w <br />1 <br />The Honorable Lawrence Cohen <br />Chief Judge, Second Judicial District <br />Ramsey County Courthouse <br />15 Kellogg Boulevard <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />December 8, 2000 <br />RE: Roseville Charter Commission <br />Court file CO-99-5532 <br />Annual Report, 2000 <br />Honorable Judge Cohen: <br />During the year 2000 the Roseville Charter Commission continued its study of <br />charter issues, voted to develop a charter and began the process of developing a charter to <br />submit to the citizens of Roseville. <br />In March we developed a schedule of proposed topics and invited a large number of <br />community organizations to present their views. Since our meeting in January we have <br />listened to and questioned Roseville citizens, representatives of the League of Women <br />Voters, current and previous Roseville City Council members, Roseville city staffmembers, <br />representatives from other charter commissions, staffmembers from metro-area charter <br />cities, a representative the League of Minnesota Cities, a school board representative and a <br />Ramsey County Commissioner. <br />At the August meeting a majority of Commission members voted to develop a <br />charter. Our September meeting was devoted to organizing this effort. We are using the <br />League of Minnesota Cities Model Charter as a guide, with the goal of covering not more <br />than three chapters per meeting. Judging by the results of the October meeting, this goal will <br />not be hard to reach. <br />At the October meeting we passed a resolution to dispense with the December <br />meeting. Our deliberations will resume in January, 2001. <br />Signed: ~, <br />Vi ky Lorenz, air <br />2660 Civic Center Drive • Roseville • Minnesota • 55113 <br />651-490-2200 • TDD 651-490-2207 • wwH.ci.roseville.mn.us <br />
