Fourteen of you responded. In thirteen instances, there were <br />problems cited. In response, I drafted a resolution for possible adoption by your city <br />councils. Since lIve sent the resolution to thirteen of your it occurred to me that <br />perhaps I should send it to everybody in the event that there may be more willing <br />supporters, My proposed course of action would be as follows: <br /> <br />1. Ask that resolutions be adopted on or before December 10} 2004. <br /> <br />2. Collect resolutions prior to the end of the year. <br /> <br />3. Organize a delegation of Mayors (minimum of 6) to seek meeting with the <br /> <br />Governor. <br /> <br />4. Hand deliver packets of resolutions to the Governor and Commissioner of <br />Transportation. <br /> <br />5. Ask each participating city to send a packet to each member of his/her <br />legislative delegation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6. Find volunteers to call the Governor on his Friday morning radio show on <br /> <br />weeo ,) <br /> <br />I will also ask that the League of Minnesota Cities add a policy statement reflecting the <br />immediate need for support of MNDOT right-of-way maintenance in Minnesota cities. <br /> <br />Thanks for considering this. While it's probably less important than providing funding for <br />road surfaces, the condition of public rights of way does impact the image of government <br />at all levels. Tall weeds} dilapidated fences and guardrails in poor repair also <br />compromise cities! ability to adress ever growing property maintenance issues in our <br />communities. <br /> <br />If you have changes to suggest for the resolution or the plan of action, I welcome your <br />thoughts. <br /> <br />Bill Burns, City Manager of Fridley <br /><<MNDOT Maintenance Resolution.doc>> <br />burnsw@ci.fridley.mn.us <br /><<MNDOT Maintenance Resolution.doc>> <br /> <br />This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. <br />For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email <br /> <br />This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. <br />For more information_please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1 <br />
