SUBJECT: Change of polling location for Ward 3, Precinct 3
In 2012, the City Council established new precinct boundaries and added three new
precincts as a result of redistricting. In an effort to lessen confusion to voters and make
voting as convenient as possible, a few polling places were designated to accommodate
voters from two different precincts.
Praise Christian Center, located at 4110 Douglas Drive North, was designated as the
polling place for Ward 2, Precinct 1 and Ward 3, Precinct 3 for the 2012 election.
However, due to facility restrictions, staff has determined that Praise Christian Center is no
longer a suitable polling place for more than one precinct. Staff has researched an
alternative polling place for Ward 3, Precinct 3 and recommends Brunswick United
Methodist Church located at 6122 42nd Avenue North. Brunswick United Methodist
Church has authorized use of its facility as a polling place for elections, meets state
guidelines for accessibility, and is within one mile of the precinct boundary.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. §2046.16, polling place changes cannot be made less than 90
days before the next election nor anytime between the state primary and general
elections. The deadline to change a polling place prior to the primary election is May 14,
2014.
If a polling place change is approved, all affected households with at least one registered
voter will be notified by a non-forwardable mailing no later than 25 days before the
election. There are approximately 290 households and 435 registered voters in Ward 3,
Precinct 3.
Attached is a ward and precinct map that includes the newly proposed polling place for
Ward 3, Precinct 3.
The Council should discuss changing the polling place for Ward 3, Precinct 3.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Council Salaries
In 2005, the Council adopted a resolution establishing a procedure for setting mayor
and council salaries. In each election year, the Council will consider salaries for the
next two calendar years after the election and will base increases on the average
increases with all bargaining units in the city for the preceding two years.
2 -year Average (2012 and 2013): 1 %
There were no increases in Mayor and Council salaries for three years, 2009, 2010 and
2011. There was a 1% increase in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
At a work session earlier this year, the Council discussed increasing the Mayor and
Council salaries by 1 % each year in 2015 and 2016. At its February 3 meeting, the
Council tabled consideration of the first reading of the ordinance making this change for
further discussion.
