RESOLUTION NO. 7155
RESOLUTION REGARDING DNR METRO REGION OFFICE.
WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater works closely with the DNR Metro Region
Office to plan.( and implement proper management of the natural resources
that are located within this City, and this cooperative effort may not
continue as effectively from an outstate DNR facility; and
WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater hcs many fishing/hunting related businesses
that contribute to our economy as well as a large number of anglers, hunters,
and other outdoor sports enthusiasts who regularly utilize the services of
the DNR Metro Region Office and who could not be served effectively from an
outstate DNR facility, and
WHEREAS, it now appears that closing the DNR Metro Region Office and trans-
ferring its functions to an outstate DNR facility may not accomplish the cost
reduction that was the legislative intent of HF 2190 (Laws of Minnesota for
1982, Ch. 641, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 1, item f) but would dimish the services
available to the City of Stillwater and its residents;
BE IT, THEREFORE, RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Stillwater is
opposed to the closing of the DNR Metro Region Office and requests that the
Minnesota Legislature adopt legislation enabling the continuation of the present
regional structure of the Department of Natural Resources.
Adopted by the City Council this 15th day of February, 1983
