Hennepin County,Minnesota
Resolution No.2000-142
Building Quality Communities
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 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 greater trust by citizens in the efforts of their city government;
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Eden Prairie 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 Chris Enger, City Manager, as
the City of Eden Prairie's key contact for this effort, and will inform the League of Minnesota Cities of
this designation.
