ity of <br /> <br />'ver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />ITEM 5.2. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> Mayor & City Council <br /> <br /> Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br /> July 22, 1996 <br /> <br /> League of Minnesota Cities Right of Way Project <br /> <br />Local management of public rights of way is becoming a very critical issue for <br />municipalities. It is expected that this issue will be the subject of extensive debate at the <br />1997 Legislative Session. Please see the attached material from the League of Minnesota <br />Cities (LMC) that provides some information on this critical issue. <br /> <br />The LMC believes that this issue is very important in defining the city's authority to <br />manage its nongovernmental activities within public property. The LMC Board of <br />Directors has decided to legally counter any challenge to this local government <br />management authority. However, the work plan to counter this challenge is not in the <br />LMC budget and they are asking municipalities to help pay for implementing this LMC <br />work plan. Based on our city dues to the LMC, it is suggested that the city pay $891 as <br />its share for this work plan. <br /> <br />Staff supports this LMC effort and recommends approval of this expenditure. The $891 <br />would come from the City Council Contingency Fund. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br /> <br /> <br />
