City Manager Steve Mielke reviewed a reported '~rindf'all" of local government aids
which will be received during the 1991 paymerrt. Mielke explained that the local gav-
emment trust fund rules require that any shortfalls in sales tax require that does re-
ceive less local government aid than budgeted and likewise any eoaoess revenues in the
trust fund be distributed to does even though they may be in e~aoess of budgeted
amounts.
Mielke stated that the League of Cities has ir~ormed its member does that the trust
fund has e~erienced revenues in eoaoess of those arrtidpabed and thus Hopkins should
receive roughly X65,00 0 - ~i68,000 of unarrtidpated revenues in LGA. Mielke stated
that these revenues, while unarrtidpated, were not ~ be considered an annual event
since the sales tax revenues would float sting with the economy. Miella stated that
the Coundl had several options including pladng the amourrts in reser~re, lowering the
tax levy by using the local govemment aid moneys or some other combination of both.
The Coundl, upon review, formed a consensus of pladng the eoaoess LGA moneys into
fund balance reserves.
