RESOLUTION URGING PARTICIPATION BY
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL OF THE TWIN CITIES
IN FUNDING A RECODIFICATION OF ALL LOCAL
CRIMINAL AND TRAFFIC CODES IN THE METROPOLITAN
AREA
WHEREAS, there is a multiplicity of local governments in the seven -
county metropolitan area, and
WHEREAS, each community maintains separate codes for criminal
and traffic offenses which creates a situation of non-uniform law
enforcement among municipal jurisdictions, and
WHEREAS, it appears extremely desirable to modernize and
reorganize such codes on a comprehensive, uniform basis for the
benefit of the citizenry and law enforcement agencies, and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities has access
to funds provided by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for
such worthwhile projects, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park
that the Metropolitan Council is hereby requested to study and urged
to fund a comprehensive, uniform recodification of all traffic and
criminal codes in the Metropolitan area.
