Timing; procedure; recall. Upon <br />delivery of such draft, the council or other governing body of <br />the city shall cause the proposed charter to be submitted at the <br />next general election thereafter occurring in the city within <br />six months after the delivery of such draft, and if there is no <br />general city election occurring in the city within six months <br />after the delivery of such draft, then the council or other <br />governing body of the city shall cause the proposed charter to <br />be submitted at a special election to be held within 90 days <br />after the delivery of such draft. The council or other <br />governing body may call a special election for that purpose only <br />at any time. If the election is held at the same time with the <br />general election, the voting places and election officers shall <br />be the same for both elections. At any time before the council <br />has fixed the date of the election upon the proposed charter, <br />the charter commission may recall it for further action; and the <br />council may authorize recall of the charter by the commission at <br />any later date prior to the first publication of the proposed <br />charter. <br /> <br /> Subd. 2. Election notice; publication. The notice of <br />election shall contain the complete charter and shall be <br />published once a week for two successive weeks in the official <br />newspaper of the city, or if there be none, in a legal newspaper <br />of general circulation in the city. In every city of the first <br />class, the publication shall be made in a newspaper having an <br />aggregate regular paid circulation of at least 25,000 copies. <br />The governing body may in addition thereto publish the notice in <br />any other legal newspaper published in the city. <br /> <br /> Subd. 3. Ballot words, form. The ballot shall bear <br />the printed words, "Shall the proposed new charter be adopted? <br />Yes .... No ..... "with a square after each of the last two words, <br />in which the voter may place a cross to express a choice. If <br />any part of such charter be submitted in the alternative, the <br />ballot shall be so printed as to permit the voter to indicate a <br />preference in any instance by inserting a cross in like manner. <br /> <br /> Subd. 4. Rejection; later proposals. If any charter <br />so submitted be rejected the charter commission may propose <br />others from time to time until one is adopted. <br /> <br /> HIST: (1284) RL s 754; 1909 c 214 s 1; 1959 c 305 s 5; 1961 c <br />608 s 4; 1973 c 123 art 5 s 7; 1986 c 444 <br /> <br />Copyrigh~ 2001 by the office of Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota. <br /> <br />http ://www. revisor, leg.state, mn. us/stats/410/10.html 1/7/( <br /> <br /> <br />
