RESOLUTION NO. 79 - 536
REQUESTING HENNEPIN COUNTY TO
ESTABLISH A COMMITTEE TO INVENTORY AND
CONSOLIDATE THE HUMAN SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM
WHEREAS, on August 20, 1979, the City Council of the City of Plymouth did consider
a report from West Hennepin Human Services Planning Council requesting support
for the creation and organizational format of the Community Action Agency for
Suburban Hennepin County, and
WHEREAS, after due consideration of this proposal the City Council voted to
withhold support from the development of a Community Action Agency, because the
creation of a Community Action Agency will add an additional administrative unit
between funding sources and ultimate program recipients, further fragmentize
human service delivery system and reduce the percentage of funds available as
directly consumable services by increasing administrative costs, and
WHEREAS, a reduction in the number of human service agencies delivering services
to Suburban Hennepin County residents will increase the effectiveness of human
service delivery in the Hennepin County Suburbs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does request that the Hennepin County Board
of Commissioners establish a study task force to inventory the numerous human
service agencies within Hennepin County and provide recommendations to the Board
for consolidation of agencies, reduction of overlapping or competing agencies and
enhance the delivery of human services to target groups within Hennepin County, and
FURTHER, that such a task force be composed primarily of appointed and elected
Officials from Hennepin County Municipalities utilizing such services.
