STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM 3C <br />Linda Waite Smith <br />June 26, 2000 <br />TOPIC: Consider Adoption of Resolution 00-71 Declaring Lino Lakes' <br />Commitment to Join the "Minnesota Cities: Building Quality <br />Communities: Statewide Educational Effort <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In the past few years members of the League of Minnesota Cities have become <br />concerned about negative perceptions of city government. Believing that cities <br />are the means to "community," and major contributors to the quality of life in <br />Minnesota, the LMC Board of Directors worked with a public relations firm to <br />obtain candid feedback from citizens to determine what quality of life means to <br />them and how city government contributes to that quality of life. <br />From their findings, the LMC developed a program called Building Quality <br />Communities. The program's mission is to enhance the perception of Minnesota <br />city governments and city officials, to reinvigorate and increase citizen <br />involvement in city government and to reinstill a sense of pride in public service. <br />Presentations about the program were made at the LMC annual conference Iasi <br />week. The first step in joining the program is to adopt the attached resolution <br />affirming the city's participation. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve Resolution 00-71. <br />2. Decline to approve Resolution 00-71. <br />3. Return Resolution 00-71 to staff for revision. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option #1 <br />
