Dear Karen, At the BCWD meeting on Feb 13th,2019 it was generally expressed to the two City Council Members who attended this public meeting that the BCWD might be interested in receiving comments from the City highlighting specific concerns with the BCWD rules and/or processes. And, that such viewpoints were desired sooner-than-later.To respond,we offer the following: To date, the City has already provided a number of comments related to such rules and participated in various meetings that engaged the BCWD. We would offer that at this time FURTHER technical engagement of these rules might be pre-mature without an ability to compare and contrast alternatives and within a known framework.Therefore,we would offer to the BCWD that it might consider seeking an independent comparison study of its rules and processes with those of otherwatersheds and/orthe MIDS standards including the outcomes of such rules as these are applied. We would offer that such a study is absolutely best engaged by a separate and independent entity(i.e. not EOR) with the capacity and knowledge to evaluate watershed rules and make reasonable and rational comparisons with others. Further, such independent entity must be knowledgeable of the applicable laws as these relate to stormwater management as well as the legislative and legal landscape for such rule application within communities both in the urbanized/built environment as well as rural areas. There are several firms and experts in the metro area that can provide such an evaluation. Our City Engineering staff are happy to provide data or information to such a firm the BCWD may engage to complete such as study;but again,we would advocate for such review by an independent entity. Please let me know if you have any questions Thank you Eric 3 of 117 Owl City of Oak Dark Heights 14168 Oak Park Blvd.N.

St.Paul Park,MN 5507 f' Iso,via email willieT ennissanitation.corr *** FROM: Eric Johnson,City A mini RE: Rate Increase Requ —For The City has received your request for certain rate increases associated with the services contracted between your firm and the City. At this time the proposal from Tennis Is: 1. Tennis'most recent increase is seeking a 204%to its Appliance Fee rates per month per household--moving the costs from$.41 to$1.25. 2. Tennis is seeking an increase to the Disposal Fee moving upwards of 6.0%. 3. Tennis is also seeking a rate increase for EXTRA bags 1 Construction Items,moving from$1.50 per bag to$1.75 per bag AND from$13.00 per cubic yard to$15.50 per cubic yard.This is a 16.5%and 19.25%increase respectively. As I have discussed with your staff,the associated increase for Disposal Fees is built into the current Agreement(County rates)and Is not something the City may prohibit.Thus,such rate increase goes into effect as of 111119.And,as it relates to the other Increases to the Appliances Fees and Extra SagslYards,the City will permit a$.15 increase In the monthly Appliance Fee—effective 1M119 -moving the costs from$.41 to$.56 and will permit a$.25 increase in extra bag fees moving from$1.50 to$1.75.No other increases are approved nor permitted.The approved monthly rates are attached.Should there be any calculation errors,these will need to be adjusted. We appreciate the work Tennis Sanitation has supplied as we are sure you appreciate the fees the City has paid and our commitments to your firm- as the City pays an estimated$190,000 annually for such services and will likely approach over $1,000,000 during the initial term of the Agreement. Lastly, the current Agreement runs through 12/31/19 and allows m TERmo>rcoNlvAcr the City to extend such Agreement for up to three (3)additional Thc�� _ �_� years,see the excerpt->.At this time we are unsure if the Ci will ,,,d pelad efiva(3)you co=a,cNr=W1Y 1,2015 City nodma cm Dm®bcr 11,2019. 7ha City lz ize option zztay tdmd the Um or d�o exercise such an extension, but we will let you know prior to cmwfDrena*dartimanotpoc=mditm(3)YmvbaPwditwip4Wte=!md® d sirll a miu�aotire m cam of itr igcw m=ftw this CMMA It October 1� 2019.That said,at this time it appears that the City is + 9( nda•Ysr msltats annrthe ltetm largely satisfied with etre sevices provdied and the current rate structures.

