This letter is a reminder that in my Mly 16, 1988, letter I requested that
you advise me in writing if there were any legislative charges affecting
the Charter Commission during this past legislative session.
As the date for our next scheduled meeting (September 28) is fast
approaching, I would appreciate a reply two weeks prior to that date.
Thank you.

Ms. Mary Heitzig, Chairperson
Brooklyn Center Charter Commission
3618 69th Avenue North
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55429
Dear Ms. Heitzig:
Attached please find a copy of the only new legislation change I
believe (as per League of Cities' research) affects charter
commission activities.
This is the only piece of information that Stan Peskar, the
general counsel for the League of Cities, has come across that
could have any kind of effect on charter commission activities.
However, there is a myriad of other changes in Minnesota State
Statutes that affect the operation of a charter city and one of
those is the new "truth in taxation" legislation. The League of
Cities, the League of Counties, School District Associations, and
others are still trying to analyze these new regulations and laws
1, to assess their impact on their operations. Its possible that
some of the dates in our city charter which relate to deadlines
for certifying taxes, etc. which may be affected by this new
legislation, but at this point in time no one is clear on what
than impact is.
Please be assured that we will keep monitoring the situation and
when and if these situations are clarified and we have a clear
understanding of their impact, I will contact you if there should
be any consideration of any changes in the city charter to match
the new legislation.
I'm sorry the answer to your question took as long as it did, but
one of the problems has been that this last legislative session
produced a number of different legislative actions which do not
have a clear and'concise, easily determined impact.
Thanking you for your patience and interest, I am,
Sin rely,
ral G. Splinter
