DtSCUSSION DEFINITIONS
A.� Relating to Capital Improvements �
1. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT - LEGAL DEFINITION (Minnesota Law 773, Section 2)
(City Ordinance 13679, Section 3) . Capital Improvement bond funds
are restricted to use for acquisition, construction or repair of
capital .improvements, having a useful li£e in excess of three years.
2. CIB COMMITTEE DEFINITION
A capital expenditure involves acquisition of land, construction or
acquisition of physical facilities, or additions to existing facilities.
Such facilities are expected to have a useful life beyond the term of
the bonds. (Ten years at present) . Equipment which is a necessary part
of a new facility to make it functional, generally .is acceptable.
When modernization of an existing facility substantially increases its
value, such modernization might be regarded as a proper capital expendi-
ture. Deferred maintenance expense ordinarily is not considered proper
capital expenditure. Neither is expense for mobile equipment, additional
or replacement office equipment, short-term operational equipment, upkeep
or repair.
3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - SAINT PAUL'S (CIP)
The programming and budgeting of ali of the City"s capital improvement
projects, regardless of fund source. Capital improvement projects are
funded with CIB Bonds, Water Pollution Abatement Bonds, Public Improvement
Aid, Municipal State Aid, County Aid, grants, Development District
Tax Increment Financing, etc. In addition to the programming and
budgeting of all City c apital improvements, projects programmed by the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the Port Authority, the Civic Center
Authority, the Water Department, Independent School District #625, the
County of Ramsey, the Metropolitan Sewer Board, and the private
utilities companies are identified and related to. Presently, Saint Paul's
Capital Improvement Program is an annual budget with a following four-year
program.
4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROCESS
The process established to identify, analyze, prioritize, coordinate
and recommend funding of the City's capital improvement projects. This
process identifies the priorities of the Department requesting the
project, the Office of City Planning, the Mayor's Senior Management
Team, the City Administration, and the Mayor, as well as those of
neighborhood groups and business organizations. All priorities and
recommendations are transferred to City Council for their information
in reviewing the Mayor's proposed annual capital improvement program
budget.

���
. .
5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB)
Refers to the Minnesota Legislature's authorized bonding authority
granted for the purpose of providing annual financing for capital
improvement projects.
In 1967 the Legislature first granted Saint Paul $4 million annual •
bonding authority for the budget years 1967, 1968 and 1969. In 1969
the City was granted $4,500,000 for i970 and 1971. In 1971 the
Legislature continued the bonding authority of $4,500,000 for the years
19�2, 1973, 1974 and 1975. In 1974 the Legislature also granted
Saint Paul an additional $2 million bonding authority for 1975 to be
used for the reconstruction of Phalen Park.
6. LONG-RANGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET COMMITTEE (CIB COMMITTEE)
A 12-member citizens committee appointed by the Mayor with the approval
of City Council to establish citizen priorities and recommendations
for funding of capital improvement projects with CIB Bond money and
the remaining 1953 Second United Improvement Bond money. It is an- •
ticipated that this year the citizen co�nittee reviewing capital improve-
ment projects will be establishing priorities for .the funding of all
capital improvement projects, not just those financed with CIB and 1953
Bond Funds. (Mayor Cohen is proposing that the Long-Range Capital
Improvement Budget Committee be consolidated with the Planning Commission
and that any new CIP citizen review body be related to and workable
with any proposed "Citizen Participation Structure") .
B. Tax Terms
l. LEVY �
Dollars needed from real and personal property taxes to finance in whole
or in part a governmental unit. Not to be confused with "budget total"
which is the total number of dollars needed to finance a governmental _
unit. "Budget total" minus other sources of revenue equals levy.
2. MILL
A mill is one-tenth of a cent or a one-thousandth part of a dollar. One
mill generates $1.00 of taxes for each $1,000 of assessed valuation.
3. MILL RATE
Mill rates are usually expressed as a ratio for $1,000 of assessed
valuation. The aggregate mill rate in the City of Saint Paul for
19'75 is 146.536. In using mill rates to determine tax dollars generated,
move the decimal point three places to the left; i.e.
" Assessed Value x Mill Rate = Tax
$6,200 x .146536 = $908.52
$775,112,150 x .012 = $9,301,345.00

4. ASSESSOR'S ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE
Propezty is to be valued at market value by the assessor for tax
purposes. "Market value means the usual selling price of the place . . .
which cauld be obtained at private sale and not at forced or auction
sale." (MSA 272.08 Sub. 3) .
5. ASSESSED VALUE
The value which is multiplied times the mill rate to determine the
amount of tax. Assessed value is determined by multiplying the
assessor's estimated market value by various percentages depending �
upon the class of property. Classes of property are determined by
the Legislature under MSA 273.13. There are 13 classes of property
and �re� examples are shown below:
Class Description Percentage
3C Homestead property 25�
first $12,000 of market
value
Assessed over $12,000 40�
3D Residential-real estate 40$
other than homestead
property (i.e. apart-
ments) '
4 All property not in- 43� '
cluded in any other
classification
6. HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION
This exemption as first allowed by Chapter 359, Laws of Minnesota,
1933, provides for a percentage reduction in converting a portion
of the assessor's estimated market value to the assessed value. For
example, the first $12,000 of the assessor's market value for income
property is presently assessed at 25� with any excess over $12,000 of
' assessor's market value being assessed at 40�.
7. HOMESTEAD CREDIT
This credit first allowed by Chapter 32, Extra Session Laws of 1967,
� is presently 43� of the ad valorem tax (the tax based only on value,
does not include assessments) except that part of the tax attributable
to non-school debt. Credit not to be confused with the homestead
exemption.
_3 � .
8. SENIOR CITIZENS INCOME TAX CREDIT .
Credit available to those over age 65 with income of $6,000 or less ,
received by filing a form M-1SC with the State of Minnesota Income
Tax Division. The credit is determined on the basis of real estate
.,,tax payable and income. For example, a senior citizen with an income
of $4,000 and a net tax of $300 would receive a refund from the State
of $105.00. Note: many disabled persons are also now eligible for
this refund.
9. SENIOR CITIZENS TAX (FREEZE) CREDIT OR REFUND
Credit available to all persons who are 65 before June 1 of any year
if the ad valorem real estate tax in the current year exceeds the
amount of their ad valorem real estate tax in the year proceeding
the year they turned 65. Credit is_ received by applying on form
M-1SC to the S tate of Minnesota Income Tax Department. Any .refund
paid under this credit is deductible before determining the amount of
senior citizen income tax credit. .

