Question #2 Title: Approval of Ordinance No. 1196 Amending the Fridley City Charter
On June 28, 2004, the City Council approved an Ordinance, reviewed and approved by the City's Charter Commission, that would amend the Fridley City
Charter to permit the City to pass through the full amount of any sewer, recycling and other utility charge increases at their actual cost to the City if those
exceeded the lesser of 5 % or the rate of inflation. The Fridley Charter currently would require voter approval of any such increase before it could become
effective. Expenses for any such utility cost increases would otherwise have to be born by other revenues of the City, including general property taxes. A
Petition objecting to the adopted ordinance signed by 460 voters was brought, suspending the Ordinance until the City Council could bring the matter to the
voters for their approvaL
