RESOLUTION SUPPORTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE INCREASE
FOR DEPUTY REGISTRARS
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature has not increased the 50 cent admin-
istrative fee for processing Department of Natural Resources licenses such as
boats and snowmobiles since 1971; and,
WHEREAS, the cost of living index (CPI) has increased more than 20% during
the past 20 years; and,
WHEREAS, public and private deputy registrars which provide DNR license
services to the public lose money on each transaction because the administrative
fee has failed to keep pace with inflation; and,
WHEREAS, the administrative deputy registrar's fee charge for handling
motor vehicle transactions has increased from .75% to $3.50 during the same 20
year time period; and,
WHEREAS, the membership of the Minnesota Deputy Registrars Association has
passed a resolution at their annual meeting requesting the administrative fees
for boats and snowmobiles be increased to $3.50.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Golden
Valley support legislation that will increase the administrative fees to $3.50
for all services provided by Deputy Registrars in Minnesota.
