Mayor’s Message — Home Rule Charter, donations - Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch

Sleepy Eye stands out among the cities in Minnesota as one of the 107 Home Rule Charter Cities, out of the 853 cities in the state. The citizens of Sleepy Eye adopted a charter, essentially a local constitution, approved by our voters at a special election on Dec. 23, 1903, and it has since undergone several amendments to adapt to changing times and needs.
