AL SANDS, C.P.A. <br />2612 ALDINE STREET NORTH <br />ROSEVILLE, MN. 55113 <br />(651) 633-5761 Home <br />(651)489-1393 Office <br />(651)489-1396 Fax <br />EMail: ESands2612@AOL.com <br />January 5, 2000 <br />Vicky Lorenz <br />Rottlund Homes <br />3065 Centre Pointe Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />RE: Charter Commission -January Meeting <br />Dear Vicky: <br />Enclosed are some items I would like distributed ahead of time for discussion at the <br />January meeting: <br />1. A recap of comparable cities various charter items that I thought would be <br />of interest when deciding how Roseville might want to go. <br />2. A suggested time table to wade through the issues and finish the job. The idea is that <br />if commission members know what's coming up for study and debate, they can <br />"bone up" ahead of time. If we finish up early on an issue, we could go on to the <br />next one so long as members know what's ahead. <br />I've also put in some ideas on possible campaign funding at the local level <br />to make it easier for people to run for office. This would be breaking new <br />ground, and it's in response to Mayor Kysy~yczyn's request for some ideas to <br />make running for office easier on candidates. For discussion at some future time. <br />3. Some recent examples of the use of initiative and referendum. I know of no recent <br />examples of recall of elected officials. <br />4. Some proposals for discussion on expenditure limitations for Roseville for the <br />January meeting. I have a half hour video tape I made up in 1997 summarizing <br />the City's TIF forums which I'll be glad to lend out to anyone asking me for it. <br />Sincerely, <br />G~-L /.~-~--~-°-~ <br />
