CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSED On May 23, 1995, the City was presented with a petition to amend the City Charter. The requested amendment is: Section 14.1 Modification of the MUSA. From time to time the city may wish to expand or modify the area served by sewer and water which is commonly known as the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). 14.1.1 Initiation. Modification of the MUSA must be initiated by a 415 vote of the City Council. 14.1.2 Evaluation of Proposed Modification. This Chapter is not intended to alter the planning and evaluation process required by law. 14.1.3 Ratification of Proposed Modification. Upon completion of the planning process the proposed modification must be approved by a majority of registered voters prior to its implementation or submission to any outside regulatory body. As a result of this petition, it is expected that there will be an election scheduled in August, 1995. The voters will be asked to either support or oppose this change in how development is to occur within the community. The vote of the people is binding. A majority in the affirmative would make the above charter provision law within the City of Ramsey.
