ADMINISTRATIVE <br />.� NEWSLETTER <br />May 29, 1984 City of Mounds View VOL. IV, NO. 9 <br />MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION <br />On Wednesday, May 23rd the Operating Committee of the Municipal <br />Legislative Commission,of which I am a member met at the Plymouth <br />City Hall and discussed several items. These are as follows: <br />a) Proposals for representation: The Commission <br />received proposals from Larkin Hoffman,Daly & <br />Lindgren Ltd. for representation of the Commission <br />as our lobbyist and from Christopher Miller & <br />Company and Media Services, Inc. for public relations <br />services. These firms are currently under contract <br />with the Commission for these services and their <br />proposals were to continue service for the next <br />eighteen months. A sub -committee made up of five <br />members of the Operating Committee including myself <br />were appointed to review these proposals and submit <br />recommendation to the full Operating Committee for <br />their review and approval prior to submission to the <br />Board of Directors. This sub -committee will be meeting <br />on June 4 to review these proposals in greater detail <br />and discuss the need for the services of all of these <br />firms. <br />b) Appointments to a Regional Transit Board and <br />Metropoiitan Agencies: Tne Committee discussed in <br />great detail the advisability of the Municipal <br />Legislative Commission endorsing particular candidates <br />for appointment to Metropolitan -wide agencies such as <br />the New Regional Transit Board, Metropolitan Council, <br />Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, etc. and it was <br />the concensus of the group that any effort on the part <br />of the Municipal Legislative Commission to endorse <br />particular candidates would have a negative impact upon <br />our ability to maintain good relations with members of <br />all of these agencies and could possibly alienate members <br />of our own organization who are seeking appointment to <br />these agencies. Therefore, the Committee agreed to discuss <br />informally the names of individuals being considered for <br />appointement to such agencies in order that all members <br />can be fully informed of the qualifications of these <br />individuals so that individual members might endorse <br />particular candidates if it is their desire to do so, <br />but the Commission as a whole will take no official <br />position on these matters. <br />
