Charter Commission

The Charter Commission holds their annual meeting in January or early February.

The City of St. Francis is looking for residents who are interested in participating in the governance of their community by serving on the Charter Commission. The City of St. Francis operates as a Home Rule Charter City.  A Home Rule Charter is similar to a local constitution, which studies the local charter and government in order to propose amendments to the City Charter.

Terms of the Charter Commission are four years in length as established by Minnesota Statutes 410.05 subd.2.  Meetings are held on an as needed basis; however, state law requires at least one meeting per year.
