She advised this issue cannot be <br />included on the ballot after the 1990 election without further direction from the <br />Legislature. <br /> <br />Judy Grant corrlucted a slide presentation explaining what is included in the <br />Charter . <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone questioned the removal of County Road E as a state Aid Road <br />in the Charter; Section 12.03 (h). <br /> <br />Beverly McKinnel advised Section 12 was drafted by the County Attorney staff and <br />she is not aware of the reason f= removal of County Road E; offered to contact <br />the Attorney's staff and report back to Council. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />councilmember Hansen reported this matter was discussed at the Ramsey County <br />League meeting and advised several cities expressed concern that the County will <br />obtain more power with adoption of the Charter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Growe questioned if the "checks an:l. balances" relating to !:cnding <br />authority will remain in effect. <br /> <br />McKinnel explained a law passed in 1988/89 alloos Counties to !:cnd, however, <br />there is a "sunshine" lllnit on the law (5 years).

McKinnel advised the <br />recall provision is =ently under state law; the provision was changed to state <br />the County is now governed by state law an:l. does not specify procedures. <br /> <br />councilmember Mahowald questioned if the J:onding authority provision grants any <br />benefits to municipalities from the bonding perspective or any other financial <br />aspect. <br /> <br />McKinnel stated this section was closely scrutinized by city officials and helps <br />maintain a gexxi working relationship with COlll1ties an:l. Municipalities by stating <br />the two entities must cooperate an:l. work together in planning projects. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to adopt Resolution <br />No. 90-23, Relating to the Ramsey County Charter Referendum On the General <br />Election Ballot, November 6, 1990.
