r lir- = Eçoj COUNTY LEAGUE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS The Ramsey County League of Municipalities was created in 1963, empowered by Minnesota State Laws 1963, Chapter 728 for the purpose of"perpetuating and developing the League as an agency of cooperation for Ramsey County cities." Initially, membership included 17 cities, villages and towns. In March of 1975,the Ramsey County League of Municipalities became the Ramsey County League of Local Governments and a new charter was approved which opened its member- ship doors to school districts and the county. Today, RCLLG members include: 14 cities, one township, Ramsey County,the Ramsey Soil&Water Conservation District, and five school districts. For much of the RCLLG's existence,the League of Minnesota Cities(LMC)provided staff support. In January 1996,the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities(AMM) assumed this role, and in January 2001, Government Training Services became RCLLG's staff support. Throughout the year,the RCLLG conducts meetings focusing on issues critical to Ramsey County. (See information posted on the web at www.mngts.org and click on the RCLLG link.)
