CITY OF HOPKINS Memorandum
To: Hopkins Charter Commission Members
From: Amy Domeier, City Clerk
Date: November 20, 2025
Subject: 2025 Charter Amendments: Chapters 2 and 4
The Charter Commission previously recommended that Chapters 2 and 4 of the Hopkins
City Charter, related to municipal election timing and the length of the mayor’s term, should
be amended by ordinance but those amendments did not receive the unanimous Council
approval required to move forward.
On February 18, 2025, the Charter Commission directed staff to bring back the approvals
necessary for the Charter Commission to initiate the process to submit the proposed
amendment to voters at the same time as the city general election on November 4, 2025.
If 51 percent of the votes cast on any amendment are in favor of adoption, the amendment
will become effective 30 days after the date of the election.
On April 1, 2025, the Charter Commission adopted resolutions to initiate the amendment
by election process and long with suggested ballot question language.
On May 6, 2025, the City Council adopted resolutions with that included the ballot
language and set a special election to amend Chapters 2 and 4 of the Hopkins City
Charter.
On November 4, 2025, the City of Hopkins held the special election. The following City
Charter amendments were on the Hopkins ballot:
• Question 1: Should the Hopkins City Charter be amended to transition from odd-
year city general elections to even-year city general elections? A “yes” vote is a
vote to move to even-year elections. A “no” vote is a vote to keep odd-year
elections.
• Question 2: Should the Hopkins City Charter be amended to transition the mayor’s
term from a two-year term to a four-year term? A “yes” vote is a vote to move to a
four-year term. A “no” vote is a vote to keep a two-year term.
On November 6, 2025, the City Council declared the elections results:
• Question 1: Yes votes were 2,102 and no votes were 912
• Question 2: Yes votes were 2032 and no votes were 1,100
On November 7, 2025, per Minnesota Statutes Section 410.12, subd. 4 and 410.11 the
City Clerk
DOCSOPEN\HP145\8\1018836.v2-3/26/25
City Clerk filed the election results with the Secretary of State’s Office. The amendments
become effective in 30 days after filing.
The next step in the process is for the City Council to adopt an ordinance amendment that
contains an orderly plan for the transition of terms with moving to even-year elections.
While the decision to shorten or lengthen terms is ultimately up to the City Council, the
Charter Commission may make a recommendation with proposed mayor and council
member terms.

205.07 MS 1957 [Repealed, 1959 c 675 art 13 s 1]
205.07 CITY GENERAL ELECTION.
Subdivision 1.Date of election.The municipal general election in each city shall be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in November in every even-numbered year. Notwithstanding any provision
of law to the contrary and subject to the provisions of this section, the governing body of a city may, by
ordinance passed at a regular meeting held at least 180 calendar days before the first day to file for candidacy
in the next municipal election, decide to hold the election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November in either an even- or odd-numbered year. A city may hold elections in either the even-numbered
year or the odd-numbered year, but not both. When a city changes its elections from one year to another,
and does not provide for the expiration of terms by ordinance, the term of an incumbent expiring at a time
when no municipal election is held in the months immediately prior to expiration is extended until the date
for taking office following the next scheduled municipal election. If the change results in having three council
members to be elected at a succeeding election, the two individuals receiving the highest vote shall serve
for terms of four years and the individual receiving the third highest number of votes shall serve for a term
of two years. To provide an orderly transition to the odd or even year election plan, the governing body of
the city may adopt supplementary ordinances regulating initial elections and officers to be chosen at the
elections and shortening or lengthening the terms of incumbents and those elected at the initial election. The
term of office for the mayor may be either two or four years. The term of office of council members is four
years. Whenever the time of the municipal election is changed, the city clerk immediately shall notify in
writing the county auditor and secretary of state of the change of date. Thereafter the municipal general
election shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each odd-numbered or
even-numbered year until the ordinance is revoked and notification of the change is made. A municipal
general election scheduled to be held in an odd-numbered year may be postponed for inclement weather as
provided in section 205.105.
Subd. 1a.City council members; expiration of terms.The terms of all city council members of charter
cities expire on the first Monday in January of the year in which they expire. All officers of charter cities
chosen and qualified shall hold office until their successors qualify.
Subd. 2.[Repealed, 1976 c 44 s 70]
Subd. 3.Effect of ordinance; referendum.An ordinance changing the year of the municipal election
is effective 240 days after passage and publication or at a later date fixed in the ordinance. Within 180 days
after passage and publication of the ordinance, a petition requesting a referendum on the ordinance may be
filed with the city clerk. The petition shall be signed by eligible voters equal in number to ten percent of the
total number of votes cast in the city at the last municipal general election. If the requisite petition is filed
within the prescribed period, the ordinance shall not become effective until it is approved by a majority of
the voters voting on the question at a general or special election held on a date authorized by section 205.10,
subdivision 3a. If the petition is filed, the governing body may reconsider its action in adopting the ordinance.

