Moved by Robert Franklin to adopt Resolution #73-11 as follows: WHERAS, in
recent years there has been a proliferation of policies and laws emanating from
federal, state, county and metropolitan jurisdictions which have the effect of
transferring tremendous resources from suburban areas to inner city areas, and!
WHERAS, the suburban and outer community areas are divided, many in munber,
and without a cohesive and united organization to represent its interest, And
WHERAS, not having a cohesive organization, there does not exist research,
data, and staff wherein suburban area communities can defend and advance their
several interests, and WHEREAS, the inner cities have large staffs, full-time
councils and mayors, and many organizations continually emphasize t'e problems
and needs of the inner cities, and WHERAS, suburban area legislators, congress-
men, and other representatives lack proper data and support from their municipal
constituents and are therefore unable to effectively genresent the fair and
best interests of the suburban area citizens, and WHERAS, it is our belief that
we are responsible to see that our citizens receive fair and equitable consider-
ation in the legislative and policy making activities; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
HEREBY RESOLVED that the Village of -Medina supports and encourages that the
following steps be taken by the Hennepin County League of Municipalities Board
