Ruling may be beginning of the end for Eagan charter group
A Scott County judge said the City Council, which had tried earlier to disband the effort, has the power to fill seven seats. The council will announce its picks next week. The days of the controversial Eagan Charter Commission may be numbered, after a judge released a ruling Tuesday that a majority of its members can be appointed by the Eagan City Council. Council members interviewed 21 applicants Tuesday night for seven seats on the Charter Commission that they were ordered to fill by Scott County Chief District Judge William Macklin. Mayor Mike Maguire took pains to inform the applicants that they weren't interviewing for the job of ending the commission, but to serve on it. "It's up to the commission to decide whether or not to disband it," he said.