prepared this 2019 Assessment Report for use by the County Board, City Councils, Town Boards, residents, and staff. This report includes specific information regarding the 2019 assessment as well as general information about both the appeals and assessment process. Minnesota statutes establish specific requirements for the assessment of property. The law requires that all real property be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price as of the January 2nd assessment date. The estimated market values established through the 2019 assessment are based upon actual real estate market trends of Washington County properties from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018. From these trends, our mass appraisal system is used to determine individual property values. Detailed discussion of the sales analysis can be found in the "Sales Analysis" section of this report. The summaries breaking down the adjustments made in each community, by property use, can be found in the "Past and Present Adjustments" section of this report. Property owners who have questions or concerns regarding the market value that has been established for their property are encouraged to contact the property appraiser responsible for their area. In most cases, an interior inspection of the property will be necessary. For detailed discussion regarding the appeals period, please refer to the section of this report titled "Other assessment related information". Bruce Munneke, S.A.M.A. Washington County Assessor 31 Page 15 of 117 Sales Analysis Section Sales Analysis The assessment function is governed by Minnesota State statute. The law requires that all real property be valued at market value,which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price as of the assessment date of January 2nd of each year. Assessors are historians and measure the market based on sales which have occurred previous to the assessment date. Assessors do not create the value or predict what the market will do; rather, the assessor's job is to follow the patterns set by the real estate market. Information on the sales of real estate is of paramount importance to the assessors in a market-based property tax system. Sales information is required to be submitted electronically using the program developed by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. This program is known as the Electronic Certificate of Real Estate Value (eCRV). The Department of Revenue requires all county assessors to utilize a specified time period for sales analysis. This time period of 12 months is from October 1st to September 30th preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to determine the changes in assessed value that may be needed in each community for the impending assessment. For example, the sales that occurred between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018 are used to establish the January 2, 2019 assessed values. The assessor's office is charged with setting estimated market values for tax purposes at actual market value. The relationship between sales prices to estimated market value is called the sales ratio. The target median ratio set by the assessor's office for all Washington County communities (for all classes of property) is 95%. We make every effort to ensure that each municipality in Washington County meets this target as consistently as possible. In this way,we ensure an equitable distribution of the property tax burden for all Washington County taxpayers. Sales Statistics Defined In addition to the median ratio, we have the ability to measure other statistics to test the accuracy of the assessment. Some of these are used at the state level also. The primary statistics used are: Mt�E ian BNlati0: This is a measure of central tendency. The median of a sample is the value for which one-half(50%) of the observations (when stratified) will lie above that value and one-half will lie below that value. The median is not susceptible to extreme observations referred to as outliers. We use this ratio, much like the mean, not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze property values by municipality,type of dwelling and value range. These studies enable us to track market trends in neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property. Within the county, we constantly strive to achieve a ratio of 95.0%for the median and mean. This allows us a margin to account for a fluctuating market and still maintain ratios within state mandated guidelines. 41 Page 16 of 117 Arithmetic:; Mean Ratio: The mean is the average ratio. Unlike the median, the mean is influenced by outliers. We use this ratio not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze property values by municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These studies enable us to track market trends in neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property. Coefficient of Dispersion (COD): The COD measures the accuracy of the assessment. The COD indicates the spread of the ratios from the mean or median ratio. The goal of a good assessment is a COD of 10 to 20. A COD under 10 is considered excellent and anything over 20 will result in an assessment review by the Department of Revenue. The Price-Related Differential (PRD) The PRD is used to measure value related inequities in the assessment, referred to as regressively or progressivity.Appraised values are regressive if high value properties are under appraised relative to low value properties and progressive if high value properties are over appraised relative to the low value properties. The PRD is found by taking the mean (average) ratio of the sample and dividing by the weighted (aggregate) mean ratio. The acceptable range is .98 to 1.03. Arm's Length Transactions The Department of Revenue requires all county assessors to utilize a specified time period in their sales analysis. This time period is 12 months from October 1"to September 30th, preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to determine the changes in assessed value that may be needed in each community for the impending assessment. The sales that occur within this October 1"to September 30th time period, each year, are closely scrutinized by the appraisers within the Assessor Division. Evidence suggesting a forced sale, foreclosure, a sale to a relative, or anything other than an arm's-length transaction requires the sales to be discarded from the sales study. This is important, because the real estate sales information constitutes the database for the statistical comparisons necessary to make the property assessment. 51 Page 17 of 117 Total Number of Arm's Length Transactions An arm's length transaction is any transaction in which buyers and sellers of a product act independently and have no relationship to each other.The concept of an arm's length transaction is to ensure that both parties in the deal are acting in their own self-interest and are not subject to any pressure or duress from the other party. The following graphs and charts show the number of arm's length transactions that occurred within each sales period.

