CTTY HALL SEVENTH FLOOR SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 612/298-5679 S�46 , Printed on 100�/e Recycled Paper . � 9a -d'� ? LOCAL GOVERNMENT AIG The 1989 Omn�bus Tax Bill provided for a major shift of Local Government Aid ( LGA) from cities to school districts. In the cas2 of Saint Paul , the shift amounted to $6 ,445 , 925 or 12 . 5� of the City ' s proposed 1990 LGA. The net effect was a loss of $1 , 752 , 673 of Aid from the 1989 level . The Bill also provided the City with a compensating increase in tax levy authority and School District #625 with a tax levy reduction; both in the same approximate amounts. The effect of this shift in Aid on the Saint Paul taxpayer is supposed to be negligible for the pay 1990 taxes. In addition , the current formula for LGA provides that the population and household counts used in determining local government aid will be the most recent for the preceding calendar year. The estimate that the Metropolitan Council has made for the City will cause us to lose a significant amount ,of LGA in 1991 . We will need to change the language that the formula uses for the population factor , so that the City loses only a minimal amount of Aid because of the estimated population increase . Saint Paul Position We do not know what long-term effect will result from a shift in LGA to the schools. Until such time as the City can be sure that the effect on the taxpayers is negligible , we should hot support any further shifts. : The City also needs to propose a change in the formula's language to lessen the impact of our slight population increase. �
