INTRODUCTION Periodically in the history of any city there will be times when the electorate senses the need for reform. Except at those times, citizensrdre at most in- terested in either the personalities in their city government or the program that their city government should follow. Yet the processby -�h ieh decisions are made is every bit as important to the progress of the city as the people who are elected and the programs that are endorsed; So, like our office holders, the process of governmental decision - making should be regularly reviewed. A continuous review of our governmental processes can be expected to-assure the electorate that their wishes are not thwarted by an antiquated system and, additionally, can serve as a constant reminder of the relationship between city officials and the importance of the position held by each. Without this review and reminder, our elections could conceivably become a mockery of the democratic process, a carnival in which the excitement and intensity of campaign are wast- ed on the wrong job or jobs, while the system and its real sources of power go on uninterrupted., untouched, and impervious to the requirements of the times or the wishes of the citizens. As a part of the community survey undertaken by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Public Affairs Committee examined the process of governmental decision -. making in St. Paul and has reported its findings. Since our governmental structure is complicated, it is only natural that the report is lengthy, and, since it is a report and not an analysis, it is intended to serve as the basis for further inquiry. As aids in that study, we have attached a chart showing the relationship between the various "branches" of the "city government; a table showing 5 years of budget- making in the various city activities; and a table showing 5 years of estimated city revenues, Also appended are sections from the State Constitution applicable to St. Paul City Government. A summary of the report follows, briefly reviewing our city's governmental organization, legal authority, legal limitations and important recent develop- ments. The summary also lists ten questions on which time for extensive and concentrated study and analysis will be well spent by all people interested i, civic affairs. We urge you to read the report in full, both for the information it contains a nd the questions it will undoubtedly raise in your mind. 1 SUMMARY In 1912, the City of St. ?caul, operating under a Home Rule Charter, established its present system of government, a modified Commission Flan. As a result, we have a City Council consisting of an elected mayor and six elected commissioners. Each commissioner is the administrative head of a department., and the mayor is the chief executive of the city government, Our other elected official is the comptroller who,has considerable power through the control of the budget. The mayor as the chief executive of the city is responsible for enforcing all ordinances and laws of the city and f or the proper discharge of all official duties. It is the mayor that assigns the six commissioners to their departmental jobs, and he may re- assign them once, and only once, six months after the origin- al assignment is made. The mayor is president of the City Council, as well as a voting member.. Additionally, he has the power of veto, but that veto may be over -ruled by four votes, except on budget matters, where five votes are required. As Chief Executive of the city government, the mayor is a member of twenty city and metropolitan committees and an ex- officio member of 11 special committees. While each of the commissioners is equal in his legislative power, their respect- ive administrative jobs vary greatly from department to department. As a result, the budgetary responsibility varies, according to figures for 1958, from six million dollars for the Department of Public Safety to nine hundred thousand dollars for the Department of Libraries, Auditorium, Museums, and Stadia. The comptroller, with his charter -given power over the budget, is required to allocate'the expected revenues to each of the operating departments and provide for the payment of the city's obligations. The comptroller must work within the charter limitation that no more than $53.00 per capita may be collected from taxes on real and personal property, and the further restriction that all spend - ing4 regardless of the sDurce of income, may not exceed $65.00 per capita. The City Councilts power to adjust the comptroller's budget figures is limited to changing any item by 10", and the entire budget by 3 %. The sJ65.00 limit on spending is further broken down into a limitation of $25,50 per capita for schools and a $39.50 per cap .tal for the operation of government, The City Coun -,il, meeting every week -day, except Monday, it, the legislative body of the city, subject to the citizen's right cf initiative, referendum, and re- call. The Council has the power to tax, appropriate money, and generally conduct its business by means of ordinances and resulutions. It