CROOKSTON CHARTER COMMISSION PLANS SEVERAL ELECTION TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AT NEXT MEETING IN APRIL

The Crookston Charter Commission met on Monday evening in the City Council Chambers but couldn’t do anything because of a lack of a quorum. 

The only members from the commission that showed up were Chris Fee, Blake Carlson, Frank Lindgren, and Mayor Dale Stainbrook.  The commission began planning its agenda for the next meeting, which they will move from December of 2023 to April 2023.  There will be three items up for discussion at the meeting in April, 2023.

The first topic will be the election of all council members to be completed in an At-Large format rather than individual Ward voting.

The second item to discuss was the creation of an ordinance that required seated City Council Members to resign their council spots if they choose to file for Mayor or another elected office.

The final item is a motion to reduce the number of City Council Members from eight to six members.

The Crookston Charter Commission will next again in April of 2023.
