City Hall and Court House
Saint Paul 2, Minnesota
The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul, meeting
on November 12, 1957, did take formal action to set up and
approve, by a resolution duly passed, an operational budget
for the Port Authority for 1958 in the amount of $80,000.00,
in the field of operation encompassed by the legislation
passed at the last session of the Legislature, said field
of operation being commonly described as the creation of
industrial development districts. This authority was con-
tained in Laws of Minnesota 1957, Chapter 812, and such
action was taken pursuant to Sec. 18 of said Act.
Attached hereto is a certified copy of the resolution
passed by the Port Authority.
We request, therefore, that your honorable body take
the necessary procedural action providing for the necessary
levy to meet the needs of the budget described.
You undoubtedly are aware that the Port Authority, un-
der Laws of Minnesota 1957, Chapter 812, is restricted to
.35 mill for such purposes.
The question arose as to whether or not, at this date,
the Port Authority could, by formal action, provide for
this budget and ask that the City Council pass the neces-
sary resolution of tax levy for transmittal thereof to the
County Auditor. The Port Authority inquired of Mr. Hurley
on this point, asking for his opinion. A copy of his
opinion is attached hereto.
Yours very truly,

Mr. Joseph R. Okoneski
City Clerk
City Hall and Court House
Dear Mr. Okoneski:
The Port Authority in its meeting on November 12, 1957,
made up its budget for 1958 operations in the sum of Eighty
Thousand Dollars 080,000.00) . Under the law it is limited
to a tax levy of .35 of one mill.
Tomorrow, November 14th, Mr. Fitzpatrick, President of
the Port Authority, is transferring a certified copy of the
action of the Port Authority to the City Council. I have '
prepared, and it will be ready for Council action tomorrow,
a resolution of tax levy to be passed by the City Council,
providing for a levy of the tax not to exceed .35 of one
mill for the purpose designated.
May I ask that your office transmit , immediately upon
passage of this resolution of tax levy by the Council, a cer-
tified copy of such resolution to the office of the County
Auditor. I would appreciate this matter being done speedily,
inasmuch as I have been informed by representatives of the
County Auditor 's office that they desire to have such certi-
fied copy not later than November 15, 1957, which appears to
be a termination date on the part of that office to accept
resolutions showing action by our Council in the matter of the
levy of any taxes.
I thought that I would write you this letter today so
that you would be advised, in advance, of the necessity for
speedy action in the event that the Council passes the tax
levy resolution requested by the Port Authority.
Yo 's ve y truly

of one mill upon the dollar of the assessed
valuation thereof, upon all the taxable
property in such city, excluding money and
credits ; and any money levied for such
purpose shall be paid over by the county
treasurer to the treasurer of the port
authority for expenditure by it as in its
judgment best serves the public interest
in the carrying on and the execution of its
duties in the creation and development of
such industrial development districts. The
levy herein provided shall be in addition
to that provided for in Minnesota Statutes
1953, Section 458.14."
The only question involved in this matter before us
is whether or not the requested appropriation by an autonomous
body, such as the Port Authority, would be limited by the
time provision in the Charter relating to the closing of the
City budget and the levying of the tax. This, as you know,
must be done by Charter, in City operations, not later than
October 15th. I do not see any applicability of the Charter
provisions referred to to the operations of tie Port Authority
under and pursuant to the above quoted section of the Port
Authority Act.
I do believe that in the future it might be well for
the Port Authority to have its request in at the time that
the City budget is being made up solthat the Comptroller
and the City Council would at that time have an over-all
picture of what the financial needs of the City would be
for the ensuing year. I suggest this only as a type of
procedure to gear the Port Authority's operation with that
of the City in making up the whole budget.
There is, I repeat, in my opinion, no barrier or limi-
tation upon the Port Authority's requesting this appropriation
and the City levying it.
Yours very truly,
Marshall F. Hurley

vised by the Port Authority that the moneys to be obtained from

1957, Chapter 812, Sec. 18) are to enable the Port Authority
of the City of Saint Paul efficiently and in the public interest
to carry out the aims and purposes of said new Act in the creation
and development of industrial development districts as in the Act
provided, a new and added function imposed by said law on said
Port Authority in addition to powers herebefore possessed.
