RESOLUTION 2000-31
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS OF THE LMC AND THE
CITY OF HUGO'S COMMITMENT TO JOIN IN "MINNESOTA CITIES:
BUILDING QUALITY COMMUNITIES.
Whereas, the top values and priorities of citizens include safety, family, job opportunities,
health, the well-being of children, and recreational opportunities; and
Whereas, many of the services cities provide directly enhance those citizen priorities; and
Whereas, the connection between city services and how they benefit citizen priorities and
concerns is not always understood by citizens; and
Whereas, it is one of the responsibilities of city officials to ensure legislators, media and
citizens understand their governments through open and frequent communication
using various avenues and means; and
Whereas, it is important to encourage citizens to actively participate in city government, to
share their views, and to work in partnership with city officials to ensure that the
needs of the community are met; and
Whereas, partnerships developed between citizens and city officials can result in greater
understanding of the connection between Minnesota's high quality of life and the
services provided by Minnesota cities, as well as in greater trust by citizens in the
efforts of their city government;
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Hugo hereby declares its commitment to join in the
"Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities" statewide educational effort in cooperation
with our fellow members of the League of Minnesota Cities. We hereby designate Mike Ericson,
City Administrator, as the City of Hugo's key contact for this effort, and will inform the League
of Minnesota Cities of this designation.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 5th day of September, 2000.
