. � •
Tne proposed amen.dment provides cities �aith the ability to
assess benefitted property awners for the costs af operatian
and maintenance of public parking facilities� It also pro�a�es
to provide the opti.on to the city to assess stzch costs in

to include public park�.ng facilities under Section 429..021,

Various apini,or�s on this i.ssu�. have in�icated tha� current
statutes are unclear as �o wh�ther cities have the author�.�y`
to assess for public parka.�g faeilities. The mast specific
appli�ation of the n�ed fcr �his change is th� Highl.and Farkinq
Ramp which rnrill be financed through issuance af GQ bonds an:d
paid for by specia:l, assessments against the �5 benefi..tted
pro�ert� owners.

amendments to the Local Improvements Act to a�cor.lplish the
�ollowing:
�. Inclusion o� public parking facilifiies as an allowab�e
_ _ � local improvement for the purpose of assessment for,.
. caDeration and maintenance casts for .local iz�provements.
2. Authorit� �o assess ir� advance to�.al estimated cost �c�r �
�he operaition anc� maintenance for the next fiscal year.

St. Paul Urban Corps
Fc�!'3��`�,��
• � ' The City proposes special legislation which would provide the
City with the option to hire students under the city's Urban
Corps employment program. The proposal woul.d also prohibit
interns from collecting unemplayment compensation while working
as an intern in the Urban Cor�s Pr.ogram.
The proposal solves two proble�s: - �
I) Currently, the Urban Corp� Frogram contracts with the cit�r
of Minneapol,is for its intern programe T.he interns are basical,�.y
employees of Minn�apolis through the contractual. agreement.
St. Paul doe� not have separat� authar�ity:h�The ab'ility to empl.o�r
interns for a period of one yeax, under our own duth�rity give�
the City the needed flexibi.lity i� the�,,event that the cantractual�
agreem�nt is no� renewed in �the future.
2 j The con�ract has not, however, spec�.fied •unem�lc�yr_ient compensa-�
ti.on benefi�ts reimbursable by St. Paul` to Minneapoli,s. The propas�r�
1980 agreement, when executed, wi1.l specifiy cer-tain costs af
unemployment compensation. The St. Paul program will have to pick
up these costs, although ifi has traditionally been the intent �f
the Ur3�an Corps program that unemployr.ient compensation shou].d .
not be �aicl. to part time studEnts.
St. Paul. intends to continue its contrac�ual arrangement with
�Minneapol.is, bu� 'does need the option to administer its own
program in �e even� that need,.occurs in the future.
