City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Review of Charter Commission Resolution NO. 2003-
04; Recommendations for Modifications to Section
2.06 of the City Charter (Mayor's Powers and Duties)
and Section 4.05 of the City Charter (Vacancy of
Municipal Elected Office).
Background
This item was previously postponed by the Council along with the proposed Section
5 amendments, in order to allow additional staff research.
Discussion
The proposed revisions primarily clarify the language of the Charter with only minor
policy implications. Charter Commission Chair Thomas has been invited to the
Council meeting to explain the background of the proposal.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of moving forward with consideration of an ordinance
amending Sections 2.06 and 4.05. The Council may either direct staff to prepare the
ordinances to implement the proposed revision, provide additional direction to the
Charter Commission, or postpone this item if its determined more information is
necessary to make a decision. A unanimous vote is necessary to approve a Charter
Amendment.
Kurt Ulrich
City Administrator
Attached is a Charter Commission Resolution for the Council's consideration
regarding Section 2.06 and Section 4.05 of the City Charter. The Charter
Commission adopted this Resolution on October 10, 2003.
Please discuss and advise Staff if City Council wishes to proceed with processing an
Ordinance(s) regarding these sections.
Respectfully submitted,
Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator
