Re: Parking Pad Expansion—Other Project?
Dear Mr. Wilson:
I was in your neighborhood on inspections, May 10th. While there I observed a large quantity of
block in your driveway and that the grade alongside of it appears to have been prepared for a
parking pad.
-ZA -
I do not find record of a parking pad permit having been applied for or issued to this address nor
any other permit since the re-roof permit issued in 2017.
Please be advised that work permits are required for many projects, including parking pad, shed
and retaining walls.
2 of 44
The grade,with the vehicles parked upon it, does not constitute a compliant parking pad. I have
enclosed a recent City newsletter article that discussed what is considered an approved parking
pad and also limitation to what may be placed upon it. If you plan to use this as a parking area, City
Ordinance does require that it be an approved parking pad and a permit is required.
No work to this parking pad or any other project with the blocks at this property shall occur until
such time a permit has been applied for and issued.
Please contact me no later than Friday, May 18th regarding the parking pad and the what is being
planned for the blocks in the driveway. You can contact me at 651.351.1661 or via email at
jhultman@cityofoakparkheights.com.
If you feel it would be easier to discuss in person, I am happy to schedule a date and time to meet
you on site.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,

Stillwater,MN 55082
RE:Site on 62nd street
Dear Ms.Dieientheis: `
You had posed a question as to the capacity of being able to build
a single-family home on your property identified as shown on the
map below as generated utilizing Washington County map data.
Any construction would need to comply with the full scope of City
ordinances and I cannot engage each and every situation until a
plan was submitted and fully understood. But, as it relates to a
general ability to construct a home on the parcel from a lot size and gym.
width requirements please note the following typical situations:
1. Your property is Zoned in an R-2 District.,
2. Per 401.15 C.2.A minimum lot size of 10,400 square feetM
is required to build. .
3. A minimum lot width of 80 feet is required to build.
However,pursuant to City Ord.401.15 A.13 a. 1, (copy enclosed)if your parcel is an existing lot of record,prior to the
adoption of the current ordinance,-which we understand it is,then these size and width rules could be deviated from by
up to 70%for a single-family use. Meaning the minimum size could be reduced to 7,280 square feet and minimum lot
width to 56 feet.
Your site–again pursuant to County data-appears to be 75 wide and 120 feet deep as shown on the map.Thus,the site would
appear to be compliant with the width(being more than 56')and size(being more than 7,280).(75 X 120=9,000).Please note
however that while these reductions apply to the width and lot size requirements,they do not apply to any other building setbacks
or land use provisions of the code–see 401.15 A.13 a.2.(enclosed),and typical building setbacks would be required.
• As it relates to the driveway matter from 62nd street,it would appear very possible to install a driveway from the end of the street
but would likely require a Conditional Use Permit under 401.15.4.h.2(enclosed)
• Lastly as it relates to the right of way between your home and the lot discussed above, any private use of such right of way is
subject to removal at any time and cannot be considered as establishing a property right.In the interim,the City has no objection
to the use of such lands as it generally is being used today and or for other passive purposes.At this time,we have no immediate
need for these lands nor is any utility work pending. Of course,this could change in the future where this right of way is critical
and this area could be significantly disturbed,but again nothing is planned now.
Although I know of no pending action,City Ordinances can change over time and is something to keep in mind.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards
441—
Eric Johnson
City Administrator

Subject: Coalition of Utility Cities update
Coalition of Utility Citiesmembers:
We want to update you on the language we alerted you to last night that would order the Department of Revenue to
propose new valuation rules for public utilities by July 1 of this year and finalize them by October.Attached is a letter
opposing the language that was sent today by Revenue Commissioner Cynthia Bauerly to the conference committee and
other key legislators.
We also had the chance to speak with key legislators about this throughout the day and are making progress on seeing
that it is not included in the final bill, but nothing is guaranteed yet. In response to the Enbridge pipeline valuation
lawsuit,the Association of Minnesota Counties has been working on the attached language that would order a report on
the recent history of tax court challenges to utility valuations.We had concerns about an earlier version of this proposal
when Xcel was seeking a much more extensive study of the valuation process, but would be much more comfortable
with the attached language as an alternative to the brand new rulemaking language that popped up last night. Please let
us know if you have thoughts on this.
Finally,thank you to those of you who have contacted your legislators and others about this. It helped significantly as we
worked with the legislature on this today. If you have not done so already, please contact them as soon as you are able.
Thank you again.

