RE: 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID NOTICE
The 1986 Legislature changed the formula for determining local government aid
for cities. The amount of your city's 1987 local government aid under the new
formula has been determined and is shown on the enclosed notice. The first
of the two installments of this aid will be paid on July 15, 1987. The enclosed
notice also lists the factors that pertain to your city which were used in
determining your city's local government aid. The following is an explanation
of these factors:
1. PAYABLE 1984 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: This is the total property tax levy for
your city reported on your county auditor's Abstract of Tax Lists for the
taxes payable year 1984. For all but two cities located within the seven
county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott
and Washington Counties), this amount includes the 1984 fiscal disparities
distribution levy.
2. PAYABLE 1985 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is for payable
1985.
3. PAYABLE 1986 PROPERTY TAX LEVY: Same as line 1, except that it is for payable
1986.
4. 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1984.
5. 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1985.
6. 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government aid that
your city was certified to receive in 1986.
7. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID: If your city qualified to receive attached
machinery aid in 1983, this is the amount of your city's attached machinery
aid for that year.
8. 1983 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1983 population estimate determined
by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1982 population estimate determined
by the State Demographer's Office.

C �
9. 1983 ATTACHED MACHINERY AID PER CAPITA: This is the amount determined by
dividing your city's 1983 attached machinery aid (if any) by your city's
1983 population estimate.
10. ATTACHED MACHINERY AID ADJUSTMENT: If your city's 1983 attached machinery
aid per capita is greater than $70, this adjustment is equal to the amount
of your city's 1983 attached machinery aid. If your city's 1983 attached
machinery aid is equal to or less than $70, there is no adjustment.
11. ADJUSTED 1984 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's 1984
local government aid from line 4 minus your city's attached machinery aid
adjustment (if any) from line 10.
12. ADJUSTED 1985 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of your city's 1985
local government aid from line 5 minus your city's attached machinery aid
adjustment (if any) from line 10.
13. 1984 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1984 property
tax levy from line 1 and your city's adjusted 1984 local government aid
from line 11.
14. 1985 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1985 property
tax levy from line 2 and your city's adjusted 1985 local government aid
from line 12.
15. 1986 FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's payable 1986 property
tax levy from line 3 and your city's 1986 local government aid from line
6.
16. THREE YEAR SUM OF FISCAL NEED: This is the sum of your city's 1984, 1985
and 1986 fiscal need.
17. PRELIMINARY 1987 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's 3 year sum of
fiscal need divided by the number 3. It represents an average fiscal need
for the three years.
18. 25% OF 1982 WATER WELL BONDS: For an applicable city, this is 25% of the
principal amount of bonds issued in 1982 to pay for the construction or
reconstruction of water wells which replaced a municipal water supply found
to be an environmental health hazard by the State Department of Health.
19. FINAL 1987 FISCAL NEED FACTOR: This is your city's preliminary 1987 fiscal
need factor from line 17 plus the adjustment for water well bonds if any,
from line 18.
20. 1986 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the 1986 population estimate determined by the
Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the metropolitan
area, this is the 1985 population estimate determined by the State
Demographer's Office.
21. FISCAL NEED PER CAPITA: This is your city's final 1987 fiscal need factor
from line 19 divided by your city's 1986 population estimate from line
20.