MUNICIPAL BONDING
WHY BONDS EXIST ' .
Tax exempt bonds are issued by states, counties, cities, school
distri.cts, universities, park districts, turnpike authorities, etc.
ad infinitum, to build .streets, sewers, hospitals, water lines,
lakes, parks, schools, jails, hydro-electric dams and a whole
host of other major capital improvements of an enduring nature.
Theoretically it is unrealistic to require today's tax-naying
citizens to bear the entire financial load for the construction
of these public works projects which may have a useful life of
50 years or more. To finance these projects over several years
and thereby spread the repayment obligation over a period of time,
the political subdivisions bo.rrow money by issuing bonds. The issuer
pledges to pay the principal and interest for the use of the funds in
accordance with the covenant which is made with the bond holder, Fre-
quently, the loan is scheduled to be paid out in ten or fifteen years,
but many bonds are issued to finance improvements over forty or fifty
years in cases of large projects of long term value.
BASIC TYPES OF MUNICIPAL BONDS (TAX EXEMPT)
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
General Obligation Bonds are backed by a pledge of the issuer's full
faith and credit for prompt payment of principal and interest. Most
city, county, and school district bonds have the further distinction
of being secured by a pledge of unlimited ad valorem (property) taxes
to be levied against all taxable property. In most cases if taxes are
not paid the delinquent property is sold at .tax sale giving the bondholder
a superior claim above mortgages, mechanics' liens and similar encumbrances.
Since general obligation bonds are geared to tax resources, they are nor-
mally analyzed in terms of the size of the resources being taxed.
REVENUE BONDS
Revenue bonds are payable from the earnings of a revenue producing
enterprise such as a water, sewer, electric or gas system, a toll
bridge, airport, college dormitory or other income producing facility.
They are usually analyzed in terms of their earnings, historical or
potential, compared with bond requirements. They have built up a good
record over a long period of time, and are sometimes considered to be better
than general obligations of the same issuer. The yield, generally, is higher
for this type of bond.

GENERAL INFORMATION '
RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL BONDS �
The quality of municipal bonds can, to some degree, be determined
from the ratings of three rating services, Moody's, Standard and
Poor's, and Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. These bond ratings are used b�
the municipal bond profession, government and industry regulatory
agencies and the investing public as a guide to their relative
security and value. They are not used as an absolute factor in
determining the strength of the pledge securing a particular issue.
Indeed, many non-rated bonds are sound investments. Since Moody's
and Standard and Poor's are now xating bonds only on a fee basis,
the number of non-rated issues may increase. In this regard the
investor should use caution in his purchase of such bonds and 'seek
Lhe advice of his investment banker. The ratings s,ymbols of the
three services are as follows: � �
- Moody's Standard & Poor's Dun & Bradstreet

Dear Mayor Cohen and Council Members: �
Since its inception the Capital Tmprovement Budget Committee. has expressed desir-
�bility of eventually getting capital improvement funding on a pay-as-you-go bas.is.
As the authorization for capital funding has expired, and a return to the Legislature
� is necessary to seek new authority, the time seems ripe to propose a pay-as-you-go
program for presentazion to the Legislature. Here is such a program:
Capital Improvement Pay-As-You-Go

Mayor Cohen and City Council Members -2- Nov�mber 21, 1974
This program has several distinct advantages over past practice:
1) Millions of dollars will be saved in interest charges, eventually reaching
one million dollars per year.
2) Stating the levy limit in mills will allow the amount of money to increase with �
the tax base, without an increase in the tax rate. '
3) There will be more flexibility in the use of Pay-As-You-Go funds, as the term
of bonds is not a consideration.
Under the proposed program, interest charges will continue around a million dollars
per year until 1978, when a decline will start, ending with the complete elimination
of interest charges.
Defic,it financing as now practiced is increasing the debt .burden at an alarming rate.
An attempt should be made to reverse that trend.

METHOD OF FINANCING
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET PROGRAM ����
I. Pay-As-You-Go-Financing
A. Pros
1. No interest charge, therefore, there is a smaller annual debt.
2. Engineering and Design of a capital improvement project can be
started on January 2, of each budget year.
B. Cons •
1. The City is paying for the cost of capital improvements in one year,
� when the capital improvements have an average benefit value from
25 to 50 years.
2. In time of economic stress (or political dire) there is a tendency
to drastically reduce or postpone the capital improvement Arogram,
because there is a direct reduction in the mill levy.
II. Capital Improvement Bonding
A. Pros
1. Assuming continuous inflation with the corresponding decrease in the
value of the dollar, the total value of the dollars used to pay the
annual debt is less than the actual value of dollars worth of '
construction purchased.
2. The City is spreading the cast of paying for capital improvement
projects over the same period of time that the benefits of the
projects will be realized. .
3. It is easier for a politician to continue the Capi�tal Improvement
Program when it can be bought in one year and paid for in install-
ments, starting a year later.
B. Cons
1. In total number of dollars, a bondinq program has a larger debt
than a pay-as-you-go.
2. Engineering and Design of a capital improvement cannot start until
after bonds are sold and the money is in the bank, usually not until
, late February or early March of a given budget year.

