CHARTER COMMISSION
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL BY ORDINANCE;
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SECTION 5.07 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 5.07 to read as follows;
Section 5.07. Referendum. Prior to the date when an ordinance takes effect it may be
subjected to referendum by a petition which shall state at the head of each page, or attached
thereto, the exact text of the measure to be considered by the electorate. If the petition is found to
be sufficient under the provisions of Section 5.03 of this chapter, the said ordinance shall thereby
be prevented from going into operation, and the subject matter of the petition 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 to be hold within such
period, providing the petition has been found to be sufficient. If a majority of the voters voting
thereon favors the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall remain in effect. If a majority of
the electors voting thereon votes against the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall be
considered repealed upon certification of the election results.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Charter Commission directs the commissions 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.
