5800 85th AVENUE NORTH / BROOKLYN PARK.MN. 55443 /G12-424-8000 <br /> CITY GF -- <br /> BROOKLYN December 28, 1987 <br /> PARK <br /> Mayor Robert Sundland <br /> 3101 Roosevelt Street NE <br /> St . Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Dear Mayor- Sundland: <br /> A-s you -know, the Northern Mayors' Association has been in <br /> existence for more" than two years and it has had some success in <br /> voicing our concerns to state legislators. It is obvious, <br /> however, that not enough resources are available to achieve our <br /> transportation ' goals and to promote economic growth in the <br /> northern suburbs. <br /> A Steering Committee was formed to investigate what resources are <br /> needed to achieve our objectives. Attached is a copy of the <br /> Committee's report which was wholeheartedly accepted and approved <br /> • by the Board of Directors on December 21, 1987. The report <br /> indicates an annual budget of $100, 000 from member cities to be <br /> supplemented by funds generated from the private sector . - <br /> Fifteen of our 21-member cities were present at the meeting and <br /> unanimously agreed to the need of strong support for this <br /> program. Concern for a timely commencement of this project was <br /> expressed in order to have an impact with the 1988 state <br /> legislature starting this January. <br /> We strongly encourage your city to adopt the enclosed resolution <br /> as soon as possible and return the resolution to the Northern <br /> Mayors' Association (c/o Charles Darth, City of Brooklyn Park, <br /> 5800 85th Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443) by February <br /> 15, 1988. If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to <br /> contact me (560-8022) , Doug Reeder (420-4000) , or Hank Sinda <br /> (633-1533) . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> mes J .
