environmental problems facing them; and

business, other governmental bodies, and the public for uniform
regulations across the state; and

of uniform regulation is to work closely with other cities in
such a way as to coordinate the environmental legislation passed
in these cities.

City of Richfield authorizes the City to loin an environmental
cities group, to participate in it decision making processes, and
to share information with other group members.