Dear Chairs Rosen and Knobloch:
Thank you for your work to move toward a budget bill. I want to commend the Conference
Committee for adopting the Senate position recognizing the need to not cut the department's
budget. I have significant concerns, however, about Section 33 of SF 3656 which requires the
department to amend Rule 8100 by October of 2018. The Minnesota Department of Revenue
adopted Rule 8100 in order to consistently and fairly value pipeline and utility property.
The language in Section 33 is entirely new,and was not heard in either the House or Senate
committees this session.The department strongly opposes Section 33.
Amending Rule 8100 by October of 2018 is both unrealistic and unworkable.The last time this
rule was revised,the department spent several years actively engaging all interested
stakeholders and reviewing unitary valuation principles and practices. The department held
multiple open forums for public discussion and comment.The department also formed and
facilitated an advisory committee that included representatives from the utility and pipeline
industry, House and Senate staff,trade organizations including the Minnesota Chamber of
Commerce,tax practitioners, and interested cities and counties.The advisory committee met
on multiple occasions to inform the rulemaking process.
In contrast,the rulemaking process proposed in Section 33 is incomplete.The short, narrowly
focused expedited process required in Section 33 excludes review of valuation principles and
practices, and curtails meaningful engagement with the public and interested stakeholders.
Finally, Rule 8100 is the subject of a Tax Court ruling issued earlier this week.The department
has already announced its intention to appeal this decision to the Minnesota Supreme Court,
making it premature to consider any changes to the rule until the Court has had the
opportunity to decide the issue.
We also remain concerned about the language in this bill adding new requirements to the
incidence analysis.

Dear Mr.Johnson:
The Metropolitan Council has prepared preliminary population and household estimates for your community as of
April 1,2017. This is an annual process governed by Minnesota Statutes 473.24.Please note that these estimates
are different from the Council's local forecasts that your community has reviewed before. Forecasts look ahead to
the coming decades;the annual estimates communicated below look back in time to the previous year.
2017 Annual Population Estimate
The Metropolitan Council estimates that the City of Oak Park HeightsGouse
ple and 2,257
households as of April 1,2017.Household size averaged 1.883 persons p
How was this estimate calculated?
We estimate households and population with a housing-stock-based method,which involves three questions:
1. How many housing units did your community have?
2. How many households occupied these housing units?
3. How many people lived in these occupied housing units?
This letter includes an overview of our estimation method along with a report showing the data inputs and
calculations used to develop the preliminary estimates.For more information,visit
1,111PS.,,. 1.0r jj POPUidUk)i1C,sLiJ,1L LL_'1,or contact me at 651-602-1513.
Can this estimate be compared to last year's estimate?
Each year,we update our data and refine our methods, so preliminary estimates from different years are not
directly comparable. We don't recommend taking the difference between the 2016 and 2017 estimates to calculate
growth between 2016 and 2017. Instead,we recommend examining growth since the 2010 Census,which you can
find in the enclosed report.
How can my community provide feedback on this estimate?
We welcome discussion of the preliminary estimates and invite you to review and comment on them.Please send
any written comments or questions to Matt Schroeder,Metropolitan Council Research, 390 Robert Street North,
Saint Paul,MN 55101; or by e-mail to vttt.Schroeder(a mete.state.mn.u:. Under Minnesota Statutes 473.24, we
must receive your comments, questions, or specific objections, in writing, by June 24, 2018.
What happens after my community provides feedback?
The Council will certify final estimates by July 15,2018 for state government use in allocating local government
aid and street aid.
Sincerely,
Matt Schroeder

