RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL BY THE
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER FROM THE FIVE CITIES SENIOR
TRANSPORTATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center is a signatory to that certain "Joint
Powers Agreement for the Establishment of the Five Cities Senior Transportation Project" (the
"JPA"), along with the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley,New Hope, and Robbinsdale; and
WHEREAS, the JPA was implemented in 1985 to address the lack of
transportation opportunities for seniors, and was thus intended to assist seniors in the five cities
with transportation needs to complement existing transportation programs by other area agencies
(the"Five Cities Project"); and
WHEREAS, over the years new and existing public senior transportation
programs now offer a variety of senior transportation services, resulting in the Five Cities Project
duplicating existing services; and
WHEREAS, Brooklyn Center's participation in the Five Cities Project is no
longer necessary to provide effective transportation services for seniors; and
WHEREAS, the JPA permits the withdrawal of a member city, upon notice to
the other member cities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that this resolution provides notice of the City's intent to withdraw
from the Five Cities Project effective as of July 30, 2014.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the city manager is directed to transmit this
Notice of Withdrawal to the other member cities, and is further directed to insure that Brooklyn
Center has met its full financial obligation to the Five Cities Project by the effective date of
withdrawal.
