A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF <br />COOPERATIVE EFFORTS AMONG THE <br />LAKE AREA CITIES <br />TO MEET THE AREA ’S HOUSING NEEDS <br />WHEREAS, the Lake Area Cities have conducted a joint housing study to provide <br />information regarding housing in the lake area; and <br />WHEREAS, representatives from the Lake Area Cities met in a housing workshop on May <br />20, 1999 to discuss the potential for cooperative efforts to meet the area's housing needs; and <br />WHEREAS, the workshop showed that the Lake Area Cities would gain many benefits <br />through the provision of a supply of quality housing with a range of housing types and costs. These <br />benefits include; <br />• A diverse housing supply will be better able to meet the housing needs of our <br />communities, both now and in the future. <br />• Our children and our parents would be able to remain in our communities as they <br />move through the various stages of their lives. <br />• A diverse supply of housing, that meets the needs of employees, provides a <br />competitive advantage to our local businesses, as well as to our cities and schools, <br />in their efforts to recruit and retain quality employees. <br />WHEREAS, the consensus at the conclusion of the housing workshop was that the Lake <br />Area Cities should continue to explore the potential for cooperative housing efforts; and <br />WHEREAS, representatives of the Lake Area Cities met again on September 23, 1999 to <br />develop a Statement of Purpose to guide cooperative housing efforts in the lake area, and <br />Page 1 of2
