The revised ordinance is patterned after the League of Cities Animal Ordinance and incorporates current regulations on animals included in the City zoning ordinance. The ordinance prohibits wild animals within the City, and places many of the same regulations for dogs on cats and other animals. There are certain blanks left in the ordinance where the amount of certain permits and fees is listed. It will be up to the Council to determine what these fees should be. I have also left a section of the penalty provisions with blanks in case the Council would like to specify that certain specific sections be petty misdemeanors instead of misdemeanors. I will be available to discuss the proposed ordinance at the City Council meeting on Monday evening. Very urs, ndrew J. acArthu COURI MACARTHUR Encl.

IN FAVOR: OPPOSED: ATTEST: are petty day of December, 2003 by the Otsego City Council, Wright Judy Hudson, City Clerk Larry Fournier, Mayor 15 Memo To: City of Otsego From: David R. Wendorf Date: 12/4/2003 Re: Authority for a Statutory City to Adopt a Ward Election System Our office received an inquiry concerning the legal authority and procedure for a statutory city to adopt a ward election system. I was unable to find any specific statutory authority for a statutory city to adopt a ward system. Most references to ward systems relate home rule charter cities. I did contact the League of Minnesota Cities research department to see if they were aware of any such authority. They indicated that they were not aware of any authority that applied to statutory cities. I next did some online research on Minnesota statutory cities to determine if any were using a ward system. I obviously did not check every statutory city in Minnesota but I did discover four statutory cities using a ward system. I contacted those cities to determine how they became ward system cities. The Cities of Elk River and Hibbing became ward cities as a result of annexation and consolidation agreements. The municipal incorporation, consolidation and annexation by order statutes all contain a specific provision by which a ward system may be established as part of those processes. The City of St. Peter went back in its records to 1905 and determined that it has always had a ward system. The City of Chaska as of the date of this memo has not yet responded. The City of Otsego at the time of its incorporation could have requested that a ward system be included in the incorporation order. The City's order does not contain the ward system establishment language and therefore, Otsego has an at large election system like most statutory cities. A charter city may have a ward system by operation of the terms of its charter. A charter is a body of law developed by the city for the regulation of all municipal functions including elections. Charters typically provide for the establishment and administration of all departments of city government. Charters generally may provide for any scheme of municipal government not inconsistent with the state constitution and Minnesota Statutes Chapter 410.

I have also enclosed a description of each project. These projects are in addition to the normal flow of work, which would include expected projects such as East Waterfront development, West Sewer & Water System Construction, Hiring a Building Inspector, etc. I would like Council to review the list, add or delete any projects, and determine the priorities for 2004. Prioritizing this list makes everyone aware of the priorities and allows staff to focus on their top priority project until it is done. Council can obviously change the priority of any project at any time.
