Dear Rose:
The Joint Court House & City Hall Committee at its May 19, 1980 meeting, unani-
mously approved Resolution 4�80-29 (attached) in compliance with Minnesota Laws
of 1980, Chapter 612 which changes the financing af the Court House & City Hall
Building from a 50/50 basis to a proportionate square foot allocation based on
exclusive use or occupancy by the City and the County. The resolution also
addresses other problems of the Joint Committee in its eiforts to effectively
administer the affairs of the Court House & City Hall Building.
The resolution will require the concurrence of both the City Council and the
County Board, and will go into effect on January 1, 1981. However, there is
some urgency due to the fact that both governments must use the new sp�ce use
percentages in computing their respective budgets for 1981 which are now in
progress.
Please see that this matter is scheduled for Citv Council action as soon as
possible.
