Member Thompson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE INCREASE FOR DEPUTY REGISTRARS
WHEREAS, the 50 cent administrative fee for processing Department of Natural
Resources licenses such as boats and snowmobiles has not been increased since
1971 ; and
WHEREAS, the cost of living index (CIP) has increased more that 250% during
the past 24 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 registrars fee charge for handling motor
vehicle transactions has increased from $.75 to $3.50 during the same 24 year
time period; and
WHEREAS, the membership of the Plinnesota Deputy Registrars Association has
passed a resolution at their annual meeting requesting the administrative fees
for boats, snowmobiles and ATUs be increased to $3.50 for all services provided
by Deputy Registrars in Minnesota.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Golden Valley supports
legislation which will increase the administrative fees collected by Deputy
Registrars on DNR transactions from $.50 to $3.50.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Golden Valley
encourage the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) to adopt a similar policy as part
of their legislative program for 1995.
