They use 3 <br /> judges and paper ballots for special elections. <br /> Normal cost: under $4,000. <br /> <br />Entire charter was revised in 1981. Cost for having it <br />published in the legal newspaper : $532. <br />The average costs for charter commission (they are still <br />very active), are under $200-$300 yearly. During last <br />revision theyJ~pent approx; $40 - office supvlies, $138 - <br />~e~al fee's... " <br /> <br />Does not have costs of charter writing, but the cha~ter <br />has not caused special elections since he has been with <br /> <br />the city. <br /> <br />The only example of costs they could give was for a <br />special election in 1973-1974. Cost: $1,000 -$1,200. <br /> <br />Charter written for under $2,500. No breakdown of costs <br />except for printing in legal paper: Anoka County Union - <br />$454.80. To further cut costs of charter copies they <br />Xeroxed 25 copies (for officials) and then bought 100 <br />copies of theUnion in which charter appeared, cut the charter <br />section out and used these for handing out to residents <br />that asked for copies. <br /> <br />No cost breakdown. <br /> <br />Under $1,500. No attorney fees. <br /> <br />Approximately $2,000. Feels we should try for getting <br />it done between $3,000 and $5,000. <br /> <br />ANOKA COLq~TY UNION ** <br /> <br /> I spoke to the head of the legal dept. of the Union. <br />She could not give me even a n estimale of the cost of printing <br />our charter. She did say that they reduce it to 5-point <br />tyoe and charge approx. $320. for a full page. <br /> <br /> <br />
