RESOLUTION NO. 65-28
RESOLUTION OPPOSING CHANGE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF DIRECT RELIEF IN HENNEPIN COUNTY
WHEREAS, since Hennepin County was first organized, direct relief has
been administered under what is known as the Township System.
WHEREAS, since at least 1938, thirty-eight of the municipalities loca-
ted in rural Hennepin ;ounty have administered direct relief under a system
of contract whereby these municipalites have employed and maintained two
central offices with trained personnel which conducts thorough investiga-
tions and administers relief according to standards approved by the State
of Minnesota, and
WHEI'M, under this system in rural Hennepin County, direct relief
has been administered ably, well and satisfactorily and at a cost which
is far less than that which would have been necessarily expanded under a
County System, and
WHEREAS, the administration of such relief in Hennepin County is not
fragmented and has been at all times administered in a humane, efficient and
intelligent manner, and
WHEREAS, it is now proposed that the legislature of the State of
Minnesota enact legislation abolishing the above system of administration
of relief and institute and establish a County System, and
WHEREAS, such a change is unnecessary, undesirable and costly and
expensive,
NOW THMMRE BE IT HEEHY RESOLVED BY THE VILiAGE COUNCIL OF THE
VILLAGE OF PLYMOUTH;
1. That said Village of Plymouth is opposed to the enactment of
any legislation which will change the present system of
