Members present: Mayor Steve Smith, Councilmembers Phyllis Jessen, Liz Jensen, Skip Johnson. Don Abel arrived at 8:25 PM. Also present were: City Manager Ed Shukle; Hennepin County Assistant Administrator and County Engineer Vern Genzlinger; Traffic Department, Dennis Hansen; John Cameron, City Engineer; Greg Skinner, Water and Sewer Superintendent; Bill Husdon, Sgt. of Investigation; Joyce Nelson, Public Works Secretary. Interested Persons: Mary Pauly, Gerry Dodds, Vern Andersen, Shirley Andersen, Dave Dieters, John Royer, Debra Fairfield, Lori Ham, Paul Larson and Dale Sherburne. Councilmember Jensen reviewed the application for a Conditional Use Permit for a wholesale paint and wallpaper business at 2365 Commerce Blvd., lots 5 and part of 4 & 6, Auditor's Subdivision ~167, PID ~14-117-24 44 0003/0006. The applicant, Mr. Dale Sherburne, 6511 Bayridge Road, was present, along with Paul Larson from Merril Lynch Realty. The applicant intends to utilize the former Contel building at 2365 Commerce Blvd. for use as paint and wallpaper business, both wholesale and retail operation. Initially, approximately 50% of the building will be used for the paint and wallpaper business and the remaining 50% will be for rental offices. Eventually, plans call for the building to be utilized entirely by Mr. Sherburne's business. The proposed paint and wallpaper business will primarily be a wholesale operation. Both deliveries and shipments will be via UPS and it is anticipated that a semi-truck delivery will occur once per week. Total employment in the building is estimated to be 15 to 20. The Planning Commission approved the application unanimously and staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed paint and wallpaper business. It should be noted that any modification of the building will need to comply with all applicable sections of both the building code and ordinance. ~ MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Jessen the City Council hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit ~?~ application for a wholesale paint and wallpaper business at 2365 Commerce Blvd, Lots 5 and part of 4 & 6, Auditor's Subdivision, PID ~14-117-24 4~ 0003/0006. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. Mayor Smith then introduced Mr. Vern Genzlinger and Mr. Dennis Hansen, representing Hennepin County on Crosswalk safety in the City of Mound. Mr. Hansen presented existing crosswalks, showing their location and corresponding signage. The following persons addressed the Council and Hennepin County: John Royer, Ben Franklin, 2281 Commerce Blvd. Mr. Royer indicated that he was against moving the crosswalk at the Ben Franklin location. He felt that it was going to hurt his business, as well as create more conjestion at the corner of Lynwood and Commerce. Gerry Dodds, Coast to Coast, 2250 Commerce Blvd. also spoke against moving the crosswalk at Ben Franklin. He Debra Fairfield, Manager Lynwood Apartments, indicated that lights were needed at the intersection of Lynwood and Commerce Blvd. Vern Andersen, V & S Jewelry, 2206 Commerce Blvd. He indicated that the signals at the intersection of County Road 110 and County Road 15 were not functioning properly and should be changed. Dave Dieters, Westonka Sports, 2271 Commerce Blvd. He indicated that he was against moving the crosswalk by Ben Franklin because it would also hurt his business and cause more conjestion at Lynwood and Commerce corners. He mentioned that this type of change would encourage jay walking between County Road 110 and 15 intersection and the intersection of Lynwood and Commerce. Councilmembers Jessen and Johnson were concerned about moving the crosswalk because there were no signals at Lynwood and Commerce. The County indicated that the amount of traffic does not warrant a traffic light at the corners of Lynwood and Commerce. Following this discussion, Mayor Smith asked that the Council and audience, including the Hennepin County representatives, convene downtown at the intersection of County Road 110 and 15 to review the existing stoplight and its functions. The Council then recessed at 8:45 PM and returned at 9:15 PM. MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jensen directing Hennepin County install "walk" and "don't walk" features to the stoplights on the north side of the County Road 15 and 110 intersection. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. The Council then thanked Mr. Genzlinger and Mr. Hansen for attending the meeting. City Manager, Ed Shukle, inquired to the Council as to wkether or not the Staff ought to pursue closing one of the driveways entering the parking lot directly opposite the Ben Franklin and allowing an enter only driveway with an exit only driveway exiting onto Lynwood Blvd. near Brickley's Market. Hennepin County had indicated earlier that this type of change may generate more traffic at the intersection of Commerce and Lynwood, which could result in a traffic signal being placed at that intersection. Then the crosswalk at Ben Franklin could be moved to the corner. The Council asked that the City Manager pursue this. The waste oil tank issue regarding the Public Works building was discussed. Ed Shukle, City Manager, introduced Greg Skinner, Water and Sewer Superintendent, and Joyce Nelson, Public Works Secretary and Recycling Coorinator and John Cameron, City Engineer to brief the Council on what information they had collected since Tuesday evening regarding the waste oil tank. Joyce presented information regarding how much oil is dropped into the existing tank and tanks in the area that the City gets credit for under the Hennepin County Recycling Program. It was also recommended that the State Fire Marshall does not recommend indoor tanks and that the Waste Management Board and the State Fire Marshall does recommend STIP - B steel tanks with three way protection. This is the type of tank that had been specified in the original specifications for the Public Works facility. He further indicated that Hennepin County would pay 60% of the cost of purchase and installation of the tank. They also indicated that the Waste Management Board would provide up to a $2500 grant for the project, leaving the City of Mound's cost at $60. MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Abel to proceed as approved earlier being that the City would have a contractor install a 560 gallon steel tank underground per the specifications. Ayes were Jensen, Jessen and Abel. The hayes were Smith and Johnson. Motion carried. MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously, the meeting was adjourned at 9:~§ PM.

FROM: Mark Koegler, City Planner~ DATE: March 22, 1988 SUBJECT: Wahl Variance - Case Number 88-705 At the ilast' Planning Commission meeting, the Commission tabled action on the Wahl variance pending a review of the 'issue of detached property by the City Attorney's office. I spoke to Mr. Craig Mertz in the City Attorney's office regarding this matter and he informed me that detached properties could not be counted as a contiguous parcel for the purpose of the application of lot size requirements. Therefore, the applicant will still need to obtain a 2,000 square foot area variance in order for the .parcel to be buildable. Given this finding, my recommendation is to proceed with the review of the variance as outlined in the Planning Report dated March 6, 1988. The staff recommendation contained within that report remains unchanged.

Wahl LOCATION: 3059 Brighton Common CASE NUMBER: 88-705 VHS FIT.M NUMBER: 88-310-A4-Z0 EXISTING ZONING: Single-family Residential (R-2) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Residential BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a lot area variance to construct a residence at 3059 Brighton Common. The proposed residence is a replacement for a structure that burned on Decem- ber 27, 1987. Both the Fire Chief and Building Official have es- timated that the existing home sustained damages of approximately $20,000. According to the 1988 Tax Book, the structure was valued at $22,100 prior to the fire. The subject parcel contains 4,000 square feet. The R-2 zoning provisions require a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. Hence, the applicant has filed for a 2,000 square foot lot area variance. The proposed structure meets all of the setback provi- sions of the ordinance. According to the survey and building elevation plans submitted by the applicant, the proposed home will contain approximately 1,280 square feet split evenly among two floors. The previous home had a foundation area of 536 square feet and a total floor area of 1072 square feet. The proposed structure which will have a more contemporary architectural style is 208 square feet larger than the original home. COMMENTS: The existing structure is non-conforming due to lot area. Therefore, any proposed expansion or alteration of the structure is subject to Section 23.404 of the Mound Zoning Code. Paragraph (4) of Section 23.404 stipulates that "Whenever a law- ful non-conforming structure shall have been damaged by fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, war, riot, or act of God, it may be reconstructed within twelve (12) months after such calamity, un- less the damage to the building or structure is 50 percent or more of its fair market value as shown on the assessor's records at the time of damage in which case the whole thereof shall be demolished and any construction thereafter shall be for a use in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance." This clause presents two issues, first, is the structure 50% damaged and second, if it is 50% damaged, it is required to meet all or- dinance criteria which includes setbacks and lot area. The Fire Chief and Building Official have clearly answered'the first issue. In accordance with the numbers cited previously in this report, the structure was 95% damaged by the fire. With this issue addressed, the emphasis shifts to the'application of the ordinance requirements. The existing lot area does not meet the lot area .requirements stated in the zoning ordinance for the R-2 zone. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the variance criteria. Section 23.506.1 of the Mound Zoning Code defines the criteria used for analysis of variance requests. The basis of the stated criteria is that a variance can be granted only in cases of undue hardship and the variance must represent the minimum action necessary to alleviate the hardship. In granting variances, the City of Mound has followed a generally consistent pattern of approving those which represent the minimum action necessary to permit reasonable use of a property. In vir- tually all cases, the variance represents the only feasible al- ternative. In cases of inadequate land area, an analysis is made to determine if additional property can be acquired to remedy a shortfall. In most cases, the acquisition of additional property is not physically possible. The Wahl case represents a departure from this situation. The Wahl property is legally described as Lot 21, Block 15, Ar- den. Lots 22 and 23, Block 15, Arden which lie immediately north of the Wahl property are presently vacant and for sale. They are currently being marketed by a local real estate company. Lots 22 and 23, like the Wahl property each contain 4,000 square feet in area. If, in some manner, the adjacent lots could be acquired, Lots 21, 22 and 23 could be combined and then subdivided creating two conforming R-2 parcels of 6,000 square feet in size. Both parcels could fully comply with the zoning code alleviating the need for any variances. In past reviews, the Planning Commission has considered each variance as a unique situation. The Wahl case is truly unique because an alternative exists which does not require a variance. Further, this case has the ability to meet the intent of the zoning ordinance which is to bring properties throughout the city into conformance with current zoning criteria. Prior to City Council action on this request, it is premature to speculate on the outcome of a denial. General comments pertain- ing to this topic, however, may be helpful at this time. In dis- cussing this case with the City Attorney, we concur that denial of this request is consistent with the intent of the Mound Zoning Code. Denial of the request could result in a number of dif- ferent scenarios. Two potential scenarios are 1) the applicant acquires the lots next door creating two conforming parcels or 2) Lots 21, 22 and 23 could be acquired by the City of Mound and sold to private parties for development purposes. Scenario two could be implemented in a variety of ways. Cities have various tools at their disposal for acquiring property. Recently, the City of Mound acquired an undersized lot located at 3026 Brighton Blvd. for the specific purpose of removing a non- conforming situation and making the property available for pur- chase by abutting owners. The acquisition was accomplished utilizing Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG). Another common method of acquiring property is through the Hous- ing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). It is possible for the HRA to set up a scattered site development program for the pur- pose of acquiring and combining property in fulfillment of a variety of community development goals including implementation of the zoning ordinance. One of these options may be applicable to the Wahl case or, potentially, other acquisition scenarios may exist. Regardless of which technique may ultimately be used, it is important to emphasize that workable options exist which do not require a variance. Denial of a variance is always a difficult decision for both staff to recommend and for the Planning Commission and City Coun- cil actually to make. In order to maintain consistency and to implement overall community goals, however, it is sometimes necessary. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the lot area variance for the Wahl property located at 3059 Brighton Common. Denial is recommended due to the fact that the requested variance does not meet the tests of undue hardship and minimum situation found in the Mound Zoning Code because of the availability of adjacent land which would alleviate the need for a variance. Staff fur- ther recommends that if the request is denied by the City Coun- cil, the City Attorney should be directed to prepare a statement on findings for denial which should be incorporated into the final resolution. 135 4 . ,7_~/,~--~,ii APPLICATION TO PLANNING & ZONING COMHISSION FEB 2 3 L, .... ,..!

The home on my cIient's property burned last December and .in order to rebuild, the city is requiring that my client obtain an additional 2,000 square footage of. land. The property in question consists of 50 feet of lakeshore which is Tracts C and D and the 40 foot lot which is Lot 21. My client has negotiated a trade with the adjacent property owner wherein'.he would .- trade either an undivided interest in the lakeshore or 25 feet of lakeshore for 25 feet of Lot 22 in Block 15 of Arden. The question we need answered is how Can the trade be accomplished without eliminating the right to have a dock on the lakeshore property.. It is. my understanding that 50 feet of lakeshore property is required in order to have one dock. would Mr. Wahl and his neighbor be required to jointly own the l'akeshore property or would the LMCD allow Tracts C and D to be owned separately and still have one dock between both parcels.

