MEMORANDUM

From: Yvonne Johnson, Vice President
DCA Stanton Group
Re: LOGIS Membership
It has recently come to the attention ofthe LOGIS Executive Board that some ofthe jurisdictions
participating in the LOGIS Health Care Group are not formal members of the LOGIS
. Association. Since this is a requirement to participate in the Health Care plan, we need to have
those who have not applied for membership in LOGIS do so now. As stated in the Policies and
Procedures, members have to be at least an associate member of the Association. This does not
obligate the jurisdiction to purchase systems nor are there any dues imposed. You will, however,
need to appoint two representatives to the general board,
Attached are the Policies and Procedures, the Resolution to Participate, the Joint and Cooperative
Agreement, the Commitment letter, and general information about the LOGIS Association,
Please have the City Clerk and the Mayor sign the Resolution, the City Manager or Administrator
sign the Commitment letter, and the Mayor and City Manager or Administrator sign the Joint and
Cooperative Agreement in the presence of the City Clerk. For those of you who are jurisdictions
other than cities, please have similar representative sign in place of Mayor, etCH
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. These agreements should have been
completed at the time you originally joined the Health Care Group, but were not.
Please feel free to call me at (612) 541-7527 should you have any questions or if you would like
more information about the Association, you may call Mike Garris, Executive Director, at
LOGIS. Mike's number is (612) 543-2630,
Thank you