CITY OF HOPKINS Memorandum
To: Hopkins Charter Commission Members
From: Amy Domeier, City Clerk
Date: November 20, 2025
Subject: 2025 Charter Amendment: Chapters 5
The Charter Commission should review Chapter 5 – Initiative, Referendum and Recall.
Please see attached memorandum from Scott Riggs, Hopkins City Attorney. The Charter
Commission should consider adopting a charter amendment that clarifies that all petitions
submitted to the city must follow the SOS form requirements. A simple charter amendment
striking all form requirements and instead specifically referencing “All petitions submitted
pursuant to this Charter or Minnesota Statutes must follow the requirements established
by the Minnesota Secretary of State prescribing the form of a petition” would be sufficient.

language in compliance with state statute, an ordinance will be provided at the next meeting
for consideration.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 17, 2025
TO: Hopkins Charter Commission
CC: Mike Mornson, City Manager
Amy Domeier, City Clerk
FROM: Scott J. Riggs, City Attorney
RE: Charter City Petition Requirements
The League of Minnesota Cities reached out to the City, along with many other charter cities, after
reviewing the Charter and reminded cities of Minnesota Secretary of State standards establishing
form requirements related to certain constituent submitted petitions. Form standards generally
relate to items such as paper and font size; number of signature lines and required data from each
signer; required information such as a title and summary; as well as specific language such a
signers oath.
Statute and court decisions have made clear that these standards are required for petitions for recall
of elected officials, petitions authorized under Minnesota Election Law, and petitions related to
charter amendments and adoption. While there is not the same explicit link to municipal initiative
and referendum, the Supreme Court appears to broadly apply the Secretary of State’s rules to
petitions, and following the form requirements is a reasonable idea. 1
1 For reference, the following is the footnote from a 2018 Minnesota Supreme Court decision that explicitly links
almost all petitions to the Secretary of State’s rules; there does not appear to be the same link for municipal referendum
and initiative petitions because neither automatically result in an election, where as it appears that all of the other
petitions mentioned would result in an election.
Butler v. St. Paul, Footnote 6 - See Minn. Stat. §204B.071 (2018) “The secretary of state shall adopt rules governing
the manner in which petitions required for any election in this state are circulated, signed, filed, and inspected.”).
During oral argument, Butler’s counsel argued that Minn. Stat. §204B.071 grants the secretary of state authority to
adopt rules only relating to nominating and referendum petitions and therefore Minn. R. 8205.1050 does not apply to
charter amendment petitions. This assertion is incorrect. Cha pter 204B “applies to all elections held in this state
except as otherwise provided by law.” Minn. Stat. §204B.02(2018). Section 204B.071 falls under the section titled
“Candidate Nomination and Filing,” Minn. Stat. §§204B.03 –.12(2018) (emphasis added), which includes filing
petitions to place a charter amendment on the ballot. See Minn. Stat. §204B.071; see also In re Referendum to Amend
City of Grand Rapids, Minn. Mun. Elections Ordinance No. 04-08-11, No. A05-2350, 2006 WL1985595, at *2 (Minn.
App. July 18, 2006) (“Petition forms required for any Minnesota election are governed by rules adopted by the
secretary of state.”.

