This program is a twocyear effort in part to change how legislators, the media, and <br />citizens look at local government. As you know all to well, the dialogue often focuses <br />cxclusivcly on thc level oftaxation without recognition that thosc taxes have a direct bearing on <br />the quality oflife in our communities. <br /> <br />Weare now in the process of preparing our legislative agenda for the coming session. As part of <br />that effort, our poliey committces will be reviewing all of our policies in the context of the <br />Building Quality Communities initiative. Our hope, of course, is that by framing policies in this <br />way it will help to makc that important connection between cities and quality of life. Another <br />important step, and the purpose ofthis letter, is to be able to dcmonstrate to legislators and the <br />media that we have widespread support among Minnesota's cities. Therefore, I am asking that <br />you prcsent the accompanying resolution to your City Council for its consideration. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. Please send copies of your adopted resolutions to Laura <br />Petersen at thc League offices. Also, if you have any questions or would like further information, <br />please contact either Laura or me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />8~ ~fYl~ <br /> <br />James F.
