liaison position if there are no current members of the City Council serving on

2 3.01 Should “meeting place” be by resolution or ordinance and time to notify for
special meeting - 24, 48, or 72 hours ?

Departments.

times each year, or should we consider four (4) times a year and what
considerations are necessary as it relates to the statement “The postal roll for the

3.04 Subd. 4 - Consider new section defining actions that require an Ordinance. See
section 2.13 of Mankato Charter as an example.
8.04 Subd. 1 - Consider increasing percentage requirement for “benefitted property
owners” from 25% to a majority, and other issues relating to the referendum
process as it relates street projects.
10.xx Consider replacing with a more general reference to State Statutes that would be
more accurate as the Statues have been determined to take precedence.
11.xx Similar to chapter 10.
