ZEN 803 OLEARY 11-28-89 BUDGET OFFICE Jr . , � � �'� PROPERTY TAX ISSUES FOR 1990 LEGISLATIVE SESSION Tax Base Equalizai�ion The 1989 Compromise Tax Bill contained a supplemental Tax Base Equalization Program (for 1990 only) , in the amount of $10 million. The TBE aid is provided to all cities , except townships with a population over 5 ,000 and cities of the first class . TBE was included in the Omnibus Tax Bill that was vetoed by Governor Perpich . TBE formulas need to be designed to equalize the revenue-raising capacities of local governments, while taking into account that local spending needs will be different. Any TBE formula that does not account for local spending needs will not be equitable. The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities will be proposing an extension of the current TBE program for 1991 , funded at $20 million , with the intention to propose a larger, more comprehensive program for consideration during the 1991 Legislative Session . The City of Saint Paul has been asked to participate in these CGMC efforts. If we decide to work with the Coalition, we will propose that the funding for 1991 be set at $25 million . Saint Pau/ Position The City has supported Tax Base Equalization as a priority method to achieve property tax system reform. This should continue to be the City' s position during the 1990 and 1991 Legislative Sessions provided that: 1 . The TBE formula is based upon tax base wealth and revenue needs; and 2 . The City of Saint Paul is included. To accomplish this position, we should : 1 . Continue to work with the CGMC, and perhaps Duluth, to get the current TBE program extended to 1991 with cities of the first class included; 2 . Propose that the 1991 funding be set at $25 million; and 3 . Begin working with the CGMC, tax committees' staffs and the Revenue Department to construct an equitable equalization formula based on tax base wealth and revenue need for consideration by the 1991 Legislature. � WH17E - C�TV CIERK COQBCIl. /� PINIT - PINANCE GITY OF SAINT PAUL (rANARV -DEPARTMENT OD _J/� .
