REPORT FROM THE OFFICERS
Mr. Sheridan said he had tried to get in touch with Mr. Herrick but he
n has been in court. Mr. Herrick had left a call with Mr. Sheridan's
• secretary on January 9, but he had not heard from him since. Mr. Sheridan
said he would coiItact Virgil Herrick and ask him to attend the meeting
in February.
Mr. Bjerkesett asked if they were going to follow the original concept
of having people come in that showed an interest of coming before the
Commission. Mr. Sheridan said they would, and they could set up a time
•
schedule for these representatives to come in and share their concerns.
He said that the legal department could answer some of the questions the
Charter Commission had in mind.
Jackie Johnson said she would check with Richfield concerning their legal
department. She said she would like some help from the Commission as to
what type of questions she should approach them with. Mr. Bjerkesett
said she could ask how they handle their own legal department and get an
idea of what they are doing. Mr. Sheridan added asking what their yearly
budget is and if they have a full time legal department. Is their attorney
on the payroll and do they have any problems? Mrs. Johnson said
Brooklyn Center and Maplewood were a few possibilities to look into.
Mr. Sheridan said Mr. Herrick may know the answers to some of these questions.
He would contact Mr. Herrick and then get back to Mrs. 'Johnson.
DISCUSSION OF CALENDAR SCHEDULE
The Commission discussed the possibility of setting up a schedule for the
coming months for interested groups concerning the Charter. The Commission
decided on the calendar as follows:

could make copies of these notices that will be sent to the people above.
Each member of the Charter Commission will receive a copy and can send it
to the individual(s) they would like to invite, so noone will be neglected.
This letter will be sent out with the minutes and the Charter Commission
will receive it as correspondence at the next meeting. Mr. Sheridan
commented that this would be an open meeting. Mr. Sheridan said a notice
should be put in the paper and he would handle that.
Mr. Bjerkesett felt that the groups had looked at everything and they

the people that are on the Committees and be included with the minutes.

a change in the wording to Shall for primary elections.
Mr. Sheridan asked if there was any new or unfinished business? He
said he would not be present at the February meeting since he will be