also has the right of eminent domain, the right to acquire property for the city, and to license and regulate :the sale of liquor. It is charged with the responsibility of suppressing gambling and vice, the control of the sale of firearms, and has the responsibility o:2 protecting the public health and taking action in matters involving public welfare. Currently reporting to the council are nine committees made up primar ily of council members and technical members of the city governmentts staff. ,2 The City of St. Paul is a city of the first class, and, although a Home Rule City, is a creation of the State Legislature. While the basic law of this city is its charter, neither the charter nor the laws and ordinances can be in conflict with the State Constitution. The legislature maintains sufficient m thority over the city to change laws within the city and to establish agencies such as the Metro- politan Airports Commission, which have authority in the city but are independent of its rule. We may amend our own charter through a process by which the City Charter Commission initiates amendments. Then a majority of 60% of the voters in a general or a special election is required for final ratification. Since 1953, there have been significant developments in our city's government. Important among these developments is the growth in number of ad hoc agencies, such as the Metropolitan Planning Commission, Mosquito Control Commission etc, which represent an attempt by the various metropolitan interests to solve their mutual problems by suggesting programs to be followed. Within our own city limits, the increased use of citizens committees, composed of people of varying interests, has aided in policy and planning decisions. We have seen an improved salary scale for our city officials which has made it possible for us to compete with other cities for well - trained professional and technical help and with private employment for our elected officials. We have recodified our city ordinances and are now proposing to unify our housing code, These developments are of a general nature and do not include the multitude of improvements made within each of the city's departments. Equal in importance to these governmental developments was the approval of the 39 million dollar bond issue which provided funds for major city public improvements and was responsible for St. Paults recognition as an All - American City, an award given for outstanding citizen initiative, far - reaching programs, progress and growth. The city may also claim to have made greater progress than any city of its size in urban- renewal programs. Since 1953, the only significant change in our city charter has been the am end. - ment of the taxing limit on real and persmal property to the present $53.00, and the amendment on the spending limit to the present $65.00. THE RECONL LADED ARFaS FOR FURTHER STUDY are represented by the following questions: (1) Are basic organizational changes in our city government necessary? The surtey brings out organizational defects, overlapping of work, and questions about the flow of responsibility. (2) (3) Should the present Constitutional 60% rule on Charter amendments be changed? (4) Should the present budgetary control of the Comptroller be changed? St. Paul is one of only 2 cities in the U.S. wherein the budgetary control is taken out of the Mayor's office and made a separate and distinct power of an officer not responsible to the Mayor. (5) Are all taxing authorities sufficiently responsible to the electorate? A number of ad -hoc agencies, such as the Metropolitan Airports Commission, The Metropolitan Planning Commission, the Sanitary District, are not direct - ly responsible to the people, although they have powers to tax for purposes of revenue. \ �3 •1 B (6) Is the present 2 -year term of office for city officials conducive to max- r4lah to assume? At present, candidates are chosen on the basis of popularity without regard for the particular job they may fill or the particular admin- istrative experience or abilities they have. (8) Should the Mayor and City Council be relieved of daily meetings so that more time can be given to administration? At present, Councilmen must act both as as legislators and administrators, making the minute decisions of administra- tive detail as well as deciding the larger ones of policy* (9) Is there a need for realignment of the functions of the cityls departments? A great deal of work is placed in the hands of only as few of the departments, while other departments have relatively little to do in way of policy or administration. (10) Should there be a continuing progr equa-'t,�1y meeting our needs by pert St. rJaul has no long range capital needs of the city in future years, ovements. or are we ad- \4 fi CD (a ol (a 0 0 m � A.�iM(D CD W o ��+. . c+ 0 a+ m 63 0 (D n 9 o 93 b � ca N t�D co QI ' ycn o ® I otl 23 -- of m H K CD 0 0 I 'z' co Kro C, C/i 4 � � '-d O C+ m �r ® tzj r 0 CO n C3 O oe ** * *A ry�w 'u' Q "S r ! m (D 0 s 03 O� A ti Q O• cn foo ya � � ► N mc � � m F.A. cz m e— 1 cn F°0 0 to N ~ W.
