O�FtCE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
February 2, 1976 PIERRE N. REGiVIER �
To the Saint Paul .
City Charter Commission: �
Re: Fina1 Draft, Amendments to City Charter Proviciing . .
� for Electiou of Couricilmen from Thirteen Distriets
Enclosed is the final draft of the proposed amen�ments
to the City Charter pertaining to the establishment of
thirteen council districts in the City ;o� Saint Paul. �
This final draft incorporates the amendments to the �
� fourth draft requested by the Charter Com�issian at ,
` : its January 30, i976 meeting. This Y�.�:al draft also _
. contain.s further changes as described "below. The changes _ •
included within this �inal draFt are as follows:
1. At the request of the Secretary, I Mave included
a title at the top of the draf t as �ollows :
��Amendments to Saint Pau1 City Charter Providing
for the Election of Thirteen Councilmen from
� Thirteen Council Districts. " � " ,
. 2. The sections in several places were rearranged
since the fourth draft did not have the amen,dmen�s
to the particular sections a� the City Charter in
the order in which those sections appear in the -
City Charter. For instance, Sections 9 tl�rougY�
12 dealt with Chapter 6 of the Ch'arter, and they
came after Section 6, which dealt. with Chapter 7.
, This change was only made for elarification pur-
poses so that the provisions will �,ollow in the
proper sequential order.
3. Section 6, which is an amendment to Section 4. 04 -
of the City Cha'rter, was inaclvertently omitted from
the previous dra�t following your instructions #;o �
amencl all sections which refer to four couneilmen� _
so as to specify seven counci.lmen. There�ore , in
conformance with the rest of the amendments con-
tained herein, this amendment provides that special

, ' �
Charter Commission �
Page Two
February 2, 1976
meetings of the Council can only be called on the
� written request signed by seven councilmen, rather
than four couneilmen, as the Charter presentiy
provides. It is my opinion that thzs ehange does _
not necessitate a furthe r� Charter Commission meeting
to approve , sinc.e it is merely bringing the eharter
. - in conformance with the previous vate o� the' Charter
Commission, ��hicYi was to change all sections of the �
Charter s�hich refer to four councilmen so that they
will now refer to seven councilmen.
� 4. Section 10 is a ne« amendment to Se�ction 6.06 of
the Charter,, providing that. emergency ardinances
can only be adopted by an aff irmative vote of twelve
. � members of the counail, rather than a unanimous vote,
as presently requir.ed. ._ .
5, Section 16 is an amendment to Sectior� 10.07.2, so
� as to provide that a resolution makzna appropriations
to meet a public emergency requires the affirmative
vote of 12 members of the eouncil, rath�r than a
unanimous vote , as presently required. �
Puxsuant to the vote of the Charter Commissi.on on January
30, 1976, this final draft should now be delivered to the
City Council by the Secretary of the Charter Commission. _
I would suggest that the delicery be made by a le tter
addressed to the Council President and the City Clerk,
enciosin� a copy of this final draft. This matter will
then appear on the April 27, 1976 balYot following �ull
. . publication of this �inal draft in the Legal Ledger once
a week for two successive treeks. I will assist the City
Clerk in preparing the proper lan�uage for placing th is
matter on the general election bailot.
If you have any questions �vith regard to this matter,
please feel free to contact me at any time .
Yours truly, .
