In short, these are "proposed cuts" not final. You will notice in column #11, we are one of 17 communities that will not be receiving any state aid. Also, under this proposal we would still be subject to an "Excessive Growth Cut" which means the Governor thinks our 2002 levy was excessive and will be taking $316,649 from the market value homestead credit that the City of Chanhassen receives from the State. In 2002, the city is to receive $316,694 in market value homestead credit. Staff will be attending an informational forum on January 24, 2002 to discuss the implications of the Governor's proposed budget cuts. I will keep you informed as additional information becomes available. ~an 11 Z00Z 1' :~0'44 9~a Fax EAX -> G12 99? 5799 S~o~ Botcher Pog~ 88~ O~ 885 Partnerships in providing ervi and solutions January 7-11, 2001, no. 3 im and Board with your ail AMM city legislative Please share this Additional Info on the "Big Fix" Attached is a spreadsheet showing It appears that the state will be tak- the estimated impact of the Governor's proposed cuts to local government aid and credit programs for 2002 on AMM members. These preliminary estimates were provided to us by the Department of Revenue, and are based on the levies certified by cities in September of 2001. We do not yet have a clear under- standing of the impact of proposed cuts for 2003, but hope to provide you with that information early next week. Following a meeting of local govern- ment lobbyists this morning, we now have a better understanding of the proposed cuts for 2002 than we did at.the time of yesterday's fax, As stated in that fax, some cities will be subject to a so-called "excess" aid reduction. This amount will be taken from LGA first, and'then the market value homestead credit, in cases where there is not enough LGA to cover the reduction, The dollar amount of your city's "excess" aid reduction is the sum of the sixth and seventh columns on the attached spreadsheet. Additionally, all cities will be subject to a uniform aid reduction equal to two percent of their levy plus aids. This reduction, like the "excess aid reduction", will be taken first from LGA and then from the market value homestead credit, if necessary. The dollar amount of your city's uniform aid reduction is the sum of the eighth and ninth columns on the attached spreadsheet. lng the "excess" aid reductions first, followed by the uniform aid reduction. In some cases, a city will have lost all of its state aid (LGA + market value homestead credit) to the "excess" aid reduction, and therefore will not be subject to the uniform aid reduction, because they have nothing Jeff to lose. it does not appear that there will be an additional two-percent, across- the-board reduction in the market value homestead credit, as originally stated in yesterday's fax. Cities will receive complete reimbursement for the market value homestead credit, unless they do not receive enough LGA to cover their aid reductions. Legislative hearings on the Governor's proposal will begin next week. We will be monitoring them closely and updating you whenmoro information becomes available. If you have any questions about the information contained on these spreadsheets or the proposed cuts for 2002, please do not hesitate to call or email us and we will do our best -to answer your questions.

These programs include: TIF Grant Program. At the end of the 2001 session, the state appro- priated $129 million for fiscal years 2002 and 2003, to help cit- ies cover TIF district shortfalls re- sulting from the state's properly tax reforms. The Governor's proposal would eliminate this funding, which would have come out of the state's current biennium but would not have been expended until the next biennium. The Governor is recom- mending that the TIF program be reviewed this year so that appro~ palate action can be taken during the 2003 session to address any shortfalls. Housing Programs. Under the Governor's proposal the current bi- ennial budget for housing pro- grams would be reduced by $7.5 million. The programs reduced, with their amounts, are: rehabilita- tion loans ($992,000), housing as- sistance ($1,800,000), challenge Program ($4,134,000), and manu~ factured housing ($400,000). The administrative support program for the Section 8 homeownership pro- gram ($250,000) would be elimi- nated. Minnesota Investment Fund. This fund, which Js administered by the Department of Trade and Eco- nomic Development (DTED), would be restructured to be a re- volving loan fund. The state would require repayment for all loans made in state fiscal year 2003 (af- ter July 1, 2002). Local govern- ments would no longer retain the repayment funds for local eco- nomic development. Reimbursements to Local Gov. ernments for Law Enforcement Training. The Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Board would reduce the per officer training reimbursement from $419 to $378. The reduction would be- gin in state fiscal year 2002 and continue through the next biennium. Innovation Grants. The Board of Government Innovation and Coop- eration would reduce its grant pro- gram by $275,000 each year. The remaining $75,000 of its grant money would be used to assist cai governments that voluntarily agree to consolidate.

