BALLOT QUESTION 1 - City of Luverne (2026)

Shall the Luverne City Charter be amended to establish a new governing structure with a new layer of city government for the City's electric, water, and wastewater utilities by (1) creating a new five-member independent policymaking body to be called the Municipal Services Commission to consist of three elected members who must be City residents, one appointed representative of a large utility customer who need not be a City resident, and either a sitting Council Member or the City Administrator; (2) creating a new employment structure under which the Commission would employ a General Manager to supervise and manage the Commission's operations and employees and existing City staff with responsibilities for the City's utilities would be transferred to the authority of the Commission; and (3) transferring most of the City Council's existing responsibilities for the management, operation, and supervision of the City's utilities, including the authority to set utility rates, to the new Commission?

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
