A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY
ACTION AGENCY FOR SUBURBAN AND RURAL HENNEPIN
COUNTY
WHEREAS, the question of whether there is a need for a Community Action
Agency (CAA) to serve suburban and rural Hennepin County, and what
organizational form is most appropriate if a CAA should be established, has
been under study for the past year; and
WHEREAS, this review has indicated that the County's lower-income
citizens will benefit from the establishment of a CAA which can build on and
complement the activities of the existing human service councils; and
WHEREAS, a task force representing the three human service councils has
developed an organizational model designated the "linkage model," which will
enable a CAA to be organized while retaining the human service councils and
making the fullest use of their existing planning, management and service
capabilities; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED:
1) The St. Louis Park City Council does hereby urge the
Hennepin County Board of Commissioners to accept the
recommendations of the task force and establish a CAA for
suburban and rural Hennepin County based upon the linkage
model and to designate the present task force as the
interim board to: write the by-laws, organize the new
board and apply for funding.
2) That the West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board
will submit the by-laws adopted by the CAA to the City
Council for approval.
Attest:
Adopted by the City Council September 10, 1979.
