Dear Mayor Probst and Members of the Arden Hills City Council; <br /> By now, you are probably aware of the rights of way issue facing cities in Minnesota. US <br /> . West's challenge to local management of the public rights of way is one of the most critical <br /> issues cities have faced in years. It was a topic of considerable discussion at the Annual <br />L Conference, where member cities supported the League Board of Directors decision to move <br /> forward with an aggressive work program and financing plan to counter this challenge. We need <br /> your city to make a special payment to this fund and help put the work plan into action. <br />I The work plan developed by the Rights of Way Task Force and approved by the Board could <br /> cost $325,000 or more. This assumes that a large portion of the work plan will be coordinated <br /> by and implemented through League staff. The Board has agreed to allocate $125,000 from the <br /> current League budget for the work plan and is asking member cities to voluntarily pay <br /> $200,000. <br />, Based on your city's 1995-96 League dues, your suggested minimum payment is $698. <br /> c, <br />~, rc Please consider this request in July and submit your payment by August 15, 1996 if at all <br /> possible. If each city meets their minimum payment, the $200,000 target is reachable. However, <br /> because it is unlikely that all cities will join this voluntary effort, we encourage members to <br /> allocate more if this initiative is of particular importance to them, <br /> Two important points should be made: First, this is a voluntary payment. As a member of the <br /> League of Minnesota Cities, you are not required to take part in this effort. However, iftotal city <br /> payments fall significantly short of the $200,000 goal, the League will not be able to fully <br /> undertake the work plan. Second, your voluntary payment should not be confused with your <br /> League membership dues which will be billed at the beginning of September. <br /> The Board of Directors and I understand that this issue must be weighed against the priorities in <br /> your city. However, we believe that the prospect of losing local control of public property <br /> warrants this extraordinary effort. This is a complicated issue, please consider it carefully. <br /> Enclosed is a brief information sheet to help you in your deliberations. If you have any <br /> questions, contact me at (218) 643-1431, League Executive Director Jim Miller at (612) 280- <br /> ~ 1205 or (800) 925-1122, or any member of the Board of Directors. <br /> u Sincerely, <br /> a ~r:d# r~.~, f".~' <br /> :gu16 i'it:, <br /> ft - for t Blaine C.
