RESOLUTION NO. 47 41
RESOLUTION REQUESTING STATE LEGISLATION
GIVING MUNICIPALITIES THE RIGHT TO SET
LICENSE FEES AND TO REQUIRE UTILITIES TO
BE PLACED UNDERGROUND
WHEREAS, certain state regulated license fees do not cover local
basic administrative costs, and
WHEREAS, local governments are powerless to set a reasonable
fee for such services, and
WHEREAS, municipalities also have no authority at present to
require utilities within their jurisdiction to be placed underground,
therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Louis
Park wishes to have its legislators work diligently for the adoption
of legislation which: (1) permits local governments to establish
realistic fees for licenses based upon administrative costs; and
(2) gives municipalities the right to require utilities within
its jurisdiction to be placed underground.
