At this point all preliminary steps have been taken, and the final step remains members' approval of the dissolution. The Committee recommends that this step now be taken. Enclosed is a copy of a sample resolution approving dissolution of the MPRS, for consideration by your City Council. If your City Council approves this resolution, a certified copy of it should be sent to Dan Donahue at the City of New Hope. Once resolutions have been received from two4hirds of MPRS members, the System officially will be dissolved. Dan will notify you when this occurs. In lieu ora final audit of the System by an independent audit' firm, the Executive Committee has voted to appoint a committee of three municipal Finance Officers to conduct such an audit. Also enclosed is an assessment for MPRS operating expenses. On September 26, 1966 the MPRS Board of Directors voted to cease all recruitment and testing activities by the System, and it discussed how to meet the System's operating expenses between that time and official dissolution of the System. The City of New Hope offered to loan the System funds for this purpose, and the Board of Directors agreed to reimburse New Hope for all such funds. The amount now owed New Hope is $3,000. Please note that your community's assessment for operating expenses is to be made payable to the City of New Hope, and it is to be remitted to the City's Finance Officer. Also, please note that the enclosed materials are being sent to only one person in each member community, so please see that they are properly forwarded. If you have any questions in this matter, feel free to contact either Dan Donahue (763 -531-5100) or me (763-404-0515). I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