They requested that you come to the Council and review the legislative session of 1988 and particularily the issues dealing with the tax bill and its impact on cities. The Council will be receiving information from the League of Minnesota Cities dealing with the various issues that affect cities. They will have this information in advance of the June 14th meeting. I think the Council i.s really interested in having you speak about how the legislature' is responsible for establishing the process and .' formula by which property taxes are ca!cu!sted. This issue came to light recently through the Local Board of Review. These meetings were held on May 10th and May 24th, with Council taking action on properties whose owners appeared at these meetings regarding their assessed value. John Burger has asked to attend the meeting on Jun 14th, to share some time with the Council regarding his re-election. However, I am going to send a note to John asking him to give his comments on the 1988 legislative session and the process by which property taxes are calculated.

What the governor has done is picked the lxx~kets of ~urburban taxpayers. Gov. Perpich recently signed a tax bill which will ensure property tax increases statewide of more than $169,000,000. Of this amount, more than !}5 percent, or $161,000,000, comes from the metropolitan area. The suburbs of Hennepin County will see their taxes go up almost $61,000,000 as a result of the Governor's tax bill. Some "help"! Property taxpayers outside the metropolitan area will see their taxes go up just over $8,000,000. According to your article, the governor says "you have to look where the need is." Suburban taxpayers know where the need is for property tax relief: It's in the suburbs. The average property tax bill in the met- ropnlitan area for 19~8 is just over $700. In most suburbs it's substantially more than that. In outstate Minnesota, however, the average tax bill is $342, less than half that of the average metro Gov. Perpich apparently thinks that suburban taxpayers have more money to spend; therefore, more money to pay taxes with. Well, his tax policies ensure that suburban taxpayers do .pay a greater percentage of their income for property taxes. In the met- ropolitan area, homeowners are paying, on the average, 2.34 percent of their income on property taxes. In outstate Minnesota, "where the need is," they are paying only 1.74 percent of their income. Again, half as much of the average as metropolitan tz~xpayers. Gov. Perpich and the DFL majority lmve been playing a shell .game with the suburban .t~xpa.y. ers. Under the new tax bill, property zaxes in my outstate communities will actually go down, while those 'in the metropolitan area suburbs will go up next year, further ex- acerbating the equity disparity which currently exists. Suburban taxpayers should hold their legislators' feet to the ftre when it comes to explaining how and why they could support substantially higher property taxes for the suburban communities in light of the above facts.

Page 4 HOMESTEAD CREDIT 1989: Homestead and agricultural credit retained, but $700 maximum increased to $725. Special "targeting" credit provided in 1989 to homeowners who experience property tax increases of 10 percent or more. Targeting credit will equal 75 percent of the tax increase over 10 percent, up to a maximum credit of $250 (total tax increase must be at least $40 in order for taxpayer to qualify for targeting credit). 1990: Homestead credit eliminated beginning in 1990 and replaced by "transition aid.# Transition aid will roughly equal what the local unit received in homestead credit in 1989 minus 3 percent. For 1991 and beyond, this transition aid will continue to be paid to local units, but frozen at its 1990 level. Homestead credit will continue to be shown on property tax statements, even though it is eliminated beginning in 1990.

Page 17 TRUTH IN TAXATION REQUIREMENTS Beginning next year (for Payable 1990, all local units of government (except cities with populations under 2,500) must comply with the following requirements: 1. Adopt a Budget Early The local unit must adopt and certify a proposed levy to the county auditor by AUGUST 1 of every year. 2. Calculate a Levy Increase County auditors are required to calculate the tax increase proposed by levy increases for each local unit. The auditor is to calculate a "no increase" tax rate -- that is, the tax rate that when applied against the' current tax base would yield the same levy as the previous year's levy. In determining this tax rate, the auditor is to exclude new construction and additions. The auditor also calculates a "proposed" tax rate --that is, the tax rate that when applied against the current tax base including new construction and additions will yield the proposed levy requested by the local unit. 3. Local Unit May Amend Budget By AUGUST 8, county auditors must notify each local unit of its no-increase and proposed tax rates and the percent increase the proposed rate represents relative to the no-increase rate. The local unit has until AUGUST 15 to amend its proposed levy if it wishes. 4. Notifications to be Mailed to Every Taxpayer If there is a percent increase in property tax proposed by the local unit, then on or before SEPTEMBER 15, the county auditor is to compute for each parcel of property the proposed property tax and mail a notice of this increase to each taxpayer. The local unit is to reimburse the county auditor for the cost of preparing and mailing this notice first class. The form of the notice is prescribed in the law (see page 15 of this hand-out). Page Newspaper Advertisement of Budget Hearing On or before SEPTEMBER 15, the local unit is required to advertise a "Notice of Tax increase" in a local newspaper (see below for sample notice). This notice is to indicate the tax increase proposed by the local unit and the date and time of a public hearing. The law dictates that the advertisement must be no less than on-quarter page in size and that the headlines shall be in type no smaller than 18 point. The ad must not be placed in the part of the newspaper where legal notices and classified ads appear. The ad must be published in a newspaper of general paid circulation, preferably one that is published at least five days a week. Public Hearing to be Held Prior to OCTOBER 25 (new levy certificatin date), the local unit is to hold a public hearing to adopt its budget. At the hearing, the budget may be amended, but the final adopted levy must not exceed the original proposed levy. If it does, the local unit will be not be allowed to increase its levy. Evidence of Compliance Must be Provided When certifying its levy, the local unit must provide sufficient evidence (copies of newspaper ad, etc.) to the commissioner.of revenue verifying that it has complied with the Truth in Taxation requirements. The newspaper advertisement must be in the following form: "NOTICE OF TAX INCREASE" The ...(name of city) .... has tentatively adopted a measure to increase its property tax levy by ...(percentage of increase over no-increase rate)...percent. Ail concerned citizens are invited to attend a public hearing on the tax increase to be held on...(date and time).., at ...(meeting place)...

The new tax law does the following: Continues homestead credit for payable 1989, but eliminates it beginning in payable 1990 and replaces it with a new "transition aid;" Increases local government aid (LGA) for cities by $75.8 million in 1989 -- $62.9 million through a basic LGA formula and $12.9 million through an alternative LGA formula; Creates a new aid program, "disparity reduction aid," and funds it at $63.2 million in 1989 for the purpose of lowering taxes in communities where mill rates exceed 125 mills; Eliminates the current system of mill rates and classification ratios and replaces them with specific tax rates or "tax capacities" for each class of property; Subjects cities to a tight four percent levy limit and eliminates many special levies, but eliminates levy limits for cities under 2,500 population; Provides for the state takeover of most county income maintenance costs beginning in payable 1990; Provides a special credit of up to $250 for homeowners with tax increases over 10 percent in payable 1989; Subjects all local governments to extensive public notice and hearing requirements for proposed levy increases beginning in payable 1990 (so-called "Truth in Taxation" measure); and Imposes new restrictions on tax increment financing districts. Overview As this issue of the Cities Bulletin went to press, Governor Perpich had still not decided whether he would sign or veto the Omnibus Tax Bill. After reviewing the bill, the governor commented that the property tax portions of the bill may cost too much for too little reform. He is also concerned that the bill does not provide enough tax relief to com- munities in the suburban metropolitan area where large property tax increases are projected for next year. In the short run, cities will benefit from the large local government aid (LGA) increases that the new tax law provides. For 1989, LGA payments will increase a total of $75.8 million, up over 25 percent from last year's funding level. In addition, higher mill rate communities will receive additional disparity aid of $63.2 million. On the negative side, however, the new tax law once again imposes very tight levy limits on cities and requires 2 Session Review local units to adhere to costly and burdensome "Truth in Taxation" prbvisions. Addition- ally, the 1988 law restricts cities' use of the tax increment financing development tool. Not long after the session ended, legislative leaders who took part in fashioning the com- promise bill began saying that the Legislature will most certainly "revisit" the property tax issue next year. Controversy has surrounded whether to maintain and expand the homestead credit as the House recommended, or whether to scrap the credit and replace it with a new aid system that would ultimately distribute local aid on a different basis. The compromise tax bill ended up keeping the homestead credit for next year, but eliminate it in future years. Legislators, however, are concerned about how voters will react to headlines such as: "You can kiss your homestead credit goodbye" (St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch, May 1, 1988). Late in the session, computer runs from the House Research Department made it clear that the property tax relief under the tax bill would likely be swamped by the projected property tax increases for payable 1989. In particular, House Research is projecting that statewide net tax burdens will rise $169.5 million (or 6.1 percent) between payable 1988 and payable 1989 even after the new tax bill goes into effect. Metro area tax burdens are projected to increase $161.5 million (or 8.8 percent), while non-metro tax burdens are expected to rise $8 million (or less than one percent). Despite these concerns, some supporters say the new tax bill is the most significant property tax reform since the 1971 Minnesota Miracle. Most of the major reform provi- sions of the bill cme from key members of the Senate Tax Committee, particularly Senators Doug Johnson (DFL-Cook) and Steve Novak (DFL-New Brighton). The new law clearly represents a major overhaul of the property tax structure by eliminat- ing the homestead credit and replacing it with a new aid program; establishing two new and extremely complex LGA formulae; creating a new disparity reduction aid program to provide help to high mill rate communities; and eliminating the classification structure in favor of a system that will base taxes on fixed percentages of a property's market value. This new property tax structure raises a number of issues for cities: Could this new system of basing taxes on fixed percentages of market value turn into a Proposition 13 type system--especially if the state does not have the money to provide sufficient local aid to "guarantee" the one percent tax rate on homesteads in future years? Elimination of the homestead credit will mean that homeowners could lose much of the preferential treatment they receive under the current system. With no homestead credit, homeowners could be just as vulnerable to local tax increases as other types of property. Shielding homeowners from tax increases in the future will be more costly without the targeted homestead credit mechanism to channel relief only to homeowners. The intention of the authors of this bill is to .eventually channel all state aid to cities through the basic LGA formula (rather than providing some aid through LGA and some through the homestead credit, as under the current system). If the basic LGA Session evlew formula were fully funded, it would cost roughly $500 to $600 million per year. Such a high state expenditure for city aid could lead the state to be far more intrusive in city budgeting, dictating how cities should manage their finances, how large their reserves should be, or what services they should or should not fund through the property tax. In addition, the new basic program over time will tend to make low- wealth communities more dependent on state aid and high-wealth communities more dependent on local levies to fund services. Property Tax Effects Of New Law According to revenue department estimates, the property types receiving the most addi- tional relief under the new law vary by region. Within the metro area, high value homes over $68,000 and smaller businesses under $100,000 receive the most relief. In the non- metro area, both low-value and high-value homes and low-value and high-value businesses receive the most relief. Percent reductions in net taxes by property type for both the metro and non-metro area are indicated in Table 1. These revenue department estimates are based on the payable 1988 system and therefore do not account for: the workings of the school aid formula for payable 1989; increases in local levies; or increases or decreases in property values. Tables 3 and 4, however, do provide such projections for payable 1989.

These projections do include the effects of the new school aid formula on pay 1989 taxes, as well as the effects of projected increases in local levies and property values. It is important to keep in mind when review- ing Tables 3 and 4 that tax increases may be overstated for communities (particularly in the metro area) which are experiencing new construction of homes and business properties. Using this information, House Research projected that statewide net tax burdens will rise $169.5 million (or 6.1 percent) between payable 1988 and payable 1989 even after the new tax bill goes into effect. Metro area tax burdens are projected to increase $161.5 million (or 8.8 percent), while non-metro tax burdens are expected to rise $8 million (or less than one percent).

