g n - 3,1,
The following Resolution is hereby adopted by
Governing Body):
(Municipal
WHEREAS, The Hennepin County Board has adopted Resolution No. 80-9-719, pro-
viding for the payment of a booking charge of $58.00 for each individual
booked in Hennepin County Adult Detention Center against the committing jur-
isdiction in the amount of $58.00 per person to become effective January 1,
1981, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 80-9-719 further provides for a residential custody
charge per quarter day to be established and assessed against committing
jurisdictions effective January 1, 1982, and
WHEREAS, such charges would be unduly burdensome to this municipality,
and
WHEREAS, these charges would unfairly distribute costs to this municipality
based on the performance of its Police Department in executing warrants for
arrest that do not originate from this municipality's jurisdiction, and
WHEREAS, there has not been sufficient study completed of the statistical
breakdown of reasons for arrest (i.e., pursuant to warrant, violation of a
felony statute, violation of state misdemeanor statute, violation of local
ordinance), there is no accurate basis for determining the "committing jur-
isdiction" to be charged pursuant to Resolution No. 80-9-719.
BE IT RESOLVED, that this municipality opposes the imposition of any book-
ing charge on January 1, 1981, pursuant to Resolution No. 80-9-719, and
recommends that the Hennepin County Board take no further action prior to
the completion of sufficient studies to determine where costs of the Henn-
epin County Adult Detention Center should properly be distributed, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that no action be taken by the Hennepin County Board
in charging costs to this municipality prior to the completion of a study
of the state law applicable to cost -sharing in this context.
