RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF A BILL IMPOSING A METROPOLITAN SALES TAX
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Chanhassen is
the official governing body of the Village of Chanhassen¡ and
WHEREAS, for the past several years, the Village Council has
had of prime concern the increased amount of taxes imposed upon
landowners within the Metropolitan Area and in the Village of
Chanhassen due to rising costs for municipal and other governmental
services; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council believes that most taxpayers who
own property in the Village of Chanhassen or in other areas are of
the opinion that their own real property taxes have reached a level
which is too high for the average taxpayer¡ and
WHEREAS, the Village Council is of the opinion that steps
must be taken to remove the tax burden imposed upon the owners of
real property; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council has reviewed a bill pending
before the 1971 Legislature, designated as House File No. 2995
and Senate File No. 2636¡ and
WHEREAS, the Village Council is of the opinion that House
File No. 2995 and Senate File No. 2636, if enacted by the Legis-
lature, would provide a fair tax which would benefit property
owners in the Metropolitan Area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF
THE VILLAGE OF CHANHASSEN IN SPECIAL MEETING ASSEMBLED that the
Village Council of the Village of Chanhassen hereby endorses
House File No. 2995 and Senate File 2636 and urges the Legis-
