In reviewing Section 10.06 of the City Charter it indicates that the Council shall by resolution,and ordinance if applicable, adopt the budgets and certify tax levies no later than twelve (12) days before the date requiring property tax levy certification in accordance with state law, for the ensuing fiscal year. Looking at Chapter six of the Charter entitled Legislative Procedures section 6.03.1, it reads that ordinances require an affirmative vote of at least four(4) members of the council. Section 6.03.3 entitled Resolutions,states that except as otherwise provided in this Charter,resolutions shall require an affirmative vote of at least four(4)members. Section 6.03.3,specifically refers to acts of council regarding budget adoption and revision,certification of the tax levy,emergency appropriations and other matters. The last sentence of Section 6.03.3 reads; "Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, resolutions shall require an affirmative vote of at least four(4)members." I have not researched the entire Charter to establish all the instances where greater than four(4)is required,but on a quick review I have found the following; Section 6.06 for Emergency ordinances a unanimous vote of all city council members is required, Section 7.07 requires an affirmative vote of five(5)members for a Special election,Section 10.06.01 (where this Commission had questions) AA-ADA-EEO Employer requires a unanimous vote of all of the members if there is a budget amendment prior to certification of tax levy,and Section 10.11 requires five(5)votes for the issuance of obligations. There certainly may be other instances where there is a requirement of more than four(4) votes. The Council's authority relative to budget issues comes from the city Administrative Code sections 56 and 57 which I have provided. In reading the minutes from the November 21, 2005, meeting of the Charter Commission, in conjunction with the letter that I received from the Chair of the Commission, my understanding is that the Commission's question is how many votes are required for the council to enact tax legislation. The answer is that a vote of four (4) members of the council is needed to adopt the budget and to certify the tax levy. In the event there is to be a revision of the budget after its adoption,but prior to certification of tax levy,the council by resolution adopted by unanimous vote of all of its members following a public hearing for that purpose,may amend the budgets,provided, however,that the council may not reduce the appropriations for any debt service or for meeting any existing obligations of the city. I hope this sufficiently answers your questions. Since ly, dith A. Hanson Assistant City Attorney City of Saint Paul AA-ADA-EEO Employer 21 January 2006 Ms. Judy Hanson Saint Paul City Attorney 400 City Hall Saint Paul, MN 55102 Dear Ms. Hanson, At the November 21, 2005 meeting of the St. Paul Charter Commission, the Commission requested an opinion from the City Attorney's Office on the following question: It appears that read together, Charter Sec. 10.06.1 and Sec. 11.04 requires a unanimous vote of the City Council in order to increase taxes. However, under current Council practices, only a majority vote is required. Is this an example of a situation where state statute would supercede the Charter or are current Council practices in violation of the Charter? Thank you, in advance, for your assistance with our inquiry.