Census
The Metropolitan Council estimates population using the housing stock method,which answers three main questions for each
community as of April 1, 2017.
First, how many housing units did the community have?
• We start with housing units measured by the 2010 Census, then add units built between 2010 and 2016, based on permits
reported to us by communities. (Permit data are available on our website
(https://stats.metc.state.mn.us/data—download/DD—start.aspx).)
o We assume that 95%of single-family detached units and 90%of town home/du plex/triplex/quadplex units permitted in
2016 were completed and occupiable by April 1, 2017; the remainder are assumed to have been completed after that
date and will count toward next year's estimates(for April 1, 2018).
o Multifamily units permitted between 2010 and 2013 are assumed to be completed. Units permitted between 2014 and
2016 are counted only if they were open by April 1, 2017;the remaining units will count toward next year's estimates if
they were open by April 1. 2018.According to our records, Oak Park Heights permitted 0 multifamily units in 2014 or
2015 that were not open by April 1, 2017, and 0 units permitted in 2016 that were not open by April 1, 2017.
o Manufactured home data comes from our annual surveys of manufactured home park operators and local
governments.
o Data on other housing (boats. RVs, etc. used as housing) comes from the most recent American Community Survey
data;this housing is included in the estimates only if occupied.
• We also examine other housing stock changes reported by communities. These include demolitions, building conversions
(units added or lost), boundary changes (units annexed in or out). and other changes reported by city and township staff.

Tax Conference Committee
Resolves Differences Between !' "
LEAGUE
House and Senate Tax Bills ""CST ESaTA
The agreement includes several provisions of interest to cities and
also removes the local referendum requirements that were in the House bill.
House and Senate Tax conferees released a compromise tax agreement on May 11
that focuses on personal income and corporate income tax changes needed to
conform with the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The bill also offsets
personal and corporate income tax increases that would otherwise occur under the
conformity changes.
The conference committee report reflects the unified position of the Legislature.
Gov. Dayton had stated that he would not negotiate until the House and Senate had
finalized their negotiations. The tax chairs, Rep. Greg Davids(Link to:
http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/members.asp?id=10123)(R-Preston) and Sen. Roger
Chamberlain(Link tu:http://www.senate.mnlmemberslmember_bio php?mem_id=1187)(R-Lino Lakes),
announced at the conclusion of the May 11 hearing that they would provide the
governor and the Department of Revenue several days to review the legislative
position. The conference committee will reconvene on May 14 or May 15 to work
with the governor on a final tax conference committee report.
Provisions of interest to cities
Referendum requirements not included
• None of the referendum reauirements or modifications included in the House
bill were adopted in the initial agreement. These included:
o Gas and Electric Franchise Fee reverse referendum. The House bill
included a new notification and reverse referendum provision added to
the process to enact or renew a municipal gas and electric franchise fee.
• Lease purchase financing reverse referendum. The House bill included
a new reverse referendum requirement for lease-purchase financing
arrangements between an economic development authority, housing and
redevelopment authority, or a port authority and a city or county. First
class cities (Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and Rochester)would have
been exempt from this requirement.
o Local referendum elections moved to November. The House bill
included an article that would modify a number of statutes addressing
local referendum requirements to remove special election options and,
therefore, require these referendums to be held at a general election in
November.
20 of 44
Expanded local tax prohibition
The agreement includes the modifications to the existing statutory prohibition on
local income and sales taxes, expanding it to also cover excise taxes and fees of
food and containers. This expansion was included despite the League's opposition.
The League did successfully argue for an exemption from the fee limit for license
fees.
Local government aid (LGA)
• Lilydale. The agreement includes a one-time increase in the LGA distribution
for the City of Lilydale ($150,000 for regional sewer costs), but does not
increase the LGA appropriation to cover the cost.
• Hermantown. The agreement includes a one-time increase in the LGA
distribution for the City of Hermantown ($97,260 to retroactively address an
unintentional LGA formula error), but does not increase the LGA
appropriation to cover the cost.
• LGA acceleration. The agreement does not include the increase in the amount
of LGA that will be distributed in June 2019. Under last year's tax bill, the
state accelerated the distribution of roughly $77 million of the July 2019 LGA
payment to June 2019. The House bill would have increased that acceleration
to roughly $91 million.
Sales tax exemptions
The agreement includes:
• Construction materials sales tax exemption for a public safety facility in
Minnetonka.
• Construction materials sales tax exemption for a fire station in Inver Grove
Heights.
• Sales tax exemption for the construction or remodel of a fire station in
Virginia.
• A retroactive sales tax refund on the construction costs related to an Elko-
New Market water treatment facility.
• An extension of a sales tax exemption for reconstruction projects in the City
of Melrose as a result of a downtown fire.
Tax increment financing (TIF) special law provisions
The agreement includes:
• Bloomington Central Station TIF district.
• Champlin Mississippi Crossings TIF district.
21 of 44
Local sales taxes/tax adjustments
The agreement includes:
• St. Cloud food/beverage tax and lodging taxes modification.
• Cloquet general sales tax use adjustment.
• St. Paul lodging tax increase.
• Excelsior local option sales tax authorized.
Other items of interest included in the initial conference committee
agreement:
• A clarification that cities and towns may appropriate funds for historical
societies in the respective city or town. Under current law, a city or town can
only appropriate funds for a county historical society.
• A grant to the city of Mazeppa for recovery efforts related to a fire.
• A state general property tax abatement and sales tax break for medical
facilities in underserved areas of Greater Minnesota.
• A state general property tax abatement for qualifying properties in Aitken,
Crow Wing, and Mille Lacs due to fishing ban.
• A state general property tax abatement for qualifying natural gas line
extensions in unserved areas.
• A provision calling for a study of a state-level housing tax credit for investors
based on a bill introduced by Sen. Carla Nelson (R-Rochester) (SF 3301) and
supported by the Minnesota Housing Partnership earlier in session that would
have created a tax credit program based on a model from North Dakota.

