum, and recall indicate that those items are present in that city's charter, and show the percent of petitioners needed., based on the base for calculation as indicated. Lino Lakes requires a higher percent of petitioners for a special election. If blank, it means they do not have that feature in the charter. FREQUENCY RANGE OF COMMON VOTERS INITIATIVE 17/22 or 77% 5 -20% 10 % or less REFERENDUM 19/22 or 86% 2 - 20% 15 % or less RECALL 12/22 or 55% 2 - 25% 25% 2. 5 year use refers to the use of citizen's initiative or referendums. 5 year other refers to other city elections held by city where citizens were given a vote, but not because of I &R. When mayor Joy Tierney of Plymouth was here, she said that they always put some bonding in with each city proposal so that citizens are given the right to vote on the issue and so that I &R are not required. That is a decision the Plymouth City Council made to assure public support was behind the proposal. Of the twenty two cities responding, 4 used initiative or referendum during the past 5 years. There is no evidence of over-use or abuse that I can determine. 3. The most important referendum, in my opinion, was the Fridley vote, where the city council voted to put in a new city tax on utilities (gas and electric) last December. It was unpopular and a citizen referendum to repeal was organized. The repeal vote passed by a 4 to 1 margin and the ordinance was repealed. Without the right to referendum in their charter, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to reject the new tax. This shows the importance of having I &R in place before needed, so that it is there when needed, like an insurance policy. 4. Failed proposals for a city center in Blaine, a community center in Richfield, and an ice arena in White Bear Lake show the need to get out an promote and justify the need., and to insure that the plan is not overly expensive and grandiose compared to voters willingness and ability to pay. 5. Two out of 24 cities who have home rule charter in the metro area did not respond. Twenty two, or 92% responded. I know Columbia Heights had a referendum on a community center. M �
