#221 02-01-71 Committment ot Revenue SharingResolution No. 221 February 1, 1971
Member Ulstad introduced the following resolution and MOVED its adoption:
A RESOLUTION OF COMMITMENT
The Village Council of the Village of Golden Valley, Hennepin County,
Minnesota, hereby asserts that the immediate establishment of an adequate
and fair national revenue sharing system is the highest priority issue
confronting the government here in Minnesota and throughout America.
National revenue sharing is essential to preserve our federal system,
vital to the ability of state and local governments to set goals, make
decisions and be responsive to the needs of their citizens, and basic
to the resolution of the principal domestic problems confronting America.
As evidence of the urgency and high priority we assign to a national
revenue sharing system, we hereby publicly commit ourselves to actively
support both a realignment of our national priorities and a reallocation
of our resources to provide funds for revenue sharing. While we recognize
the continued need to utilize categorical aid to meet national objectives,
we would support a moratorium on new grant programs. And as further
evidence of our commitment, we would support, if necessary, such increases
in national taxes as are required to supplement existing funds.
Passed by the Village Council this lst day of February, 1971.
