I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br /> <br />MEMBERSHIP TO THE NORTH METRO MAYORS ASSOCIATION <br /> By: Ryan R. Schroeder, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On Thursday, September 23, 1993, the City of Ramsey hosted a meeting with the Cities of <br />Andover, Anoka, Champlin and Dayton. At this meeting, membership in the North Metro Mayors <br />Association was discussed. The result was a letter forwarded to the North Metro Mayors <br />Association expressing our desires for increased activity by the organization with a more direct <br />benefit to Ramsey and its surrounding communities. <br /> <br />I have enclosed, for your review, the two agreements that resulted in Ramsey's participation in this <br />organization. The first is the North Metro Development Association, which Ramsey entered into <br />on July 25, 1988, and the second entered into on July 25, 1989, forming the larger umbrella <br />organization. Since that time, the two have been combined under one umbrella. <br /> <br />For 1994, the dues for this organization are projected to be $8,701. City Council should note that <br />within each of these attached agreements, notice to with~w from the organization must be given <br />by October 15th prior to the subsequent January 1st fiscal year. Council should also note that in <br />1990, Ramsey had notified the North Metro Development Association of their intent to withdraw <br />from the organization during 1991. <br /> <br />At this time, Staff is unsure of the intent of the Ramsey City Council and/or that of the Councils of <br />the adjacent communities. Therefore, to preserve our options, Staff suggests that we be directed to <br />inform the North Metro Mayors Association of our possible intent to withdraw from the <br />organization and to work with our neighboring communities and the North Metro Mayors <br />Association over the next three months in order to determine whether our membership in this <br />organization in the future is of value to the citizens of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to direct Staff to inform the North Metro Mayors Association of its intent to consider <br />withdrawal from the organization effective 1994. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />CC:10-12-93 <br /> <br /> <br />
