These Articles are the governing document for FM Metro <br />COG and it is necessary for our members to approve these before they become effective. <br /> <br />On May 19,2005 the Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments Policy Board approved this <br />amendment to our Articles of Association which will allow two communities, Harwood, North Dakota and <br />Glyndon, Minnesota, to join the FM Metro COG as Associate Members. These two communities have <br />expressed an interest injoining FM Metro COG. <br /> <br />The amended Articles of Association are included for your review. The proposed change would create the <br />classification of Associate Member for bringing in Glyndon and Harwood. This category of membership <br />would be non-voting and non-dues paying but would allow the two communities to participate in Technical <br />Committee and Policy Board discussions and coordinate activities on that basis. The two communities <br />would also be able to participate in the COG work program starting in 2007. <br /> <br />The two communities would be able to participate in this manner until the results of the 2010 Census were <br />available'and they could then be brought in as full members. <br /> <br />Your review and approval of the proposed amended Articles of Association would <br />be appreciated by the end of July, 2005. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact <br />me at 232-3242 x32. <br /> <br />SmC~elY'1( ~ <br /> <br />Robert L.
