For a governing authority
A city or town becomes a Member Municipality when its governing authority adopts a resolution supporting the Partnership's policy position. Take the briefing packet to the board or council, adopt the model resolution, and the municipality is published after the resolution is received, reviewed, and approved.
Adopt the model resolution, become a Member Municipality, and have your resolution included in the statewide public record of support.
How to submit an adopted resolution
- Download the model resolution.
- Adopt it in an open meeting of the governing authority.
- Email the adopted, executed resolution as a PDF to resolutions@msrevenuepartnership.org.
