Title:
PUBLIC HEARING - Review recommendation from the Charter Commission to amend the charter by Ordinance #22-29 under M.S 410.12, subdivision 7
Purpose/Background:
The Charter Commission met on October 26, 2022 and is recommending the City Council amend the charter by Ordinance #22-29 under M.S. 410.12, subdivision 7. The recommended ordinance is to amend Section 2.4 of the Charter that no member of the Council may serve on the Charter Commission or other Board or Commission. The language in Ordinance #22-29 is the same language as the recently passed Ordinance #22-17 (attached for reference).
The City Council received the recommendation from the Charter Commission on November 22, 2022. The City published a notice of a public hearing of the proposal on Friday, December 16, 2022. Within one month of the public hearing, the city council must vote on the proposed charter amendment ordinance. Under M.S. 410.12, subdivision 7, if the City Council unanimously approves the ordinance then the ordinance is enacted 90 days after passage and publication. Within 60 days of passage and publication, a petition requesting a referendum on the ordinance may be filed with the City Clerk.
