Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Motion to Recommend the Appointment of

Overview
:
The Charter Commission consists of 11 members that are recommended by the Mayor and
appointed by the Chief Judge of the District Court of Hennepin County. Terms are four-years
long and members are allowed to serve up to two terms.
With the Council’s concurrence, a letter will be sent to the Chief Judge of Hennepin County
recommending that the nine Hopkins residents be appointed to the Hopkins Charter Commission.
The Chief Judge will review the applications and ensure that the applicants meet all statutory
requirements to serve on the Charter Commission.
Primary Issues to Consider
:
The Charter Commission is required to consist of 11 members. With the appointment of
the recommended nine residents the Commission will be at capacity.
The City Council has reviewed all applications on file.