Session Review 7 Law Keeps Homestead Credit for 1989 A major bone of contention in the final days of the tax conference was whether to retain or abolish the homestead credit. The House, facing re-election this fall, argued to retain and expand the homestead credit while the Senate argued to abolish the credit and replace it with a new local aid structure. The new tax law retains the homestead credit for payable 1989, but abolishes it in payable 1990, replacing it with a "transition aid" (see description below). For payable 1989, the credit would continue to equal 54 percent of the gross tax paid on the first $68,000 of homestead value. However, the maximum credit would increase from $700 to $725. The law keeps the agricultural credit for payable 1989 in the same form it existed for payable 1988 (except no agricultural credit is available for seasonal recreational property). The agricultural credit, however, will go to all taxing districts, not just to schools as under current law. For payable 1989 only, a special "targeting" credit will go to homesteads with tax increases over 10 percent. The credit will equal 75 percent of the increase in property tax (after homestead credit and property tax refund) over 10 percent. The maximum credit is $250 and the credit does not apply to increases of less than $40. Homeowners in some suburban metropolitan communities may be eligible for this special credit. The taconite homestead credit also remains for payable 1989, but the law limits it so that the homestead would not receive a tax reduction of more than five percent over the previous year. "Transition Aid" Replaces Homestead Credit In 1990 Beginning in 1990, the law eliminates homestead and agricultural credits and replaces them with a new aid program called "transition aid." This was a victory for Senate tax conferees who argued that the current homestead credit has been expensive and has misdirected funds to higher wealth communities which are less in need of state assistance. Senate conferees also argued that the homestead credit has tended to overstimulate local spending and to interfere with local government accountability. For 1990, the transition aid for each local taxing jurisdiction will be roughly equal to what that jurisdiction receives in 1989 from the homestead and agricultural credit minus three percent of the jurisdiction's net tax. Allocation of aid among local jurisdictions will be in proportion to their levy for payable 1989. Beginning in 1990, the new tax law provides to local units a "homestead and agricultural credit' guarantee." This provision guarantees, a taxing jurisdiction that the amount it receives from the sum of education aid, transition aid, disparity reduction aid, local government aid, and county income maintenance aid will be greater than the homestead and agricultural credits it would have received computed under the 1989 homestead credit law. The law provides additional aid to fulfill this guarantee. 8 Session Review For 1991 and subsequent years, the 1988 tax law freezes future transition aid payments to each local government at the 1990 level. This differs from the stated intention of Senate conferees who maintained that, in the future, the transition aid should gradually decrease so that funding for LGA could increase. Although the law eliminates homestead credit in 1990, homeowners' property tax state- ments will continue to show a "state-paid homestead and agricultural credit." Elimination of the homestead credit means that homeowners will lose much of the preferential treatment they have received under the current system. In the future, as local taxes rise, homeowners will generally experience the same percentage increase in their tax bills as other types of property. Critics of the current system argue that the homestead credit has encouraged local spending because it has protected homeowners from the full impact of local tax increases and has thus made large tax increases more politically ac- ceptable. These critics contend that the new structure which eliminates the homestead credit will make local officials more accountable to voters and thus hold down local levy increases. On the other hand, making homeowners bear the full tax increase could end up putting more intense political pressure on the state to increase property tax relief (through LGA and other aid programs) in order to protect homeowners. The cost of shielding homeowners under this new system, however, will be more costly than under the old structure because there will be no targeted mechanism (like the homestead credit) to deliver tax relief directly to homeowners. Instead, tax relief must go through general aid programs which will reduce taxes on all property, not just homestead property. 'Tax Capacities' Replace Classifications--Tax Statements Change In an attempt to make the property tax system more understandable to taxpayers, the new tax law eliminates the current classification structure which applied varying assess- ment ratios to market values, depending upon the property type. Instead the new tax law creates "net tax capacities" for each property type. These tax capacities are simply tax rates that apply to a property's market value in order to calculate the tax. Thus, taxes are to be based on a fixed percentage of a property's market value. For example, for a homestead under $68,000 in value, the net tax capacity rate or tax rate is one percent. Thus, a $50,000 home would have a tax of $500. (The law uses the term "net" tax capacity rate because it is the tax rate, one percent, that is applied after counting the effect of the homestead credit. The "gross" tax capacity rate not including the homestead credit would be 2.17 percent.) Beginning in 1990, property tax statements will indicate the property's market value and the net tax capacity rate. The statement will show the property's initial tax to be the product of property's market value and the net tax capacity rate (one percent in the case of homesteads). The homestead credit will show up on homeowners' tax statements. The credit will be calculated as the difference between the property's gross tax capacity (2.17 percent times the property's value) and the net tax capacity (one percent times the property's value). The resulting decrease in tax will be indicated as the "state-paid home- stead and agricultural credit." The value of this homestead credit would increase if the market value of the home increases. Similarly, the value of the credit would decline if Session Review 9 the home's market value declines. Tax statements will also show the "decrease in tax at- tributable "state-paid tax relief," which will equal the sum of education aid, LGA, disparity reduction aid, and county income maintenance aid. Table 5 provides a sampling of new tax capacities compared to classification ratios under the old law. The larger classes of property receMng relief under this new structure are residential homesteads between $68,000 and $100,000 and commercial/industrial property between $60,000 and $100,000. TYPE OF PROPERTY Residential Homestead First $68,000 $68 - 100,000 OVer $100,000 TABLE 5 1988 CLASSI- NEW NET FICATION TAX CAPACITY RATIO RATE 17% 1.0% 2~ 2.5 27 3.3 Commercial/Industrial First $60,000 28 3.3 $60 - 100,000 43 3.3 Over $100,000 43 5.25 Agricultural Homesteads First $65,000 14 0.805 Over $65,000 18 2.2 Apartments 34 4.1 Residential Non-Homestead 28 3.5 (gross rate: (5.2 in 1991, 5.15 in 1992) (gross rate: 2.17%) 1.75%) Local Government Aid Increased $75.8 Million The 1988 tax law eliminates the old LGA formula and establishes two new LGA programs: a basic LGA program and an alternative LGA program. These new programs add a great deal of complexity to the current LGA structure. The 1989 funding level for these two new programs combined is estima?ed by the revenue department to be $372.8 million, up 25.5 percent from total 1988 LGA funding of $297 million. (See LGA print-out at the end of the Bulletin for total LGA increases for each city.) Under the basic LGA formula, cities will receive an additional $62.9 million in 1989 (revenue department estimate). The new basic LGA formula guarantees each city a min- imum base revenue amount (levy plus aid) of $160 per household; this guarantee in- 10 Session Review creases by $150 per household for each tenfold increase (or fraction thereof) in the num- ber of households. Thus, the larger the city, the larger the minimum revenue guarantee. (See Table 6.) No state aid would be available under the basic formula if the guaranteed amount per household can be financed locally by 23 percent of the jurisdiction's total taxable value (23 percent is specified in the formula to be the city portion of the jurisdiction's total taxable value). This basic formula is similar in concept to the school aid formula in that the state will finance the difference between the gm'ranteed amount per household and what the Iocal unit can raise locally. Lower wealth communities would thus tend to receive more state aid under the formula than higher wealth communities. These base revenue guarantees are increased by special factors. For cities of the first class located in the metro area (Minneapolis and St. Paul) and all cities located out- side the seven-county metro area, the base revenue guarantee is increased by $190 per household. In addition, for cities experiencing a decline in population (from the third year preceding the current year), the base revenue guarantee is increased by 15 percent. The law grandfathers previous LGA amounts and minimum and maximum increases app- ly. As a minimum under the basic formula, each city will receive in 1989 the amount of LGA .it received in 1988 plus a minimum increase of two percent. Cities receiving the minimum two percent increase (there are 60 cities in this category) are generally cities with wealthier tax bases. Under the new LGA basic formula, these higher wealth ci'ties are "off the formula" and are considered to be able to finance their revenue needs through their own tax base. As taxable values increase in the future (particularly in the metro area), more cities could move off the formula. As a maximum under the basic formula, a city can receive an increase as high as nine percent of the city's combined 1988 levy and LGA. However, the maximum increase under this basic formula is further limited to 20 percent of the city's 1988 levy or the initial aid amount, whichever is less. (The initial aid amount is the amount the city would receive under the basic formula if no limits applied.) Cities receiving the larger basic LGA increases are cities where the spending level (combined levy plus LGA) is well below the per household revenue guarantee in the formula. In addition to the basic LGA program, the new tax law creates an alternative LGA for- mula which will provide in 1989 $12.9 million in additional LGA increases to 77 cities. This formula, developed by the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, specifically ex- cludes smaller cities with populations under 2,500 and generally helps cities with below average taxable wealth. Of the 77 cities estimated to receive an additional LGA increase under the alternative LGA formula, 17 are located in the metro area and 60 in the non- metro area. For the future, the new tax law grandfathers these alternative LGA amounts by combining them with the basic LGA. Session Review 11 TABLE 6 BASIC LGA: BASE REVENUE GUARANTEES FOR 1989 NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS RANGES FOR BASE REVENUE GUARANTEE * 0 - 10 $160 11 - 100 161 - 310 101 - 1,000 311 - 460 1,001 - 10,000 461 - 610 10,001 - 100,000 611 - 760 100,001 and over 761 - 910 $63.2 Million In Disparity Reduction Aid Goes To High Mill Rate Communities In 1989, the new tax law will provide $63.2 million in disparity reduction aid to taxing jurisdictions where mill rates are high. Generally, jurisdictions whose equalized payable 1988 total mill rates are greater than 125 mills will receive disparity reduction aid. However, the disparity aid will not buy down mills attributable to school debt or referenda. Approximately 515 cities will receive disparity reduction aid in 1989. The highest es- timated amount is $10.9 million for the city of Duluth which has one of the highest mill rates in the state. Other large cities, such as Minneapolis and St. Paul, will also receive disparity aid. The amounts of disparity aid for each city are indicated in the print out at the end of this Bulletin in the column "Total Disparity Reduction Aid in City." These amounts, however, reflect the total aid available within the city; the city will receive only a portion of that aid since the aid must be allocated among local units in proportion to their gross levies. Disparity aid will continue beyond 1989, but the amounts will freeze in 1990 and subsequent years. The basic disparity reduction aid computation provides that the disparity aid equals pay- able 1988 gross levy in the taxing jurisdiction minus the jurisdiction's gross tax capacity. (Gross tax capacity is determined by applying the new tax capacity rates indicated in the law; these rates, however, are increased for the classes of property which receive the homestead credit. For example, the one percent net tax capacity rate for homesteads under $68,000 becomes a gross tax capacity rate of 2.17 percent.) It is this basic disparity aid computation that provides this aid to jurisdictions with total mill rates in excess of 125 mills. Alternatively, the disparity aid can be provided to jurisdictions with total mills below 125. The formula also provides that the aid can equal 20 percent of the difference between a city or town's gross levy and 23 percent of the jurisdiction's gross tax capacity. Proponents of this new aid program argue that such aid is necessary to even out the tremendous disparities in mill rates around the state. They contend that this aid is par- 12 Session Review ticularly helpful to business properties in high mill rate areas. Critics, however, argue that such an aid program tends to reward what may have been excessive spending by local units and at the same time it penalizes low-spending communities for their past frugality. The new law also provides that cities bordering Fargo, North Dakota will receive a dis- parity reduction credit in payable 1989 to reduce the taxes levied on apartment property to three percent of market value and the taxes levied on commercial/industrial property to 3.3 percent of market value. Permanent Tightening of Levy Limits The 1988 tax law subjects most cities to severe levy limits. For payable 1989, the levy limit will be four percent (of levy plus LGA minus special levies). This limit will drop to three percent in payable 1990. Only smaller cities with populations under 2,500 are ex- empt from levy limits. In addition, the new law eliminates most special levies. The only special levies remaining will be levies for: principal and interest on bonded indebtedness, certificates of indebtedness, and debt service (including state armory bonds); correcting auditors' errors of omission; * reduction of unfunded accrued pension liabilities; and * compensation to the state for the cost of state ordered reassessments. The only newly permitted special levy will be to pay debt service on tax increment financ- ing (TIF) revenue bonds that must be issued to cover TIF bond shortfalls caused by the new law's property tax reforms. For payable 1989, a city's levy limit will be determined as follows: 1) the levy limit base is equal to the city's payable 1988 levy plus 1988 local government aid, but minus special levies claimed by the city in 1988 (for metropolitan cities, the base includes fiscal disparity distribution levies); 2) the levy limit base determined in step 1 is increased by four percent (three percent for payable 1990) and by the percentage growth in population or number of households, whichever is greater, for the most recent 12-month period. (If no popula- tion growth or a population decline is experienced, the levy limit based determined in step 1 remains the same); 3) the amount determined in step 2 ("the adjusted levy limit base") is then reduced by the amount of LGA (both basic and alternative LGA) which the city is certified to receive in 1989; Session Review 13 4) step 4 yields the 1989 levy limit except that special levies (levies for debt, certain pension costs, etc. which are listed above) are exempt from this levy limit. The new tax law allows cities to appeal to the commissioner of revenue for an increase in the levy limit base if the city "can provide evidence satisfactory to the commissioner that its levy for taxes payable in 1988 had been reduced because it had made expenditures from reserve funds." This is similar to last year's appeal provision, except it is restricted only to adjustments for the use of reserves. 