Re: District Boundaries Litigation
Funding for Attorneys' Fees and Costs
Dear John:
This is a formal request by the Saint Paul Charter Commission to
the St. Paul City Council, through your office, for additional
funding of legal expenses and costs being incurred by the Saint
Paul Charter Commission in the pending litigation in which it is
a party, involvinq the determination of the legal body having
authority to determine district boundaries for city elections as
- required by the City Charter. - -
The previous funding limit for this purpose was $10,000 .00, pur-
suant to the resolution of the Saint Paui Charter Commission,
dated December 18 , 1980, and the letter of agreement authorized
thereby, executed by the President of the Commission and Michael
J. Sheahan, legal counsel employed to represent the Commission
in such litigation..
The Saint Paul Charter Commission at its meeting today, passed a
resolution �requesting the additional funding necessary to com-
plete the pending litigation, which is now on appeal to the
Minnesota Supreme Court., and set a maximum of an additional
$5,000 .00 over and above the original $10,000.00 previously
funded, with additional funding over that new limit to require
prior approval by the Saint Paul Charter Commission.
You were present at the meeting of the Commission today, how-
ever, this letter will serve as official notice and as an
official request to the City Council for this additional funding
approved by the Commission today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yours very truly�
: �
Timot P. Quinn, President
Sain Paul Charter Commission
