WHEREAS, the Saint Paul City Council has a
continuing concern with properties which contribute
little or nothing to the Saint Pau1 tax base, such
as private tax exempt properties , State, Federal ,
City, etc. properties , and others such as HRA and
PHA properties ; and perhaps others ; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul City Council is
concerned with factors that erode the City tax base ;
and
WHEREAS, figures supplied by the Ramsey County
Tax Assessor show that for 1984 the City had an approx-
imate total Estimated Market Value of all properties
of $8 , 084, 386, 700 of which $1 , 716 ,653, 100 or 21 . 2%
was tax exempt properties ; and
WHEREAS, the Council needs to obtain a total
picture of how many properties in the City pay a
full share of taxes vs. those which use City services
but pay little or no taxes ;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council ask
the Council Research Office to assemble statistics
and figures outlining this problem, and report its
findings back to the Council so that the Council can
study potential tax revenues with a full understanding
of the facts involved and pexhaps look at future policy
relevant to total tax financing.