The following a description of the revised cut proposal ti LL We expect to be released later today. Cha ~ges are noted in italics. City Aid Reductions Pay 2000~ State FY 2003 The descrill ion of the 2002 cuts has NOT changed frSrn the description included in the 1/10/2002 ;ridayFax. However, in our meeting this morni~ with Department of Revenue staff, we receive clarification that the revenue base ?"or January 14, 2002 upon which the "uniform" aid reduction will be computed includes the total of the city's certified property tax levy + LGA + taconite aids + transit aid for Greater Minnesota Cities. Aid Reductions for Pay 2003 / State FY 2004 (Note: This description HAS CHANGED) 1) The "excess" aid reduction for Pay 2002 is extended to Pay 2003 aids. · LGA reductions in Pay 2003 will first be applied to the grandfathered IGA base amount. · The pay 2002 "excess" aid reduction applied to LGA is carried forward, as a permanent aid reduction applied to a city's levy + aid revenue base for pay 2003 for levy limit purposes. · The Pay 2002"excess" aid reduction applied to the market value homestead credit reimbursement is carried forward, not as an aid reduction, but as a levy reduction applied to the Pay 2003 levy + aid revenue base for levy limit purposes. This levy reduction cannot exceed 6% of a city's payable 2002 adjusted net tax capacity. · The Pay 2003 "excess" aid reductions can be restored as a levy increase if voters approve the increase. 2) Uniform aid reduction (all cities) · For payable year 2003, the uniform aid reduction rate will be 2.96% (not 1.7'/o) of 2002 adjusted net tax capacity. · The cut will first be applied to each city's LGA and then, if necessary, to the market valae homestead credit reimbarsement. 3) Maximum cut--the combined aid reduction of both the "excess" aid reduction and the information on city legislalive issues, contact any member of the League of Minnesota Cities Intergovernmental Relations team. 651.281.1200 or 800.925.1122 Jan Id ZOOZ 1Z~SZ~SB Via Fax -> 61Z 937 S739 AdMinistrator Page 00Z B£ 00Z -Fr dayFax- A weekly legislative update from the League of Mir~r~esota Cities January 14, 2002 "uniform" aid reduction cannot exceed 6% of the city's 2002 adjusted net tax capacity. 4) Eliminate City Police / Fire Amortization Aid * If this additional aid cut results in a total aid reduction greater than 6% of ANTe, then the marginal reduction amount attributable to the amortization aid would be added to the city's LGA grandfathered base. 5) Statutory inflation for LGA is also eliminated in aids paid beginning in 2004. We hope to have detailed estimates of the cuts available later today. We will post the information on the League's web site as soon as possible. House and Senate Schedule Hearings on Supplemental Budget Recommendations The House and Senate have scheduled prelirninary hearings on the Governor's supplemental budge[ recommendations. The Senate select cornmittee on the Revenue Forecast will meet at 1:00 p.m. today in Room 15 of the capitol and the House Tax comrnittee will meet on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. The governor's plans will be described Revenue Comrnissioner Matt Smith and Finance Commissioner Pam Wheelock. We expect these hearings will provide an early indication of the legislative reaction to the governor's plan. The "Not So Big" Bonding Bill This morning, Governor Ventura presented his 2002 Capital Budget amounting to $845 million. Nearly $745 million will be issued as general obligation bonds, with trunk highway fund, user financed bonds and other funds filling in the remainder. Similar to his 2000 capital budget recommendations, the Governor failed to include any local projects this year. More than 50 communities requested funding for significant local and regional projects. Although the governor's recommendations did not include any specific local projects, some local governments may benefit from the proposal indirectly. The Governor proposed $i0 million to the MPCA for closed landfills, $30 million to DTED ($10 million for redevelopment, $4 million for wastetx, ater infrastructure fund, and $16 rnillion for the state revolving loan fund to match federal funds). Local bridges will see $30 million through MnDOT under the Governor's plan, but local government road wetland replacement receives nothing (so much for the promises made by the state when the Wetlands Conservation Act was enacted). Both the House and Senate have indicated there are significant deficiencies in the governor's proposal and with interest rates at their lowest level in decades, we expect the legislature to rationalize a larger bonding package. The LMC expects the legislature's final bonding packaged to include rnore transportation, water and wastewater infi'astructure funding. Even if a larger package is ultimately approved by the Legislature, anything above and beyond the Governor's recommendation could be subject to his veto or the governor could simply decide not to let the bonds.
