• RESOLUTION NO.00-082
A RESOLUTION TO JOIN IN "MINNESOTA CITIES: BUILDING QUALITY
COMMUNITIES" STATEWIDE EDUCATIONAL EFFORT
Whereas, the top values and priorities of citizens include safety, family, job opportunities, health,
the well-being of children, and recreational opportunities; and
Whereas, many of the services cities provide directly enhance those citizen priorities; and
Whereas, the connection between city services and how they benefit those citizen priorities and
concerns is not always understood by citizens; and
Whereas, it is one of the responsibilities of city officials to ensure legislators, media and citizens
understand their governments through open and frequent communication using various avenues
and means; and
Whereas, it is important to encourage citizens to actively participate in city government, to share
their views, and to work in partnership with city officials to ensure that the needs of the
community are met; and
Whereas, partnerships developed between citizens and city officials can result in greater
• understanding of the connection between Minnesota's high quality of life and the services
provided by Minnesota cities, as well as in greater trust by citizens in the efforts of their city
government;
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Shorewood hereby declares its commitment to join
in the "Minnesota Cities: Building Quality Communities" statewide educational effort in
cooperation with our fellow members of the League of Minnesota Cities. We hereby designate
Jean Panchyshyn, Executive Secretary/ Deputy Clerk, as the City of Shorewood's key contact
for this effort, and will inform the League of Minnesota Cities of this designation.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Shorewood this 28`" day of August, 2000.
