Lucille Johnson - Nov. 6 PUBLIC HEARING On 2003 Budgets
From: Greg Blees
To: Blees, Greg; Budget Process Communications
Date: 10/10/02 5:41 PM
Subject: Nov. 6 PUBLIC HEARING On 2003 Budgets
Public Hearing Notice # 2
Saint Paul City Council and
St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (H.R.A.)
Public Hearings on the 2003 City and H.R.A. Budgets, City
Service Levels, and H.R.A. Tax Increment Plans
Wednesday, November 6, 2002 at 5:30 p. m.
City Council Chambers
Room 300, City Hall and Court House,
15 West Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul, Minnesota
PUBLIC HEARING PURPOSE:
To Hear Concerns and Comments From the General Public and Interested
Organizations and Groups Regarding the City and H.R.A. 2003 Budgets, City
Service Levels, and Tax Increment Financing Plans.
This year the Saint Paul City Council will be holding a comprehensive Public
Hearing to hear concerns and comments regarding all aspects of the City's
proposed 2003 budgets. A person can come to this one meeting and comment on
Right-Of-Way Maintenance Assessments, Sewer Service Charges, and Water
Service Rates, as well as the spending and service delivery plans for all City
departments and offices, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the Saint Paul
Regional Water Utility and the RiverCentre Authority.
The Public Hearing on the proposed City and H.R.A. budgets and on H.R.A.
Tax Increment Financing Plans has been set for Wednesday, November 6,
2002 at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Room 300, Cityhall and
Courthouse, Fourth Street and Wabasha.
Comments and questions are welcomed for operating budgets, debt service budgets,
capital improvements, re-development projects and tax increment financing plans.

Page 2 of 2
With valuable input from interested citizens, organizations and groups, the City
Council / H.R.A. Board hopes to be able to consider additional options for being
responsive to the service needs of Saint Paul residents and taxpayers.
On September 11, 2002, the City Council set the maximum amount of property taxes it
can levy for the 2003 services governed by the Saint Paul Mayor and City Council. That
amount was the same amount as levied last year for 2002 services. Thus, if any new or
higher level services are to be approved for 2003, the added cost would most likely
have to be offset by reduction in other existing City services.
In addition to the November 6th Public Hearing on the City's budget, there
will also be a JOINT TRUTH-IN-TAXATION PUBLIC
HEARING with the Saint Paul Board of Education and the Ramsey County
Board of Commissioners on Tuesday December 10, 2002 at 6
p.m. at Arlington Senior High School to hear comments on
property taxation. This joint public hearing on property taxation is
required by state law.
