Minnesota Cities:
Building Quality Communities
BACKGROUND
In the past few years, members of the League of Minnesota Cities have become concerned about
what some state legislators and other groups are saying about city government. More and more
comments seem to describe cities as special interest groups, rather than as representatives of
Minnesota citizens. Add to that a disconnection from government feit by a growing number of
Americans, especially among young people, and League feaders decided to take action.
Cities are the means to °community." We work in the interest of the families and businesses that
live and work in our communities, and we are major contributors to quality of life in Minnesota.
This is the message we must make clear to "key influencers"— legislators, the media, other
influential groups — and directly to our citizens.
Last year, the LMC Board of Directors worked with a pubfic relations firm to obtain candid feedback
from citizens and key influencers to determine what quality of life means to them and how their
city government helps contribute to that quality of life. Through focus groups and one-on-one
interviews, we heard from citizens and key influencers about their top priorities for a high quality
of life.
Top Priorities of Quality of Life
. Safety
. Family
. 7ob opportunities
. Good health care
. Good schools
. Recreational opportunities
. Strong sense of community
From these findings, we developed key messages and the foundation of the Building Quality
Communities effort. Since many of these priorities reflect the services cities provide to Minnesota
citizens, city ofFcials can begin to connect the value of city services to the values of our citizens.
The mission of Building Quality Communities
1. To enhance the perception of Minnesota city governments and city o�cials.
2. To reinvigorate and increase citizen involvement in city government.
3. To reinstill a sense of pride in public service, inspiring young people to seek
careers in city government.
The key to achieving this mission is a grassroots effort among all cities, focusing on clearly and
consistently making the connection between the work of city governments and the high quality of
life Minnesotans experience.
We also will work to:
• Seek effective ways to get citizens involved in building their community.
• Continue improving our partnership with legislators and the media.
• Strengthen our collaboration with other community groups.

Minnesota Cities:
Building Quality Communities
BENEFITS
By participating in the Building Quality Communities public education campaign, your city
and all League members can benefit in a number of ways.
Benefits to your city:
. Greater understanding among your citys residents, businesses, community groups, legislators,
reporters, and editors of how your city's efforts contribute to quality of life in your community.
Increased citizen participation in your city's activities and discussions, due to an enhanced
perception of the role of Minnesota city governments and city officials.
Assistance from LMC in communicating this connection between what your city does and
quality of life in your community — we plan for this ass+stance to come in many forms over the
ne� two years, including:
- a video you can show on your local cable access channel or at city events;
- camera-ready and electronic versions of the Building Quality Communities logo (both black
and white and color versions);
- talking points for speaking to community groups and schools;
- sample articles, press releases and advertisements;
- facilitation of citizen focus groups; and
- a catalog of items your city can purchase that incorporate the Building Quality Communities
logo with your city's name.
Benefits to all Minnesota cities:
Working together, Minnesota cities can proactively define themselves in a positive light, rather
than reacting to how legislators, the media, and other groups characterize us.
This statewide, grassroots effort gives cities strength in numbers and one voice in challenging
negative perceptions and conveying the message that city governments are essential to quality
of life in Minnesota.
If we are successful in associating city governments with positive goals and essential services,
we believe we can gain greater legislative cooperation and strengthen our partnership in
serving our common canstituents. We also believe that increased participation in city
government may result, as well as decreased cynicism among young people.