By following the same set of form requirements, the city will reduce the likelihood of error or
confusion on behalf of the public and of staff when submitting and reviewing any petition and
confirming that signers are authorized to sign the relevant petition. Following these form
requirements for all petitions will not eliminate the ability of the city to require, for example, a
committee of petitioners for initiative or recall petitions, but instead, standardizes the items
addressed in Minnesota Rules, part 8205.1010 (enclosed for reference), which are focused on the
form of what the potential signer sees and is required to provide on the petition form.
In furtherance of the above discussion, the city should also consider adopting a charter amendment
that clarifies that all petitions submitted to the city must follow the SOS form requirements. A
simple charter amendment striking all form requirements and instead specifically referencing “All
petitions submitted pursuant to this Charter or Minnesota Statutes must follow the requirements
established by the Minnesota Secretary of State prescribing the form of a petition” would be
sufficient.
The League also mentions establishing model petition forms. This approach is not recommended.
Having a model petition form is not a legal requirement and having model petition forms will
require staff to ensure the models are up to date and appropriate for the different types of petitions
a charter city could receive. For example, a charter amendment petition must list the committee
of petitioners, while a petition under Minn. Stat. 475.521 related to issuing municipal bonds does
not. While the form of the petition for both the charter amendment and reverse referendum is the
same (following the Secretary of State’s rules) the information that is required within that form is
different. Additionally, and importantly, the Secretary of State already maintains a model form
that petitioners can use as a template.
Recommendation:
Provide direction to city staff and attorney to draft an ordinance amending the city charter.

CHAPTER 5
INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL
Sec. 5.01. - Powers reserved by the people.
The people of Hopkins reserve to themselves the powers, in accordance with the provisions of this
Charter, to initiate and adopt ordinances and resolutions, to require ordinances passed by the council to be
referred to the electorate for approval or disapproval, and to recall elected public officials. These powers
shall be called the initiative, the referendum and the recall, respectively.
Sec. 5.02. - Expenditures by petitioners.
No member of any initiative, referendum or recall committee, no circular of a signature paper, and no
signer of any such paper, or any other person, shall accept or offer any reward, pecuniary or otherwise, for
service rendered in connection with the circulation thereof, but this shall not prevent the committee from
incurring expenses for legal advice, stationary, copying, printing, advertising and notaries fees. The
committee, at least five days before the election, shall file with the city manager a financial statement
verified by a member of the committee, which shall show, in itemized detail, all receipts with the source
thereof, and all disbursements and all obligations to make disbursements. Any violation of the provisions of
this section shall constitute a misdemeanor.
Sec. 5.03. - Further regulations.
The council may as soon as possible after the organization of city government under this Charter provide
by ordinance such further regulations for the initiative, referendum and recall, not inconsistent with this
Charter, as may be deemed necessary. Such ordinance shall include the relevant provisions of this Charter.
INITIATIVE
Sec. 5.04. - Initiation of measures.
Any five voters may form themselves into a committee for the initiation of any measure of public,
general, city-wide concern.
11/12/25, 4:28 PM Hopkins, MN Code of Ordinances
about:blank 1/8
After formulating their measure they shall file a verified copy thereof with the city manager together with
their names and addresses as members of such committee. They shall also attach a verified copy of the
proposed measure to each of the signature papers herein described, together with their names and
addresses as sponsors therefor.
Sec. 5.05. - Form of petition and of signature papers.
The petition for the adoption of any measure shall consist of the measure, together with all the signature
papers and affidavits thereto attached. Such petition shall not be complete unless signed by a number of
voters equal to at least ten percent of the total number of votes cast at the last preceding regular municipal
election. All the signatures need not be on one signature paper, but the circulator of every such paper shall
make an affidavit that each signature appended to the paper is the genuine signature of the person whose
name it purports to be. Each signature paper shall be in substantially the following form:
INITIATIVE PETITION
Proposing an ordinance (or resolution, as the case may be) to ………… (stating the purpose of the
measure), a copy of which ordinance (or resolution) is hereto attached. This measure is sponsored by the
following committee of electors:
Name Address
1 ..........
2 ..........

