RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Saint Paul does
hereby support and adopt as part of the 1985 Legislative Program
the following:
Policy Statement on Minnesota Local Government Aid:
Local government aid is an essential property tax relief program
for cities throughout Minnesota. The primary purpose of local
government aid should be to provide property tax relief to
Minnesota cities based on each city`s fiscal need and fiscal
capacity. The formula for the distribution of local government
aid should attempt to reduce the disparity in municipal tax
rates between Minnesota cities .
Local government aid should be considered and funded separately
from other state property tax relief programs such as the
education aid or property tax credit programs in Minnesota.
Distribution of local government aid on the basis of population
alone (per capita distribution) is inconsistent with the
principle of property tax relief based on each community' s
fiscal need and fiscal capacity.
