CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 93-72
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR BOARD OF
GOVERNMENT INNOVATION AND COOPERATION GRANT;
COOPERATION PLANNING GRANT
WHEREAS, the 1993 Minnesota state Legislature approved a $1.2
million grant fund for local units of government to
plan and implement cooperative and service sharing
projects; and
WHEREAS, the money will be awarded to the most innovative
proposals; those that cannot be addressed locally
because of some of the special and excessive costs to
plan a cooperative arrangement or provide a prototype
for other governments to follow to institute
comparable changes; and
WHEREAS, since about 1981 the cities of New Brighton, Mounds
View, Fridley, Shoreview, Arden Hills, and st. Anthony
have talked about sharing building inspection services
because each city has a difficult time matching its
level of staffing to swings in the level of remodeling
and construction projects; and
WHEREAS, New Brighton has been able to examine remodeling and
construction trends for all of the aforementioned
cities over the last 5 years, researched other joint
powers agreements, and examined potential staffing
needs for a shared building inspection service; and
WHEREAS, it is time to refine the plan, and find out if there
is commitment to implement a shared building
inspection service;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the City
of Arden Hills, Minnesota to authorize staff to participate with
the city of New Brighton, and support their efforts, to apply
for a $25,000 cooperation planning grant for the purpose of
assessing the feasibility of shared building inspection
services.
