ENDORSEMENT OF FEDERAL GENERAL REVENUE SHARING
WHEREAS, the U.S. Congress enacted Federal General Revenue Sharing (PL 92-512)
in 1972, and
WHEREAS, this source of revenue has permitted local units of government to maintain
necessary and desirable programs and services for the citizens of these
local units of government, and
WHEREAS, the continuation and renewal of general revenue sharing will be an issue
of major concern in the 94th Congress, and
WHEREAS, questions have been raised concerning the equity and appropriateness
of the distribution formula and of citizen participation in the planning
phases of the appropriation of these funds, and
WHEREAS, suburban areas of the United States have many unique,first-time start-
up costs and are faced with a continuous drain of resources to the Targe
urban cities, and
WHEREAS, any modification to the distribution formula, particularly in the area
of increasing the ceiling for the next entitlement period, must be viewed
as further promoting irresponsible fiscal management by the large urban
cities, and
WHEREAS, the hearings and debates on the proposed extension of Federal General
Revenue Sharing will assure a thoughtful review of the particular and
special problems of urban and rural areas of the United States by the
Congress and by the leaders of these areas,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA that it does hereby strongly endorse and support the concept

form, and urges its Senators and Congressmen to vote favorably upon
such legislation, and
