SUBURBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION
WHEREAS, Minneapolis and Hennepin County elected officials have both

WHEREAS, many of the items contained in these proposals have the effect of
having suburban communities absorb additional tax burdens; and
WHEREAS, under recent legislation the intercity now enjoys the position of
having suburban taxpayers subsidizing a sizeable part of their
present tax burdens; and

tax burdens throughout Hennepin County; and

municipalities to present a united front to ensure that this
practice is not continued; and
WHEREAS, it is also in our best interests to keep a watchful eye on all
related legislative proposals and day-to-day operations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH
that:
1. We endorse the development of an unbiased comparative core
city vs. suburban municipality tax study, including relative
effects of all intergovernmental aids.
