In accordance with this provision, the Department of Taxation has received from the Secretary of State's Office, an official copy of the 1970 Federal Census along with various administrative corrections, certified by the Federal Census Bureau which they have instructed us to make to those original population figures. Based upon the above procedure, each metropolitan county's population total, as well as each city, village township, and borough's population within the county was obtained and is listed on the attached table. Please review your county, city, village, township or borough's population as reported and let us know immediately if you disagree with it.

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55414 Phone: Area 612;373 -9992 To All Mayors and Managers or Clerks Enclosed are sumi.laries of two portions of the proposed tax bill which will have a direct effect upon municipal government, (1) the proposed levy limitations, and (2) the proposed local government aid. fund. One feature of the levy limit portion requires that all municipal budgets will have to be re- certified by December 15, 1971 in order that the limitations be implemented. immediately. The tax bill has not yet passed, nor is it possible to say when it will be passed, but the League felt that all municipalities should. be advised of the contents of the proposed bill in order to determine its possible consequences. Please contact the League office if you have questions. After you have studied these summaries you may wish to discuss the impact they will have in your community with your legislators. While continuing to oppose the limitations on the taxing authority of municipalities included in this bill, the Executive Committee of the League believes this bill is a great improvement when compared with the one vetoed by Governor Anderson.

M M L E A G U E O F MINNESOTA MUNICIPALITIES 3300 University Avenue S.E. Proposed Levy Limitations Minneapolis, Minnesota 55414 Phone: 1Re A26RAy tax levy limit provisions of the bill are structured and determined as follows. First the limits will not apply to "special levies" which are property taxes levied to: 1) satisfy judgments except those arising out of actions on an explicit contract. 2) pay the costs of complying with any lawful order issued by the State of Minnesota, the United States, or any agency or subdivisicn, or any law enacted by the 1971 legislature which specifically requires an activity which results in increased expenditures. 3) pay amounts required by any public pension plan to the extent that laws enacted before July 1, 1971, governing the fund causes the level of governmental support to exceed the level of support prior to July 1, 1971; provided that such increases are not the result of benefit improvements occurring after July 1, 1971 (intended to apply to levies required under the Police and Firemen's Relief Association Guidelines Act of 1969). 4) pay amounts required to be levied by the Volunteer Firemen's Relief Association Guidelines Act of 1971 (Laws 1971, Ch. 261). 5) pay the local share where the state or federal government provides matching funds, but only to the extent the local share exceeds amounts expended for the program in calendar 1970. 6) pay expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in preparing for or repairing the effects of natural disasters. 7) pay the costs of principal and interest on bonded indebtedness. 8) pay the costs not reimbursed by the state or federal government of payments for aid to the disabled; old age assistance; aid to the blind; aid to families with dependent children; medical assistance; and poor relief. In addition, the levy limit does not apply to special assessments. To determine your 1971 levy limit begin with`the total of all property taxes, before any reductions for "homestead purposes, levied in calendar 1970 but excluding special assessments and the special levies enumerated above. To this total you add the amount of exempt property reimbursements estimated by the Tax Department to be payable to your municipality in 1971 and the amount of sales tax per capita aid estimated by the Tax Department to be payable to you in 1971. 2 - This total, i.e. property taxes, plus exempt property reimbursement and sales tax per capita aid is then divided by your 1970 population, and the resulting figure is your per capita levy limit for 1971. This per capita limit may be increased by not to exceed 6% over the previous year's limit. The population of a community is that established by the last state or federal census, or by a special census, (taken pursuant to authority provided in the bill or pursuant to existing law) or by a population estimate made by the State Health Department, the Metropolitan Council, by a Regional Development Commission, by an order of the Minnesota Municipal Commission, or by a resolution of the governing body of the municipality (discussed in more detail below), whichever is the most recent. Under the terms of the bill a municipality may establish a new population in any year by requesting the Secretary of State to conduct a census which he must do upon receipt of a resolution from the governing body. In lieu of the foregoing, the governing body may by resolution establish a population for the municipality. A copy of the resolution must be sent to the Vital Statistics Section of the State Health Department which must within 30 days determine the validity of the estimate. If it determines the estimate to be invalid, the resolution is of no force and effect. If the estimate is held to be valid, the resolution must then be published at least once in a legal newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. If within 30 days thereafter, a petition signed by 10% of the registered voters (where registration exists) or, where there is no registration, 10% of those voting at the last municipal election, requesting a special census is filed with the municipality, the governing body must then request the Secretary of State to conduct a special census. If no such petition is filed, the estimate established in the resolution becomes the population of the municipality for the purposes of determining its property tax levy. In any event, population estimates established by such resolution would be superseded by any later state or federal census, or by population estimates made by the State Health Department, the Metro Council, or a Regional Development Commission. Having established a population figure for the year and an adjusted per capita property tax levy limit, you multiply the per capita limit by your 1971 population. (Of course, your 1971 population will be the same as your 1970 population unless you can establish a higher figure by any of the alternative methods specified in the bill, or a subsequent census or estimate demonstrates a decrease.) From the resulting figure you deduct the estimated amount of formula aids payable to you under the bill (and taconite production tax aids where applicable) in calendar 1972. The resulting amount is the total property taxes which you may levy in 1971 for all purposes, except the special levies and special assessments. The levy limit for 1972 and subsequent years is calculated in essentially the same manner. To the total of property taxes levied (excluding special levies and special assessments) in 1971 and subsequent years is added the total of the formula aids estimated to be payable to your municipality in 1972 and succeeding years, respectively, (and taconite production tax aids where applicable). This total is then divided by your 1971 or subsequent year's population, and the result is your revised levy limit. Again this limit may be increased by not to exceed 6% for the ensuing year, and new population figures may be established. 3 - If a municipality exceeds its per capita levy limit in 1971, distributions of state aids, other than the highway user tax, will be reduced by 10 cents for each dollar that the levy exceeds the limit. If in any year after 1971, a municipality exceeds its per capita limit, its state aids, other -than highway user taxes, will be reduced by 10 cents on each dollar that the levy exceeds the limit up to 5 %, and over 5 %, state aids will be reduced 33 cents on the dollar. To.the extent that any special or general law or charter provision authorizes levies in excess-of the limits prescribed in the bill, they would be superseded, but otherwise such limits are not affected by the bill. A sample levy for a hypothetical community for the years 1971 and 1972 is set forth in.Appendix A. Please note that the bill does require municipalities to review already made and certified for 1971 taxes to be collected in 1972 for the purposes of reducing levies to conform with the limits in the bill. 'Recertification of levies must be accomplished by December 15, 1971.

