Enclosure
The Honorable Robert A. Forsythe
Chief Judge
Hennepin County District Court
Government Center - C-751
300 South 6th Street
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55487
Dear Judge Forsythe:
I have been directed by the City Council of the City of
Crystal, Minnesota, to request you to make appointments to
the Crystal Charter Commission pursuant to Minnesota Stat-
utes, Section 410.05, Subdivisions 2 and 3. A certified
copy of the Council action of February 3, 1987 in this
regard and a certified list of qualified voters of the City
as eligible nominees for your consideration are enclosed.
The City operates under a home rule charter adopted
August 23, 1960, which had been framed by a duly appointed
Charter Commission. Since the adoption of the Charter,
however, the Charter Commission has not met, and no new
appointments to it have been made. Our City Attorney has
advised us that technically the Commission still exists and
that a practical approach to the matter is to notify you
pursuant to Section 410.05, Subdivision 2, that vacancies
exist and request that appointments to fill those vacancies
be made.
If there is any other information you need relating to
the appointments I will be happy to supply it.
Yours very truly,
John T. Irving
City Manager
