Administrator Achen presented proposed Resolution No. 660 endorsing a
police selection standards project by the Metropolitan Area Management
Association and Metropolitan Council sponsorship of federal grant appli-
cation.
Councilman Baumgartner asked what this would commit us to as far as
"cash match ". Administrator Achen stated the estimated cost to the
City would be about $200. Mayor Johnson felt the benefits to be received
far outweigh the minimal cost.
Clerk Achen stated a need exists for improved police recruitment and
selection procedures within the suburban Twin Cities area to meet the
requirements of the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The proposal
is for a research study to validate recruitment and selection standards.
The Metropolitan Council, being an agency representing all communities
within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, has been asked by MAMA to act
only as the sponsoring agency of the grant.
Councilman Shelquist is in favor of the Resolution if it doesn't commit
us to funds at this time. Clerk Achen stated that he did not know whether
this Resolution legally committed city funds, but that it implies we will
share in the cash match costs.
Councilman Hodges stated he favors the proposal.
MSP (Pickar- Hodges) to accept Resolution No. 660 as presented with the
City reserving the right to withdraw support pending final notice of
the cost involved.
