PAUL; RAMSEY COUNTY DISTRICT COURT, JUDGE CASTRO'S RULING includes this: Petitioners brought this Petition in an effort to have this Court order that the Referendum be immediately placed on the municipal election ballot. This Court looks to § 8.05 which states that the ordinance which is subject of a referendum must be “suspended in its operation as soon as the petition is found sufficient.” The Charter specifically outlines the method by which a referendum must be brought. Here, there is no evidence in the record that the petition presented in October 2018 was deficient in anyway. Respondents concede that the petition was sufficient. Consequently, it was an improper exercise of power for the Council to refuse to place the Referendum on the November 2019 ballot. +1 -1 1 RLH TA 19-394 6/12/2019 10:11 AM Eric Lein   Against • ORD 18-39 (Chapter 220) should have been “suspended in its operation” (per City Charter Sec. 8.05) when the City Council adopted Resolution 18-1922 on November 14, 2018, “Finding the Petition for a referendum of ORD 18-39 is legally sufficient….” No trash bills are owed at this time in light of the properly-submitted and legally sufficient Petition. The city must legislate in good faith and carry out its obligations under the Charter. Petitioners filed a lawsuit in district court on February 7, 2019. On May 30, 2019, Judge Castro ruled that, “THE CITY COUNCIL DID NOT PROPERLY EXERCISE ITS AUTHORITY IN REFUSING TO HAVE ORDINANCE 18-39 PLACED ON THE BALLOT.” All collection activities and pending aszessments must be put on hold and/or laid over until: (1) The lawsuit, Clark vs. City of St. Paul, is decided pursuant to any and all appeals; and (2) Ord 18-39 is approved by voters in a referendum. +1 -1 1 RLH TA 19-364 6/12/2019 9:57 AM Eric Lein   Against • ORD 18-39 (Chapter 220) should have been “suspended in its operation” (per City Charter Sec. 8.05) when the City Council adopted Resolution 18-1922 on November 14, 2018, “Finding the Petition for a referendum of ORD 18-39 is legally sufficient….” No trash bills are owed at this time in light of the properly-submitted and legally sufficient Petition.
