RE: Proposed Charter Amendments
Dear Mr. Dulgar:
I am transmitting herewith a series of proposed amendments to the city charter proposed by the
charter commission and request that the city council consider the proposed ordinance as soon as
convenient. The commission recommends that the amendments be made by the ordinance
method authorized by Minnesota Statutes, section 410.12, subdivision 7. The commission's was
taken at its April 10 meeting.
The proposed amendments are self-explanatory and are for the most part designed to remove
obsolete language from the charter. The amendment to section 6.05 of the charter, dealing with
purchases by the city manager, was before the council some time back but one vote short of the
required unanimous vote for passage. The commission feels that the proposal has merit and
recommends its approval.
I would appreciate being notified of the date of the public hearing on the ordinance. If you have
any questions about the proposals, please contact me or the commission's attorney, Dave
Kennedy.
Yours truly,
Sharen Allbee
