SMALL CITIES MONTH
JUNE 2017
Whereas small cities and towns under 50,000 population are the home to millions
of Americans and constitute the vast majority of municipalities across the United
States; and
Whereas small cities and towns strive to strengthen their communities through the
provision of services and programs to improve the quality of life for all citizens;
and
Whereas the federal government is an essential partner in the success of small cities
and towns,and must be encouraged to continue to support programs and legislation
that strengthen small communities; and
Whereas state governments are partners in the success of small cities and towns,
and must be encouraged to continue to support key programs and legislation that
strengthen communities; and
Whereas organizations,businesses,and citizens are partners in the success of small
cities and towns, and must be encouraged to continue to grow their efforts to make
small communities a viable choice for people to live in; and
Whereas during these challenging economic times, the need for a renewed
intergovernmental partnership to support essential public services is more
important than ever to ensure the safety and growth of small town America; and
Whereas the National League of Cities President and the Small Cities Council of
the National League of Cities have declared June 2017 as Small Cities Month;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Oak Park
Heights does hereby proclaim June 2017, as Small Cities Month, and encourages
President Trump, Congress, state governments, organizations, businesses, and all
citizens to recognize this event,and to work together this month and throughout the
year to invest in small cities and towns to better the lives of all citizens.