'Truth In Taxation' Requirements The 1988 tax law contains a "Truth in Taxation" provision that will require all local units of governments (not just cities, as was originally proposed) to notify each property owner of proposed tax increases and conduct a public hearing on the proposed budgets. This provision will not go into effect until payable 1990 (rather than payable 1989, as was originally proposed). In addition, cities under 2,500 population will not have to comply with this provision. The League lobbied against some of the elements of this measure. Fortunately, there is a one-year delay in the effective date of the provision. Therefore, there is a chance to work for repeal or substantial changes in the measure. The League raised the following objections: It may be impossible to differentiate tax increases caused by local budget increases from tax increases caused by declines or increases in property value. Local governments may find it impossible to make realistic projections by August 1 (as required by the law) of their budget needs for the coming year. Local units will be forced to overestimate budget needs out of fear they will be subject to the penalty which rolls their levy back to the previous year's dollar amount. County auditors do not have the necessary information to accurately compute proposed tax increases for each parcel of property by the August 8 date required by the bill. The Truth in Taxation requirements are costly. There are approximately four million parcels of property in the state. Counties estimate that mailing a notice to each parcel would cost $1 a piece. The quarter-page newpaper advertisement required by the law can cost as much as $1,500 to $2,000 for metro area cities. The requirements of the Truth in Taxation section of the bill include the following. 1) Every home rule or statutory city with a population over 2,500, county, school district, the metropolitan council, and the metropolitan regional transit commission must adopt and certify a proposed levy to the county auditor by August 1 of every year. 2) County auditors must calculate the tax increase of the proposed local levy for each taxing authority. The auditor must calculate a "no increase" tax rate--that is, the tax IqOO 14 Session Review 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) rate that would yield the same levy as the previous year's levy. In determining this tax rate, the auditor is to exclude new construction and additions. The auditor must also calculate a "proposed" tax rate--that is, the tax rate that when applied against the current tax base including new construction and additions will yield the proposed levy that the local unit requested. County auditors must notify the local unit of its no-increase and proposed tax rates by August 8 and the local unit has until August 15 to amend its proposed levy. If there is a percent increase in property tax proposed by the local unit, then, on or before September 15, the county auditor is to compute for each parcel of property the proposed property tax and mail a notice of this increase to each taxpayer. The local unit is to reimburse the county auditor for the cost of preparing and mailing this notice first class. The law prescrives form of the notice. It is supposed to indicate the "no increase" tax and "proposed" tax for each local unit separately and the time and 'place of each local unit's budget hearing. On or before September 15, the local unit must advertise a "Notice of Tax Increase" in a local-newspaper. This notice is to indicate the tax increase proposed by the local unit and the date and time of a public hearing. The law dictates that the ad- vertisement must be no less than one-quarter page in size and that the headline shall be in type no smaller than 18 point. The ad must not be placed in the part of the newspaper where legal notices and classified ads appear. The ad must be published in a newspaper of general paid circulation, preferably one that is published at least five days a week. Prior to October 25, the local unit is to hold a public hearing to adopt its budget. At the hearing, the budget may be amended, but the final adopted levy must not exceed the original proposed levy. When certifying its levy, the local unit must provide sufficient evidence (copies of newspaper ad, etc.) to the commissioner of revenue verifying that it has complied with the Truth in Taxation requirements. Property Tax Date Changes The new tax law changes certain dates for certifying local levies and for making LGA payments: The October 10 levy certification date will be delayed to October 25 of every year. The first installment payment of LGA and homestead credit/transition aid will be delayed from July 15 to July 20. Since July is the beginning of the state's fiscal year, the revenue department argued that the additional time ig needed because of high demand on the state's computer system at that time. Session Review 15 State To Assume County Welfare Costs In Payable 1990 Under the new tax law, the state will take over 100 percent of county costs for a variety of welfare programs effective for taxes payable in 1990. However. this aid will be directly offset by the amount of transition aid which each county receives for that year. The wel- fare programs that will be 100 percent state financed include: Aid to Families with Depen- dent Children, Emergency Assistance, General Assistance, Medical Assistance, Work Readiness, and Supplemental Aid. Budget Reserve--Greater Minnesota Corporation The 1988 tax law increases the budget and cash flow reserve account from $250 million to $265 million. Surplus general fund revenues will continue to be credited to the budget reserve until it reaches $550 million. The new law repeals the prior law allocations which, after reducing the property tax school recognition shift, directed one-half of remaining funds to the Greater Minnesota Corporation (up to $120 million) and one-half to the budget reserve (up to $550 million). The Greater Minnesota Corporation is further required to transfer $80.5 million to the general fund, representing the funds it had received from surplus revenues as a result of the January 1988 forecast. The "trigger tax" which allowed for an automatic across-the-board income tax increase of 0.25 percent if the budget reserve were to be estimated to be less than $150 million at the end of the 1988-89 biennium, and to increase to 0.50 percent if the reserve were estimated to be less than $50 million. Property Tax Refund The revenue department must restore "in full" the property tax refunds (for property taxes payable in 1987) and renter's credit (for rent paid in 1986) that the 1987 Legislature reduced by 33 percent. Interest is to be applied to any refunds made after June 15, 1988. For taxes payable in 1989 and rent paid in 1988, there will again be only one schedule for the credit (in 1987, there was a separate schedule for elderly claimants) which will provide less generous credit for filers. Miscellaneous Tipboards are now subject to the same taxes and regulations that currently apply to puli- tab gambling devices. Purchasers of tax-forfeited land, including local units of government that apply to use or purchase tax-forfeited land, must first pay the deed tax in order to receive a state deed. The law allows the city of Little Falls to issue $3.3 million in ~,6neral obligation bonds to refund the city's tax increment bonds issued in 1985. In addition, the city may ap- propriate the proceeds of the 1985 bonds to other municipal purposes. 16 Session Review The law gives the city of Hermantown authority, with local approval, to extend the tax- exempt status of property held for economic development for 10 years (currently eight years). The law authorizes Ramsey County to issue up to $2 million in general obligation bonds, without referendum and not subject to their debt limit, for restoration of the Union Depot. The law also authorizes the Metropolitan Council to make hardship loans to Washington County for relocation costs associated with the Big Marine Park plan. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING-.Bloody but Unbowed The 1988 Omnibus Tax Bill contains a number of provisions that will restrict cities' use of tax increment financing (TIF). Although some of these restrictions are qufte significant, the League was successful in defeating several harmful measures that would have tightened the tax increment law even more severely. Next year the TIF law will face a more major challenge. The Senate author, Senator Ember Reichgott (DFL-New Hope), has stated that she intends to develop far-reaching TIF legislation for the 1989 legislative session. Some of the issues under consideration include volume caps, restrictions on pooling projects, the "but-for" test, and county veto authority. The 1988 tax law imposes new restrictions on economic development districts within the seven-county metropolitan area. The increment from these metro-area districts may not be used for development where at least 25 percent of the square footage of the buildings is used for retail food and beverage service, automobile sales or service, recreation or entertainment facilities, golf courses, massage parlors, tennis clubs, skating facilities, rac- quet sports facilities, or racetracks. These restrictions do not apply outside the metro area. Efforts to restrict economic development districts to industrial development use only passed the Senate, but the conference committee removed the provision. The new tax law repeals soils condition redevelopment districts which had a 25-year dura- tional limit. Instead, it allows a special soils condition district with a shorter duration of 12 years. The law defines the conditions necessary to qualify as a soils condition district. These requirements include: the restriction that unusual terrain or soil deficiencies (that require substantial filing, grading, or other preparation) account for 80 percent of the acreage in the district; and that there be development agreements for at least 50 percent of this qualifying acreage. The law restricts the use of increment from these districts to acquire the parcels, pay the costs of correcting the soil problems, and pay associated administrative costs. Parcels within the district cannot sell for less than the cost of ac- quiring the property. An area which contains a wetland cannot qualify for a soils condition district unless the development agreement provides binding legal assurance for preserva- tion of the wetland. For districts in the metro area, the proposed development must also be consistent with the city's land use plan and the Metropolitan Council must review the plan. Outside the metro area, the proposed development must be consistent with the city's comprehensive land use plan. Session Review 17 The new tax law contains a flawed provision that would reduce by 55 percent the original mill rate (original mill rate * 0.45 percent) of districts certified during calendar year 1988, created after May 1, 1988. This original mill rate is used for the life of the district. The provision was included in the House bill, and would have adjusted mill rates according to the new classification ratios that were in law for taxes payable 1989. These classifica- tions were not included in the final tax plan, however this adjustment was not removed with the rest of the language. The State Revisor of Statute's bill would have corrected this technical error, but it failed to pass in the Senate. At the time this Bulletin went to press, it was not known whether the revenue department would have authority to issue an administrative order to disregard this technical error. Legislative staff advise that the provision will remain in law if the legislature is not called back for a special session, and that a retroactive correction might be passed during the 1989 session. The law now specifies the distribution of the excess taxes from the captured value of a district. If the actual mill rate applied against the captured value is higher than the original mill rate, the resulting excess tax are to be distributed to the municipality, county, and school district. The county auditor will calculate the distribution according to mill rate growth by each jurisdiction since the certification of the district. Certain districts certified before M/ty 1, '1988 will have to reimburse school districts for tax increment attributable to mill rate increases due to school referendum levies. In all cases, the referendum must be approved after the TIF district was certified. County boards may require TIF authorities to pay all or part of the cost of county road improvements if: use of the road(s) would substantially increase and be needed for the project, or if it is a soils condition district. If the road costs, combined with other project costs, exceed the projected district revenues, the county and the TIF authority must negotiate a compensation agreement before the project may be approved. Counties may require new and existing districts to also pay the "actual administrative expenses" by February 15 of the year after the year the county incurred the expenses. The county auditor must submit a record of the actual costs to obtain payment. Unless both county boards agree to waive the requirement, cities located in more than one county may not use the increment generated by a district located in one county for project costs incurred in the other county. Along with county boards, school district boards must now receive information on the fiscal and economic implications of a proposed TIF plan at least 30 days prior to the public hearing on the district. Efforts to extend the four-year knockdown provision to pre-1979 districts, and to exclude road and highway construction or improvements as sufficient qualifications for the provi- sion did not pass. The only change to the knockdown provision was to require the county auditor to be responsible for its enforcement based on evidence submitted by the local authority before February 1 of the fifth year following certification. Pre-1979 districts, which originally had 30-year cut-off dates for completion, must now end by April 1, 2001. Outstanding bonds issued prior to April 1, 1990 for pre-1979 districts will be exempt from this restriction ant2 ,$,ill need to adhere to the 2009 deadline. 18 Session Review The law clarifies the prohibition concerning "general government use" of increment revenues to include pre-1979 districts. Increment may not be used for aquisition, con- struction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a government building. It will no longer be possible to exclude from the assessed value of a project the value of improvements for which building permits have been filed within the three months prior to the district's certification. This provision had been known as the "three month window," for previously planned improvements. The new law modifies the definition of a ~housing districff to require that two-thirds, of the fair market value of mixed-use housing projects consist of low-income and moderate- income housing. Thus, one-third of housing projects may consist of commercial or other non-housing properties. Current law does not regulate the percentage of mixed-use housing projects. Increments from housing districts may only finance housing projects (including related public improvements and allocated administrative expenses). "Hazardous substance" sites are created. A hazardous substance site is an area for which the authority has entered into a development agreement that provides for the clean-up, or a development response action plan which provides moneys for clean-up. Development response action plans are to include removal plans that have been approved in writing by the PCA commissioner. Qualifications for these districts are referenced in the waste control and environmental response and liability acts. The law stipulates that towns may not undertake TIF projects if they are located outside the metro area or have a population of 5,000 or less. Summaries of New Laws COURTS Joint liability/future damages. Chapter 503 (H.F. 1493) repeals the 1986 tort reform provision which required the court to discount or reduce future damage amounts to their present-day value. It enacts a new procedure when awards are greater than $100,000; courts must hold a hearing prior to final judgment to consider whether periodic payments of the award are in the best interests of the claimant. Chapter 503 also provides that when a private party is less than 15 percent at fault for an injury, the maximum liability for that party will be four times the apportioned fault. Repeal of future damages effective for cases .pending or filed after April 13, 1988, joint liability modification provision ef- fective, for cases filed after August 1, 1988. Other effective dates.

