Commission Members,
Attached are the Secretary's March 21, 2019, Minutes, Draft Meeting Date
Resolution, and the current Commission Mission Statement
resolution adopted in 2002, requested at the last Commission
meeting.
Jenny, please have these items placed on the website for availability
to the public, and printed for Dennis Erickson.
Nyle, please email me the Time Savers minutes in MS
document format as requested in multiple emails since April 29. If
the Commission decides to use them, versus the typical minutes attached,
then I am able to CORRECT the minutes after the Commission meeting per
my duties.
Commission members, please allow me to explain why these documents are
coming separately. It is a result of a break down of the established
Commission process and difference of opinion on duties of the
Secretary and authority of the Chair. I request an agenda item be added
to our May 21 meeting to discuss the Secretary's duties listed in the
Bylaws and process to complete those duties.
I have attempted to discuss the existing process and duties of
Secretary and Chair, but have been either ignored (no reply) or
dismissed, for my 17 years experience doing this function, by both the
Chair and City Administrator. They have changed the process, excluded
the Secretary, and ignored the Bylaws and previous process established
by the Commission. It is the Commission's decision, as stated in
statutes, to determine its operations and procedures. If a change in
the Secretary's duties and resulting process are required, and I don't
think there is, it is the Commissions decision not the Chair or the City
Administrator, which is why I ask for it to be on Tuesday's
agenda.
Please accept my request to support the discussion of this topic.
Sincerely,
Brian Amundsen
Secretary, Charter Commission of Mounds View, MN
