Member Teresi introduced the following resolution and MOVED its
adoption:
RESOLUTION URGING THE CREATION OF A REGIONAL LEAGUE
OF MUNICIPALITIES FOR THE SEVEN COUNTY METROPOLITAN AREA
WHEREAS, problems created by the rapid growth of our Seven County
Metropolitan Area, are becoming increasingly common to all, rather than
unique to some municipalities; and
WHEREAS, an adequate, efficient, and judicious solution to these
problems requires joint effort on the part of governmental units in the
Seven County Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, many of our common problems require a legislative solution,
as well as uniform action and coordination on the local level; and
WHEREAS, no adequate organization presently exists which is equipped
to sufficiently represent the unique situation in which the Seven County
Metropolitan Area finds itself; and
WHEREAS, experience has shown in recent years that the Ramsey and
Hennepin County Leagues of Municipalities have made great strides towards
inter -municipal cooperation and joint impact on the Minnesota State
Legislature;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the
Hennepin County League of Municipalities propose that negotiations commence
immediately with municipalities in the Seven County Area for the creation of
a Regional League of Municipalities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Hennepin County League of Municipalities
invite the Ramsey County League of Municipalities to jointly call a meeting of
officials from the Seven County Area to begin discussion of this proposed
League. r � ,. n
