The HACA amount certified for your taxing district on the enclosed form is to be deducted by you from your levy before certification to the county auditor. This is the same procedure that was used last year. The levy amount you certify to the county auditor will be used to calculate the initial tax rate for your district. Iron range and seven - county metro taxing districts please note that the county auditor will reduce your certified levy by the fiscal disparity distribution tax before calculation of your initial tax rate. 1999 aid reductions due to the establishment of a TIF district are currently being calculated. If your taxing district is affected, a revised HACA certification will be sent to you by September 1, 1998. You are to deduct HACA from your levy both in total and by levy purpose before certification. HACA may be deducted entirely from one levy purpose, partially from a number of levy purposes or proportionately from all levy purposes. There is no specified HACA allocation procedure to be followed. HACA should be used to reduce net tax capacity based levies, however, it may be used to reduce market value based referendum levies if the net tax capacity based levies are reduced to zero. An example of a certified levy calculation showing the HACA deduction is on the back of this letter. Most counties will provide taxing districts with a form to use in certifying payable 1999 levies that will follow the procedures outlined in the example. If the deduction of HACA results in a total certified levy after HACA of zero for payable 1999, be sure to verify to your county auditor that you did have a levy before HACA. Please coordinate the certification of your levy with the county auditor so that no misunderstandings occur. In addition, at your taxing district's Truth in Taxation meetings this fall, you should explain which levy purpose or levy purposes are being reduced by HACA for 1999. If you have questions concerning the calculation of your payable 1999 HACA, please call Shawn Wink at (651) 296 -3394.

For purposes of this example, it has been deducted proportionally from all levy purposes. For this example, General Fund HACA = ($600,000 / $1,600,000) X $1,200,000 = $450,000 ** Levy After HACA = Levy Before HACA - HACA For this example, General Fund Levy After HACA = $1,200,000 - $450,000 = $750,000 **' HACA is first deducted from net tax capacity based levies. If HACA reduces the net tax capacity based levy to zero, the remaining HACA may then be deducted from market value based levies.

The notice you received dated July 23, 1998 should be discarded since it reflects an error made in the distribution of local government aid to the cities. The letter dated July 23, 1998 and mailed with the previous notice is still valid for explaining the factors shown on the enclosed revised notice. For those cities subject to the overall levy limitation for the taxes payable year 1999 (cities of 2,500 population or more), the change in local government aid from the previous notice to the revised notice will also change the payable 1999 levy limitation by the same amount, but in the opposite direction. If the local government aid decreased, the levy limit will increase. If the local government aid increased, the levy limit will decrease. If your city is a levy limit city, a revised levy limit notice will be mailed to you within the next few days. I apologize for any inconvenience resulting from this recertification.

