November 12, 1980 300 Metro Square Bulling S~i~t ~aul. ~innesota 55101 Telephone 6~/291o6359 Dear Rural Area Task Force Alumnus: Greetings! It is hard to believe that nearly two years have gone by since the Rural Area Task Force completed its work. Much has happened since then,, most notably passage of the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Act. Recentl~,.the Minnesota Rura~ Developmenb COuncil asked for our help in .identifying major issues whiehthe~ could address next year and thereafter. A copy of this letter is attached. Since the' Task Force-has already discussed many rural issues at length, and probably has formed new opinions during the last two-. years,, we thought that this would be an excellent opportunity to get the group together to review our work and, in the Jargon of the Rural Development Council "perform a sorting process which se- .parates and scopes the issues to a scale of sufficient specificity to be addressed by the (Rural Development) Council." In other words, make some good recommendations about what they could do to help our rural area. Besides, we'd love to see you. folks again. Thursday, December 4, 1980, has been set for the meeting. It will be at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers. We need to know whether you can come. Please call Jim Schoettle~ at 291-6411 as soon as possible. I know this is short notice, but the Rural Development Councii needs the imput by the end of December, and we want them to know that our rural area is alive and well. I look forward to seeing all of you on December 4th. Thank you! Sincerely, ~uncil District 16 Representative'to the Minnesota Rural Development Council JD:vv Enclosur~ ~ A~eney Created to Coordinate the ~an~ snd D~elopment of the ~n Cltl~ ~etro~tan ~ea Compn~nl o W~h~on County
