Mounds View Charter Commission
Dated Jun 12, 2008
Whereas, the Mounds View Charter Commission has reviewed the requests for updates to
sections of the Mounds View Charter that are deemed necessary for the City of Mounds
View to have the authority to certify certain property based Administrative Offenses in a
similar manner as special assessments, therefore;
The Mounds View Charter Commission acting under Minnesota Statute 410.12 Subdivision
7, recommends the following amendments by the addition of the blue and double underlined
language and by the deletion of the Red and stricken language. The Mounds View Charter
Commission requests the City Council adopt this resolution by ordinance by the required
unanimous vote.

following:
The City must give notice to the property owner listed on the official tax records at least 30

City Council or a neutral third party as specified in City Code.
Administrative Offense penalties and charges must be directly related to the property being