Short sales: Unique arrangements where the financial institution and in-default home owner work together in an attempt to sell the home before it is foreclosed upon. In both situations, lenders are highly motivated "sellers", which can result in discounted asking prices as they attempt to move the assets quickly from the balance sheets. Lender mediated sales are not used in the sales study.

Chapter 273). These requirements have not changed during the past year. The laws require the following: 1. All real property is to be valued at market value,which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price at the time of assessment. Special qualified exclusions such as the veterans' exclusion are subtracted from the market value to arrive at the taxable value. 2. Property is classified according to state law, and the tax capacity is calculated. 3. The tax capacity is multiplied by the tax rate (the total of county, school, city, and miscellaneous levies) to determine the amount of property tax. The annual property assessment focuses on the very first step of this process—establishing an estimated market value for each parcel of property. Market values are assessed locally by either a county-employed appraiser or a locally hired assessor. The work of both county and local assessors is monitored by the county assessor, whose work is in turn monitored by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The monitoring agency is authorized by law to adjust the property assessment to help ensure county-wide and state-wide equalization of property assessments. The county assessor has established the standard that all Washington County communities,with at least six (6) sales in their sales study, reach a 95.0 percent target ratio, of actual market values to time adjusted sales prices. At times, local assessments have been adjusted by the county assessor or the State of Minnesota to meet this standard. State law also requires that each individual property be reviewed by the assessor at least once every five years. Each community has a rotating appraisal schedule to ensure that this requirement is met. 411 Page 53 of 117 What is market value? Minnesota Statue 273.03 defines market value as "... the usual selling price at the time of assessment." The Assessor's Office works throughout the year to estimate market values of each property for the following January 2 assessment date. How is market value determined? View Property: Approximately every fifth year, an appraiser working under the supervision of the County Assessor will view the property. Any property that had a building permit issued in a given year is viewed and the new value calculated as of January 2nd following the construction. Gather Information: The appraiser gathers information on all characteristics of the property that affect market value, such as size, age, quality, basement finish, and extra features, such as fireplaces, walk-out basements, et cetera. Compute Value: The characteristics are entered into a computerized system. Information on actual market sales are used to establish the building and component rates used to calculate the property's value. The market value estimated by the appraiser in this way should be very close to the amount the property would sell for, if placed on the open market. Why may market values change from year to year? Property values change continuously depending on the economic conditions affecting the local housing market. In addition to market changes, physical changes made to a property can also affect its market value. All factors are considered in estimating the value of property. 421 Page 54 of 117 Appeals Process: What are the options? The property owner will review the Valuation Notice that they receive in mid to late March each year. If a property owner has concerns regarding the valuation or classification placed on their property they are encouraged to contact the Assessor's Office at the number listed on their valuation notice. Both the three step and one step appeal process are summarized on the following chart. First Contact the County Assessor's Office or your Local Assessor 651-430-6175 • Discuss your concerns with the assessor or an appraiser • Compare values of neighboring or similar properties • Review local comparable sales information • If you and your assessor or the County staff do not agree, continue below: a Appeal to your Local Board of Appeal& Equalization (LBAE)or attend one of four regional Open Q Book meetings(meeting times& locations are listed on your valuation notice) • Appeal in person, by letter,or by designated representative • If your appeal is not addressed to your satisfaction,or you and the County staff a p cannot agree to a change in valuation or classification,continue to the next t step 3 O U X 16 H O Appeal to the Washington County Board of Appeal& Equalization (CBAE) • You must have first appealed to your LBAE (unless your property is in an Open Book community) Check your valuation notice to verify a • The CBAE meets in June-Call the Assessor's Office at 651-430-6175 by May 8, 2019 to make an appointment • If you still do not feel your concerns have