Motion carried. All present voted in favor. Absent: Commissioner Niederhaus. <br />COMMISSION /STAFF INPUT <br />City Clerk Thieling inquired if there is any interest in amending the City's Charter to state that <br />local write -in votes do not have to be tallied unless the person has filed as a write -in a certain <br />number of days prior to the election. She referred to the City of Blaine's Charter language about <br />this subject, and added that it does save time for the election judges on election night. At this <br />point, State, Federal and County level write -in candidates are not counted unless they have filed <br />as a write -in prior to the election. The write -in votes would still be counted, however, they <br />would not be tallied. That is where the time savings occur for the judges. <br />Motion by Commissioner Zaetsch, seconded by Commissioner Sivertson, to add the topic of <br />write -ins to the next agenda and supply the Commission with the language used by the City of <br />Blaine. <br />Motion carried. All present voted in favor. Absent: Commissioner Niederhaus. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer, seconded by Commissioner Zaetsch, to adjourn the meeting. <br />Motion carried. All present voted in favor. Absent: Commissioner Niederhaus. <br />The regular meeting of the Charter Commission adjourned at 8:28 p.m. <br />. <br />Minutes taken and transcribed by Jo Thieling, City Clerk <br />Charter Commission/ September 19, 2013 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />
