IIIb. Review any new information for Charter Section 4.02. Chair J. Thomas met
with the Council and received direction to change language so the filing fee
would be $20. Consensus of Commission members was to use Minnesota
state statute language. Motion by B.Amundsen, second B. Mori, to prepare
resolution amending Mounds View Charter Section 4.02 to read"Pursuant to
MN State Statute 205.13". Discussion followed and Chair J. Thomas
recommended that he meet with the City Attorney to review latest ordinance
and charter language because he believes we already have addressed this
issue. Motion was withdrawn by the maker.
c. Review any new information for Charter Chapter 5. Chair J. Thomas
presented Chapter 5 language marked up along with Clerk Administrator letter
requesting changes. Council suggestions to add 5 days notice in language
5.03 did not seem reasonable to commission members. Chair J. Thomas was
directed to discuss issues of liability and consequence with Clerk
Administrator and attorney, as well as the fact that the Council doesn't meet
every five days which would require a special meeting. If attorney and Clerk
Administrator get agreement from Council to drop the five day request,then a
resolution will be presented at next meeting.
