CASE # <br /> <br />REQUEST TO RECONSIDER RESOLUTION CALLING FOR SPECIAL ELECTION <br /> By: James E. Norman, City Administrator <br /> <br />Back~round: <br /> <br />During the Council meeting of December 19, 2000, the City Council authorized a resolution <br />calling for a special election to adopt an ordinance establishing density and transition standards <br />for new residential development. The City received a letter, dated December 21, 2000, from <br />Barry A. Sullivan, who represents Ramsey resident Ben Deemer (letter attached to case). Mr. <br />Sullivan requested that the City Council reconsider the resolution passed on December 19, 2000, <br />and determine to cancel the special election. Mayor Gamec asked that this item be added to the <br />Council agenda for discussion and consideration. <br /> <br />As part of this same topic, Councilmember Hendriksen has asked that any reconsideration of the <br />special election also include discussions on Charter implications. The two major areas of <br />concern Councilmember Hendriksen has asked to be discussed include the ramifications of not <br />holding the special election called for on December 19, 2000, and the broader question of the <br />City's obligation to adopting an ordinance that was passed as a voter referendum Charter <br />amendment in September 1997. Staff will ask the City Attorney to respond to these questions. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />CC:'01/09/01 <br /> <br />-329- <br /> <br /> <br />
