2008 Minneapolis City DFL Endorsing Convention

Edison High School
700 22nd Ave NE

Convention convenes at 10am

Main Agenda items

Committee Information

Pre-convention committee meetings will be at Edison High School on Wed May 7th, 7:00pm.
Edison is at 700 22nd AV NE, and is just 3 blocks west of Central AV ( the #10 bus runs on Central).

The Call stipulates that the Convention will consider Resolutions.
Officially, the resolutions must have been passed by a Precinct Caucus somewhere in Minneapolis, or else they have to be presented to the Convention with signatures from 5% of the Delegates. But the Convention usually isn't very strict about that -- generally they will consider any resolutions that are presented. Presenting them to the Committee beforehand probably helps. There are likely to be at least two resolutions presented about the two Referendas on the November Ballot -- one about extra property taxes to keep class sizes small, and one about the Legislature bill to change the Board to 6 District seats and 3 at-large. People are likely to present Resolutions asking the DFL to endorse or oppose these.

City Delegate Lists from 2006 are available from the Minneapolis DFL Party, for a fee to cover the expenses of maintaining these lists. Fees are: 15� per name for anyone, 10� per name for declared Minneapolis School Board candidates, and free for endorsed candidates.

Lists available are:
2006 Delegates & Alternates: 1578 names, 97% with phone, 66% with emails.
2006 Delegates only: 1080 names, 97% with phone, 68% with emails.
2006 City Convention Attendees: 690 names, 100% with phone, 70% with emails.
Contact City Treasurer Tim Bonham t-bonham@scc.net (or phone 612-721-1007) to obtain a copy of these lists.
City Delegates are chosen at Precinct Caucuses.
These are separate from the Senate District and Hennepin County delegates. They endorse candidates for the Minneapolis School Board. There is one City delegate for every 4 Senate District deletates.
For specific numbers for each ward and precinct, see City Delegate Numbers.
