RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REVISE MINNESOTA STATUTES RELATING TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID WHEREAS, the current formula for the distribution of Local Government Aid distributes less than 5% of the total to metropolitan area suburbs; and WHEREAS, the current formula for the distribution of Local Government Aid provides for a per capita distribution that generates $213 for the residents of Minneapolis and St. Paul, $210 for the residents of Greater Minnesota cities, and $10.90 for the suburban residents of the seven - county metropolitan area; and WHEREAS, the population of these suburbs is 41% of the total population of Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the residents and businesses of the suburban portions of the seven - county metropolitan area generate 67% of Minnesota's income and sales tax collections; and WHEREAS, the current LGA distribution bears little resemblance to the growing costs of local government in Minnesota cities; and WHEREAS, the 2003 amendments to these statutes established a definition of local government need that is based on a complex set of statistical calculations that must be recalculated annually for all Minnesota cities; and WHEREAS, the 2003 amendments have created aid distribution numbers to cities that are certified late in each city's budget cycle and subject to considerable volatility; and WHEREAS, the complexity created by the 2003 amendments has. created law that is very difficult to understand and interpret; and WHEREAS, many suburban cities in the Minneapolis /St. Paul metropolitan area have been forced by the 2003 amendments to raise property taxes by more than 50% to accommodate lost LGA revenue; and WHEREAS, property taxes are the most regressive form of taxation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of requests that the Governor and the Legislature for the State of Minnesota approve legislation that changes the State's Local Government Aid distribution formula by substituting local government expenditures, subject to a 5% annual cap, for the five -part needs formula currently used for this distribution; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of requests that the Governor and the Legislature of the State of Minnesota provide funding for this revised distribution, subject to the condition that no Minnesota city receive less allocation than 90% of the amount certified to it for fiscal year 2007.

ALERT - Transportation Resolution Rick Getschow From: Peterson, Lynn [Ipeterson @lmc.org] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 3:22 PM To: General legislative Subject: [legislative] ALERT - Transportation Resolution Pagel of 2 Attachments: 2008 Transportation Funding Policy.doc; A RESOLUTION REQUESTING COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION FUNDING IN 2008.doc TO: League of Minnesota Cities Members FROM: Jim Miller, Executive Director SUBJECT: Transportation Resolution You may have received a copy of a resolution from House Minority Leader Marty Seifert (R- Marshall) seeking support for the Governor's bonding proposal, which includes $225 million for local bridges and $30 million for local roads. Although the Governor's bonding proposal, which is supported by the Seifert resolution, addresses a piece of the overall transportation funding need in the state, it is not a long -term and comprehensive solution for our state and local transportation infrastructure needs. We are concerned that adopting that resolution as presented may be misinterpreted; that bonding alone represents an adequate response to transportation funding needs. Therefore, based upon the League's longstanding comprehensive transportation funding policy statement, the League is offering the attached draft resolution as an alternative to the Seifert resolution. The League's resolution acknowledges and supports a more comprehensive approach to transportation funding, which includes, but is not limited to bonding. Given the importance of transportation funding and the likelihood that this will be a prominent issue in the upcoming legislative session, the League urges your city to pass this or substantially similar resolution and to convey that support to your legislators. To maximize the impact of this resolution, please send copies of your adopted council resolution to: • Governor Tim Pawlenty: Office of the Governor, 130 State Capitol, 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155. • Your legislators (find at: www.leg.state.mn.us). • Lynn Peterson: Intergovernmental Relations Assistant, League of Minnesota Cities, 145 University Ave. W., St. Paul, MN 55103; E -mail: Ipeterson@lmc.org.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that this Council requests that the Minnesota Legislature pass a comprehensive and balanced transportation funding package that permanently increases dedicated funding for transportation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that this Council requests that Governor Tim Pawlenty allow a comprehensive and balanced transportation funding package that permanently increases dedicated funding for transportation that is passed by the Legislature to become law; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that this Council requests that a comprehensive and balanced transportation funding package be based upon multiple revenue sources, which may include but not be limited to general obligation and trunk highway bonds; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that this Council supports funding options including, but not limited to, the following: • An increase in the gas tax; • Indexing of the gas tax, provided there is a limit on how much the tax can be increased for inflation in a given amount of time; • Increases in vehicle registration taxes (a.k.a. license tab fees); • Trunk highway bonding, provided the Legislature implements reasonable restrictions on the amount of debt service the state will incur and provided the Legislature appropriates funding to assist with local costs related to projects funded with trunk highway bonds; • General obligation bonding for local roads and bridges, particularly for roads of regional significance and to assist with local cost participation requirements pertaining to trunk highway projects; • Sales tax exemptions for state and local transportation construction projects; and • New local funding tools, such as local option sales tax authority or authority to establish street improvement districts; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that this Council defines a comprehensive and balanced transportation funding package as an initiative that permanently increases dedicated funding for state and local road and transit systems in Greater Minnesota and the Metropolitan Area.
