It is an important invitation <br />for you and your city, and this year's theme: "Minnesota Cities <br />building for the Future" underlines why you will want to make plans <br />to attend yourself and encourage councilmembers and other city <br />employees to participate as well. <br />It is not necessary to tell you what an extraordinary year this has <br />already turned out to be for cities. The potential for major and <br />disruptive changes in state and federal policies affecting cities; <br />the uneven recovery from economic recession; the impact of the <br />troubled farm economy on cities; the efforts of the League to seek <br />legislative support for distribution of the Local Government Aid <br />according to a formula and policy adopted by member cities; the <br />advance of computer technology in the marketplace and at city hall. <br />All these changes and those yet to come leave cities with a sense of <br />anxious anticipation and alert to discover the ways in which to <br />maintain and improve the quality of services and toe lives of <br />residents. <br />sessions scnedulcd for the 1985 LMC Annual Conference provide that <br />discussion and the opportunity to explore those tools we'll need to <br />get the job done!
