WHEREAS, the number of federal and state government legislation and regulatory
mandates has increased over the last six years; and
WHEREAS, the procedural regulations accompanying the mandates are burdensome and
often prevent local governments from responding effectively to constituent
needs; and
WHEREAS, there is often little consideration given to the administrative
capacity of a City to adequately administer the program; and
WHEREAS, there is a financial burden placed on Local and County governments by
the mandates; and
WHEREAS, there is often no criteria of funding established to evaluate the
effectiveness of programs implemented under the mandate.
NOW, `HEREMPE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Fridley supports the following
mandate reforms which will enable City government to serve their constituents
more efficiently and effectively:
Establish goals and performance criteria and use them in evaluating the
effectiveness of programs.
Allow greater City and County flexibility and innovation in the methods
used to achieve these goals.
Ensure an adequate and stable source of revenue directly linked to the
imposition of mandates.
Ensure that requirements for delegated responsibilities are developed with
full consideration of the implementing agencies; and
Limit the use of mandates to circumstances where voluntary approaches have
failed or would not yield equity, efficiency, or the necessary level of
state -wide uniformity.
