RESOLUTION NO. 71 -48
RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ADOPTION OF SENATE FILE 210

BOND ISSUES
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature has established a long and
enviable tradition of fostering grass -roots participation in government through
the home rule concept of local government; and

that the limiting provisions of Senate File 210 and House File 122 seriously
infringe upon the home rule concept and the tradition of self determination;
and
WHEREAS, there is no apparent substantial evidence that municipal
governments in Minnesota have engaged in unreasonable bond issue resub-
mission practices:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. The City Council opposes the provisions of Senate File 210
and House File 122 as a blanket infringement upon the con-
cept of home rule and local self- determination.
2. The Representatives of the people of Brooklyn Center are
herewith called upon to oppose the adoption of this
legislation and the Clerk is hereby directed to transmit
copies of this resolution to the aforementioned Representatives,
to the Chairmen of the appropriate legislative committees,