Senate Majority Releases $825
Million Bonding Bill
'E „ `
ty�1NNESQTA
[ITIESAGUE
The measure, which compares to the recently advanced House
bonding package, but does not align with Gov. Dayton's $1.5 billion
proposal, contains several provisions of interest to cities.
(Published May 14, 2018)
Senate Capital Investment Committee Chair Dave Senjem(Link to:
http://www.senate.mn/members/member bio.php?mem_id=1058)(R-Rochester) released his $825 million
omnibus bonding bill on May 9. The measure, SF 4013(Link to:
htips://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill php?f=SF4013&y=2018&ssn=0&b=senate), funds a variety of public works
accounts and projects statewide.
The bill was passed by the Senate Capital Investment Committee(Linkto:
http://www.senate.legstate.mn.us/committees/committee_biophp?cmte_id=1002&1s=90)on May 10 and will be heard
inthe Finance Committee(Link to:http://www.senate.leg.state.mn.us/committees/committee_biophp?
cmte_id=1007&1s=90)in the coming days. It spends an amount equal to the House bonding
bill, IIF 4404(Link to:https:/fwww.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill php?b=House&f=HF4404&ssn=0&y=2017), authored by
Rep. Dean Urdahl(Link to:http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/members.asp?leg id=10792)(R-Grove
City).
However, the Senate proposal is more prescriptive in how the money will be spent.
State agency commissioners have testified on both bills, saying they fall well short
of Gov. Dayton's proposed $1.5 billion package.
Items of interest to cities
Some provisions in the Senate bonding bill that may be of interest to cities include
the following:
• $344.78 million for transportation funding, including:
o $65.8 million for the Local Road Improvement Program
$15 million for the Local Bridge Replacement Program
• $120 million for water infrastructure projects, including:
o $20 million for federal revolving fund match
$27 million water infrastructure fund (WIF) grants for clean water
$10 million WIF grants for drinking water
$35 million for point source implementation grants
• $85 million for housing projects, including:
a $5 million for public housing rehabilitation
o $30 million for housing infrastructure bonds
23 of 44
$50 million for housing infrastructure bonds for persons with behavioral
health needs
• $32 million for construction of new veterans' homes
A number of local, city-specific projects are also included in the spreadsheet and
bill language.
No guarantee of bonding bill, but appears likely
The bonding bill is typically one of the last bills passed during session. While there
is no promise of a bonding bill in 2018, recent activities at the Capitol suggest
legislative leaders are planning to send an omnibus capital investment bill to Gov.
Dayton before the constitutional adjournment date of May 21.
The League is actively advocating for passage of a robust bonding bill that includes
provisions benefiting cities.

