adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 75-84
I
RESOLUTION APPROVING MEMBERSHIP IN A SUBURBAN
HENNEPIN COUNTY MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION
WHEREAS, Minneapolis and Hennepin County elected officials have both
presented legislative programs to the Minnesota Legislature; and
WHEREAS, many of the items contained in these proposals will have the
effect of having suburban communities absorb additional Minneapolis tax burdens;
and
WHEREAS, Minneapolis now enjoys the position of having suburban tax-
payers subsidizing a sizable part of their present tax burdens; and
WHEREAS, an end must be put to indiscriminate sharing of Minneapolis
tax burdens throughout Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of all Hennepin County Suburban
Municipalities to organize and present a united front to ensure that this practice
is not continued; and
WHEREAS, it is also in our best interests to keep a watchful eye on
Hennepin County legislative proposals and day to day operations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that:
1 We endorse the idea that an organization of suburban
Hennepin County municipalities should be given further
consideration.
2. We hereby appoint Robert Jensen to represent our com-
munity in the discussions necessary to determine the
next step to be taken.
3. A copy of this resolution is to be sent to Jim Krautkremer,
Mayor of Brooklyn Park.
