' RESOLUTION NO. 7 - 1994
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 five years, research 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 that the Mayor and Council of the
City of Fridley 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.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS
3RD DAY OF JANUARY, 1994.
