LAWRENOE D. COHEN RECEIVED

Council President Ruby Hunt APR 2 91975

Saint Paul, Minnesota Council President
Ruby Hunt
Dear President Hunt:
Enclosed with this letter please find Council File No. 265349--which
is a council resolution recommending that the state legislature
authorize the city of Saint Paul to issue $250,OQ0 in general obliga-
tion bonds of the cityr tagether with Ramsey County for a similar
amount, for the construction of six additional courtrooms for the
Rarnsey County Municipal Court in the City Hall and Court House
building. The vote on this resolution was 5 to 2.
I returned from vacation and, quite frankly, did not read it in time
to veto it. If I would have the time, I would veto this resolution.
I therefore am asking the council to reconsider the resolution and
to vote against it.
I believe the Macomb study indicates the fact that the city is
carrying the load for the suburban areas. This would be another
example.
The court system is a county court system, and the most equitable
way of financing it should be countywide--not by the city picking up
half of the cost. In other parts of the county, municipalities
actually charge the court system for rental of court space.
Ironically, this bill would have the effect of further dimina.shing
the space available in the City Hall and Court House for city
functions, while we are having difficulty at the same time convincing
the legislature of our need for additional office space in the
Lowry Annex. I understand the city presently occupies less than
40 per cent of the available space in the City Hall and CQUrt House.
It is not fair to continue placing a disproportionate burden on the
taxpayers of the city of Saint Paul. We must stop this wherever
possible. I therefore strongly recommend that Saint Paul withdraw
its support of such bonding legislation.
Y�e��e�.�, truly,
LDC:lmp L RENCE D. HEN
