David H.. Hozza
June 23, 1978
Mr. David H. Hozza, President
Saint Paul City Council
719 City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Mr. Hozza:
In January of 1977, the Saint Paul Charter Commission commenced a study .
' of a proposal to extend the present two year term of office of the Mayor to
a four year term. A special committee of the Commission was appointed
and conducted numerous meetings, including a public hearing on April 25,
1977, prior to which public notice was circulated to all parties and organi-
zations indicating any interest in the subject.
The Commission, after full consideration of the committee report, on June
23, 1977, approved the committee's recommendation that the two year term
of the Mayor be extended to a four year term. Thereafter, on September 29,
1977, the Commission adopted a formal resolution recommending that the
proposed amendment to the Saint Paul City Charter be forwarded to the Saint
Paul City Council in June, 1978, recommending that the proposed amendment
be submitted to the electorate at the general election in 1978. This recom-
mendation is formally expressed in the Saint Paul Charter Commission reso-
lution attached hereto.
An ordinance is also attached hereto, p�epared by the Office of the City At-
torney, which will effectuate this recommendation in the event the City
Council concurs.
Yours very truly,
Timo y P. Quinn, President
Saint Paul Charter Commission

RESOLUTION
OF THE
SAINT PAUL CHARTER COMMISSION
�aHEREAS, the Charter Commission appointed a special Sub-
committee to Study a Four-Year Term for Mayor in January of
1977, which subcommittee met on March 1 and June 23 , 1977 , and
held a public hearing on April 25, 1977 ; and
WHEREAS, the subcommittee and Commission received testimony
and views of such persons and groups as the League of Women
Voters , Mayor George Latimer, Councilwoman Ruby Hunt , the North
End Business Club , Inc. , Saint Paul Chamber of Commerce, Saint
Paul Association of Building Owners and Managers , and many
others ; and
WHEREAS, it appears that there is significant support for
the extension of the present two-year term of the Mayor into a
four-year term, and that this support is based on the belief that
this will promote efficiency, effectiveness and consistency in
the executive leadership of the City of Saint Paul ; and
WHEREAS, the proposal for a change from a two-year to a four-
year term for Mayor is so fundamental as to make it appropriate
that the amendment be submitted to the electorate in accordance
with applic�.ble law; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Charter Commission recommends that the
City Council adopt the proposed ordinance attached hereto, which
ordinance provides for submission to the electorate of a charter
amendment increasing the term of office of the Mayor from two to
four years ; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the change so made be effective
at the beginning of the term next following the term in which
the charter amendment may be approved, as provided in the
attached ordinance.