Chapter 515 (H.F.1111) provides that if a child is charged with an aggravated felony and the crime represents criminal activity by an or- ganized gang, then it is a prima facie case for the child to be prosecuted as an adult. It is als0 a crime for an alleged juvenile delinquent who is 18 years old to escape from lawful custody. Effective August 1, 1988. Penalties and prosecution for issuing dishonored checks. Chapter 527 (H.F.2470) sets the penalty for issuing a dishonored check at one year imprisonment or a fine of not more than $3,000, or both, if the check is for more than $250.

Requires city attorneys to prosecute gross misdemeanor dishonored check violations. Allows aggregation of violations within six month periods. Effective August 1, 1988. Crime victims. Chapter 638 (H.F. 1754) requires a prosecutor to make every reasonable effort to notify a domestic assault victim that the prosecutor has decided to decline prosecution of the case or to dismiss the criminal charges against the defendant. A person that enters into any contract including employment contraccts, with an offender convicted in Minnesota must notify the state crime victim's reparations board of the existene, e of the contract and pay to the board money owed to the offender or the offender's representative by virtue of the contract. If the crime occurred in Minnesota, the person must pay 100 percent of the money owed under the contract; if the crime occurred in another jurisdiction with a law applicable to the contract which is similar to this section, this section does not apply. Effective August 1, 1988. Victims' rights provisions extended to ordinance violations. Chapter 649 (S.F.232) ex- pands the definition of crime to mean "conduct that is prohibited by local ordinance and results in bodily harm to an individual."

Chapter 551 (S.F. 1672) repeals the expiration date of housing and redevelopment authorities' power to provide interest reduction assistance. Effective January 1, 1989. J4o7 Session Review ELECTIONS Testing of election equipment. Chapter 424 (H.F.2558) requires cities using optical scan equipment to test the equipment within 14 days of an election and requires cities using punch card equipment to test the equipment within five days of an election. Prior law required testing within five days for all systems. Effective August 1, 1988. Secretary of state's housekeeping bill. Chapter 646 (H.F.2536) institutes a statewide com- puterized voter registration system which must satisfy the requirements for duplicate registration file; creates a voter registration account in the state treasury; sets procedures for county auditors to review and make changes to voter registration records; provides that the secretary of state may furnish precinct lists (county auditors currently have this authority); requires paper ballots for state partisan primary elections to have three verti- cal columns, with each major political party to be listed in a separate column; and sets additional requirements for ballot layout. The largest vote getter in last general election must go in the far left column. Punch card voting systems that cannot accommodate a party punch indicator may only be used at non-partisan primary elections. Effective August 1, 1988. Campaign practices. Chapter 578 (H.F.236) totally revises the campaign practices act, Minnesota Statutes 210A. Employers may not refuse or interfere with employee's election rights--the right to be absent from work for purposes of voting during the morning of election day for state general elections or elections to fill vacancies of U.S. senator or representative. Violation of this section is a misdemeanor and the county attorney must prosecute. Revisions to the campaign practices act include broadening the definition of "committee" to include corporations, associations, or two or more people acting together to influence a nomination or election or defeat of a candidate or question. Also, a committee or candidate for any elected office, including mayor or council posi- tions, which receives or spends more than $750 in a calendar year must submit an initial report within 14 days after receipt or disbursement of more than $750; another report by January 31 of each following year; and a final report when all debts and assests are settled. In addition, in election years when the candidate is on the ballot, additional reports are necessary 10 days before primary election, 10 days before general election, seven days before special primary, seven days before special election, and 30 days after special elec- tion. A filing officer (usually the city clerk) who issues a certificate of election to a candidate knowing that the candidate has not filed a statement is guilty of a misdemeanor. The filing officer must notify the county attorney immediately if a report has not been filed. A candidate who has violated this law may not be appointed to fill the vacancy during the term of office. Disclaimers are necessary on all literature and broadcast media materials that are not circulated on behalf of a candidate or committee. Newspapers and magazines cannot Itto8 22 Session Review accept political advertisements unless the disclaimer and ~paid advertisement" is included. Broadcasts on radio and television must include "paid advertisement" at beginning and end of advertisement. Intentional participation in the draftin~g of "defamatory" letters to · the editor is a misdemeanor. Effective for towns, cities, and counties on July 1, 1988; effective for school district elec- tions on Jan. 1, 1989. ENVIRONMENT Pilot erosion and sediment control program.

Effective with the ap- proval of the Ramsey County Board and the soil and water conservation district. Environmental quality board. Chapter 501 (S.F.2286) prohibits members of the environ- mental quality board from delegating their powers and responsibilities. The law provides that a development project can not start without a permit if an environmental assessment worksheet or an environmental impact statement is necessary. Injunctions or other court actions are available for enforcement, and upon the request of the board, the attorney general may bring action. The responsible governmental unit may assess the cost of preparing the environmental impact statement to the project proposer and may retain fees for the same purposes. Effective August 1, 1988. Criminal penalties for violation of pollution control statutes and rules. Chapter 553 (S.F.1674) makes persons guilty of gross misdemeanors (up to one year and/or $40,000 fine per day) if they willfully commit violations of water pollution standards or limitations. The law makes it a gross misdemeanor to make materially false statements to avoid compliance with water pollution laws or to falsify any monitoring device or method main- tained for the purposes of compliance with those laws. The penalty for monitoring and information offenses is not more than six months imprisonment and/or a fine of $20,000 per day of violation. Effective August 1, 1988. Liens against real property for clean-up expenses. Chapter 651 (S.F.412) allows the state to file a lien against all real property for which clean-up action expenses have been in- curred.

Chapter 685 (H.F.2031) allows a city to impose a fee of 35 cents per cubic yard of waste (currently 25 cents) and requires that 25 cents of the fee be used for landfill abatement or mitigating local risks. Revenue from 10 cents of the fee may go to general fund purposes. The law freezes metropolitan landfill fees until June 1989 and authorizes the legislative commission on waste management to study current fee structures and make recommendations no later than December 31, 1988. The pollution control agency must give local governing bodies notice prior to issuing a permit to a solid waste facility. If the local governing body requests, the agency must hold a meeting within 30 days after notification to allow alterations in permit conditions. The law bans plastic beverage container holders and plastic beverage containers and makes violation a misdemeanor. The act appropriates funds from the motor vehicle transfer fund to the waste management board for the waste tire management program, waste oil loans and grants, and market feasibility studies. Yard waste (grass clippings and leaves) Session Review ~3 are prohibited from landfill disposal after January 1, 1990 in the metropolitan area and January 1, 1992 in Greater Minnesota. Authorizes incinerator ash disposal in separate cells in a landfill provided top, bottom, and combined ash are tested. If the PCA deter- mines that separate samples ccannot feasibly by obtained, testing of only combined ash will satisfy law. Soils analysis and non-degradable plastics. Chapter 688 (H.F. 1000) requires the com- missioner of agriculture to establish a program to certify the accuracy of analyses from soil testing laboratories and to promote standardization of soil testing procedures and analytical results. The commissioner must institute a system to review samples from laboratories four times each year. Prohibits cities and other local governments from using non-degradable plastic bags after July 1, 1990. Similar prohibition for non-degradable plastic beverage rings effective July 1, 1989. Effective the day following final enactment, other effective dates. Environmental trust fund--lottery. Chapter 690 (H.F. 2182) proposes constitutional amendments, one to create an environmental trust fund, and another to authorize the Legislature to create a state-run lottery. As pact the of environmental trust fund, the legislation would create a 16 legislative member Minnesota Futures Commission to replace the present Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources. The commission will determine uses of trust fund proceeds, with the assistance of an Il-member advisory committee (appointed by the governor, with representation from each congressional dis- trict). Eligible uses of the trust fund include RIM (Reinvest in Minnesota); research that con- tributes to managing the environment or the state's natural resources; collection and analysis of information that assists in developing the state's environmental and natural resources policies; public education; capital projects for the preservation or protection of unique natural resources; activities that preserve or enhance fish, wildlife, and other natural resources that might be destroyed or impaired; and administrative expenses of the board of investment and the commission. Ineligible uses are superfund response actions; municipal wastewater treatment; decom- missioning of nuclear power plants; and solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities. Effective upon voter ratification. FINANCE AND REVENUE Town authority to impose lodging tax. Chapter 414 (H.F.1766) allows a town to impose a tax of up to three percent of gross receipts on a lodging establishment. The vote to impose the tax may occur at the annual town meeting or at a special meeting. Effective Augusi 1, 1988. Use of city reserve funds.

IqlO 24 Session Review Watershed borrowing authority. Chapter 445 (H.F.1950) increases the borrowing author- ity of watershed districts from a total of $50,000 to $200,000. Effective August 1, 1988. 'County bonding and special building funds. Chapter 519 (H.F. 1796) allows counties which have DTED-approved capital improvement plans to issue bonds to finance capital improvements without holding a special bond election. The law limits the "no-election" bond issues to a cumulative amount which can be paid by a current two mill levy. The law gives Hennepin and St. Louis counties authority to levy two mills annually, less amounts levied to pay existing bonds, for county building funds to construct administrative buildings, correctional facilities, law enforcement centers, and parks. Effective August 1, 1988, sunsets election requirement exemption July 1, 1993. Wastewater treatment bonding. Chapter 546 (H.F.2306) authorizes the public facilities financing authority to issue revenue bonds for loans to municipalities for waste water treatment systems. Effective April 19, 1988. Sale of economic development loans and securities. Chapter 580 (H.F.1399) authorizes community development corporations, port authorities, economic development authori- ties, and other economic development authorities to sell notes, mortgages, leases, lease purchase, and other obligations by obtaining loans through public or private sale. Allows the Minnesota agriculture and economic development board to give a grant of $500,000 to an organization that will engage in purchasing and packaging or selling economic development loans. Effective August 1, 1988. Public finance. Chapter 702 (S.F. 1963) makes several changes to bonding and other public finance matters, including authorizing home rule charter cities, unless prohibited by their charters, to issue capital notes for a broad range of equipment. Prior to this change charter cities were limited to issuing no more than one-tenth of one percent of their assessed valuation in any year. Now charter cities, unless proh!bited by their charter, can annually issue notes in an amount not to exceed one percent of their assessed valua- tion the same as statutory cities. Effective May 15, 1988. Additionally, prior to August 1, 1990, cities may issue and sell certificates of indebtedness and lend the proceeds to non-profit hospitals in anticipation of federal or state hospital revenues. Effective August 1, 1988. The law also authorizes investment of debt service funds in non-Minnesota city and state obligations with "A" or better ratings, certain housing finance agencies issues if there is a moral obligation of the state, and some guaranteed investment contracts. Effective April 29, 1988. Library levies exempt from limits. Chapter 720 (S.F.2292) exempts county or city levies for library services from levy limits. Effective August 1, 1988. Special service districts. The omnibus tax bill makes two significant chaanges to all spe- cial laws which have authorized particular cities to use special service districts. In all special servicce districts, the service charges the city imposes must, as nearly as possible, be proportionate to the cost of providing the service; and any landowner may object to the city council the inclusion of his or her property, and may appeal the council's deter- mination to district court. IClll gesslon Review 25 Also, the tax bill allows creation of special services districts in Robbinsdale and White Bear. In addition it grants Minneapolis authority to create a "downtown" special service district that includes among special services: the construction, maintenance and operation of pedestrian malls; snow and ice removal; street cleaning; capital improvement repair and maintenance; landscaping; security; and the operation of public transit. GAMBLING Gambling licenses. Chapter 705 (H.F.1941) extends the time period to 60 days (currently 30 days) for city councils or county boards to review applications for and renewal of licenses to conduct charitable gambling operations. Effective August 1, 1988. GENERAL GOVERNMENT Wastewater treatment. Chapter 686 (H.F.2344) forgives $32 million in outstanding state loans that Minneapolis and St. Paul received for separation of their combined sewers. The law re-directs prior appropriations of $6 million for supplemental grants to 53 com- munities that received wastewater treatment grants between October 1, 1984, and Sep- tember 30, 1987. These supplemental grants are the first phase of an attempt to make the grants to these communities equitable with amounts other communities received before and after these dates. To receive the grants, the city must have a population of 25,000 or less. The city may receive a grant increase of five percent of the total eligible costs of construction, up to the maximum entitlement for grants. It must inform other entities that are providing funding for construction of the treatment works of the grant increase, and repay any funds to which it is not entitled. Effective April 29, 1988. Counties not subject to bidding requirements for rental contracts. Chapter 409 (S.F. 1715) allows counties to enter in a contract for rental of equipment if the contract price is for $60,000 or less by obtaining two or more price quotations without advertising for bids. All quotations must be kept on file for at least one year. Effective August 1, 1988. Cable communication system crime. Chapter 410 (H.F. 1886) ma~es the sale, rental, offer, or advertisement for sale or rental of any piece of equipment designed to make an un- authorized connection to a cable system a felony with a maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment or a fine of $5,000, or both. Effective August 1, 1988. Human services licensing act and liability for municipal inspections. Chapter 411 (S.F.1594) provides that state indemnification for municipal investigations does not replace existing insurance. Effective August 1, 1988. Maintaining public restrooms. Chapter 429 (H.F.320) repeals a requirement that statutory and fourth class cities maintain separate male and female public restroom facilities. Effective August 1, 1988. HMO regulation. Chapter 434 (S.F.1861) regulates individual and group health main- tenance organization coverage. HMOs must provide evidence of coverage or a contract to enrollees which must contain limitations on the services and requirements for referrals, prior authorization, and second opinions. It must also contain the enrollee's rights, con- ditions for termination of coverage, and the continuation and conversion of the policy. 26 Session Review The commissioner of health may review complaints and make a determination or order' the HMO to use an expedited system to process the complaint. If the HMO terminates enrollee's coverage for a reason other than a failure to pay, moving out of area, or materially false sta. tement or misr. e. presentations, it must offer replacement coverage with- out evidence of insurability, without condition exclusion, and without interruption. Various effective dates. Authority to administer drugs. Chapter 440 (H.F.1784) allows a certified and licensed health care professional to prescribe and administer a legend drug within the scope of the the person's practice.

