Person called attention to the misunderstanding on the notice of filing for candidacy in local elections this fall. She explained that most cities have primaries for local elections which is not the case in Arden Hills. If Arden Hills had a primary for local elections, the calendar would be accurate. There will be a statewide primary in Arden Hills, as in other cities. The period for filing affidavits of candidacy for local office is August 30, 1994, through September 13, 1994, for the election on November 8, 1994. Filings for the local election cannot be accepted until August 30, 1994. Filla recommended that new notices be sent out and one staff person designated to answer any questions of anyone who comes in to file. Malone indicated that he understood from a Secretary of State employee that there would be a court decision to allow for the August- September candidacy filing. Filla indicated that since this is clearly a miscommunication, a court ruling is not necessary.