Dear Mr. Blees: �
Your inquiry regarding inflationary construction growth
comes at a very appt~opi�iai:e time, as I have just comE�leted
an analysis betti��een the years 1950 up to the year 2000.
A grati�rth rate bet��reen 19G7 and 1974 a;oul d read as fol l ov�s:
_ 1 . Jan 1�67 to Jan 19G8 = 7.5�
2. Jan 19E8 i:o Jan 1969 = �7.5� � .
� 3. Jan 1909 to Jan 1970 = 8.Q; � �
4. Jan 1970 to Jan 1971 = 14.0%
� 5. Jan 1971 to Jan 1972 = 14.0% �
6. Jan 1972 to Jan 1973 = 13.Ow
7. �an 1973 to Jan 1974 = 13.5�
8. Jan 1974 to Jan 1975 = 15.0�
Added together youi� net increase from 1967 to 1975 ��;�ould be � '
+9'L.5�. � � �
� �
The system we used to establish these increase� is to analyse !
the avai 1 abl e pri nted i ndeces, pl us our, o+rrn �i^04'ltl� i nd�x and then
to plot both their past ti�ends and their projected growth. '
�
t�1r. Bl ees, I f�ope thi s i nformati on wi 11 be of some hel p '
ta you. Tf I can assist you with anything in �he future,
please call me.

Re: I�creased costs of public
imp�ovdnent constructton
f rora 1967 to 197�+, due to
inftation.
Dea� Mr. Blaes:
in accordance with your request seeki�g the effect of tnflation on
public improveanents during the above period, we had various sections of �
Engineering and Design calculate inflation rates for simiiar projects in
a fashion that could equate 1974 costs for 1967 proJects. . The results are
as follaws;
1. Sewer Construction - Co�aring three separate projects gave ,
respective inflation �ates of 48�, 52� and 58X for an average
inf lat ion rate of 5296 on sew�er crn struct ion.
2. Bridges - Extreme variations have occurred betw�een various items
on bridge canstruction as identif�ed by the fact that relnforcing
sfieei has mo�e than doubled in cost during the 7 year period and
ready-mIx concrete has increased approximately 3$%. The ccxnposite
lnflation rate for bridge constraction averages out to 53�.
3. Sidewalks - Comparing the va�ious a�r�ual district sidewalk
construction contracts between the above years gives an Increase
of 54°6 due to inf lat ion.
4. Street Paving - There has been lncreased mechanization and
constructton technlques i� thts category, inciuding the use of
aufianatic curbing machines, subgrade machines, etc. together with
less inflation in the basic construction materials, such as asphalt
' and ready�mix concrete, together.with perhaps a greater cc�npetitiveness
amo�g the co�tractors, all of whjch has resulted in an inflattonary
increase of 37',� in street paving.
,
— 22— �
f
��
Due to the time constraints on us to develop the above information,
it was done by utilizing several representative contracts in each category,
but those results are surprisingly consister�t in the 50� - 55� range of
inflatio� over the 7 year period. Please i�t me know shouid you desire �
further inform�tion.
You�s very truly,
. ��� s� �m�.a

ORIGINAL PURPOSE FOR CIB LEGISLATION
In the 25 years prior to the commencement of the CIB Bonding Program in
1967, the only major c apital improvement projects constructed in Saint Paul
were financed from the 1953 Second United Improvement Bond Issue. The City
had no orderly process for constructing the needed sewers, playgrounds, parks,
fire stations, libraries and other improvements.
In 1967 a legislative bill was introduced by Representative Fred Norton and
Senator Nicholas Coleman which provided Saint Paul with the means to tax
themselves�, through bonding authority, for the purpose of financing needed
improvements and establishing an annual Capital Improvement Budget Program.
The major purpose for establishing an annual Capital Improvement Budget Program
was to eliminate the major "One-Shot, Something For Everyone" and "Special
Interest Project" bond issues and to establish an on-going program whereby
priorities could be established and projects planned and coordinated. The
CIB process as formulated for Saint Paul fosters not just citizen input, but
true citizen involvement in determining priorities and making recommendations.
Saint Paul chose the road to self-help by utilizing CIB Bonding legislation
prior to any major effort by the Federal Government through the Urban Renewal-
Neighborhood Development Programs, and the Model Cities Program. Without the
CIB Bonding Program, in the last nine years Saint Paul would only have had
financed the new Civic Center and the new schools constructed by the
Independent School District #625.
We can thank our far-sighted Saint Paul Legislators and local delegation for
providing our City with the opportunity to finance the many "neighborhood-needed"
projects, such as:
Saint Anthony Park and Hoyt-Flandrau Storm and Relief Sewers
Neighborhood recreation centers such as Arlington, Battle Creek, Dayton's
Bluff, Hazel Park, Palace, Rice-Lawson, Scheffer, and Sylvan
The acquisition, restoration and development of Hidden Falls Park, Crosby
- Farm Nature Center, and Marydale Park •
Lexington, Sun-Ray and Highland Park Branch Libraries
Payne Avenue and White Bear Avenue fire stations and Metro Fire Training
Center
Joint City-School projects such as Frost Lake and Londin Lane Recreation Centers
Paving and bridge projects such as Warner Road, White Bear Avenue Bridge,
Marshall Avenue Bridge, and Hamline Avenue paving
City-wide projects such as handicapped sidewalk ramps, mid-block lighting,
traffic signals, opti-com system (fire truck traffic signal control
system) , bike trails, picnic tables and tree plantings
Baker School, Highland Park and Oxford Swimming Pools
City-wide park improvements at Battle Creek Park, Cherokee Park, Como
Park, and Highland Park.

