CONSTRUCTION OF TRUNK HIGHWAYS SO AS TO
REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT OF LOCAL CONSENT
WHEREAS, there has been introduced into the House of
Representatives of the Minnesota State Legislature a bill for
an act relating to the planning and construction of trunk highways
through`Municipalities, which bill is known and numbered as H. F.
1177 and,
WHEREAS, said bill would repeal Minnesota Statutes 1967,
Sections 161.17 Subdivision 1 and 160.08, Subdivision 2, sometime
referred to as the "local consent" provisions and,
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Plymouth
has studied said proposed bill in some detail and has carefully
considered the implications of suchproposed legislation as they
irelate to municipalities and,
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Plymouth
does support a modification and change in the present local
consent provisions of the law relating to the planning and
construction of trunk highways and,
WHEREAS, notwithstanding such desire to see said local
consent provisions modified the Village Council of the Village
of Plymouth opposes H. F. 1177 for the following reasons:
1. said bill places municipalities in a totally
defensive position with respect to the planning
and construction of trunk highways.
2. The procedures required by such bill in the
event of disagreement between a municipality
and the Cosmissioner of Highways are cumbersome,
intricate, difficult of administration and would
involve a dissenting municipality in significant
and substantial expense for legal and engineering
fees.
3. No opportunity is afforded to a dissenting
municipality to have a representative on any
arbitration board or decision making panel in the
event of a dispute.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL
OF THE VILLAGE OF PLYMOUTH AS FOLLOWS:
1. Said Village Cc-rcil '•i'orposed to the enactment of
