Waive the Second Reading of the proposed Ramsey County Commissioner’s Salary Ordinance for 2022
end
Background and Rationale
body
The Ramsey County Home Rule charter has provisions relating to compensation for the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners. According to the Ramsey County Home Rule Charter, each proposed ordinance shall receive two readings: first, at the time it is presented, and second, at the time of the public hearing as required by law. Both readings may be waived if a copy of the ordinance is supplied to each member of the County Board prior to its introduction.
In accordance with these requirements, the proposed Ramsey County Commissioner’s Salary Ordinance for 2022 was provided to each Commissioner prior to its introduction on May 18, 2021. Therefore, the second reading may be waived by duly made motion and majority vote.
The anticipated schedule of events to adopt the Salary Ordinance is as follows:
• May 18, 2021 - Waive First Reading of Ordinance
• May 18, 2021 - Set Public Hearing date of June 15, 2021
• June 15, 2021 - Waive Second Reading of Ordinance
• June 15, 2021 - Hold the Public Hearing
• June 22, 2021 - Action on Ordinance
