moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 65 -36
RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ADOPTION OF SENATE FILE NUMBER 308
PERTAINING TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF STREETS,
ROADS. ETC.
WHEREAS, a bill for an act designated Senate File Number 308 has been
introduced in the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of said bill would impose unwarranted restrictions
upon the cities, villages, and borough of the State, and would unduly limit the
capacity of such political subdivisions to efficiently utilize their employees
and equipment in the best interest of their respective publics; and
WHEREAS, the imposition by the Legislature of additional restrictions
upon the governing bodies of the several political subdivisions violated the
concept of "home- rule" and thereby works against the assumption that the
people of a community are capable of determining the policies for their community,
said assumption being fundamental to the American philosophy of government:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village
of Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. That Senate File Number 308 is actively opposed and all representatives
to the Legislature of the State of Minnesota are called upon to work against its
adoption.
2. That copies of this resolution be certified to the Governor of the
State of Minnesota, the Chairman of the Senate Highways Committee, and to
the representatives of the Thirtieth Legislative District.
