Terms of office for members of the City of Ramsey Home Rule Charter Commission are established by Minnesota Statutes 410.05 subd.2. b) Appointment by District Judge Appointments to the City of Ramsey Home Rule Charter Commission are made by the Chief Judge of the Tenth Judicial District in accordance with Minnesota Statute 410.05, when a commission member's term expires or a vacancy occurs, the chief judge has 30 days to make an appointment. If the judge fails to make an appointment, the governing body of the city may appoint the new members unless the chief judge indicates in writing to the governing body, within the 30 day period, of his or her intention to make the appointments. In this case, the judge has an additional 60 days to make the appointment. 8.