been addressed to your satisfaction, you may next appeal to the Minnesota Tax Court Appeal in the Minnesota Tax Court • Appeals may be filed up until April 301h of the year when the taxes are due • The Tax Court can be contacted at 651-539-3260 for more information on procedures,forms,and filing fees Regular Division Small Claims Division • Can be used for any property • All homestead property type 0 1 unit/parcel/petition • Must be used for property • Homestead classifications assessed >$300,000 • Assessed<$300,000 • Can be appealed to the Supreme • All decisions are final Court 43Page 55 of 117 In Minnesota, property tax laws provide the legal parameters that govern the work of assessors. These statutes lay down a cycle of assessment activities that are conducted on an annual basis. Each year, assessors are required to work on a number of tasks that include: listing, valuing, and classifying all taxable properties; processing both real and personal property transfers; analyzing market data; monitoring assessment levels for several different classes of property; and arranging and conducting an appeals process. The latter of these activities is a key part of the assessment cycle that provides property owners with an opportunity to review and, if necessary, challenge their estimate of market value and/or classification that will be used for taxation purposes in the following year. At sv .at point int the assessment cycle does the 4 ppean process begair,? The appeals process begins in March and extends through June. When property owners receive their tax statements and assessment notices during the month of March, they should read them carefully for instructions about deadlines, filing procedures, meeting dates and times. If they are not clear, they should call the assessor's office for clarification and additional information because a missed deadline, an incorrect filing, or the failure to attend a scheduled meeting can cause an appeal to be dismissed. There are two avenues of appeal that property owners may take to challenge their assessments. The first route is referred to as the three-step appeal and the second is known as the one-step appeal. These steps are illustrated in the flow chart on page 43 of this report. How should property owners begin their appeal? Property owners are encouraged to contact their appraiser to discuss their property assessment concerns. An informal meeting can be scheduled to review the property, examine market data, answer questions, and clarify the valuation and classification practices used. This discussion can also be handled by telephone, mail, or e-mail during regular business hours. 441 Page 56 of 117 Assessment Calendar 2019 January 2 2019 Market values established February 1 Last day to deliver assessment records to County Assessor March 31 Statutory deadline for mailing 2019 Valuation Notices April 8-May 7 Local Boards of Appeal & Equalization & Regional Open Book meetings held April 30 Last day to file a Tax Court Petition for taxes payable in 2019 May 15 First half payable 2019 taxes due May 8 Deadline for property owners to notify County Assessor of intent to appeal at County Board of Appeal & Equalization June 18 County Board of Appeal & Equalization Meeting 5 p.m. July 1 2019 Assessment finalized August 31 First half payable 2019 taxes due for manufactured homes October 15 Second half payable 2019 taxes due November 15 Second half payable 2019 taxes due for agricultural property and manufactured homes November Mailing of payable 2020 Proposed Property Tax Notices December 15 Last day to file a Homestead Application for payable 2020 2020 January 2 2020 Market values established 451 Page 57 of 117 tCro1X CROSSING!

Wetland impacts have been mitigated for with the regulating agencies. MnDNR has requested approval from Union Pacific and others to construct. D)"Completion of loop trail system... "—Majority of loop trail has now been constructed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. The upper loop trail in Minnesota was constructed in 2018,with connections made to the lower loop trail. A parking lot in Minnesota was also constructed in 2018 along TH95. Parking for loop trail users in Minnesota is also being accommodated along the Treatment Plant Access road,just north of the new bridge. The Wisconsin loop trail was constructed in 2018 between the Lift Bridge and the new County Road E interchange. Trail heads with parking lots in Wisconsin were also constructed in 2018. Interpretive panels along the loop trail provide information on the adjacent area. See attached loop trail progress map, dated 2-1-19. Page 2 of 26 59 of 117 a. Minor loop trail work will be completed in the spring of 2019 in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. In Minnesota,the contractor will be establishing the turf along the upper trail. In Wisconsin,the contractor will be installing all pedestrian railing as well as signing and striping from the lift bridge to the hilltop parking lot. b. Work on converting the Lift Bridge to bike/ped/boat use will continue until June 2019,when the Loop Trail will finally be complete and fully open to the public.

