RESOLUTION OPPOSING CHANGE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF DIRECT RELIEF IN HENNEPIN COUNTY
• WHEREAS, since Hennepin County was first organized, direct
relief has been administered under what is known as the Township
System; and
UHEREAS, since at least 1938 thirty-eight of the municipalities
located in rural Hennepin County have administered direct relief under
a system of contract whereby these municipalities have employed and
maintained two central offices with trained personnel which conducts
thorough investigations and aministers relief according to standards
approved by the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS , under this system in rural Hennepin County, direct
relief has been administered ably, well and satisfactorily and at a
cost which is far less than that which would have been necessarily
expanded under a County System; and
UHEREAS, the administration of such relief in Hennepin County
is not fragmented and has been at all times administered in a humane,
efficient and intelligent manner; and
0HEREAS , it is now proposed that the legislature of the State
of Minnesota enact legislation abolishing the above system of adminis-
tration of relief and institute and establish a County System, and
V!HEREAS , such a change is unnecessary, undesirable and costly
and expensive.
NOU THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Village Council of
the Village of St. Anthony that said Village of St.Anthony is opposed
to the enactment of any legislation which will change the incidence of
payment for direct relief expenditures, other than the various
categorical aids, from the municipality wherein the relief recipient
resides; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the State Senators and the Members of the House of
Representatives of the Legislature of the State of Minnesota, who are
elected from and represent rural Hennepin County.
ADOPTED by the Village Council of the Village of St.Anthony
this 27th day of April 1965.
