This is a very important issue in the metropolitan area that <br />will have long-term impacts on how transportation and transit are funded. Because of the <br />organized opposition to this amendmcnt in greater Minnesota, some believe the passage of this <br />amendment may be threatencd. In addition, some legislators are discussing revising the <br />amendment, which could also threaten passage of the amendment. The AMM has taken a <br />leadership position on this matter due to its importance to metropolitan communities. <br /> <br />If you vote to approve this resolution, we will forward it to our legislative delegation as well as <br />toAMM. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Motion to approve Resolution No. 06-26, Supporting the Constitutional Amendment for Motor <br />Vehicle Sales Tax Dedication to Transportalion. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />Proposed Resolution No. 06-26 <br />Letter from AMM Executive Director Louis Jambois <br /> <br />\\Metro-inet,us\ardenhiIJs\A.dmin\City Administrator\Memo\2006\3-07-06 Memo RE Canst Amendment.doc <br />