House Committees Approve
Omnibus Pension Bill With
LrneuF
Changes for PERA and Other "'��T ESO7A
Plans
The bill, which was approved by the Senate in late March, would also require some
dissolved relief associations to return unneeded funds to the state.
(Published May 14, 2018)
The omnibus pension bill finally began the committee process in the House as the
Government Operations and Elections Policy Committee(Link to:
h:tpAwww.house.reg.State.mn.us1cmtelHomeRcomm=900m)and the State Government Finance
Committee(Link to:hrtp://www.house.legstate.mn.us/cmtelHome/?comm=90021)approved the bill last week.
The bill will now head to the House Ways and Means Committee(Link to:
http://www.house.leg.state.nm.uslcmtelHomePeomm=90027)before it receives a vote on the House floor
this week.
The bill moved very quickly through the Senate, receiving final approval on March
26 on a vote of 66 to 0. The bill includes sustainability changes to the state's major
public pension plans, including the Public Employees Retirement Association
(PERA) General Plan and Police & Fire (P&F)Plan.
During a hearing of the House State Government Finance Committee on May 11,
Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner Myron Frans testified that if a
"stand-alone" version of the bill is presented to Gov. Dayton, the governor will sign
it into law. The commissioner's reference to a"stand-alone" bill was the result of
last year's merger of the omnibus pension bill with a number of local government
pre-emption provisions, which the governor subsequently vetoed.
Relief association amendment
The bill was amended to include a special law for the City of Maplewood due to
the recent dissolution of their volunteer fire relief association and also to increase
the lump-sum maximum annual benefit to $12,500 for cities that are currently at or
above a lump-sum benefit of$9,500.
The amendment also included a requirement that any volunteer fire relief
association that is, as of the effective date of the bill, providing an annual lump-
sum benefit of$9,500 or more and is dissolved must return unneeded relief
association funds to the state general fund if the city has not made a required
contribution to the fund in the last 10 years. Based on information from the Pension
Commission, only three cities with active relief associations are at the $9,500
annual benefit level—Brainerd, Eden Prairie, and Plymouth.
26 of 44
PERA changes
Of interest to cities, the bill includes a number of PERA General and P&F plan
modifications, including employer and employee contribution increases for the
PERA P&F Plan participants. Under the bill, employer contributions into the P&F
plan will increase by 0.75 percent of salary on Jan. 1, 2019 (to 16.95 percent) and
by an additional 0.75 percent of salary on Jan. 1, 2020 (to 17.7 percent). Employee
contributions will increase by 0.5 percent in each of those years (to 11.3 percent
and then 11.8 percent).
The bill requires $27.2 million in additional spending for the second half(fiscal
year 2019) of the current biennium. Of that total, $4.5 million will be directed to
the PERA P&F Plan to reduce the need for larger employer and employee
contribution increases.
Other pension plans
The other large allocations include roughly $7 million to fund employer
contribution increases for state employees in the Minnesota State Retirement
System (MSRS) General plan, the State Patrol Plan and Corrections Plan; $10.9
million to fund a general education pension adjustment for school district
contributions to the Teachers Retirement Association (TRA) plan; and $5 million to
fund a direct contribution to the St. Paul Teachers Retirement Fund.
The estimated state cost of the bill increases substantially in the next biennium to
$113.3 million for fiscal year (FY) 2020-2021, which is due, in part, to coverage of
two years of operations. However, the increase is also due to a boost in the aid to
the PERA P&F Plan and even larger increases in MSRS and TRA costs. The aid to
the PERA P&F Plan will increase to $9 million beginning in FY 2020.

Water Tank Service Contract
Bill Signed by Governor
LEAGUE
MI�nESOTA
CITIES
Starting in September 2018, cities will be required to use the standard
bid or best value contracting options for water tank maintenance
projects over $175,000 in cost.
(Published May 14, 2018)
A bill (HF 1975(Link to:https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill php?f=HF1975&y=2017&ssn=0&b=house), Rep. Bob
Vogel(Link to:http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/members.asp?leg id=15448), R-Elko New Market) that
removes city authority to use special procurement options when dealing with water
tank maintenance was signed into law as Chapter 124(Link to:https:/hvww.revisor.mn.gov/lawsl?
year=2018&type=0&doctype=Chapter&id=124)on May 8.
The new law removes a previously allowed option under Minnesota Statutes,
section 471.345, subdivision 5b(Link to:https:iAvww.revisor.mn.govlstatutes/Pid=471.345)of including
water tank maintenance work under a multiyear professional service contract
entered into through direct negotiation or a request for proposals.
The bill had narrowly passed the Senate with a 35-31 vote, but passed the House
122-3.
The final bill was amended from earlier versions, changing the threshold from
$100,000 to $175,000. This change was made to match the competitive bid
threshold, which recently changed to $175,000, rather than have its own threshold
value. (See related Cities Bulletin article.(Link to:http.-IAv w.lmc.org/page/1/fonl-competitivebiddingjsp))
So, if the cost of proposed maintenance is estimated to exceed $175,000, a city
would need to separately bid using either a low bid or best value bid procurement
process that is required for all other city contracts. The change will apply to
contracts entered into on or after Sept. 1, 2018.
For more background information about this bill, read a previous Cities Bulletin
article(Link to:http✓/www.lmc.org/page/1/WaterT.*Procurement jsp).

