He will go over the CGMC platform and advocacy efforts, impact of the current <br /> and next legislative session on Pequot Lakes, and discuss the issues encompassed under the CGMC <br /> program. Bradley will be bringing a few items to hand out to your Council and yourself at the meeting <br /> such as the CGMC 2008 Legislative Session Report, LGA information specific to Pequot Lakes and a <br /> couple of other items but, in the meantime, I am sending to you the attached handout that you can <br /> distribute with Council Packets prior to the meeting as well as this email if you prefer. <br /> Bradley's presentation will be to go over what the CGMC can do for Pequot Lakes if you were to join. <br /> CGMC dues are based on population, with larger cities charged at a higher rate than smaller <br /> cities. Since Pequot Lakes has never been a member of the coalition , it is eligible for the following <br /> phase-in: 25% of the regular cost of dues the first year of membership, 50% due the second year, <br /> 75% due the third year, and 100% due the fourth year of membership. <br /> You could join now and not pay for your 25% membership until February 2009 and receive the <br /> benefits of membership immediately. Currently, if Pequot Lakes were to pay full dues, the amount <br /> annually would be an estimated $3,218. This means that you would be paying an estimated $804 <br /> for the first year of membership (2009), $1 ,609 for the second year (2010), $2,413 for the third <br /> (2011 ), and $3,218 in each subsequent year (2012 and beyond). (These figures are based on <br /> your city's current population.) <br /> If you need anything additional, please call me at (651 ) 259-1913 or email me at slwalsh@flaherty- <br /> hood.com. Thank you and have a great rest of the week and weekend. <br /> Shelly Walsh <br /> Administrative Assistant <br /> Flaherty & Hood, P.A. <br /> 525 Park Street, Suite 470 <br /> St. Paul, MN 55103 <br /> (651) 259-1913 Direct <br /> (651) 225-8840 Office <br /> (651) 225-9088 Fax <br /> slwalsh @ Faherty-hood.corn <br /> 6/25/2008 <br />
