Mt-mOPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />Mean Park Centre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 <br />612 29U359 TDD 612 291-0904 <br />DATKt <br />TOi <br />October ll, 1993 <br />l.ake Area City Administrators/Managcrs <br />FKOMt Kay Zweroik <br />SUBJECTt Sample Resolution <br />At the last meeting of the Steering Committee on September 23 we discussed the grant application <br />progress to date. You thought, at that time, that it would make the most sense for the Metropolitan <br />Council to apply for the grants on behalf of all the cities. I learned very quickly that the <br />Metropolitan Council is not digible to apply on behalf of the dties and that the appUcationi would <br />be much stronger if all 14 dties applied the grants. <br />Therefore, at the Personnel Work Group I discussed with the five city administrators present the <br />dilemma aiod how we sbould proceed. The consensus of that group was that each city could adopt <br />a resolution avpportliig in coaetpt the submissioo of the three grants. In consultation with a man <br />in the State Auditors ofEce and Jim Hurm, 1 am sending to you the resolution for your City Counefl <br />to consider. The adoption of this resolution must happen during the month of October as the grants <br />must be submitted on November S. I will need a co[^ of each city’s resolution. <br />Hiere is nothing new in the resolution, llte three areas in which we will submit grant applications <br />are included in the tlx service areas outline in the agreement already signed by each of the citlea. <br />This resolution does not commit any city to mandatory participation in the planning or service sharing <br />if one or more grants are receivi^ Flexibility wiU still be maintained, This resolutioo is only <br />providing support to the concept of submitting grants in the areas of recreation services, public safety <br />and personnel management services. <br />If you have any questions, please call me.
