HEIGHTS TO JOIN AN ENVIRONMENTAL
CITIES GROUP
WHEREAS, the City of Falcon Heights recognizes its leadership role
in protecting the environment of those people living and working within
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to complement the efforts
of the State and Federal governments in dealing with environmental con-
cerns; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that there is a need for governmental
bodies to act quickly on many of the environmental problems facing them;
and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that local environmental initiatives
often have a more immediate impact on the environment than those initia-
• tives passed at higher levels of government; and
WHEREAS, the City understands that there is a need by business,
other governmental bodies, and the public for uniform regulations across
the state, and
WHEREAS, the City believes that one way to obtain this type of
uniform regulation is to work closely with other cities in such a way as
to coordinate the environmental legislation passed in these cities; and
WHEREAS, the City also believes that this type of inter-city coop-
eration may act to stimulate state environmental legislation dealing
with the topics addressed by the cities and in a form acceptable to the
cities;