GOALS ESTABLISHED FOR OBTAINING NEW CIB LEGISLATION
1. INCREASED FINANCING AUTHORITY AMOUNT, based on need and not on inflation.
2. Obtain FINANCING AUTHORITY BASED ON A FIXED MILL RATE which would provide
for increased number 'of dollars as Saint Paul's taxable assessed valua-
tion increases.
3. Obtain FINANCING FLEXIBILITY which would allow the City to finance
capital improvements through bonds, and, or a tax levy outside the
levy limit.
4. Obtain PERMANENT ANNUAL FINANCING AUTHORITY.

The economic receAEion which is cctusing high unewployment nmtiocu�lly is

here than Che nation�zl uverage, it can be expected that a longer period of relatively
high unempioyment m�y result becau�e of this diversifica�ion factor.
CerCein energy relaLed factors are preaent in the SaiaC Paul ares which n�y

DISCUSSION DEFINITIONS
p, Relating to Capital Improvem�nts
1. CI�PITAL IMPROVEMT'NT - LLGAL D�I'INITION (Pdinnesota Law 773, Ser.tioil 2)
(City Ordinance 13679, Section 3) . Capita]_ Improvement boncl funds
are restricted to use for acquisition, construction or repair of
capital improvements, having a useful life in excess of three years,
2. CIB COMMITTL;E DtiFINITION
A ca.pital expenditure i.nvolves acquisition of l.and, construction or
acquisition of physical facila.ties, or additions to existing facilities.
Such facilities are expected to have a useful life beyond the term o�
the bonds. (Ten years at present) . Equipment which is a necessary part
of a new facility to make it functional, gen�rally is acceptable.
When modernization of an existing facility substantially increases its
value, such modernizaL.ion mi.ght be regarded as a proper capital expendi-
ture. Deferred maintenance expense or.dinarily is not considered proper
capi.tal expenditure. Neither is expense for mobile equipment, addi.tional
or replacement office equipment, short-term operational equipment, uplceep
o.r repair.
3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMEDIT PROGI2AM - SAINT PAUL'S (CIP)
The programming and budgeting of all of the City's capital improvemeni:
projects, regardless of fund source. Capital impr_ovement projects are
funded with CIB Bonds, Water Pollut:ion Abatement Bonds, Public Improvement
Aid, Municipal State Aid, County Aid, grants, Development Distr.ict
Tax Increment Financing, etc. In addition to the programming and
budgeting of all City c apital improvements, projects programmed by the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the Port Authority, the Civic Center
Authority, the Water Department, Independent School District #625, the
County of Ramsey, the Metropolitan Sewer Board, and the �rivate
utilities companies are identified and related to. Presently, Saint Paul's
Capital Improvement Program is an annual budget with a following four-year
program.
4. CAPITAL IMPROVF.M�NT PROGRAM PROCESS
The process established to identify, analyze, prioritize, coordinate
and recommend funding of the City's capital improvement projects. This
process ideritifies tl�e pri.orities of the Department requesting the
project, the Office of City Planning, the Mayor's Senior Management
Team, the City Adminisi:ration, and the Mayor, as well as those of
neighborhood _qroups and business organizations. Al1 priorities and
recommendations are transferred to City Council for their information
in reviewing the Mayor's proposed annual capital improvement program
budget.
-1-
5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB)
Refers to the Minnesota Legi.slature's authorized bonding authority
grani�ed for the purpose of providing annual financing for capital .
improvement projects. �
In 1967 the Legislature first granted Saint Paul $4 million aririval
bondi.ng authority f.or ttie budget years 1967, 196£3 and 1969. In 1969
�he City was granted $4,500,000 for 1970 and 1971. In 1971 the
Legislature continued the bonding authority of $4,500,000 for the years
1972, 1973, 1974 and 1.975. In 1974 the Legislature also granted
Saint Paul an additional $2 milI.ion bonding authority for 1975 to be
used for the reconstruction of Phalen Park.
6. LONG-RANGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET COMMITI'E� (C1B COMMIT`1�E)
A 12-member citizens committee appointed by the Mayor with the approval.
of City Council to establish citizen priorities and recommendations
for funding of ca3?ital imp.rovement projects with CIB Bond money and
the remaining 1953 Second United Improvcment Bond money. It is an-
ticipated that this year the citizen committee reviewing capital improve-
ment projects will be establisl�ing priori.ties for the funding of all
capital improvement projects, not just those financed with CIF3 and 1953
Bond Funds. (Mayor Cohen is proposing that the Long-Range Capital
Improvement I3udget Committee be consolidated with the Planning Commission
and that any new CIP citizen review body be related to and caorkable
with any proposed "Citizen Participation Structure") .
B. Tax Terms
1. LEV�C
Dollars needed from real and per.sonal property taxes to finance in whole
or in part a governmenta_t unit. Not to be confused with "budget total"
which is thc total number of dollars needed to finance a governmental
unit. "Budget total" minus other sources of revenue equals levy.
2. MILL
A mill is one-tenth of a cent or a one-thousandth part of a dollar. One
mi11 generates $1.00 of taxes for each $1,000 of assessed valuation.
3. MILL RATE
Mill rates are usually exprc�ssed as a ratio for $1,000 of assessed
valuation. The aggregate mil]. rate in the City of Saint Paul for
1975 is 146.536. In using m�.11 rates to determine tax dollars generated,
move the decimal point thrc.e places to the left; i.e.
Assessed Val_ue x Mill Rate = Tax
$6,200 x .146536 = $90£3.52
$775,112,150 x .07.2 = $9,301,345.00
-2-
4. ASSESSOR'S �STIMATED MI�RKET VALUE
Property is to be valued at market value by the assessor for tax
purposes. "Mark�t value means the usua.l selling price of the place . . .
which could be obtaiiled at private sale and not at forced or auction
sale." (MSA 272.08 Sub. 3) .
5. ASSESSED VALUE
The value which is multiplied times the mill rate to determine the
lmount of tax. Assessed value is determined by multiplying the
assessor's estimated market value by various percentages depending
upon the class of property. Classes of prope.rty are determined by
tlze Legislature under_ D9SA 273.13. There are 13 classes of property
and three examples are shown below:
Class Description Percentage
3C Homestead property 25%
first $12,000 of market
val_ue
Assessed over $12,000 40%
3D Residential-real estate 400�
other than homestead
properi:y (i.e. apart-
ments)
4 All property not in- 43�
cluded in any other
classification
6. HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION
This exemption as first allowed by Chapter 359, Laws of Minnesota,
1933, provides for a percentage reduction in converting a portion
of the assessor's estimated market value to the assessed value. For
example, the first $12,000 of the assessor's market value for income
property is presently assessed at 25='a with any excess over $12,000 0�
assessor's mar_kPt value being assessed at 400.
7. IIOMESTEAD CREDIT
This credit first allowed by Chapter 32, Extra Session Laws of 1967,
is presently 43°e of tYie ad valorem tax (the tax based only on value,
does not include assessments) except that part of the tax attributable
to non-school debt. Credit not to be confused with the homestead
exemption.