The proposed fund would provide increased non - property revenue sources to counties, municipalities and townships, there- by relieving some pressure on the property tax. The sales tax per capita pay- ments and the exempt property reimbursement currently made to local governments will be replaced by this proposed fund and each government now'sharing in those funds will receive at least as much as it did in.1971. The aid fund takes two forms, that is, one means of distribution for the non - metropolitan area and another for the metropolitan area. NON - METROPOLITAN AREA In 1972 the state will distribute from its general fund $25 per capita to each county in the non - metropolitan area and $27 in 1973. This sum of money will be shared in a particular way among all local governments within a county that have taxing powers with the exception of schools. No county will receive less than it did in 1971. Each county is allocated the same percentage of aid (i.e., exempt property re- placement funds) in 1972 and subsequent years as it received in 1971, but not less than it received in 1971. Non - school special districts (e.g., a watershed district) will receive a distribution in each of the next two years equal to that which they received in 1971. Municipalities and townships within each county will share the balance of the funds available to that county in the proportion that the dollar amount of levy in each city, village or township bears to the total dollar amount of the levies of all such local units. Moreover, all municipalities and townships are guaranteed to .receive at least as much as they did in 1971 from sales tax and exempt property reimbursement payments. In order to accomplish this within each county the distri- butions to those municipalities and townships which will receive more than they did in 1971 will be reduced. Chart 1 gives an example of how the formula is applied in a particular county. Metropolitan Area The new Local Government Aid Fund for the seven- county Twin Cities area is based on a somewhat different formula than the balance of the state. Per capita pay- ments to the entire area of $26 and $28 are made in 1972 and 1973 respectively. An additional $1 per capita payment is made in each year and will be discussed later.. Of the total fund of $26 and $28 per capita over the next two years, a deduction of 18.5 per cent is made in 1972 and 17.5 per cent in 1973 for the benefit of the seven counties in the metropolitan area. These counties share the proceeds on the basis of their proportional share of the 1971 dollar levy to the total seven - county 2 - dollar levy of that year. No county will receive less than it otherwise would have if the law were not changed. Non - school special districts will receive an amount equal to their 1971 receipts from exempt property reimbursement funds. After the county and non - school special district deductions are made, the share for Minneapolis and Saint Paul is determined. These two cities will receive the proportional share their bear to the total city, village, township levy in the seven - county area. The balance, after the above deductions are made, plus the additional $1 per capita also noted above, represents the total funds available to the suburban municipal- ities and townships in the Twin Cities area. This sum is to be shared on a straight per capita basis with approximately $13.29 to be paid to each city, village and township in the seven - county area (except for Minneapolis and Saint Paul) in 1972 and $14.33 in 1973. Each municipality will be informed by the State Tax Department of the amount of state aids which it will receive prior to re- certifying its mill levy on December 15, 1971.
