NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this municipality opposes the imposition of any booking charge on January 1, 1981, pursuant to Resolution No. 80 -9 -719, and recommends that the Hennepin County Board take no further action prior to the completion of sufficient studies to determine where costs of the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center should properly be distributed; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that no action be taken by the Hennepin County Board in charging costs to this municipality prior to the completion of a study of the state law applicable to cost sharing in this context.
