~n <br />._ ~ <br />Dear Supporters of Home Rule for Roseville: - <br />We were successful in getting almost twice the number of signatures <br />(800) necessary to require that a home rule charter commission be <br />appointed by the Ramsey County District Court. <br />Attached is a copy of the original petition along with a proposed list of <br />Articles of Home Rule Charter that we suggest. Your help is now <br />needed to show the commission that citizens want Home Rule. <br />~-remember, a home rule charter does not involve changing all the minor <br />day-to-day operations or ordinances of the city, etc. It does not <br />eliminate or replace the present council. Rather, it simply gives citizens <br />some say in our local government, and places limits on what city <br />officials can do (currently it only takes 3 council members to make <br />major decisions, such as giving away city assets and borrowing <br />$millions for new buildings, etc.). <br />Home Rule will be similar to having a constitution that will protect us <br />from excesses, just as the United States Constitution keeps our national <br />leaders from going too far astray. <br />The next meeting is Wednesday, December 15, at 7.00 P.M. at city <br />hall. This is the meeting the commission has set aside to hear from <br />i proponents of a home rule charter. WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE, <br />COMMENTS, AND SUPPORT AT THIS MEETING TO SHOW <br />WE WA T A HOME RULE CHARTER! /~ / <br />Vf~ <br />Q~ t"l~SE - S PER k out= SPEAK ~P <br />~ c ~F Pr ~2 T E ~ 1 <br />L~~ ~ ~~'``Z'` <br />
