Commissioner Donovan revealed he previously had a concern about parkland but from this <br />discussion felt assured there would be not problems. <br /> <br />Commissioner Swokowski felt that this provision appears to be a lame provision. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen stated the only land that might be somewhat of an issue is the property City <br />Hall is sitting on. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that if Section 12.5 stays, there would be an ordinance protection. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen stated he reads this as a land provision and felt that it's a "left-over" and <br />questioned why it should be kept in the Charter. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Swokowski and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to direct Staff to <br />prepare the appropriate ordinance for review at the next Charter Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Steffen, Commissioners Swokowski, Nelson, <br />Donovan, Kiefer, Marn, Netzloff and Spain-Brist. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner <br />Goode. <br /> <br />Future Meeting Discussion <br /> <br />1) Review Chapter 8 <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder informed the Commission that there is a subdivision proposed called <br />Fox Knoll. It was proposed with the developer utilizing an existing rural subdivision for access. <br />As a result of that issue, I am quite certain there will be a referendum process taking place as it <br />relates to the urban service area expansion. The current process is the City conducts a planning <br />review, holds a public hearing, submits documents/request to the Metropolitan Council and if <br />approval is received, the expansion occurs. He felt this would be an issue this year. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen inquired if expansion of undeveloped MUSA land is a public improvement <br />that can come under the process of the Charter. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder replied no, Chapter 8 is on here for a totally different reason. The whole issue may <br />be back again. <br /> <br />Commission Input <br /> <br />1 ) July Meeting <br /> <br />Consensus of the Charter Commission was to postpone the July meeting for August 17, 1995. <br /> <br />2) Budget <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen inquired what the schedule is for budgeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder replied we are trying to move the whole schedule up. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen commented we should discuss budget input early on. <br /> <br />Charter Commission/April 20, 1995 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
