f c West Hennepin Human Services Joint Powers Cities September 23, 1996 Mayor and City Council of Orono c/o Mr, Ronald Moorse, City Administrator P.O. Box 66 Cr>'stal Bay, MN 55323 Dear Mr. Moorse; SE? During the past weeks you have heard about the status of the West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board, also known as Suburban Alliance. Since July several of the city members of the joint powers agreement have worked to try to resolve the financial and fiinctional difficulties of Suburban Alliance. Unfortunately, it does not seem that Suburban Alliance can continue as an organization. At a September 5 meeting of the joint powers cities, a majority of the member cities (12 of 21 cities) reached consensus to recommend to the city councils to dissolve Suburban Alliance. Attached is a report on Suburban Alliance for your city council. The report spells out the legal and financial obligations of the joint powers cities. This report was reviewed with the Suburban Alliance Board of Directors on September 17, and they concur with the proposed plan. The report requests that your city council pass a resolution declaring intent to dissolve Suburban Alliance on January 31, 1997. \- We hope that you can sched’ action by your city council during October. Please forward a copy of the adop . ; ‘ * Kathy Lueckert, City of Plymouth, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, PI} ‘ . j5447. The financial obligations of the joint powers cities to pay the Suburban Alliance debt and close out costs are not insignificant. We are working diligently to identify the bottom line and determine the actual obligation of each city. We will forward the number to you as soon as practicable. Thank you for your cooperation. Please give us a call if you have questions. Steve Mielke Hopkins 939-1326 Geralyn Barone Minneto.nka 939-8200 Kathy Lueckert Plymouth 509-5052 Wally Wysopal St. Louis Park 924-2519
