DATE: January 20, 2015

Introduction/Background
The City of Maplewood is a Plan B form of statutory city government. Any statutory city with a
population over 1,000 may adopt the Plan B form. The Plan B form of government is also known
as the council-manager plan. It consists of the elected mayor, four or six elected council
members, and an appointed city manager. Although the council retains legislative and policy-
making authority, administrative responsibilities (such as hiring and firing city employees) are
delegated to the city manager.
Kevin Frazell, Member Services Director at the League of Minnesota Cities, will be making a
presentation to council and staff on the Plan B form of statutory city government. Mr. Frazell will
review the policies and procedures that a Plan B form of government is required to follow.
