RESOLUTION of the CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

By
Johnson Lee, Goodman, Zimmermann, Benson

Supporting the State of Minnesota in protecting the natural flow of Camp Coldwater Springs.


Whereas, the Minnesota State Legislature overwhelmingly passed 2001 Minnesota Laws Chapter 101, which prohibits any state, regional, or local government action that would diminish the flow to or from Camp Coldwater Springs and which requires review ofprojects under the Minnesota Historic Sites Act and the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act;
and

Whereas, the Federal Highway Administration has called on the Minnesota Department of Transportation to do additional testing and monitoring of the site to determine a dewatering rate that will not affect the flow rate at the Springs;
and

Whereas, the extension of Crosswind Runway 4-22 at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has been postponed indefinitely in
light of reduced demand for a longer runway due to cancellation of nonstop flights to Hong Kong and improvements in airplane technology;
and

Whereas, Camp Coldwater is a registered National Historic Landmark that figures prominently in Native American, European American, and African American history in Minnesota;
and

Whereas, Camp Coldwater lies entirely within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA);
and

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by The City Council of The City of Minneapolis:
That the City of Minneapolis supports 2001 Minnesota Laws Chapter 101 as passed and effected in May 2001.

Be It Further Resolved that the City calls on our State Legislators not to amend or repeal these protections for historic Camp Coldwater Springs.
