Whets Appropriate:, to Ensure ualrty and Eff tient Service'' As all cities try to meet increasing service demands and declining State aids and other revenues, they will turn to each other to share information, equipment, expertise and personnel. Cooperative effort is not an unknown phenomenon in Mounds View. The City is part of a tri-city fire department, it shares the services of a Forester with the City of New Brighton and is a member of the mutual aid program with other suburban communities. However, a City's success is not based on only its relationships with other governmental entities. The successes of any community is dependent on the involvement of its citizens. Without citizen involvement, input of ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism, a City would not grow and flourish. In order to ensure a successful community, the City will pursue the following actions to include all our stakeholders. All of the goals identified herein highlight the dedication of the Council and Staff to the involvement of citizens of all ages in the decision-making process. • Shared equipment, personnel, expertise and technical. • Continued cooperative efforts with other government entities for improved efficiency and potential efforts for viability and financial advantages. • Continued participation in the Western Ramsey County Cities Cooperative Coalition -- an informal organization of the Cities of Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Arden Hills, Shoreview, St. Anthony, and Lauderdale committed to identifying and implementing areas of joint community cooperative activities. • Enhance and expand opportunities for citizen participation wherever and whenever possible.