�
8. SENIOR CI`l'IZENS INCOTiE TAX CREDIT
Credit available ta those over age 65 with income of $6,000 or less
received by filing a form M-1SC with the State of Minnesota Income
Tax Division. The credit is determined on the basis of real estate
tax payable and income. For exarnple, a senior citizen with an incom�
of $4,000 and a net tax of $300 would receive a refund from the State
of $105.00. Note: many disabled persons are also now eligible for
this refund. •
9. SENIOR CITIZENS TAX (FRELZE) CREDIT OR REFUND
Credit available to all persons who are 65 before June 1 of any year
if. the ad valorem rea.l. estate tax in �he current year exceeds the
� amount of their ad valorem real estate tax i.n the year pr.oceeding
the year thcy turned 65. Credit is received by applying on form
M-1SC to the S tate of Mi.nnesota Income Tax Department. Any refund
paid under this credit is deductible before determining the amount of
senior citizen income tax credit.

MUP;ICIPAL BOPIDING �
WHY BONDS EXIST ' -
� Tax exempt bonds are issued by states, counties, cities, school
districts, universities, park districts, turnpi_ke authorities, etc.
ad infinitu.�, to build streets, sewers, hospitals, water Zines,
lakes, parks, schools, jails, hydro-eler_tric darns and a whole
host of other major capi_tal improvements of an enduring nature.
Theoretically it is unrealistic to require today's tax-paying
citizens to bear the entire financial load for the construction
o£ these public works projects which may have a useful life of
� 50 years or more. To fia.lance these projects over several years
and thereby spread the repayment obligatian over a periad of time,
the political subdivisians borrow money by issuing bonds. The issuer
pledges to pay the principal and interest for the use of the funds in
accordance with the covenant which is made with the bond holder. Fre-
quently, the loan is scheduled to be paid out in ten or fifteen years,
but many bonds are issued to finance improvements over forty or fifty
qears in cases of large projects of long term value.
BASIC TYPES OF NIUNICIPAL BONDS (TAX EXEMPT)
GENEfiAL OBLIGATION BONDS
General Obligati�n Bonds are backed by a pledge of the issuer's fu11
faith and credit for prompt payment of principal and interest. Most
city, county, and school district bonds have the further distinction
of being secured by a pledge of unlimited ad valorem (property) taxes
to be levied against all taxable property. In most cases if taxes are
not paid the delinquent property is sold at .tax sale giving the bondholder
a superior claim above mortgages, mechanics ' liens and similar encumbrances. �
Since general obligation bonds are �eared to tax resources, they are nor-
�ally analyzed in terms of the size of the resources being taxed.
REVENUE BONDS
Revenue bonds are payable from the earnings of a revenue producing
enterprise such as a water, sewer, electric or gas system, a toll
bridge, airport, coJ.lege dormitory or other income producing facility.
They are usualiy analy7�.d ir. terms of tl-ieir earnincs, historical or
potential, compared with band requirements. 11�ey izave built up a good
record over a long period of time, and are sometimes considered to be better
th3n general abligar.ions of the same issuer. The yield, generally, is higher
for Y:his type of bond.

MUNICIPAL PONDING (cont'd)
GENERAL INFORMl�TION '
RATII�'GS OF r1UNICIPAL BONDS
The quality of municipal bonds can, to some degree, be determined
from the ratings of three rating services, Moody's, Standard and
Poor�s, and Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. These bond ratings are used by
the municipal bond profession, government and industry regulatory
agencies and the investing public as a guide to their relative
security and value. They are not used as an absolute factor in
determining the strength of the pledge securing a particular issue.
� Indeed, many non-rated bonds are sound investments. Since Moody's
and Standard and Poor's are now rating bonds only ori a fee basis,
the number of non-rated issues may increase. In this regard the
investor should use caution in his purchase of such bonds and `seek
the advice of his investment banker. The ratings s.ymbols of the
three services are as follows: � � .

