WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo believes that this is a <br />metropolitan and statewide problem as evidenced by the support of the <br />League of Minnesota Cities and Association of Metropolitan <br />Municipalities for careful legislative scrutiny of this issue and <br />support for restrictions on this power of the Municipal Board; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo believes that the situation has <br />already gotten out of hand and permanent harm is occurring to <br />municipalities with no benefit to the public economy in any way <br />whatsoever, <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elmo <br />wishes to state publicly for the benefit of any and all concerned <br />and, in particular, for the benefit of the Minnesota Legislature, <br />that it strongly supports any and all efforts to restrict authority <br />on the part of the Municipal Board to authorize detachments and <br />annexations based upon petitions of landowners pursuant to the <br />provisions of Minn. Stats. 414.061, subd.. 5, and <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elmo, Minnesota, <br />supports the repeal of the aforesaid provision and, in particular, <br />supports efforts of the legislature which would effect the purposes <br />stated in this resolution. <br />ADOPTED, by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo this 23rd <br />day of February, 1989. <br />Signed: <br />Attest: <br />Susan Dunn, Mayor <br />Patricia Morrison, City Administrator <br />