CITIES
City staff and elected officials are encouraged to join these groups
that meet three times during the summer to develop the League's
legislative platform.
(Published Jun 5, 2017)
Dates are set for the 2018 League legislative policy committee meetings. Join your
city colleagues for great discussion about municipal legislative issues.
Last year, more than 150 city officials from all around the state participated in the
four committees that set the legislative policies for the League's lobbying efforts.
—Sign up for a policy committee nOw(Linkto:https://www.surveymonkey.comlrl59MMN3hg
Important note for members who served last year: Please sign up to confirm
your participation again this year, even if you served last year.
Here are answers to some common questions about policy committees:
Who can be on a policy committee?
Current city officials and staff are eligible. City councilmembers, mayors, city
administrators, assistant city administrators, clerks, human resource staff,
municipal elections officials, public safety staff, engineers, finance directors,
economic development staff, and others have been members of the committees.
Committee members can be new to their city position, have many years of
experience, or be somewhere in between. While any member city may have more
than one person serving on a committee, each city will have only one vote on
policies or other committee business.
What typically happens during each of the three committee meetings?
At the first meeting in July, members hear a briefing of the previous legislative
session from LMC staff, network with one another by sharing issues of interest that
are related to the committee, and begin to look at policies to edit, delete, or add. At
the second meeting in August, members usually hear from guest speakers from
state agencies, interest groups, legislators, and other local officials to learn more
about a specific issue of interest to the group. During the third meeting in
September, members continue their work discussing edits to existing or new
policies and vote to approve their policies.
What happens after the third policy committee meeting?
The League's Board of Directors hears about the work of each policy committee
during a fall meeting, typically in October. Then, the draft policies are open for
30 of 44
comment by all League members. Member comments are compiled in early
November, and then the LMC Board makes the final adoption of the policies.
During the next legislative session, the League's IGR staff use the policies to guide
the League's legislative efforts at the Capitol.
When and where are the meetings?
• Improving Service Delivery Committee(Link to:http://www.Imc.orglpagelllimproving-service-

2018 State of the Cities Report
Survey results reveal financial stability overall, but suggest that challenges remain for cities.
The 2018 State of the Cities Report presents findings from the League's 15th annual Fiscal Conditions Survey.The
survey was sent to the chief administrative official in each member city,and the results overall suggest that things
continue to be fairly stable for cities right now.
—View the 2018 State of the Cities Report(pdf)(Link to:https://www.lmc.org/medialdocument/1/sotc2018.pdf?
inline=true)
State of the cities overview
While the data does suggest that challenges for cities remain,especially in the areas of infrastructure funding and
employee costs,most city officials who responded said that their city was better able to meet needs in 2017 than in the
previous year.This echoes the nationwide trend.The National League of Cities reported that 69 percent of city finance
officers were optimistic about meeting their city's fiscal needs in 2017.
Two-thirds of Minnesota cities overall(66 percent)said they were better able to meet needs in 2017 and a slightly bigger
share(70 percent)predict favorable circumstances in 2018.The last several years have represented a stable period for
local government aid(LGA)and the property tax system in terms of major policy changes or funding adjustments.
Areas of stress
Two issues causing stress for cities are health insurance and infrastructure needs.A respondent commented,"Health
insurance cost increases are a huge problem and need to get under control."Another city official offered this comment:
"Infrastructure needs are increasing rapidly,with very little available assistance to address them."
Revenue shortfalls
Among all revenue sources,shortfalls in property tax revenues and in fees/charges/license revenues were cited the most
often by cities.About a third of cities overall said that revenues from those two sources were either slightly less than
expected or more than 10 percent less than expected(32 percent and 35 percent,respectively). The NLC fiscal conditions
report highlighted a slowing of general fund revenues among their member cities.

