Article IV of the charter does provide for residents to place referenda for ordinances on the ballot. If enough residents feel a change is ap- propriate for the current council/manager model, they certainly have the power to do that. Councilors also can recommend and have char- ter revisions put up for popular vote, which means that communicat- ing with your councilors is crucial to getting your voice heard. Ultimately, the council has to find ways to engage Seminole resi- dents to participate more.

Praise for Seminole city manager Editor: It must be election time in Seminole because once again Tom Christy has submitted his name for a position on the City Council. The voters of Seminole have rejected him four times already. Maybe it’s be- cause he runs a negative campaign every time. This time his argument is that the city manager form of government is the wrong way to run this city. After almost 20 years as a city man- ager, Mr. Frank Edmunds has moved the sleepy city into a vibrant and attractive community to live in, work in and to educate our children in. He has also brought in many new businesses, which enhance the quality of life in our city. Over the last four years he has cut about $3 million from the city budget without changing any service to our residents. In 2008 the economy took a nosedive, but Mr. Edmunds kept the city in the black while many cities around us were cutting services. He has put together a great staff of department leaders who help Mr. Edmunds run our city like a Swiss clock. At the council meeting of Aug. 12, many of the city business leaders praised Mr. Edmunds for this great work and implored him to please reconsider his retirement option, which he did, and he will stay with us until August 2015. If the voters of Seminole feel that many of the business leaders are Photo by THOMAS MICHALSKI correct in praising Mr. Edmunds for his great work and service to our Many tiny North Dakota towns such as Warwick are falling to the wayside as people move to find better opportunities. community, as I do, then let Tom Christy know by passing over his name on the ballot in November.
