EXHIBIT A
Ms. Amundsen:
Upon review of the petition you submitted to the City of Mounds View on January 25, 2022, I have determined that the petition is not in the proper form as required under Minnesota Rules,
part 8205.1010, which has been adopted by the Minnesota Secretary of State under Minnesota Statutes, Section 204B.071. The Ramsey County Elections Office concurs that the petition is
not in the proper form. Since the signatures were collected in an improper manner, the number of valid signatures cannot be determined at this time. I presented these findings to the
City Council at a Special City Council meeting on February 4, 2022. An example of the proper form is attached to this correspondence as Exhibit A.
Upon receipt of this notice you have 10 days to amend the petition to include the requisite number of signatures in the proper form as required by Minnesota Rules, part 8205.1010 and
Minnesota Statutes, Section 410.12 and all requirements set forth therein. If you choose to submit an amended petition, the amended petition must be submitted to the Ramsey County
Elections Office no later than 4:30pm on February 14, 2022. Ramsey County Elections Office contact information is provided below:
