the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Corcoran's resources are burdened by pass through traffic traveling to different locations
causing an unfunded liability to the City's transportation system; and
WHEREAS, Representative Hertaus has introduced House File 2031 which would ensure all cities receive
some Local Government Aid which would begin to assist the City's financial burden; and
WHEREAS, the City of Corcoran supports this legislation and encourages its enactment.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City of Corcoran, that the City Council hereby supports
amendments to the Local Government Aid formula as written in House File 2031.
