Overview: During a recent Minneapolis City Council meeting, discussions focused on proposed amendments to the city’s charter concerning government structure, specifically the confirmation of staff positions by the City Council. The Government Structure Work Group has been scrutinizing a draft amendment to align the charter with the city ordinance, particularly addressing which departmental heads require council confirmation. This topic, deemed significant, prompted the suggestion of a joint meeting with the Mayor and City Council to gather their feedback. The group is preparing questions for these officials.
