Adoption of the attached resolution.

The City of Mankato is a Home Rule Charter City with an adopted charter. As part of the Charter, the city is required to have a Charter Commission. The District Court in Blue Earth County, acting through its chief judge, is the appointing authority for members to the city's Charter Commission, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 410.05. The Charter Commission currently has four terms expiring as of June 30, 2024. Minn. Stat. 410.05, Subd. 3, allows the City Council to submit to the Court the names of eligible nominees which the District Court may consider in making appointments to the Charter Commission. The Commission must be comprised of not less than seven, and not more than fifteen members.

The following have terms that will expire on June 30, 2026, and they are interested in being reappointed to a four-year term expiring on June 30, 2030: Trudy Kunkel and Mike Lagerquist.

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution. Upon adoption, the City Clerk will send notice of the recommendation to the District Court for consideration.
