Member Anderson introduced the following resolution and MOVED its adoption:
Resolution
(Support of Police Selection Standards
Study by the Metropolitan Area Management Association)
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Area Management Association has deter-
mined that there is a need for improved police recruitment and selection
procedures within the suburban metropolitan area, and
WHEREAS, this need for improved police recruitment and selection
procedures must be formalized in an extensive research study involving
various municipalities to validate the selection standards and to implement
the research study, and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Area Management Association realizes
that one municipality cannot effectively be expected to provide sponsorship
for the necessary research grant nor the customary cash match, and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council, being a governmental agency
representing all communities within the metropolitan area, has been asked
by MAMA to act only as the sponsoring agency of the grant;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Golden Valley
does hereby endorse and support the Police Selection Standards Project of
the Metropolitan Area Management Association; and does further endorse the
Metropolitan Council's sponsorship of a federal grant application on behalf
of the MAMA to implement the necessary study and research to accomplish the
objectives of this project.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley this 3rd