MAOSC State Newsletter&Legislative Update—May 1S,2018
Final days of Session
The 2018 legislative session will end at midnight next Monday, May 21. Major pending legislation includes a single supplemental
appropriations bill covering all areas of state finances,significant reworking of individual and business tax policy in the omnibus tax
bill,and capital investments in the bonding bill. Most other legislative issues of interest to small cities remain pending.
Progress has been made on some fronts,but none of the major bills were close to wrapping up with less than one week remaining as
legislative leaders and governor negotiate on a global agreement.Gov.Dayton has stressed that he has no intention of calling a
special session. Unique to this year's negotiations is the impact of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act(TCJA)on state taxpayers and
businesses.Without legislative action,significant tax increases and immense state filing complexities will result.The governor
indicated Monday that he will not sign a tax relief and reform bill without first providing additional funding for schools.
Supplemental appropriations
The supplemental appropriations negotiations have progressed with the House and Senate agreeing on some portions of the budget
in the conference committee for,SF3 5 (links to side-by-side tracking sheets).The transportation agreement calls for$8.5 million
for Small Cities Streets in the current biennium,but has no ongoing funding.The agreement also would provide$20 million for state
road reconstruction and resurfacing,$10 million for Corridors of Commerce,and$12.8 million for MNLARS license and registration
remedies and$5 million in compensation to deputy registrars in the current biennium.
Conferees have also agreed to fund border-to-border broadband at$15 million for the current biennium.The House proposal for a
satellite broadband pilot project is not included.Most major budget issues remain unsettled with the governor seeking more in
appropriation bills and Republican leaders trying to keep their full amount of tax relief in place.
House Session Daily update: htta://www.house.leo.state.mn.uVsessiondaily/SDView asox?Storv/D=13368
Appropriations side-by-sides: htta•//www house lea state mn us/Fiscal/Home/TrackinaSheets
Tax bill negotiations
Major differences in House and Senate versions of the Tax bill, HF4385,have been settled and the process has moved into
negotiations with the governor.With rate cuts in both the first and second income tax tiers and an estimated$137 million budget
cost that will grow to$340 million in the next biennium,the legislative offer pressures priorities on the appropriations side of the
equation.Without a state tax plan in place,the federal TCJA will prompt a$460 million hike in this biennium,and raise more than$1
billion in new tax revenues in FY2020-21,as well as triggering substantial tax complexities for individuals and businesses.
All House positions regarding local reverse referenda-opposed by the governor and MAOSC-were rejected in the legislative
compromise reached late last week.The Senate effort to reduce the estate tax also is not included in the legislative offer.These
concessions to the governor,combined with no decision yet to"close up"the conference committee report for final votes on the
House and Senate floors are positive indicators that serious negotiations are taking place relatively sooner rather than later.
A strategy for investment in workforce housing in cities large and small remains an option. Based closely on the public-private
partnership efforts in North Dakota,a study of the Tax Credit Contribution Fund remains in the legislative plan.A funded plan would
be similar to the proposal in SF301.MAOSC includes workforce housing among its list of legislative priorities.

Water issues uncertainty
Gov.Dayton has vetoed the Wild Rice legislation, HF3280which would have nullified existing water quality standards relating to the
impact of sulfates on wild rice.A majority of counties across the state could potentially include designated wild rice waters,based on
MPCA evaluations,subject to regulatory actions that could have an impact on wastewater treatment plant requirements.
Final legislative approval was reached Monday on several other water-related bills,including the 16-year upgrade exemption from
higher effluent standards for new W WTFs—HF2802.and the prohibition on MPCA raising fees without legislative approval—HF2940.
Both of these bills passed by margins that fall well short of the two-thirds majority required to override a veto.Potentially,these
water issues and others could be addressed in subsequent closing negotiations between the governor and legislative leaders.
The MPCA Water Fee Advisory group made considerable progress at the May meeting with several participants suggesting a
nuanced approach that recognizes reasoning for significant fee capture differences among the various municipal,industrial and
agricultural permit classifications.Members of the advisory group will receive surveys prior to the June meeting where
recommendations will be considered,and final actions could be taken.The MPCA staff indicated that it is highly unlikely that fee-
change implementation would take place before a change in administration in 2019 after a new governor is elected.MAOSC Board
member Andy Welti,city administrator of member-city Medford,represents MAOSC on the advisory group.

rnPolitical
Scene
Our feature segment"Minn Political Scene"keeps you updated with brief mentions of particularly notable electoral
activities this busy year.
Normally,we would hate to see MAOSC Board member Tim Burkhardt leave our organization.The Hinckley city council member is
running for the Minnesota House in District 118.We wish the best for Tim and would welcome having an old friend serving_ as a new
legislator if he moves to the state elective level in November.