22. LOCAL EFFORT MILL RATE: This is a variable amount depending on your city's
fiscal need per capita. If your city's fiscal need per capita is $350
or less, the local effort mill rate is equal to the fiscal need per capita
divided by $17 per capita per mill. If your city's fiscal need per capita
exceeds $350, the local effort mill rate is equal to 20.588 mills ($350/$17)
plus the portion of your city's fiscal need per capita over $350 divided
by $15 per capita per mill. The minimum local effort mill rate is 8.000
mills.
23. 1985 ADJUSTED ASSESSED VALUE: This is your city's taxable value for
assessment year 1985 after adjustment for the assessor's level of assessment.
The assessor's level of assessment is determined by the Property Equalization
Division of the Department of Revenue.
24. 1987 FISCAL CAPACITY: This is your city's 1985 adjusted assessed value
from line 23 multiplied by your city's local effort mill rate from line
22.
25. 1987 PRELIMINARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is your city's final 1987 fiscal
need factor from line 19 minus your city's fiscal capacity. If the fiscal
capacity amount is greater than the fiscal need factor, your city's
preliminary aid is zero.
26. ADJUSTED 1987 PRELIMINARY AID: This is the greater of your city's 1986
local government aid from line 6 or your city's 1987 preliminary local
government aid from line 25.
27. FINAL ADJUSTED 1987 PRELIMINARY AID: For most cities, this is the same
as line 26. However, if your city qualified for the attached machinery
aid adjustment on line 10, this amount include's your city's attached
machinery aid adjustment.
28. 1987 AID INCREASE: This is your city's final adjusted 1987 preliminary
aid from line 27 minus your city's 1986 local government aid from line
6. If there is no increase, this amount is zero.
29. AID INCREASE ADJUSTED FOR APPROPRIATION LIMIT: The 1986 Legislature imposed
a limit of $297,440,000 on the amount of local government aid that could
be distributed to cities in 1987. Since the sum of the 1986 local government
aid determined for cities amounted to $285,822,923 and since a city's minimum
aid for 1987 is its 1986 local government aid, there is $11,617,077 of
aid increase available to the cities for 1987. The total calculated aid
increase for cities under the formula is $149,941,023. Part of this amount
is reduced by the maximum aid limitations that follow this step. It was
found that if the total aid increase at this step was reduced to $14,883,852
the total local government aid for cities after application of the maximum
limits would be reduced to the appropriation limitation. Therefore, every
city that had an aid increase for 1987 had its increase reduced to 9.92647%
($14,883,852 = $149,941,023) of the calculated amount in order to stay
within the appropriation limitation.
30. 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID AFTER APPROPRIATION LIMIT: This is the sum of
your city's 1986 local government aid from line 6 and your city's adjusted
aid increase from line 29.

31. 1985 POPULATION ESTIMATE: If your city is located within the seven county
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1985 population estimate determined
by the Metropolitan Council. If your city is located outside of the
metropolitan area, this is the April 1, 1984 population estimate determined
by the State Demographer's Office.
32. 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID PER CAPITA: This is the 1986 local government
aid from line 6 divided by your city's 1985 population estimate from line
31.
33. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO $200.00:
If your city's 1986 local government aid per capita is at least $200, your
city's maximum local government aid for 1987 is equal to 104% of your city's
1986 local government aid from line 6. If your city's 1986 local government
aid per capita is less than $200, no amount is entered on this line.
34. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $200.00: If your city's
1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, your city's 1987
local government aid cannot exceed 105.8% of your city's 1986 local
government aid from line 6. If your city's 1986 local government aid per
capita is $200 or greater, no amount is entered on this line.
35. MAXIMUM AID IF 1986 LGA PER CAPITA IS LESS THAN $200.00: If your city's
1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, your city's 1987
local government aid also cannot exceed $208 per capita, based on your
city's 1985 population estimate from line 31. If your city's 1986 local
government aid per capita is $200 or greater, no amount is entered on this
line.
36. FINAL MAXIMUM AID: If your city's 1986 local government aid per capita
is $200 or more, this is the maximum aid amount from line 33. If your
city's 1986 local government aid per capita is less than $200, this is
the lesser of the two maximums from lines 34 and 35.
37. 102% OF 1986 LGA: Cities of the first class are guaranteed a 1987 local
government aid amount at least as great as 102% of their 1986 local
government aid. For all other cities, no amount is entered on this line.
38. PRELIMINARY 1987 LGA: This is the lesser of your city's 1987 local government
aid after the appropriation limit from line 30 or your city's final maximum
aid from line 36. If your city is a city of the first class, this amount
cannot be less than 102% of your city's 1987 local government aid from
line 37.
39. REDUCTION FOR STATE COSTS: The 1985 Legislature provided that one -half
of the annual cost to the State Demographer of developing population and
household estimates for local units of government is to be deducted each
year from the local government aid distributions. The total $16,000
reduction for this purpose has been allocated on a pro rata basis to all
county governments, cities and towns entitled to receive local government
aid in 1987. The reduction amounts to .005028% of your city's preliminary
aid.
40. FINAL 1987 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the amount of local government
aid your city can expect to receive in 1987. It is equal to your city's
preliminary aid from line 38 minus the reduction for state costs from line
39.