Chapter 711 (S.F. 1744) authorizes any statutory or home rule charter city or county to regulate potentially dangerous dogs and enacts a state dangerous dog statute administered through counties. The law defines dangerous dogs and poten- tially dangerous dogs based on their past behavior or potential behavior. Potentially dangerous dogs include those with a known propensity, tendency, or disposition to attack when unprovoked or to chase people on public property in an apparent attitude of attack. Counties may charge owners of dangerous dogs an annual fee, in addition to regular dog licensing, for a certificate of registration for such an animal. Registration of a dangerous dog must include a surety bond or liability insurance of at least $50,000 insuring the owner for any personal injuries that the animal might inflict. Counties must confiscate any dangerous dog if the owner does not have it validly registered, does not have the necessary liability insurance, does not maintain it in a proper enclosure, or has it outside the enclosure without a muzzle and not under restraint. Violation of registration or con- finement provisions are misdemeanors. The second offense of attack by a dangerous dog is a gross misdemeanor. The law sets out circumstances requiring confining and killing of such animals. Leaving a dog or cat unattended in a vehicle in a way that endangers the animal's health or safety is made a petty misdemeanor. Peace officers, animal officers, and volunteer or paid fire or rescue personnel are authorized to use reasonable force to enter a vehicle and remove a dog or cat which has been left in a vehicle when the animal is endangered.

METROPOLITAN Metropolitan Council program and budget requirements. Chapter 675 (S.F.2491) re- quires the Metropolitan Council's annual budget to state in detail expenditures for each program including expenses for salaries, consultant services, overhead, travel, printing, and other items. The budget must include the capital expenditures for that year, based on a five-year capital program. Any increase of over $10,000 must have council approval. The budget procedure of the council must include an evaluation of the effectiveness of each program. The council must transmit the evaluation to the Legislature annually along with a statement of the highway needs and problems of the metropolitan area. The law sets requirements on Metropolitan Council property tax levies for the right-of-way ac- quisition loan fund. Effective April 27, 1988. Metropolitan Council affirmative action plans. Chapter 680 (H.F.2596) requires the Metropolitan Council and metropolitan agencies to attempt to award nine percent of the value of all procurement to businesses owned and operated by socially or economically disadvantaged people; and six percent for consultant services or professional or technical services. The law requires the council and metropolitan agencies to develop affirmative action plans and submit them to the state department of employee relations for approval. Purchasing requirements effectie January 1, 1989; affirmative action provisions effective August 1, 1988. PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT Retiree health insurance. Chapter 605 (H.F.257) amends the definition of terms and con- ditions of employment of employer payment premiums for group insurance coverage for retired employees. It allows a public employer to negotiate with the exclusive representa- tive concerning an employer contribution to the state's deferred compensation plan. The bill states that failure to reach an agreement on employer payment of, or contributions toward, premiums for group insurance coverage of retired employees is not subject to interest arbitration. The new law provides that an employer is not obligated to fund all or part of the cost of health care benefits for a former employee beyond the duration of the contract or personnel policy. A policy may not extend beyond the termination of the contract of longest duration covering other employees of the employer or, if none, the termination of the budgetary cycle during which the policy is adopted. Under the law, public employers may contribute to the Minnesota deferred compensation plan in amounts provided for in the personnel policy or in the collective bargaining agree- ment not exceeding $2,000 per year per employee. The employee must match dollar-for- dollar the public employer's contribution'. Compensation for accumulated sick leave or payments an employer makes toward premiums for group insurance policies for former employees, need not be counted toward the one-year pay limit on severance pay. 3O Session Review Local governments must identify in their budgets the amount they spend on health in- surance benefits payments during the contract or policy period. If the local government makes payments for employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, those benefits must be approved by separate action of the city council. Local units providing for employer-paid health care benefits must coordinate those benefits with Medicare. The law repeals language that had required each retiree, who was receiving employer- paid health insurance, to agree to a reduction in the aggregate value of benefits before the employer could implement the reduction. Retiree health care or severance pay con- tracts or personnel policies in effect since August 1, 1986 are valid for purposes of'this law. Effective the day following final enactment. Minneapolis police and fire pensions. Chapter 574 (S.F.2102) is special legislation relat- ing to the Minneapolis police and fire funds. It authorizes, with Minneapolis City Council approval, increases to police and fire retirees based upon investment earnings over five percent annually to the extent that they are more than 1.5 percent over active employee salary percentage increases. This benefit would be in addition to the present cost-of-living adjustment "escalation" which increases pensions of retirees by the same percentage as the wage increases of active officers each year. These "extra" earnings would split three ways, with one-third going to the retirees as a benefit increase (13th check each year), one-third going to reduce the state amortization aid payments, and one-third to reduce the city's required contribution to the fund the following year. Although this legislation applies only to Minneapolis and its funds, and is not effective without the approval of the city council, it could create a pattern which police and fire fund members in other local police and fire funds will. copy. PERA police and fire fund members, who are in a plan that is better funded than any of the local plans, will also have a strong argument for adding an escalator if Minneapolis approves this legislation. Effective upon local approval by Minneapolis. Volunteer firefighter pensions. Chapter 719 (H.F.2590) (Omnibus Tax Bill, Article 19, Section 22) provides for a state-paid supplemental benefit to volunteer firefighters who receive involuntary lump sum distributions. The amoun~ of the supplemental benefit is 10 percent of the recipient's lump sum distribution, not to exceed $1,000. The firefighters' relief association pays the benefit and the commissioner of revenue reimburses the relief association in March of each year for the total amount of supplemental benefits paid during the previous calendar year. The supplemental benefit is in lieu of the income tax exclusion for lump sum distributions. PERA amendments. Chapter 709 (H.F.2477) redefines public employee for purposes of PERA coverage. Any person first employed or elected after July 1, 1988 who earns less than $425 per month is excluded from PERA participation (current threshold is $325). The law also excludes any employee or elected official receiving less that $5,100 per year (as stipulated in advance and in writing). If an employee earns more than $5,100 per year or remains employed after six months, the employee becomes a PERA participant begin- ning with the first month that contributions exceed $425. Probationary employees, hired for indefinite employment, may not be excluded from PERA on the under-six-month exclusion. 1 117 Session Review 31 The law defines termination of public service. Employees who terminate public service from a position that was excluded from PERA participation under the six-month or $5,100 rule, but who return to public service within 30 days in another excluded position, will be considered a PERA member from the beginning of re-employment unless the total period covered by all employment periods is less than six months or does not exceed the dollar limitations. Payments to an employee in the form of lump sum sick leave payments and payments to an employee who carries single health insurance coverage but receives the difference between dependent coverage and single coverage are not considered salary for PERA reporting. The law expands the definition of a dependent child to include a child age 18 to 21 who is attending an accredited school or university but has been determined to be medically unable to continue school on a full-time basis. The subdivision now requires accreditation of the school as a condition of eligibility for dependent child status for 18 to 21 year olds. City managers may elect out of PERA within six months from the start of employment. The law provides for refunds of contributions managers made b: 'are the election. Employers have authority to submit an exception report listing those public employees who are not PERA members, rather than submitting a carbon or duplicate copy of the payroll abstract. The law also makes changes to the defined contribution ambulance volunteer plan which will begin within PERA on July 1, 1988. The law removes the former 60-month vesting period and money in individual accounts will be available immediately to terminating participants. These sections are effective July 1, 1988. Under the law, public pension plan members may participate in Medicare coverage if the employees do not have social security coverage. The: mployer must conduct a referen- dum of all employees eligible for this optional Medicare coverage. A majority of the eligible participants within a plan, i.e. PERA, must agree for the plan to take effect. If the referendum is approved, coverage is effective for all new participants on the first of the month after the governor certifies the referendum approval, but the new participant has the option to elect coverage retroactive to April 1, 1988. Effective the day following final enactment. The law contains a special exclusion from PERA coverage and contributions for Min- netonka volunteer firefighters, effective upon the Minnetonka city council's approval. PERSONNEL Employer reprisals.

Chapter 702 (S.F. 1963) includes among many p~blic finance matters the adoption of new deadlines and penalties for the local government comparable worth studies and implementation. Ail local governments that employ 10 or more people and have not yet filed a report with the state must now do so by October 1, 1988 and the plan of implementing any identified inequities must be completed by December 31, 1991, unless the report was filed before October 1, 1987 or the commissioner approves. Plans need not contain market studies. If the report is not filed by October 1, a special levy limit will apply, which is the 1988 levy, minus debt service and unfunded accrued pension liabilities, plus local government aid, adjusted to account for the percentage growth in population or homesteads, and multiPlied by 103 percent and reduced by anticipated 1989 local government aid. In short, a three percent levy limit versus a four percent increase limit for reporting cities. In 1992, if the commissioner of employee relations finds, after notice and consultation with a local government, that it has failed to implement its equitable compensation plan by December 31, 1991 or other approved later date, the 1992 local government aid will be reduced by five percent. The commissioner of employee relations may waive the penalty upon making a finding that the failure to implement was attributable to cir- cumstances beyond the control of the government or to severe hardship. Effective August 1, 1988. Workers' compensation cancer presumption. Chapter 717 (S.F. 2452) enacts a presump- tion that active firefighters who contract a disabling ccancer caused by heat, radiation, or carcinogen exposure have an occupational disease for workers' compensation benefits.

May 2, 1988 EXPLANATION OF TAX IMPACT PRINT-OUT: OMNIBUS TAX BILL VS. CURRENT LAW The print-out that follows was prepared by the Revenue Department. It provides estimates of the effects of the new tax law on various types of property within cities with populations over 500. The print-out shows what the total effects of the property tax changes contained in the new tax law would be if these changes were applied in payable 1988. [The property tax changes simulated include changes in classification ratios (tax capacities), the addition of Disparity Reduction Aid, and increases in Basic and Alternative LGA.] These' effects will differ when actually applied to payable 1989; in 1989, local levies may be higher or lower and property values may be higher or lower in some communities. In addition, the effects of changes in the school aid formula in 1989 are not simulated on this print-out. A description/definition of each column follows: "CURRENT AUDITOR'S TOTAL MILL RATE": This column represents the combined (city, county, school district and special district) mill rate in the city. #PROPOSED AUDITOR'S TOTAL MILL RATE#: This column indicates the new combined mill rate in the city after the effects of the new tax law. #PCT. CHG. IN TOTAL NET TAX#: This column indicates whether total net tax burdens on all property in the city would decline or increase as a result of the new tax law. A negative number means property taxes would decline in the city; a positive number means taxes would rise. #PCT. CHG. HOMESTEAD NET TAX#: This column indicates whether property taxes for all homesteads in the city would decline or increase as a result of the effects of the new tax law. Due to changes in the classification structure (tax capacities), in some communities, low-valued homes may experience tax increases while high-valued homes would receive tax breaks. A negative number indicates that homestead property taxes would decline in the city; a positive number means taxes would increase. However, a negative number may still mean that low-valued homes in a city might experience a tax increase. #PCT. CHG. COMM./IND. NET TAX": This column indicates whether property taxes for all commercial/industrial property in the city would decline or increase as a result of the new tax law. Due to changes in the classification structure (tax capacities), in some communities, low-valued business property may get a larger tax break than high-valued businesses. A negative number means business taxes would decline; a positive number means taxes would rise. #PCT CHANG. APARTMENT NET TAX#: This column indicates whether property taxes for apartments in the city would decline or increase as a result of the effects of the new tax law. A negative number indicates that apartment property taxes would decline in the city; a positive number means taxes would rise.