During 2018 the old highway corridors, including STH 35, STH 64, and CTH E were rehabilitated to now accommodate the local traffic. The pavement surface width was reduced in several places to allow for construction of the new loop trail or to minimize future maintenance by the Town of St. Joseph. The asphalt was milled and new asphalt pavement placed prior to transfer of the facilities. The transfer of the local roadways was completed in 2018,there is no additional work on the local roadways in 2019. b. During 2018, Mattison contractors continued construction of the loop trail, the trail parking areas, as well as the park and ride site, including asphalt pavement, concrete walk,landscaping with trees, shrubs, and native prairie grasses,trail signing and trail marking. WisDOT continued to work with the County to accommodate additional features to the loop trail and trailheads in order to enhance it's future use. Mattison contractors installed all of the trails, a picnic shelter,pads for benches and bike racks, and landscaping features. The County efforts included construction of a restroom facility with a septic system. The County will continue efforts in 2019 to finish the restroom and install all of the picnic tables,benches, and garbage facilities. Final construction activities to be completed in the spring of 2019 include the pedestrian safety railing along the old STH 64 corridor,trail marking and signing, and final landscaping installations. ii s , Mitigation Item: Removal of the residential home and warehouse in Kolliner/Tourist Park.

Small cities such as ours do not consistently receive any assistance for any road maintenance of improvements without fiends that come from the Small Cities Assistance Account. This year we have maintenance of$251,000. While the$31,721 from Small Cities Assistance will certainly help, the remainder falls burden to our taxpayers. Similarly,in 2023,road improvements of$1,400,000 are slated for a road that would otherwise fall under MSA,will fall to the taxpayers. Many of you are aware of the construction of the St. Croix Crossing which spans from Oak Park Heights to the Town of St.Joseph, Wisconsin. That was a multi-million-dollar project of which our city had a substantial cost share. Many Trunk Highway,County and other infrastructure projects take a heavy toll on our residents of small cities. Oak Park Heights does not receive any Local Government Aid that some other small cities receive that could help offset costs for our city. Many think of Oak Park Heights as a small city of 4,600, but actually grows to about 30,000 each day due to increased traffic from TH 36, the Stillwater Area High School, Oak Park Heights Prison, commercial visitors, and the beyond forecasted traffic that passes to and from Wisconsin. While this program is appreciated,it is,however, inconsistent in its fielding and not something that our City can rely upon to budget and plan for major roadway projects over the long term. We respectfully request your consideration of a dedicated funding source to small communities that would not be subject to regular legislative re-approvals.These funds could be better anticipated and budgeted locally for project planning.Moreover,if such amounts could be increased in any way,it would be most beneficial and reduce the local tax burden more equitably when compared to larger cities that do receive Municipal Road Aids for their projects. We would be happy to provide further information as to the benefits of the funding discussed above as well as share any other information we may have. r erely, v o ary cComber Cc: Governor Tim Walz Sen.Karin Housley—Dist.39 Rep.

February Budget Forecast Released State officials from the Office of Minnesota Management and Budget(MMB)released the state's February Forecast on Thursday.As was anticipated,the General Fund forecast shows a decline in state revenues from FY 2019-2023.This change,due to slower projected growth in the economy,results in a projected FY 2020-21 General Fund budget surplus of$1.05 billion,down$492 million from the$1.5 billion surplus projected in November.The forecast predicts revenue reductions going forward,mostly from individual income taxes.Lower spending of$92 million is also predicted that will slightly offset the anticipated decline in revenues.State officials attributed the surplus decline to slower economic growth that is predicted going forward,and stated that projected spending will outpace forecasted revenues into FY 2022-23. The budget documents can be viewed HERE.

While the Governor did not propose a stand-alone appropriation for the redevelopment grant program, his budget supports extending DEED's authority to transfer up to$2 million in Minnesota Investment Fund(MIF)funds to the redevelopment grant program that can also be used for demolition loans.This transfer authority was used in the August 2018 and February 2019 grant rounds.Metro Cities is supporting a bill that would fund the redevelopment account with a$12 million appropriation for the biennium. The Governor's budget does not increase funding for MIF or the Job Creation Fund,scheduled to receive$25 million and$16 million respectively,in FY20-21.Metro Cities supports$42 million between the two programs in the next budget,the same funding level as in FY18-19.Walz also supports modifying the local MIF loan funds with expanded scope for use.A bill irrtroduced this week would extend the ability granted cities previously to use local MIF dollars for any lawful use by paying a twenty percent penalty to the state. Commissioner Grove also highlighted a continuation of DEED's previous equity work,called Closing the Opportunity Gap In the budget proposal.Governor Walz calls for$24.8 million in FY20-21 using general fund dollars as well as dollars in the workforce development fund.Walz also supports$1 million in grants to support the Infrastructure of small nonprofit organizations that have historically supported underserved cultural communities.

