ORDINANCE; AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SECTION 5.05 OF THE
MOUNDS VIEW CITY CHARTER .
The Mounds View Charter Commission acting under Minnesota Statutes 410.12
Subdivision 7, hereby recommends amending the Charter of the City of Mounds View
under Section 5.05 to read as follows;
Section 5.05. Initiative. Any ordinance may be proposed by a petition which
shall state at the head of each page or attached thereto the exact text of the proposed
ordinance. If the Council passed the proposed ordinance with amendments, and a majority
of the sponsoring committee do not disapprove the amended form by a statement filed
with the Clerk-Administrator within ten days of its passages by the Council, the
ordinance need not be submitted to the voters. If the Council fails to enact the ordinance
in a form acceptable to the majority of the sponsoring committee within sixty days after
the final determination of sufficiency of the petition, the ordinance as originally proposed
shall be placed on the ballot at the next election occurring in the City. If no election is to
occur within 120 days after the filing of the petition, the Council shall call a special
election on the ordinance to be held within such period. If a majority of those voting on
the ordinance vote in its favor, it shall become effective thirty days after adoption unless
the ordinance specifies a later effective date.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Charter Commission directs the commission’s
chairperson to forward this resolution to the Clerk-Administrator for presentation to the
City Council under Minnesota Statutes 410.12 Subdivision 7.
Adopted this 13th day of January, 2000.
