MEMORANDUM
TO: James Antonen,
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, Director Citizen Services
DATE: February 23, 2011
SUBJECT: Discussion on Odd and Even Year Elections
Background
A change in State Law (205.065) in 2010 moved the State Primary from September to August of
any given year which necessitates a change of our current ordinance to reflect the change in
State law. Currently the city conducts elections in the odd year to elect city council members.
In November of 2010, the city council discussed amending the city ordinance changing the year
of our municipal elections to even year.
Following is the State Law for your review pertaining to city elections and changing the year of
the election:
205.07 CITY GENERAL ELECTION.
NEW LANGUAGE 2010
Date of election.
Subdivision 1. The municipal general election in each city shall be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in November in every even-numbered year. Notwithstanding any provision
of law to the contrary and subject to the provisions of this section, the governing body of a city may, by
ordinance passed at a regular meeting held before June 1 of any year, elect to hold the election on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each odd-numbered year. A city may hold elections in
either the even-numbered year or the odd-numbered year, but not both. When a city changes its elections
from one year to another, and does not provide for the expiration of terms by ordinance, the term of an
incumbent expiring at a time when no municipal election is held in the months immediately prior to
expiration is extended until the date for taking office following the next scheduled municipal election. If the
change results in having three council members to be elected at a succeeding election, the two
individuals receiving the highest vote shall serve for terms of four years and the individual receiving the
third highest number of votes shall serve for a term of two years. To provide an orderly transition to the
odd or even year election plan, the governing body of the city may adopt supplementary ordinances
regulating initial elections and officers to be chosen at the elections and shortening or lengthening the
terms of incumbents and those elected at the initial election. The term of office for the mayor may be
either two or four years. The term of office of council members is four years. Whenever the time of the
municipal election is changed, the city clerk immediately shall notify in writing the county auditor and
secretary of state of the change of date. Thereafter the municipal general election shall be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each odd-numbered or even-numbered year until the
ordinance is revoked and notification of the change is made. A municipal general election scheduled to
be held in an odd-numbered year may be postponed for inclement weather as provided in section
205.105.
City council members; expiration of terms.
Subd. 1a. The terms of all city council members of
charter members of charter cities expire on the first Monday in January of the year in which they expire.
Subd. 2. Repealed, 1976 c 44 s 70
Effect of ordinance
Subd. 3. ; referendum. An ordinance changing the year of the municipal election
is effective 240 days after passage and publication or at a later date fixed in the ordinance. Within 180
days after passage and publication of the ordinance, a petition requesting a referendum on the ordinance
may be filed with the city clerk. The petition shall be signed by eligible voters equal in number to ten
percent of the total number of votes cast in the city at the last municipal general election. If the requisite
petition is filed within the prescribed period, the ordinance shall not become effective until it is approved
by a majority of the voters voting on the question at a general or special election held at least 60 days
after submission of the petition. If the petition is filed, the governing body may reconsider its action in
adopting the ordinance.
History:
1959 c 675 art 6 s 7; 1973 c 123 art 3 s 4; 1974 c 337 s 3; 1976 c 44 s 5; 1981 c 29 art 7 s 38;
1983 c 62 s 3; 1986 c 444; 1991 c 227 s 19,20; 1994 c 646 s 6; 1995 c 8 s 5; 2010 c 201 s 58, 59
Including having a first and second reading, it would take approximately nine months for an
ordinance to be in place changing the year of our municipal election from odd to even year. The
first election would then occur in 2012 and the terms of the mayor and council member seats
would be extended as follows:
Mayor Rossbach Term extended to December 31, 2014 (January 5, 2015)
Councilmember Juenemann Term extended to December 31, 2014 (January 5, 2015)
Councilmember Llanas Term extended to December 31, 2014 (January 5, 2015)
Councilmember Elected in 2011 Term could be set as a three year or a five year term
Councilmember Elected in 2011 Term could be set as a three year or a five year term
In addition to conducting State, Federal and Local elections, the Elections Division also
conducts our school district elections for the school district precincts that exist in our city.
Regardless if the City has odd or even year elections, City staff would still be conducting
elections annually. Aside from administrative cost, the majority of the costs would be
reimbursed by the School District(s).
Workshop Agenda Item E2
WORKSHOP AGENDA REPORT
TO
: City Council
FROM:
Chuck Bethel, City Attorney for HR/Labor Relations
SUBJECT:
City Manager Performance Review
DATE:
February 22, 2011
INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY
As Jim Antonen, our City Manager, is now completing his second year of service (he started
March 9, 2009) it is time to do an annual review of his performance.I have provided you with
performance evaluation forms to use at this workshop as a tool to measure the performance of
theCity Manager for the past year(a copyof the form is also attached hereto).The forms
provided are the same forms that were used at the annual review last year and have not been
changed,except for the dates.At the workshop, I will be available to briefly summarize each
subject to be reviewed if desired, and then you may proceed with your discussion and evaluation
of that subject.
Finally, pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05 Subd.3 (a)you may close this workshop to
conduct your evaluation. The statute reads in relevant part:
“A publicbody may close a meeting to evaluate the performance of an individual who is
subject to its authority.The public body shall identify the individual to be evaluated prior
to closing a meeting.At its next open meeting, the public body shall summarize its
conclusions regarding the evaluation.A meeting must be open at the request of the
individual who is the subject of the meeting.”
You did choose to close the annual review workshop last year. I believe the idea was that a
closed session would allow for a more free flow of discussion.Remember that if you choose to
close the workshop for the evaluation, that upon re-opening the meeting and/or at the next
council meeting the conclusions reached during the evaluation must be summarized for the
record in that next open meeting.
