The Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Saint Paul City Council
c/o Th� City Clerk
Third Floor, City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 551Q2
Dear Mayor Latimer and Members of the City Council:
On October 19 , 1981 , the Saint Paul Charter Commission, at a meeting
at which there was a quorum (twelve mennbers present) , unanimously
adopted the enclosed resolution dividing the City of Saint Paul into
seven contiguous districts of substantially equal population and
numbering said districts serially from one to seven, inclusive.
Said resolution was adopted after public hearings on said district-
ing which were held over the past many months. These public
hearings were held after published notice of said hearings and
members of the public had the opportunity to speak, and did speak,
upon the districting proposals.
This districting resolution is beinq filed today in the Office of
the City Clerk, this date being sixty days prior to the day on which
filings open for the first City primary election occurring after the
1980 City election.
The procedures described above for dividing the City into seven
contiguous districts, the conduct of public hearings after notice,
and the adoption of the enclosed districting resolution were done in
accordance with and pursuant to Section 4 .01 .02 of the Saint Paul
City Charter, said Section being part of the amendment of the Saint
Paul City Charter made by the voters at the general election held on
November 4 , 1980 .
Upon the filinq of the attached districting resolution, and this
notice, the division of the City into seven contiguous districts
will have been accomplished and will become effective.

The members of the Charter Commission wish to express their appre-
ciation to Mr. John Connelly, Director of the Council Research
Center for the City of Saint Paul, and his staff, for the excellent
cooperation received from them by the Commission and the Redistrict-
ing Subcommittee, and the considerable time and effort which Mr.
Connelly and his staff expended in obtaining all information
required by the Commission to perform the task assigned to it by the
voters of the City.
Significant savings to the taxpayers were made by using the exten-
sive experience and talent of Mr. Connelly and his staff which was
available for this task, so that it was not necessary for the
Commission to engage outside "experts" to advise the Commission.
Yours very truly,
. Timo y P. Quinn, President
