A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EDEN PRAIRIE
TO JOIN AN ENVIRONMENTAL CITIES GROUP
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie recognizes its leadership role in protecting
the environment of those people living and working within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has become frustrated with the length of time it takes
the federal and state governments to act on many pressing environmental
concerns; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that there is a need for governmental bodies to
act quickly on many of the environmental problems facing them; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that local environmental initiatives often have a
more immediate impact on the environment than those initiatives passed at
higher levels of government; and
WHEREAS, the City understands that there is a need by business, other
governmental bodies, and the public for uniform regulations across the state;
and
WHEREAS, the City believes that one way to obtain this type of uniform
regulation is to work closely with other cities in such a way as to coordinate
the environmental legislation passed in these cities ; and
WHEREAS, the City also believes that this type of inter-city cooperation may
act to stimulate state environmental legislation dealing with the topics
addressed by the cities and in a form acceptable to the cities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Eden Prairie
authorizes the City to join an environmental cities group, to participate in
its decision making processes, and to share information with other group
members; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council understands that, although the
decisions of the group are not binding to the City, the City has a commitment
to participate actively in the activities of the group to the fullest extent
possible.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 22nd d o Januar , 1991.