Transportation field hearings The Minnesota House Transportation Finance and Policy Division heard testimony from three strong Small Cities advocates on Feb.22 at a St.Cloud field hearing.MAOSC Communications and State Policy Outreach director Jaynes Robins was joined by MAOSC Vice President Tim Burkhardt who serves on the Hinckley city council,and St.Martin City Council member Randy Olmscheid.We greatly appreciate the time and effort members have put in preparing testimony and submissions. The House committee division,chaired by Rep.Frank Hornstein(DFL-Minneapolis),has scheduled one remaining greater Minnesota and two Twin Cities area field hearings where public testimony will be taken: • Tuesday,Feb.26 at 6-8:30 p.m.-North High School, 1500 James Ave.N.,Minneapolis. • Friday,March 1 at 9 a.m.-12 noon-Blalne City Hall,10801 Town Square Drive NE. • Friday,March 8 at 12 noon-3 p.m.,Mankato City Ball,10 Civic Center Plaza. For officials from our member cities who would like to testify or submit testimony,please contact James Robins by calling or texting him at 612-597-0214,or via email at"nr .JamesRobins.corr. He can help with your preparation,and is working with committee staff to provide for MAOSC member participation. The MAOSC testifiers spoke generally in support of proposed legislation that would supplement Streets funding in small cities by providing$10 million yearly to the Small Cities Assistance program,and another bill providing$50 million in bond proceeds to establish and fund a new Local Cost Share Assistance account.MAOSC Board member Jonathan Smith who is city manager for Perham met briefly with legislators just prior to the hearing,and submitted his testimony.Several nearby communities also submitted testimony. Tim Burkhardt noted that limited Streets Assistance last year totaling$18,500 for Hinckley went for patching a lot of potholes, but came nowhere close to paying for the costs of street maintenance. Randy Olmscheid pointed out that one estimate for rebuilding a half-mile of St.Martin's eight miles of streets came to more than$900,000.What the state provided Ist year does not even cover the cost of patching and crack filling.Jon Smith submitted testimony indicating regional impact of Perham's 22 miles of city streets,seeing roughly 800 semi-trucks in town each day,and bringing in$350 million worth of agricultural commodities annually.James Robins testified that more than$225 million yearly is spent on Minnesota streets located in small cities—population 5,000 and under,yet Gov.Walz has not proposed transportation funding directed to the small cities. MAOSC will unveil its long-term MainStreets stable funding plan with a bill introduction coming soon. 100 of 117 water bond conversion support The MAOSC Board has passed a resolution of support for converting 2018 appropriation bonds for water infrastructure and other projects in the current legislative session.The resolution states: "MAOSC supports legislation authorizing the conversion of 2018 Appropriation Bonds for city water improvements and other capital projects to lower-cost General Obligation Bonds that will save state taxpayers an estimated$35 million and expedite construction of the planned infrastructure." Converting the bonds is the only way now to avoid further lengthy delays in getting these critical infrastructure projects started due to the court case filed by various environmental,conservation and outdoors sporting groups. Minnesota Management and Budget(MMB)estimates that the special appropriation bonds,if allowed to be let,will cost the state an additional$35 million in borrowing costs over 20 years compared to conventional,AAA-rated GO bonds.State Wastewater Infrastructure needs are estimated at$4.99 billion over the next 20 years. Key bill introductions Major 2019 bill introductions of interest to Small Cities are regularly posted as part of our weekly Legislative Update. Legislation of interest to MAOSC member cities introduced recently includes: HF 1.