Earlier this year,we noted that Rep.Paul Thissen(DFL-Minneapolis)wouldn't seek re-election.Last month,Thissen was appointed
to serve on the Minnesota Supreme Court,and his 61B House seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the legislative session.
Other announced retirements from the House not previously reported here include Jon Applebaum(DFL-Minnetonka)Mark Uglem
(R-Champlin)and Linda Slocum(DFL-Richfield).A total of 12 members have announced their decision not to run,including nine
DFLers and three Republicans.

In the governor's race,we're seeing tickets filling out.This week Republican candidate Jeff Johnson selected Donna Bergstrom of
Duluth who is a member of the Red Lake Nation and ran unsuccessfully for state Senate in 2016. Republican Woodbury Mayor Mary
Giuliani Stevens has selected Rep.Jeff Backer(R-Browns Valley).On the DFL side,Tim Walz has selected Rep.Peggy Flanagan(DFL-
St. Louis Park),a member of the White Earth Nation.Neither Backer nor Flanagan has ruled out the possibility of running for re-
election to their respective House seats later in the election season. (Republican candidate Tim Pawlenty hasn't selected a running
mate,nor indicated whether he'll seek the Republican Party endorsement next month or go directly to the August primary.)

Bonding bill negotiations
The bonding bill negotiations appear to be on the back burner as both the governor and legislative leaders grapple with immediate
tax and spending negotiations.The Senate came forward with an$825 million bonding proposal,matching the size of the House
request,but also seeking$224 million in road-funding bonds from the trunk highway fund.The governor has proposed a$1.5 billion
package in capital repairs and improvements.
House Republicans late last week came forward with a previously undisclosed proposal to borrow up to$100 million from the state's
Environmental Trust Fund funded with lottery rather than seeking out lower-cost general obligation bonds to fund improvements to
failing wastewater treatment plants.The list of WWTF needs has reached$4.99 billion,based on a 2017 study. Under current state
statute based on a voter-approved ballot measure,the constitutionally protected trust fund cannot be used for municipal
wastewater treatment needs. If enacted,the higher-cost bonds borrowed from the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota
Resources(LCCMR)account would likely face a court challenge by environmentalists.

GreenCorps recruiting
Applications are now being accepted by the MPCA for Minnesota GreenCorps members through AmeriCorps. Members serve with
local governments, nonprofit organizations,and educational institutions statewide.Members serve 40 hours a week for 11 months,
from late September 2018 through late August 2019.Applications for 2018-19 projects will be accepted until June 18. Member-city
Warren is among the current GreenCorps project hosts.Benchmark energy use of all public buildings in Warren has led to cost-
saving opportunities from a planned citywide thermal imaging program using drones,and public outreach efforts.
See: https://www.oca.state.mn.us/waste/minnesota-areencorps
Drones shared jurisdiction
At the federal level,Mary McComber is representing the interests of small cities on the National League of Cities(NCL)
Transportation&Infrastructure Services Federal Advocacy Committee.The group has been kept especially busy with emerging
technology jurisdictional challenges such as driverless vehicles on the streets and drones in the air.
The committee has adopted a drone operations policy that calls on Congress and the FAA not to preempt the authority of local
governments to create and enforce regulations with regard to the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems as it relates to land use,
zoning,privacy trespass,and law enforcement operations. In a recent letter to Congress,the committee expressed support for an
amendment forwarded by Rep.Jason Lewis(R-Minnesota)to codify DOT's Integration Pilot Program for balancing the appropriate
roles of federal,state,and local governments regarding low-altitude drone operations.
MAOSC annual meeting
In conjunction with LMC annual conference in St.Cloud,the MAOSC annual meeting Is set for Wednesday,June 20,2:30-3:30 pm.
The MAOSC Executive Committee will be meeting immediately prior,from 2-2:30 pm.Meeting room location is yet to be
determined,and will be announced as soon as possible.As always,representatives of member cities are encouraged to attend.
