WHEREAS, Rep. Myron Orfield (DFL-Minneapolis) has introduced the
above listed bills relative to housing, metropolitan
governance, development controls, and transportation;
and
WHEREAS, the economies of the core cities of the Region and of
the suburbs are interconnected and it is in the interest
of the city of Prior Lake that the socioeconomic
problems of the core cities be resolved; and
WHEREAS, the specific provisions of the le9islation utilize
too many penalties and too few incent1ves to motivate
suburban communities to resolve the socioeconomic
problems of the inner-regions of the metropolitan area;
and
WHEREAS, the legislation fails to attack the real problems of
central cities such as confidence in the school systems,
problems with housing and job opportunities, crime,
concentrations of urban blight, and public
transportation severely reducing the likelihood that the
legislation will accomplish its objectives.
WHEREAS, the legislation fails to provide the resources necessary
to achieve its intended 90als by hindering housing
opportunities and job creat10n in the suburban areas and
by thwarting the development of regional transportation
improvements, and
WHEREAS, the legislation provides for an unnecessary intrusion by
the Metropolitan Council into the local government
sovereignty of zoning and land use decisions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF
PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA, that the City urges the Legislature to
amend these bills to delete their harmful provisions so they can
be passed and help to resolve the socioeconomic problems of the
inner-region of the metropolitan area, and
