RESOLUTION NO. 66 -316
RESOLUTION REGARDING PROPOSED EXPANSION PROGRAM
OF THE Y. M. C. A. MINNEAPOLIS
WHEREAS, the Minneapolis Y. M. C.A. has recently announced a
general plan for the expansion of facilities in the metropolitan area, thus
responding to the substantial growth of the city and suburban populations
in the past few years; and
WHEREAS, the commercial, industrial and residential development
of the northern area of Hennepin County has been such that the introduction
of Y. M. C.A. facilities into the area is both necessary and desirable; and
WHEREAS, the residents of Brooklyn Center and their Village Council
did, in 1961, demonstrate substantial interest in and support for the develop-
ment of Y. M. C.A. facilities in the north Hennepin area, resulting in a
resolution expressing the interest of the community being certified to the
Y. M. C.A. Board; and
WHEREAS, the recently announced ten year expansion program of the
Y. M. C.A. has once again brought to the fore the interest of Brooklyn Center
residents in the establishment of Y. M. C.A. facilities in the north Hennepin
area, and more specifically within Brooklyn Center itself; and
WHEREAS, the individual and family activities provided through the
Y. M. C.A. program would be compatible with, and complementary to, the
existing and planned recreation facilities and programs of the community
and surrounding area:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village
of Brooklyn Center, on behalf of the more than 31, 000 residents of the community,
that it hereby petitions the Board of Directors of the Minneapolis Y. M. C.A. to
consider seriously the early establishment of a branch facility in the north
Hennepin area, and further, to consider the many advantages accruing to the
establishment of this facility within Brooklyn Center.