May 2, 1988 EXPLANATION FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID PRINT-OUT The print-out that follows was prepared by the Revenue Department. The LGA increases indicated on the print-out are only ESTIMATES, not the final amounts that will be certified to cities in August. These estimates will be updated in June and July when more up-to-date information on tax capacities and number of households becomes available. A description/definition of each column follows: "TOTAL DISPARITY REDUCTION AID IN CITY": This column indicates the TOTAL estimated Disparity Reduction Aid to be provided within the city in 1989. The city will receive only a portion of this aid. This total aid is provided to counties, school districts, cities and special districts in proportion to their levy. In other words, if the city levy represents 25 percent of the total levy, then it will receive 25 percent of the disparity reduction aid shown in this column. "LGA INCREASE UNDER ALTERNATIVE FORMULA#: This column indicates the LGA increase under the Alternative LGA formula before subtraction of the LGA increase provided by the Basic LGA formula. The Alternative LGA formula requires that both the Basic LGA increase and the Disparity Reduction Aid increase be subtracted from the Alternative LGA increase. "LGA INCREASE BEFORE ALTERNATIVE FORMULA": This column indicates the LGA increase that is provided under the Basic LGA formula alone. #AMOUNT THAT ALTERNATIVE INCR EXCEEDS ORIG INCR#: This column indicates the amount which the Alternative LGA formula adds to the final combined LGA increase. This column includes the subtraction of the basic LGA increase and disparity reduction aid from the Alternative LGA formula amount. There are 77 cities for which the Alternative LGA formula provides additional aid. (Second column nimus third column) "FINAL INCREASE IN LGA OVER 1988 AMOUNT": This column indicates the total LGA increase (Basic plus Alternative LGA increase) that will be provided in 1989.

Shukle, 3r., City Manager City of Mound 5541 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55564 SUBJECT: Material Storage Area City Hall Site MFRA #8659 Dear Ed: As requested, we have prepared a preliminary plan and cost estimate for construction of a material storage area on the City owned property west of City Hall. This site will require extensive clearing and grading work due to the topography and tree cover. A series of retaining walls will be used to serve not only as a wall for grade separation, but also to provide bins for containing the different road materials. The limits of the completed project would be approximately 50 feet from the west wall of City Hall. The actual usable area is approximately 50,000 square feet, including two driveways from Maywood Road and one from the present City Hall parking lot. The attached cost estimate includes a gravel surface over the entire area, which should be adequate. It would cost approximately $21,000.00 extra to pave the area with 4" of bituminous. The entire area would be enclosed with some type of security fence, part of which should also be screened where it abuts the single family housing to the south and southwest. It appears the existing watermain through the site should be okay in its present location. As you will note, we have also included a cost estimate for improving the remainder of Maywood Road across the north side of the site. We feel this improvement would be necessary to provide adequate access to the site. Maywood Road is a M.S.A. street; therefore, M.S.A. funds could be used to finance the major portion of this construction. An expanded parking area for 15 employee vehicles has also been included with the proposed street improvement. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact US.

The current ordinance states, "Only two such Temporary On-Sale permits shall be granted to any club or charitable, religious, and non-profit organization within any one calendar year". They are requesting that the Council consider increasing these Temporary On-Sale Permits from two to four in any one calendar year. There is nothing in the State Statute that restricts a City to any particular number of permits in one calendar year. fc 1 An equal opportunity Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or handicapped status in the admission or access to. or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities.

May's Activity Report We started the month by getting our blacktop equipment out of storage and getting it ready for the summer. We had some repair work to do to the steering appartus on the roller and a complete service job. We also serviced the oiler and had it filled at Allied Blacktop Co. in Osseo. We repaired the water main breaks on the County Roads first, so we could get them out of our hair. We ended up with 17 water & sewer patches. We used a total of 73 tons of hot mix and alot of labor. The work was completed by the 20th. We are working on the streets that are scheduled for sealcoating. This year we're going to seal about 8 miles, hopefully we'll have them patched by the 15th of June. We're shooting for Allied to move in the last part of June or the first part of July. We spent about $5,000 this month to repair some curb & gutter that had to be removed because of watermain breaks and also 4 driveway aprons do to curb box repairs. The 17th we hung up the Mound City Day's banners and also the Around Mound Run banners. We had the sweepers out 3 times to clean the down- town area and also we swept the streets around the new Public Works building.

May's Activity Report In May we pumped 34,602,000 gallons of water. There were 4 new accounts, 13 T-off for non-payment, 24 final readings, 3 outside readers installed and 10 outside readers reset. The water tower at Chateau needed repair this month, seems that the flanged joint at the base of the stand pipe shifted causing the flange to break. Ford Tank repaired it in 3 days. The cost was $5,800. The County Road 15 project is coming along fine. Have been locating services alot. The water and sewer lines have been installed at Norwood Lane. We have been pumping alot of water since the middle of the month. We have not put on a water band, with the 4 wells running we have not yet reached the danger stage. If the dry weather continues we will be watching the storage level very closely. If they drop too low we will then impose a watering band. SEWER DEPT. In the Sewer Dept. we are still trying to finish up with the wet wells. We had 1 sewer back-up at Langdon Lane. We televised the line and found that there is 70' of pipe that has a back pitch. Widmers has the bid of $6,440. to relay the pipe. One reason that we have yet to finish wet wells is that we have to locate and raise manholes and gatevalves for the seal coating project in July.

They were still picking up at 8:30 p.m. that night. There was a flyer that went out in the Laker on May 28. ! myself did not receive one so I was quite worried they had forgetten to deliver them. On May 23 there was a meeting for all the Recycling Coordinators by Hennepin County. Hennepin County gave us the schedule for the containers June 23, approve specs., July 12 mail specs., July 26 open bids, August 4 award bids. The County will be paying $4.00 per container. The containers will take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Each City has to order their own containers from the company. For the month of May 17.79 tons of material was picked up. This is the most we've ever had since the program started. The household count went from 345 in April to 678 in May. This was quite a good month.

The following months of June, July and August will show a greater increase in expenditures and will not taper off until September. At that time, the department begins losing seasonal help. May has been a month where a number of projects have begun. Currently, we are installYng park playground equipment, rip rap- ping and doing daily park maintenance. I feel this summer will be a very productive one and the staff will perform very well. PARKS The new playground equipment is being installed at Pembrooke, Belmont and Clover Circle Parks. We have received our new mower and trailer which will greatly Melp in keeping up with the grass. COMMONS The low water in Lake Minnetonka this year again has presented us with problems of weeds and limited boat access. We have been receiving many inquiries about dock lengths to gain enough water depth fOr boats. Also, there have been complaints about the smell.'of the lake weeds. All that can be hoped for is moisture through rain. The Minnehah@ Watershed has not let any water over the dam in some time. The wind and hot days and no rain and the small amount of winter snow fall has all contributed to this current problem.

There have been significant changes in the property tax system for future years. I will be at the June 14th Council meeting to review some of the changes that would be of interest to you. CBD MEETINGS We had a meeting about the future of the CBD assessment program with all the property owners located in the Central Business District. The many changes in the downtown area has caused problems for the allocation of costs for the annual assessment. The movement of a number of businesses has left a heavier burden on remaining businesses. The consensus of the property owners was that the program was important to keep the downtown together. Without the program, each property owner would be responsible for maintaining their own parking lots. Businesses without parking would have to negotiate a parking arrangement with the owners that have parking lots. That situation could become chaotic and hard to make equitable for both parties. The property owners were concerned about the costs of the program. They inquired about what the City could do to help out during this difficult period downtown. We are looking at alternatives to address this problem and plan on making a recommendation to the Council in July. NATIONAL CONFERENCE I attended the National Government Finance Officers Association Meeting May 1-4, in Atlanta. The keynote speaker was Nicholas Brady, Chairman of the Presidential Task Force that analyzed the stock market crash of October 19, 1987. He was concerned that Wall Street and Washington are not taking proper measures to prevent a reoccurance of the October crash. Griffin Bell, former An eaual opportumty Employer tt~at does not discriminate on the basis of race. color, national or,gm, or handicapped MAY FINANCE REPORT JUNE 8, 1988 PAGE 2 U.S. Attorney General, spoke about the recent Supreme Court ruling that gives Congress the right to tax municipal bonds. This ruling does not mean that municipal bonds will be taxable in the future. However, Congress may consider taxing municipal bonds as a way to reduce the federal .deficit. If Congress did this, it would increase the cost of local governments and be ultimately paid for by the taxpayers. I attended a number of informative sessions during the conference. I earned 14 hours of Continuing Professional Education credits required to keep my CPA certificate current. The conference was a valuable experience for me and I appreciate your support in allowing me to attend.

JN:ls CITY of MOUND 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 June 7, 1988 TO: CITY MANAGER FROM: CITY CLERK RE: MAY MONTHLY REPORT The Council had 2 regular meetings and 1 special meeting in May. There were minutes and 14 resolutions from these meetings. There were a number of phone calls before the May 10th Local Board of Review as to the procedure to follow. There were also calls on the additional street lighting on Shoreline Blvd. that was on the · May 10th Agenda. I have started to set up the format for the 1989 Budget on the new computer with the Lotus program. This has been a real learn- ing experience because it is quite different from the Super Calc program that was on the old computer. I worked in the vault clearing a spot for the new election equip- ment (the Optec III-P computers) which are expected to be delivered in early June. The ballot boxes were delivered to I.P. Hall where they will be stored until, the elections. I did research for you on a variety of projects, i.e. the Wes- tedge property; lift stations on private property; etc. I attended the annual IIMC (International Institute of Municipal Clerks) Conference from May 21 - May 27. The theme this year was "Wings to the Future" and was reflected in the variety of topics covered in the educational sessions, presentations and the exten- sive exhibits. I feel this conference helps me to acquire knowledge that can be used in Mound to better serve the residents and my profession. There were over 40 different workshops on a variety topics, such as elections, communications, excellence in local government, supervising, management, wellness, to name a few. There were the usual calls from residents and tax forfeit property and other various items. I would like to take this opPortunity to thank you for your patience and understanding for the work that I have been doing on the Mound City Days Celebration. fc 1 /',~-. e.qual oppcrtunit?, Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of race. color, nationa! origin, or handicapped status in the adrniss*on or access to. or treatment or employment in, its F, rograms and activities.

We grossed $85,296. with only four weekends to do business in, compared to last year when the calendar graciously blessed us with five weekends. Last year, May's sales were $78,866. And to top it off, we were closed Memorial Day this year, which I will explain later in my report. Thus, .we are $30,279. ahead of last year's pace. So far the Highway 15 Facelift Project has not out into business. I am still apprehensive as to what may happen to sales when they get around to paving through the intersection of Highway 15 and Wilshire Blvd. We had two product tastings last month which were very successful. One was conducted a day before Mother's Day, when we sampled a new cordial line called "Georgia Brand Liqueur". The three products tasted were: Peaches n Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake and Banana's n Cream. They were quite tasty and low in alcohol. On the Saturday before Memorial Day, we featured California Wine Coolers at a special $2.98/4 pk. Ten cases were sold and I am sure a good time was had by all. The month of May was not good to us in terms of equipment repair. Nothing major to report. Just some nuisance adjustments such as a motor going out on a cooler fan and a cash register that had to be brought into the shop for maintenance. Approximately $200. damage. I do hope that our registers hold out for another year. They have reached their life expectancy I am told. The decision to be closed Memorial Day was made by myself and supported by Mr. Shukle. I explained to Ed that last year's sales were a paltry $1100. Of course, last year it was rainy and cold on Memorial Day and this year it was hot and humid. Ah, hindsight is far better than foresight. Anyway, when discussing it with Ed a few weeks ago, we figured that we needed a day's sales of around $2,000 to break even.