Dear Mayor Cohen and Council Members:
Since its inception the Capital Inl�rovement Budget Committee has expressed desir-
ability of eventually getting capital improvement funding on a pay-as-you-go basis.
As the au�horization foz capii�al funding ras expired, a;,d a return to the Leqislature
' is necessary to seek new authority, the tiMe seems ripe to propose a. pay-as-you-go
program for presentaiion to the Legislature. Here is such a program:

Mayor Cohen and City Council Members -2- November 21, 1974
This proqram has several distinct advantages over past practice:
1) Millions of dollars wi.l1 be saved in interest charges, eventually reaching
one millian dollarsper year.
2) Stating the levy limit in mills will allow the amount of money to increase with �
the tax base, without ari increase in the tax rate. '
3) There will be more flexibility in the use of Pay-As-You-Go funds, as the term
of bonds is not a consideration.
Under the proposed program, interest charges will continue around a million dollars
per year until 1978, when a decline will start, er.ding with the complete elimination
oi interest cha.r.ges.
Deficit financi.ng as now practiced is increasing the debt _burden at an alarming rate.
An attempt should be made to reverse that trend.
Respectfully,
• i iy��i�y'�<'E�"_

l. The City is paying for the cost of capital improvements in one year,
when the capital improvements have an average benefit value from
25 to 50 years.
2. In time of economic stress (or political dire) there is a tendency
to drastically reduce or postpone the capital improvement proQram,
because there is a direct reduction in the mill levy.
II. Capital Improvement Bonding
A. Pros
1. Assuming continuous infJ_ation with the corresponding decrease in the
value of tlze dollar, the total value of the dollars used to pay the
annual_ debt is less than the actual value of dollars worth of
construction purchased.
2. The City is spreading the cost of paying for capital i.mprovement
projects over the same period of time that the benefits of the
projects will be realized.
3. It is easier for a politician to continue the Capital Improvement
Program when it can be bought in one year and paid for in install-
ments, starting a year later.
B. Cons
l. In total number of dollars, a bonding program has a larger debt
than a pay-as-you-go.
2. Engineering and Design of a capital improv�ment cannot start until
after bonds are sold and the money is in the bank, usually not until
late February or early March of a given budget year. •

ORIGINAL PURPOSE FOR CIB LEGISL�ITION
In the 25 years prior to the commencement of the CIB Bonding Program in
1�67, the only major c apital improvement projects constructed in Saint Paul
were financed from the 1953 Second United Improvement Bond Issue. The City
had no orderly pr.ocess for constructing the needed sewers, playgrounds, parks, �
fire stations, libraries and other im��rovements.
In 1967 a legislative bill was introduced by Representati.ve Fred Norton and
Senator Nicholas Coleman which provided Saint Paul with the m�ans to tax
themselves, through bonding authority, for thc purpose of financing needed
improvements and establ.ishing an annual Capital Improvement Budget Program.
The major purpose for establishing an annual Cap.i_tal Improvement Budget Program
was to eliminate the major "One-Shot, Something For �veryone" and "Special
Ini�erest Project" bond issues and to establish an on-going program whereby
priorities could be established and projects plaiined and coordinated. The
CIB process as formulated for Saint Paul fosters not just citizen input, but
true citizen involvemer,t in determining priorities and makirig recommendations.
Saint Paul chose the road to self-help by utilizing CIB Boncling legislation
prior to any major effort by the Federal Government through the Urban Renc�wal-
Nei.ghborhood Development Programs, and the Model Cities Program. Without the
CIB Bonding Program, in the last nine years Saint Paul would only have had
financed the new Civic Center and the new schaols constructed by the
Independent School District #625.
We can thank our far-sighted Saint Paul Legislators and local delegation for
providing our City with the opportunity to finance the many "neighborhood-needed"
projects, such as:
Saint Anthony Park and Hoyt-Flandrau Storm and Relief Sewers
Neighborhood recreation centers such as Arlington, Battle Creek, Dayton's
Bluff, Hazel Park, Palace, Rice-•Lawson, Scheffer, and Sylvan
The acquisition, restoration and development of Hiddeh Falls Park, Crosby
Farm Nature Center, and Marydale Park
Lexington, Sun-Ray and Highland Park Branch Libraries
Payne Avenue and White Bear Avenue fire stations and Metro Fire Training
Center
Jaint City-School projects such as Frost Lake and Londin Lane Recreation Centers
Paving and bridge projects such as Warner Road, Whi.te Bear Avenue Bridge,
Marshall Avenue Bridge, and Hamline Avenue paving
City-wide projects such as handicapped sidewalk ramps, mid-block lighting,
traffic signals, opti-com system (fire truck traffic signal control
system) , bike trails, picnic tables and tree plantings
Baker School, ]iighland Park and Oxford Swimming Pools
City-wide park impr�vements at Battle Cr�ek Park, Cherokee Park, Como
Pask, and FIighland Park.

GOALS ESTABLISHED FOR OBTAINING NEW CIB LEGISLATION r-[�r`��
�
1. INCREASED FINANCING AUTHORITY AA90UNT, based on need and not on inflation.
2. Obtain FINANCING AUTHORITY BASED ON A FIXED MILL RATE which would provide
for increas�d number oL do].lars as Saint Paul's taxable assessed valua-
tion increases.
3. Obtain FINANCING FLEXIBILITY which would allow the City to finance
capital impro�ements through bonds, and, or a tax levy outside the
levy limit.
4. Obtain P�Rh�NLNT ANNUAL FINANCING AUTHURI"_'Y.