SF 1634 Howe:Extends the definition of"public official"to cities 5,000 and under,and counties 7,500 and under. Housing incentive tax credits support The MAOSC Board passed a resolution Feb.21 to support creation of a Housing Tax Contribution Fund similar to an economic development tool used in North Dakota since 2011,and benefitting numerous communities with populations 5,000 and under, as well as larger cities.The resolution states:"MAOSC supports the establishment of a Housing Tax Contribution Fund to provide essential housing by fostering private investment in public-private partnership,and promote community enhancement through this targeted economic development incentive tool." In North Dakota,this tool has leveraged creation of more than 2,500 housing units by leveraging nearly$5 for every$1 invested. authored by Sen.Carla Nelson(R-Rochester)and authored by Rep. Brad Tabke(DFL-Shakopee)allows taxpayers with state income,corporate or insurance premium tax liabilities to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against their state tax liability if they contribute to a state fund geared toward developing or rehabilitating affordable housing.As proposed,the tax credit plan would limit contributions to the new fund to$25 million annual in aggregate. Taking the lead on the proposal is the Minnesota Housing Partnership(MHP),with support from more than 60 economic development groups,other housing organizations,builders and bankers. MAOSC Gold Sponsor Springsted Incorporated (currently transitioning to the merged firm under the Baker Tilly banner)is among the businesses supporting the proposal. h ; www.mh online.or ima es st ries d cs olic state 2019 MN-Tax-Cre i- ntribution-Fund-for-Affordable-H usin . df House 11B special election Filings for the state House 11B special election are complete,and a familiar face for MAOSC members is among the candidates. MAOSC Vice President Tim Burkhardt of member-city Hinckley is the lone DFL candidate on the ballot.Two Republicans,semi- retired teacher Ayrlahn Johnson of Mora and farmer Nathan Nelson of Hinckley,will compete in the March 5 primary to determine who faces Burkhardt in the March 19 special election held in portions of Pine and Kanabec counties.

"Too often our representatives in St.Paul speak with passion on issues but don't end up finding solutions to the problems we face in Greater Minnesota.

In addition to funding existing programs, the deal provided $1.375 billion to construct approximately 55 miles of new barriers along the U.S. southern border with Mexico. That amount is less than the $5.7 billion sought by the Administration before the partial i 107 of 117 government shutdown. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the 35-day partial government shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion. The legislation to enact the deal passed with large bipartisan support by a vote of 300-128 in the House and 83-16 in the Senate. It provided funding for seven appropriations bills including Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies; Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Financial Services and General Government; Homeland Security; Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies; State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies. NLC Executive Director Clarence E. Anthony made the following statement before the deal to avert another shutdown was reached: "Our federal leaders must end the political brinksmanship that brings our nation yet again to the cliff of yet another federal shutdown. America's cities, towns and villages call on our federal leaders to pursue every measure to avert another shutdown and spare our communities unnecessary economic pain. "The last shutdown cost our economy $11 billion — a loss that will almost certainly result in local leaders needing trim budgets and make hard choices about services their cities can provide. It's time to move forward and focus on our shared priorities that will benefit the nation, such as rebuilding and reimagining the nation's infrastructure."

White House Announces New American Broadband Initiative Angelina Panettied. 202.626.3996 The White House, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) recently announced the American Broadband Initiative, a coordinated federal z 108 of 117 interagency strategy to increase broadband access. The report's recommendations fall into three major categories: streamlining federal permitting processes for broadband infrastructure, using federal property to lower the cost of broadband deployment, and maximizing the effectiveness of federal broadband funds. The report and proposals are primarily focused on federal lands and rural areas, as the communities with the least access to broadband are largely in rural places, many of which are located in and around the approximately 30% of American lands owned by the federal government. However, the report does not include specific recommendations to improve affordability or adoption, especially in urban areas. The report announces plans to develop a standard interagency application form and "one-stop-shop" for broadband development on federal lands, regardless of jurisdiction. The report also provides updates on an ongoing interagency effort to identify, map, and make available federal assets that could be used for broadband, such as existing federally-owned telecommunications towers and dark fiber. Many of the report's highlighted federal efforts and proposals could impact local governments, either through changes in private investment and data management or through the availability of funds to public projects. NTIA plans to provide improved and updated information on all federal funds that can be used for broadband projects in a single website and to provide more opportunities for projects to better coordinate multiple federal funding streams. It has also committed to improving mapping data about broadband availability, which has been repeatedly criticized for its inaccuracies and lack of detail. The report also acknowledges the lack of coordination between federal and state broadband programs and the need for more intergovernmental collaboration to ensure that public investments are maximized. Several agencies are expected to initiate rulemakings during 2019 to fulfill the goals of the American Broadband Initiative. For a proposed timeline of federal actions and to review the recommendations and agency updates in more detail, read the full report. 