The undersigned electors, understanding the terms and the nature of the measure hereto attached,
petition the council for its adoption, or, in lieu thereof, for its submission to the voters for their approval.

At the end of the list of signatures shall be appended the affidavit of the circulator, mentioned above.
Sec. 5.06. - Filing of petitions and action thereon.
All the signature papers shall be filed in the office of the city manager as one instrument. Within five days
after the filing of the petition the city manager shall ascertain by examination the number of voters whose
signatures are appended thereto, and whether this number is at least ten percent of the total number of
voters who cast their votes at the last preceding regular municipal election. If the manager finds the petition
insufficient or irregular, he shall at once notify one or more of the committee of sponsors of that fact,
certifying the reasons for his finding. The committee shall then be given 30 days in which to file additional
signature papers and to correct the petition in all other particulars. If at the end of that period the petition is
found to be still insufficient or irregular, the manager shall file the same in his office and shall notify each
member of the committee of that fact. The final finding of the insufficiency or irregularity of a petition shall
not prejudice the filing of a new petition for the same purpose, nor shall it prevent the council from
referring the measure to the voters at the next regular or any special election, at its option.
Sec. 5.07. - Action of council on petition.
Whenever the petition shall be found to be sufficient, the city manager shall so certify to the council at its
next meeting, stating the number of petitioners, and the percentage of the total number of voters which
they constitute, and the council shall at once read the measure and refer it to an appropriate council
committee, which may be a committee of the whole. The council committee or council shall thereupon
provide for public hearings upon the measure, after the holding of which the measure shall be finally acted
upon by the council not later than 65 days after the date upon which such measure was submitted to the
council by the city manager. If the council shall fail to pass the proposed measure, or shall pass it in a form
different from that set forth in the petition and unsatisfactory to four-fifths of the petitioners as shown by a
certificate filed by the petitioners with the city manager, the proposed measure shall be submitted by the
council to a vote at the next regular municipal election. But in case the number of signers of said petition is
equal to at least 15 percent of the total number of voters voting at the last regular municipal election, then
the council shall call a special election upon the measure to be held not less than 30 nor more than 45 days
after the date on which the council finally acts on the measure, or within the same time after passage of 65

days without final action, unless a regular election is to occur within three months, in which case it may be
submitted at such regular municipal election. In case the council passes the proposed measure with
amendments and at least four-fifths of the committee of petitioners do not express their dissatisfaction with
such amended form by a certificate filed with the city manager within ten days from the passage thereof by
the council, then the measure need not be submitted to the voters.
Sec. 5.08. - Initiative ballots.
The ballots used when voting upon any such proposed measure shall state the substance thereof
and shall give the voter the opportunity to vote either "yes" or "no." If a majority of the voters
voting on any such measure shall vote in favor thereof, it shall thereupon become an ordinance
or resolution of the city as the case may be. Any number of proposed measures may be voted
upon at the same election, but in case there shall be more than one, the voter shall be allowed to
vote for or against each separately.
In case of the simultaneous adoption of two initiated ordinances containing inconsistent
provisions, the one adopted by the larger majority shall prevail.
Sec. 5.09. - Initiation of Charter amendments.
Nothing in this Charter shall be construed as in any way affecting the right of the voters under the state
constitution and state law to propose amendments to this Charter.
REFERENDUM
Sec. 5.10. - The referendum.
If prior to the date when an ordinance takes effect, a petition signed by qualified voters of the city equal
in number to 15 percent of the total vote at the last regular municipal election be [is] filed with the city
manager requesting that any such measure, or any part thereof, be repealed or be submitted to a vote of
the voters, the said ordinance shall thereby be prevented from going into operation. The council shall
thereupon reconsider the said ordinance at its next regular meeting and either repeal the same, or repeal
the sections thereof to which objection has been raised by the petitioners, or, by aye [yes] and no vote,
reaffirm its adherence to the ordinance as passed. In the latter case the council shall immediately order an
election to be held thereon, pending which, the ordinance shall remain suspended. If a majority of the
voters voting thereon are opposed to the ordinance, it shall not become effective; but if a majority of the
voters voting thereon favor the ordinance, it shall go into effect immediately or on the date therein
specified.
Sec. 5.11. - Referendum petitions.
11/12/25, 4:28 PM Hopkins, MN Code of Ordinances
about:blank 4/8
The requirements laid down in sections 5.04 and 5.05 above as to the formation of committees for the
initiation of measures and as to the form of petitions and signature papers shall apply to the referendum as
far as possible, but with such verbal changes as may be necessary. A referendum petition shall read as
follows:

