TO: Mayors, Members of the Councils,and Clerks:
Governor Albert H. Quie has agreed to issue an official proclamation designating the week of
February 26 -March 2 as Minnesota Cities Week.This will allow cities the opportunity to high-
light city services in concert with hundreds of other cities throughout the State of Minnesota.
The entire week will offer a variety of opportunities for your participation locally,so that you
can select the options that seem to best fit your community.
One purpose of this letter is to ask you to adopt the enclosed resolutian of participation,and to
return it to the League and to the Governor. (f we can get this kind of official participation from
cities in every part of Minnesota, it will help to underline the importance of the week. We would
(ike to be able to say publicly that cities from Ada through Zumbrota are officially participat-
ing in Minnesota Cities Week, but we can only do that if you pass this resolution at the next
possible council meeting.
The Board of Directors of the League has selected a slogan for the week. It's-------Cities— 6Uhere
thePeopleAre! We plan to have a campaign kit designed around this slogan and hope xo have
samples in your hands at the beginning of February.The League will also provide suggestions for
a number of activities that cities can undertake on their own. Finally,we will contact the news
media,so that we can coordinate the publicity here with the League's Legislative Conference,
which will be held Wednesday, March 1.
The Board feels that Minnesota Cities Week offers a good opportunity not only to illustrate the
diversity and vitality of cities,but to make cities more visible during this very important legisla-
tive session. They would certainly urge your participation,via the enclosed resolution, and in any
other way that you deem appropriate either now, or after plans for the week are more developed.
In the meantime, if you have any ideas that should be considered,or any comments, please let
me know.
Si cerely,
�I
