The annual meeting was held on November 11, 2011. This was the only meeting held by the Charter Commission during 2011. At the annual meeting, no business of the Commission was brought forward, conducted, or initiated. I have attached the meeting agenda for your review. I would also like to advise you that there are four Commission appointees who have terms expiring in 2012. They are: • Ken Guenthner 6/16/2012 • George Gmach 6/16/2012 • Dorthy Theis 6/16/2012 (Ms. Theis has recently been re- appointed, term expiring 3/22/16) • Jim Tilbury 6/16/2012 The city has announced that these terms are expiring and has encouraged community members to apply to you and your office for appointment consideration. Sincerely, Dan Donahue City Administrator cc: file Charter Commission Member City Council Members CI'T'Y OF CORCORA N 8200 COUNTY ROAD 116, CORCORAN MN 55340 763.420.2288 — OFFICE 763.420.6056 — FAX E -mail — general &i.corcoran.m n. us / Web Site — www.ci.corcoran.mn.us To: Corcoran Charter Commissioners From: Dan Donahue Date: January 24, 2012 Subj : Terms of Appointment I am sending you a copy of the letter I recently sent to Judge James T. Swenson. This letter advises him of the Charter Commission business during 2012 (none) and the terms of four appointees to the Commission that are expiring on June 16, 2012. I have posted an announcement in the Crow Wing News inviting the Corcoran residents who are interested to apply for appointment. Such appointments are made by Judge Swensen. Interested citizens should write directly to Judge Swensen requesting an appointment for a four year term. Commissioners should note that SS 410.05, subd. 1 states that no person may serve more than two successive terms. I believe Ken Guenthner and George Gmach, whose terms are expiring this year, are currently serving their second successive term. They will not be able to re -apply for appointment. If Commissioners Tilbury and Theis are interested in re- applying, you may do so by sending Judge Swenson a letter requesting appointment. If there are any questions, please contact me.

In preparing our office to process these appointments and to update our records, we have a few questions: 1. How many members can serve on your city's charter commission? 2. Who are good contacts in your city for questions about the charter commission? 3. Does your commission currently have any vacancies? 4. When a position becomes available, do you post for applications? 5. Will you please send us a list of your current charter commission members with their expiration dates? Thank you so much for your assistance and we look forward to working with you in the future. Erin Lutz Law Clerk to Chief Judge Peter A.