Charter for initiative ballots.
RECALL
Sec. 5.13. - The recall.
Any five voters may form themselves into a committee for the purpose of bringing about the recall of any
elected official of the city. The committee shall certify to the city manager the name of the official whose
removal is sought, a statement of the grounds for removal in not more than 250 words and their intention
to bring about his recall. A copy of this certificate shall be attached to each signature paper and no signature
paper shall be put into circulation previous to such certification.
Sec. 5.14. - Recall petitions.
The petition for the recall of any official shall consist of a certificate identical with that filed with the city
manager together with all the signature papers and affidavits thereto attached. It shall be signed by a
number of voters equal to at least 25 percent of the total number of votes cast at the last preceding regular
municipal election. All the signatures need not be on one signature paper, but the circulator of every such
paper shall make an affidavit that each signature appended to the paper is the genuine signature of the
person whose name it purports to be. Each signature paper shall be in substantially the following form:

Sec. 5.15. - Filing of petition.
Within 30 days after the filing of the original certificate, the committee shall file the completed petition in
the office of the city manager, who shall examine the same within the next five days, and if he finds it
irregular in any way, or finds that the number of signers is less than 25 percent of the total number of votes
cast at the last preceding regular municipal election, shall so notify one or more members of the committee.
The committee shall then be given ten days in which to file additional signature papers and to correct the
petition in all other respects, but they may not change the statement on the grounds upon which the recall
is sought. If at the end of that time the city manager finds the petition still insufficient or irregular, the
manager shall notify all members of the committee to that effect and shall file the petition in his office. No
further action shall be taken thereon.
RECALL ELECTION
Sec. 5.16. - Recall election.
11/12/25, 4:28 PM Hopkins, MN Code of Ordinances
about:blank 7/8
If the petition or amended petition be found sufficient, the city manager shall transmit it to the council
without delay, and shall also officially notify the person sought to be recalled of the sufficiency of the
petition and of the pending action. The council shall at its next meeting, by motion, provide for the holding
of a special recall election not less than 30 nor more than 45 days thereafter, provided that if any other
municipal election is to occur within 60 days after such meeting, the council may in its discretion provide for
the holding of the recall election at that time.
Sec. 5.17. - Procedure at recall election.
In the published call for the election, there shall be given the statement of the grounds for the recall and

Unless the official whose removal is sought shall have resigned within ten days after the receipt by the
council of the completed recall petition, the form of the ballot at such election shall be as near as may be:
"Shall A be recalled?", the name of the official whose recall is sought being inserted in place of A, and the
voters shall be permitted to vote separately "yes" or "no" upon this question.
Sec. 5.19. - Vacancy.
Any vacancy created by such resignation or recall shall be filled by the council in the same manner as any
other vacancy.