3 109 of 117 NLC Hosts Hill Briefing on Local Innovations in Workforce Development Stephanie Martinez-Ruckman, 202.626.3098 On February 14, the National League of Cities (NLC) hosted a briefing on Capitol Hill, Love Your Workforce: Local Innovations in Workforce Development, which called attention to the innovative workforce development programs and services being provided at the local level. Local leaders across the country are working closely with their local workforce boards, community colleges, universities and local service providers to ensure that their residents are trained and prepared to meet the growing needs of employers. To provide the city perspective, Councilmember Robin Arredondo-Savage of Tempe, Arizona, and NLC's Human Development Federal Advocacy Committee Chair discussed the ways in which Tempe is building their workforce pipeline. From their Career Ready Tempe program, which strategizes about how to connect youth to the workforce conversation, and Tempe Works, which engages the local homeless population, Tempe has successfully developed a locally- focused workforce strategy. a 110 of 117 A �r I Councilmember Arredondo-Savage was joined by Mayor Christopher Cabaldon of West Sacramento, California and The U.S. Conference of Mayors Jobs, Education and the Workforce Standing Committee Chair, Mayor Acquanetta Warren of Fontana, California and The U.S. Conference of Mayors Manufacturing and Career and Technical Education Task Force Chair, Supervisor Pamela E. Lancaster of Hall County, Nebraska and National Association of Counties Community, Economic and Workforce Development Steering Committee — Workforce Subcommittee Chair, Kirkland J. Murray, President & CEO, Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation, and David Remick, Executive Director, Alexandria/Arlington Regional Workforce Council. The briefing came at a critical time as Congress begins to discuss the reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (W10A) and a comprehensive investment in infrastructure. These two federal investments have significant local implications, and it is critical that leaders in Washington, D.C. understand the importance of a strategic investment. Councilmember Arredondo-Savage highlighted what local leaders know: in order to attract businesses and grow economic vitality in communities it takes a skilled 5 111 of 117 workforce. The panelists highlighted the critical need to think about workforce as Congress considers a federal investment in infrastructure. Cities, towns and villages cannot rebuild and reimagine without a simultaneous investment in workforce services to ensure that they can continue to meet the needs of the sectors that will build and maintain our roads, bridges, water infrastructure and broadband networks into the future. SCOTUS to Hear Citizenship Question Case Brian Egan, 202.626.3107 In January, the Southern District of New York ruled that the Administration's process to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census questionnaire violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which prohibits federal agencies from acting in a manner that is arbitrary and capricious or not in accordance with law. The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has agreed to hear the Administration's appeal before the end of June, when the U.S. Census Bureau must start printing mailers for next year. Earlier this year, NLC joined a large group of bipartisan voices, including state and local governments, to express concerns about the way in which the question was added and its expected impacts on census participation. Many believe that the addition of the question will result in fewer people self-reporting, increasing the need for costly non-response follow-up (NRFU) and, ultimately, resulting in lower quality counts for our cities, towns and villages. Cities rely on accurate census counts for a host of applications, including allocation of political representation, infrastructure planning, socioeconomic research, and distribution of state and federal funds. Given the presence of two new justices, it is difficult to predict how the case will ultimately fare. The first ruling, however, documented a strong case against the question's addition. To learn more about the court's ruling visit NLC's blog, CidesSpeak. In addition, local leaders can access NLC's guide, Cities Count: Preparing for the 2020 Census, to learn more about our work on the Census. SLLC SCOTUS Midterm Webinar Ashley Smith, 202.626.3094 6 112 of 117 This term, many U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions have major implications for state and local governments. This term's docket is now set, and it includes a case involving a religious display on public lands, partisan gerrymandering, and another employment case, following an employment case previously decided this term - notably, both involve local governments. Additionally, SCOTUS will decide a gun case next term. Join Colleen Roh Sinzdak; Hogan Lovells, who will discuss three cases she and others in her firm have worked on this term; Richard A. Simpson; Wiley Rein, LLP, who co-wrote the State Local Legal Center (SLLC) amicus brief in an alcohol regulation case; and Brian Cardile, an editor and producer at the Daily Journal.