He has been replaced by John Breitner, Plumbing Inspector From Minnetonka, and a Min~-,~atonka Beach resident. He was a Former Mayor of Minnetonka Be~ch and his son is a Mound resident. The Following inspections were conducted during the month through May 30th, 1988: * Site inspections 40 Footing inspections Framing inspections 5 Insulation inspections Drywall inspections Final inspections 18 Progress inspections 23 Erosion/Grading inspections 3 House moving/Demolition Heating inspections Plumbing inspections 6 Fire Sprinklers/Fire Code Complaints Total This 1 ist of inspections does not include 3~ inspections conducted by the substitute inspector during my absence with 4 plan reviews.

Shukle Manager City of ~k~nd 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Because the legislation passed this session allowing for the override of local approval for the acquisition and condemnation of land for a Lake Minnetonka Regional Park establishes a precedent that has specific significance for Lake Minnetonka cc~m~nities, I am sending you some items of information for your reference and consideration: - a copy of the language included in the state depaf~-~nts · appropriations bill - a copy of my editorial celt.tent on the legislation - Hennepin Parks statement on the legislation - Article XII of the N~nnesota Constitution - Special legislation; Local Government and a related portion in statute (645.023) - a copy of Michael Krause's opinion in the April 28, 1988 edition of Weekly News. You will note that the legislation attempts to circumvent the constitutional protection of local government by treating Hennepin Parks as a local unit of Government being given increased authority (645.023, subd. l(a)). 5he Metropolitan Council which will have the power to authorize condemnation is also brought under that umbrella with the application section covering all seven Metro counties which have a cc~bined population of over one million people (645.023, subd l(c)). If this legislation is allowed to stand, it will greatly improve the prospects for gaining control of shorelands around Lake Minnetonka when the I/W~D governance and lake manag~nent authority is changed. %~ere is no question in my mind that the Metropolitan Council criticism of IF/iD has less to do with surface water management (to which their existing authority is limited) and more to do with land uses around the lake, particularly as it affects public use and access.

Spring Park, Tonka Bay and x,¥bodland I 'lg May 31, 1988 Page 2 Threatening to seek "Critical area designation" for Lake Minnetonka and refusing to provide financial assistance for a major lake management study which they insist is necessary are further illustrations of the power by intimidation being exercised against the lake c~,~L~nities. I sat in on a meeting of the LMCD board with the System C~L,,.~ttee of the Metropolitan Council held recently at the Freshwater Institute. Other than the member whose district includes White Bear Lake, which is next on the list, I heard nothing that w~uld indicate they are wavering fr~x~ their pursuit of changing the governance of Lake Minnetonka and increasing their land use authority as a means of gaining greater access. Their staff has indicated since that meeting that they expect the study to reoa~,~nd the governance changes they desire. If Article XII, Section 2 of the Minnesota Constitution means what I believe was intended, that land use authority could not be obtained without the approval of the governing bodies of the cities affected or a vote of its citizens unless the Metropolitan Council or other agency is given that authority over all local units of government in the Metro area. Obviously, the broader authority would be much more difficult to achieve politically. If their success in overriding the approval of one conm%mity goes unchallenged or is upheld, the precedent will be clear and its potential application to the larger lake issue likely. You may also be interested in knowing that the Citizens' League has selected metropolitan managem~_nt of lakes as one of their study topics for next fall. Information will be widely disseminated prior to the formation of that study c~,~.~ttee. Because Lake Minnetonka, an important public resource, is also important to the life and health of each of our lake c~,~u%ities, I wanted to share this perspective with you for your reflection and possible action prior to the next round of legislative activity. What is needed is creative leadership in finding solutions that respect and balance the rights of the public and affected individuals and c~t,manities. Thus far bureaucratic power and control has been the course pursued. Perhaps the Citizens' League will provide a bright spot of leadership. Sincerely, Gen Olson State Senator CC: Lake area legislators LMCD members Dirk deVries and Marcy Waritz, Met Council STATE DEPARTMENTS APPROPRIATIONS BILL 24 Sec. 26. [REGIONAL PARK ACQUISITION.] 25 Subdivision 1. [LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.] The legislature 26 finds that there is a need for a regional park on Lake 27 Minnetonka to serve the recreation open space needs of the 28 citizens of the entire metropolitan area and that it is in the 29 pUblic interest to authorize acquisition of land for such a park 30 in accordance with the master plan approved by the metropolitan 31 council. 32 Subd. 2. [ACQUISITION.] Notwithstanding any contrary 33 provision of law, the suburban ~ennepin regional park district 34 may acquire real property for a Lake Minnetonka regional park by 35 purchase, gift, or eminent domain pursuant to Minnesota 36 Statutes, chapter 117, without local consent or approval by any 37 affected municipality or other local governmental unit. 38 Subd. 3.

From the Office of: State Senator Gen Olson 133 State Office Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 2/296-1282 EDITORIAL OPINION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 1988 While the Hennepin Parks Board and the Metropolitan Council are rejoicing in their legislative victory, the future of the Lake Minnetonka Regional Park in Minnetrista remains uncertain. Because warfare rather than peaceful negotiation and compromise was chosen as the tactic to achieve their desired end, a strong possibility exists that no park worthy of the name could be attained. If Hennepin Parks had been open to reasonable compromise, the development of an exceptional park could have gone forward this year with city and neighborhood blessing. The passage of the provision to override local approval required in current law before Hennepin Parks can acquire or condemn private property for this park was achieved only by incorporating it in the traditional "garbage" bill, the bill funding departments of state government. This is the bill that has something in it for enough legislators to insure its passage but also includes items that could not pass on their own merit. The Lake Minnetonka Regional Park provision had neither funding nor anything to do with a department of state government. It also had failed to pass a Senate policy committee, a normally required step in the process for a bill to become a law. In 1986 the Minnesota Supreme Court issued a strong warning to the gislature that it would not tolerate the continuation of the "garbage bill" practice which is a flagrant violation of the Minnesota Constitution, Article IV, Section 14 prohibiting laws from embracing more than one subject. Our state constitution is also protective of local units of government. The legislature can pass general laws affecting their powers equally but is prohibited from passing special laws that affect a single unit or group of units of local government without the approval of their governing board or a majority of their voters. The effort to circumvent this constitutional protection unraveled as proponents of this bill made it clear that it involved land only in the City of Minnetrista, even to the naming of specific property owners. If that is not enough, the legislation gives the power to authorize the condemnation of private property to the Metropolitan Council, a politically-appointed body. Having once been done, the precedent is established that can be used for repeat performances. This legislative action cries out for legal challenge in the courts, a cry that should and will be answered. A law that defies our constitution both in the process by which it passed and the substance of its intent is no tribute to those who iained its passage. Whatever your point of view on the necessity or desirability of this park, you should be outraged at the betrayal of the public trust that this legislative action represents. STATEMENT RE~RDING PASSAGE OF LEGISi~ATION AUTHORIZING I~AND AC~MJISITION FOR LAKE MINNETONICA REGIONAL PARK By Shl rl ey Bont ne, Chat r Henneptn Parks Board of Commissioners I am pleased that both houses of the Minnesota Legislature passed, and sent to Governor Perpich, legislation that enables Henneptn Parks, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Council and the City of Minnetrista, to develop a regional park on Lake Minnetonka. Many people worked hard to bring about the passage of this important legislation. I appreciate fully the support we got from members of this Board of Commissioners, from our staff and consultants. But we weren't working alone. Numerous legislators, Hennepin County residents, Hennepin Parks supporters, and people from throughout the metropolitan area and state who enjoy the outdoors, maintained their commitment and energy to this issue. I am truly grateful for their assistance. Through the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Legislature, Hennepin Parks was given the charge of acquiring and developing a regional park on Lake Minnetonka for the people of the metropolitan area and state. He believe we will now be able to accomplish that task as the Legislature originally envisioned it. He are pleased the people of Minnesota can now, realistically, look forward to public recreation space on one of the State's most precious resources. He now have a very serious responsibility of carrying out the wishes Of the Legislature. He have been given the authority to purchase land within the City of Minnetrista without that City's consent, an authority that we must use with great care and discretion. We accept that authroity humbly, in the hope that we are worthy of the trust placed in us. The acquisition of land for this regional park is a high priority for Hennepin Parks, but not so high that we overlook our high regard for the interests and rights of landowners within the park and the citizens of Minnetrista. Over the next several weeks, we will be determining the order in which we will seek to acquire land for the park, and we'll be developing an acquisition plan. He are committed to making every effort to complete acquisition on a willing-seller basis. Though we have been given access to the power of condemnation, we will use it as we have in the past, only as a last resort. There are several Hennepin County municipalities, which have given Hennepin Parks authority to acquire land within their cities through condemnation. They can attest to our reasonable approach to land acquisition. He have no reason to change that long-established policy. -Reaching this point has not been easy. Hhile most people are supportive of the concept of'a regional park on Lake Minnetonka, many were uncomfortable with our decision to seek the authority to purchase land without local consent. I ;z3 -2- Because of that, we found ourselves differing w~th some of our ]ong-time, good-friends and supporters. It was difficult tn the Legislature to watch Representatives and Senators, who have frequently spoken out on our behalf, oppose our efforts. I fully understand the position they were in and the difficult decisions they had to make, and I respect those decisions. In particular, I believe the people of western Hennepin County can be very thankful that they are represented by a Senator such as Gert Olson. Gert has been a supporter of the Park District for many years, and ! Know she wants a park on Lake Minnetonka. Even though we were in the unusual position of being on different sides on this issue, I admire Gen for her energy and commitment to her point of view. I look forward to a continuing, close-working relationship with Gen. In the same manner, I have a great deal of respect for the Mayor and City Council of Hinnetrista. We made a commitment to the Legislature that we would continue to work with the City of Hinnetrista. We intend fully to keep that commitment. This is not the time to be second-guessing or challenging each other's points of view. I have every confidence that Hennepin Parks and the City of Hinnetrista will work together to develop the best possible regional park on Lake Minnetonka. Henneptn Parks sincerely wants to be a good neighbor and a valued part of Minnetrista. I truly hope that through a joint effort we can plan and develop a regional park that the City of Hinnetrista can be proud of---just as Hennepin ParEs and the people of the entire metro area will be proud of it.

LEN HARRELL Chief of Police MOUND POLICE 5341 Maywood Road Telephone 472-3711 Mound, MN 55364 Dispatch 544-9511 EMERGENCY 911 June 7, 1988 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Ed Shukle (~ Len Harrell Canine Program Officer McKinley and I have recently discussed the problems that have developed with "Rex." Officer McKinley has been noticing that "Rex" has been limping periodically after exercise. The veterinarian has advised that "Rex" suffers from hip dysplasia and that the condition will continue to worsen. Recently, "Rex" has had to be kept from working because of the physical problem that has developed. Officer McKinley has requested that "Rex" be retired at the end of the month and I have agreed. The constant jostling in the squad car would only aggravate the condition and cause "Rex" pain. "Rex" is expected to take part in Mound City Days and that will most likely be his last public exposure. Officer McKinley does not wish to pursue working with another canine at this time. June 7, 1988 Mr Steven Smith, Mayor City of Mound 5341Maywood Rd. Mound, MN 55364 Dear Mayor and Council Members, We at the Northwest Tonka Lions Club wish to thank you for your support each year in renewing our pull tab license in your community. Each year we like to donate at least $1000 back to the communities that help us. This year we have decided to change this format slightly. The Northwest Tonka Lions have purchased a remote controlled model police car ($4000) that is used primarily for teaching our youth about safety. The only stipulation we put on the purchase was it must be made available to police departments in the neighboring area at no cost. If anyone would like to use the car please call Officer Steve Grand at the Mound Police Department. Once again thanks for all the support. cc: Len Harrell Chief of Police Mound U r ~ ger MOUND PARKS PROGRAM LEVELS TO P~T]CIPATE IN: 1. DAILY PLAYGROUND ACTIViTiES (no fees, Mound residents) 2.