6. Bonds issued pursuant � to a provision of a law which �
permits the issuance of obligations of a municipality �
without an election. �
Chapter 10 of the Saint Paul City Charter pertaining to
financing has certain provisions dealing specifically ;.
with this issue . Section 10. 11 of the Charter provides �
- that bonds may be issued without the necessity of an ap— �
. proval of the voters where the bonds are issued for the
purpose of creating or preserving a special assessment
. revolving fund or funds , or where the obligations are �
payable from the proceeds of revenue producing projects .
Section 10. 12 of the Charter contains language prohibiting '
the sale of other bonds without a vote of the electors .
Said section provides as follows ;
"The council , may by resolution approved by five
of its members , provide fo r the issuance of othe r
, bonds of the city, but no such bonds sYiall be is—
sued unless the question of their issuance has s
been approved by a majority of the electors voting
upon the question at a general or special election. "
Therefore , based upon Chapter 475 of Minnesota Statutes
and Chapter 10 of the Saint Paul City Charter, in order
for the City of Saint Paul to issue general obligation
bonds for the purpose of capital improvements or a tree .
trimming program, it is necessary for the City to either �:`
establish a policy that the improvements will be paid for
on the basis of a sppeific assessment agai_nst the property
which is benefited by the improvement ; or the City could
submit the matter to a vote of the electors at a general
or special election; or the City Council could seek to �-
have the Chaz•ter amended so as to allow for the issuance f
� of such bonds without a vote of the electorate ; or the ;
City could seek the adoption of state legislation author— ;
izing the issuance of said bonds without a vote of the
electorate .
The question propounded by the City Council i;o this office ;
with regard to the issue of submitting boncl matters to �
the electorate for approval included a request as to the
legality and procedure of submitting all of these bond
finance programs. to the electorate in one package . In �
order for there to be a proper statement of the proposition

�
on the ballot with regard to the bonding of these capi�tal ;
projects , we would suggest that the following procedure ?
be followed in placing this matter upon the ballot : i
A. If the inteni;ion is to request voter approval for �
. more than one year, it is our suggestion that the �
program placed upon the ballot for approval WOL11C1
' ' be the five-year capital improvement program pro- �
� vided for in Section 10. 02 of the City Charter.
. B. The proposition should specifically state the �
maximuru amount of bonds which could be issued for p
any one year dur�ing this five-year program. Plac-
ing a formula type bond authorization, i .e . , amount
of bonds equivalent to the amount which could be
raised by a specific mill rate levy, rather than
specifying a rnaximum amount of bonds which could '
be issued, wauld place the validity of the election
in jeopardy. It is bond counsel ' s suggestion that
a formula based upon an Linknown amount at the time
of the election should be avoided.
C. The proposition placed on the ballot should specify
that this bonding authority is in addition to other
authority for capital improvements provided by law.
This way, the electorate would be advised that they
are not voting for the entire capital improve�nent
program for the City of Saint Paul , since there are
other capital improvements which are authorized at -
times by special laws .
It should be pointed out that if the Council determines
to submit these capital improvement bonding matters to `.
the voters for approval , the same quesi;ion cannot be placed
i;o the electors for a period of 180 days from the da�te of �
the election if the first election does not result in an
approval of the . issuance of the obligations . If the second }''
election also results in a voter refusal to approve the is-
suanee of . the bonds , the mati;er cannot be submitted to the
electors for a period of one year following the second
� election.

SAINT PAUL AREA G'�IAMBER OF COMMERCE .
Local Government Task Force
RECONIl�4ENDATIONS REGARDING SAINT PAUL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BONDING REQUEST
Madam President, and Members of the Council:
My name is JOHN COSTELLO, and I am appearing tonight on behalf of the Local Govern-
ment Task. Force of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce and its committee on city bond-
ing.
Our task force appreciates the position of the City Administration and the City
Council supporting the continuation of Saint Paul's Capital Improvement Bonding program.
We strongly support that position. This bonding program provides Saint Paul with a planned
orderly process for improving and constructing needed public facilities such as sewers and
fire stations. With legislative authority for the $4-1/2 million C.I.B. program termin-
ating this year, there seems to be little debate over whether or not the program should be
continued.
There has, however, been considerable discussion about the amount of the proposed
bonding authoritq. We believe a req est to place 18 mill authority on top of our present
mill rate �£v����ga�- �- �T�--...i'y- would be unwise. It is our opinion that it
would place too great a burden on property taxpayers, both business and residential, during
this time of recession. In addition, there are other city needs, such as police cars and
fire trucks, which cannot be financed by capital bonding which we believe should be weighed
against these programs.
We believe consideration should be given to approving the $4-1/2 million program
adopted in 1970 plus the inflation factor since that time. It is our understanding that up
to $3 million would be needed to meet increased construction costs since that time. We
would also recommend consideration be given to staging the increase so that the total amount
of new bonding would not exceed $7-1/2 million. As an example, if a Housing Rehab program
of $2 million is found to be needed by the City Council, a request for the C.I.B, program
/� � -� � � �
for 1976 would be $5-1/2 million..(�.,� � ,�� � '���j�_� —� �,��,� ',�i ��

LOWR.Y ANNEX �� �
.
We are aware of a study which concludes that the City could enjoy cost savings
by purchasing the Lowry Medical Annex. In considering this proposal we hope you will
take into account all aspects affecting the final cost to the City, including:
1) The cost resulting from the loss of taxes from the Lowrq Annex building;
2) The effect of the loss of income to the Building's now-rented space to
city agencies on their ability to continue to pay taxes;
3) Increased cost due to the fact that more space is provided in the build-
ing than the total of presently rented space;
4) Additional incidental costs, such as remodeling and relocation fees.
If, after consideration of these points, the purchase of the building still pro-
vides cost savings to the City, we would support the proposal. We do suggest, however,
that as a means of offering control in determining actual cost savings and as a means of
complying with the spirit of the 6 percent spending limitation imposed by the State, the
City continue to charge affected city agencies and departments rent and apply the funds to
cover the debt service of the building.
We do not suggest this is a means of preventing relief to the maintenance and
operation budget, which is already prevented from expanding to meet the needs of inflation.
We simply believe that this is not the way to obtain relief, nor is this the way to allo-
cate the spending of any potential relief. Instead, we believe relief must be accomplished
through state aids returning to Saint Paul on a fair basis some of the resources which we
provide to the State of Minnesota. As you know, we strongly support you in this effort,
both through our contributions to the McComb Study and through our efforts with legis-
lators.
3TREET IMPROVEMENT
We believe the street improvement program should not be a separate part of the
city's present request for bonding authority. The complete program would be very large
and costly. If it is to be undertaken, we believe a referendum would be desirable.
Specific street projects, however, might be considered by the C.I.B. Committee for pri-
ority rating.
. , . � -3-
PERMANENT AUTHORITY
It has been proposed that the City Council seek permanent bonding authority from
the city. It is our belief that there is little real advantage to making the program per-
manent. If inflation continues at even a modest rate, we believe the city wi11 desire at
some point to approach the Legislature for an increase in bonding authority to counteract
the effects of inflation. We see much advantage to renewing authority on a periodic basis,
not because we wish to see the Legislature run the City's Capital Program, but rather,
because it forces the City to reconsider its program and its priorities. In addition,
it does offer an opportunity to increase authority if needed. It is our opinion that we
need not fear that the Legislature would not approve a modest program for a time period
of 6 years. The Legislature, however, may have some concerns over the establishment of a
permanent dedicated fund. We share those concerns.
LIMITATION
It has been proposed that the program be limited on a mill basis, rather than a
dollar basis. This would have the advantage of offering some growth potential if the
program were to be approved on a permanent basis. In such a case we would support a
mill rate limitation. However, if the program is to continue on a 6-year basis, we see
no need for such a change. We do believe that if a mill limitation is approved, consider-
ation should be given to the effects of the State Tax Commissioner's program to equalize
the assessment sales ratio throughout the state. If such a program were approved this
year, it is our belief the city would receive a windfall of approximately $600,000 which
we believe should be subtracted from the mill limitation.
THREE-YEAR. PROGRAM
There has been considerable discussion about enlarging the City's Capital Improve-
ment Bonding program at this time to allow creation of more public construction jobs to
offset limited construction jobs in the private sector, and thus a11ow the city to "prime
the economic pump" putting more money into the economy. We do not favor a large new C.I.B.
program because it wouZd be financed from the property tax which, during these times of
� ' � -4-
economic recession, can be an extra burden to both home owners and businesses. We do
suggest, however, that study and consideration be given to the possibility of operating
on a three-year basis rather than on an annual basis to allow extra flexibility in timing
public projects to coincide with decreasing private activity.
This proposal would provide some flexibility while maintaining control over
total expenditures and maintaining an even debt program.
COMPREIi�NSIVE C.I.B. COMMITTEE
The taxpayers of Saint Paul are affected not only by the city's debt, but also
by that of Ramsey County and the School District. Therefore, we would suggest that these
agencies cooperate by authorizing and appointing a joint capital improvement committee to
review ar.d prepare recommendations on the total bonding proposals of all such agencies.
While such a coromittee could only present recommendations, we believe these recommenda-
tions would help each of the agencies involved coordinate programs and better consider
the total effect on taxpayers. �
Madam President, and Members of the Council -- These are our recommendations.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

MY NAME IS ALLEN 0. ASHLEY OF 968 WEST IDAHO AVENUE
MY FIRST COMMENT IS THAT WE ARE NOT AGAINST PROGRESS AS SUCH,
PROVIDED THAT THE FUNDS REQUESTED ARE REASONABLE, OF REAL NECESSITY�
AND AT A TIME WHEN THE ECONOMY IS NOT AT SUCH A LOW EBB.
YES, IT IS TRUE YOUR POSITION AS COUNCILMEN IS NOT THE EASIEST ONE,
IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE, YOU WILL FIND PROBLEMS T00. WE ALL KNOW THAT OUR �
REAL ESTATE TAXES ARE AT ITS LIMIT - BEYOND A CERTAIN LEVEL SOMETHING IS
GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK IT BEHOOVES EACH ONE OF YOU COUNCILMEN TO TAKE
� A SECOND LOOK AT THE BONDING OR LEVYING AUTHORITY BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR
REQUEST TO THE LEGISLATURE.
TONIGHT, I AM REQUESTING OF THE PROPER AUTHORITY WHETHER IT IS THE
COUNCILMEN OR THE MAYOR TO REINSTATE THE OILING AND SANDING OF THE STREETS
IN ST. PAUL, IF THAT PROGRAM HAD NOT BEEN DROPPED BY THE MAYOR TWO YEARS
AGO, THE HOLES IN THE STREETS WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OILING AND
SANDING DID A GOOD JOB IN KEEPING THE STREETS SEALED.
