Joint Powers Cities <br />Report on Suburban Alliance, Page 5 <br />FUTURE OF HUMAN SERVICES PLANNING: The staflf of the joint p^^ers cities <br />and county staff feel strongly that there is a need for human services planning and <br />coordination in western Hennepin County. During the fall, the cities will begin discussions <br />with Hennepin County about creating a new entity to do human services planning and <br />coordination. The goal is to h?*'e this new structure in place by July 1997. We have <br />learned valuable lessons from this experience. It is likely that the new structure will have <br />the active involvement of staff and/or elected officials from the member cities. <br />Suburban Alliance provided a valuable service for over twenty years. However, the joint <br />powers cities welcome this opportunity to look at what human service needs exist in the <br />1990s, and examine the best way to meet these needs well into the next century. <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION: We recommend that the City Council adopt the attached <br />resolution which states the intent of the joint powers cities to dissolve the West Hennepin <br />Human Services Board effective December 31, 1996. Another resolution, formally <br />dissolving the organization, will be presented in December. <br />Should you have questions, please gi/e any of us a call: <br />Steve Mielke <br />Geralyn Barone <br />Kathy Lueckert <br />Wally Wysopal <br />Hopkins <br />Minnetonka <br />Plymouth <br />St. Louis Park <br />939-1326 <br />939-8200 <br />509-5052 <br />924-2519