The notice also lists the factors used to determine your city's 1999 local government aid. Following is an explanation of these factors. 1. PRE -1940 HOUSING UNITS: This is the total number of housing units in your city that were constructed before 1940 according to the 1990 Federal Census. 2. TOTAL HOUSING UNITS: This is the total number of all housing units in your city (both vacant and occupied) according to the 1990 Federal Census. 3. PRE -1940 HOUSING PERCENTAGE: This is the result of dividing the total number of pre -1940 housing units (line 1) by the total number of housing units (line 2), multiplied by 100. 4. 1987 POPULATION: This is the April 1, 1987 population estimate for your city as determined by the State Demographer. 5. 1997 POPULATION: This is the April 1, 1997 population estimate for your city as determined by the State Demographer (for nonmetropolitan cities) or by the Metropolitan Council (for cities within the seven county metropolitan area). 6. POPULATION DECLINE PERCENTAGE: If your city's 1987 population (line 4) is greater than your city's 1997 population (line 5), this is the result of subtracting line 5 from line 4 and dividing the difference by line 4, multiplied by 100. If your city's 1997 population is greater than your city's 1987 population, your population decline percentage is zero. 7. 1997 TOTAL CLASS 3 REAL PROPERTY MARKET VALUE: This is the total 1997 (taxes payable 1998) Class 3 market value of all commercial, industrial, and employment properties in your city, before any adjustments for fiscal disparities and excluding public utility properties. These values are not equalized. 8. 1997 TOTAL REAL AND PERSONAL MARKET VALUE: This is the total 1997 (taxes payable 1998) real and personal market value of your city before any adjustments for fiscal disparities, but after any limited market value adjustments. These values are not equalized. 9. COMMERCIALANDUSTRIAL PERCENTAGE: This is the result of dividing your city's total Class 3 market value (line 7) by your city's total real and personal market value (line 8), and multiplying the result by 100. continued.... An equal opportunity emplover TDD: (612) 215 -0069 10. TRANSFORMED POPULATION: This is the result of multiplying your city's population (line 5), raised to the .3308 power, by 30.5485. 11. CITY REVENUE NEED: If vour citv's tnonulation is less than 2.500. your city's revenue need is the result of: a) 1.795919 times the pre -1940 housing percentage (line 3), plus b) 1.562138 times the commercial /industrial percentage (line 9), plus c) 4.177568 times the population decline percentage (line 6), plus d) 1.04013 times the transformed population (line 10), minus e) 107.475. If vour citv's vovulation is 2.500 or sreater. your city's revenue need is the result of: a) 3.462312 times the pre -1940 housing percentage (line 3), plus b) 2.093826 times the commercial /industrial percentage (line 9), plus c) 6.862552 times the population decline percentage (line 6), plus d) .00026 times the city population (line 5), plus e) 152.0141. The city revenue need is then multiplied by the ratio of the most recent implicit price deflator for state and local government purchases of goods and services to the 1993 implicit price deflator for state and local government purchases of good and services. (The March, 1998 and March, 1993 indices were used to compute this ratio). For determination of 1999 local government aid, this ratio is 1.137303. 12. PAYABLE 1998 CITY NET LEVY: This is your city's payable 1998 levy excluding your city's 1998 homestead and agricultural credit aid (HACA). If your city is located in the seven - county metropolitan area, the net levy for your city includes the fiscal disparities distribution levy. 13. PAYABLE 1998 CITY NET TAX CAPACITY: This is your city's 1997 (payable 1998) equalized net tax capacity. The net tax capacity excludes any tax increment financing (TIF) district value and any power line value. If your city is located in the seven- county metropolitan area, the net tax capacity excludes any fiscal disparities contribution value and includes any fiscal disparities distribution value. For cities that receive a TIF aid reduction, this value is adjusted by the amount of the city's payable 1997 qualified captured net tax capacity (see line 23 below). 14. TAX EFFORT RATE: This is the result of dividing the statewide total payable 1998 net levy for all cities by the statewide total payable 1998 equalized net tax capacity for all cities. The tax effort rate is the same for all cities. 2 i I 15. NEED INCREASE PERCENTAGE: This is the percentage that is needed to increase the total 1999 local government aid for all cities to the amount of local government aid appropriated for cities in 1999. The need increase percentage is the same for all cities. 16. CITY AID BASE: This is the total of your city's 1993 local government aid, 1993 equalization aid, and 1993 disparity reduction aid. 17. CITY FORMULA AID: This is the result of multiplying the need increase percentage (line 15) times the difference between a) the city's revenue need (line 11) multiplied by the city's population (line 5) and b) the city's net tax capacity (line 13) multiplied by the tax effort rate (line 14). 18. PRELIMINARY AID: This is your city's formula aid (line 17) plus your city's city aid base (line 16). 19. 1998 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID: This is the total amount of local government aid your city was certified to receive in calendar year 1998, before the reduction for state costs or tax increment financing. 20. MAXIMUM AID: For cities of the first class (Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth): The maximum aid is limited to the city's 1998 local government aid (line 19) increased by the aggregate percentage increase in aid for all cities from 1998 to 1999. For 1999, this increase is equal to two and one -half percent. For all other cities: The maximum aid is limited to 10 percent of the city's net levy for the taxes payable year 1998 (line 12) plus the city's 1998 local government aid (line 19). 21. 1999 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID BEFORE STATE COSTS: This is the lesser of your city's preliminary aid (line 18) or your city's maximum aid (line 20). 22. REDUCTION FOR STATE COSTS: Minnesota Statutes, Section 477A.014, Subdivision 4 provides for reductions in local government aid to finance certain state costs. All cities and towns receiving local government aid in 1999 receive a reduction for state costs based on their prorated share of the following amounts: Calendar Year 1999 State Demographer $ 16,000 State Auditor (Government Information Division) 217,000 Department of Administration (IISAC) 205,800 Department of Employee Relations (Pay Equity) 55,000 TOTAL $ 493,800 3 S 23. AID REDUCTION RESULTING FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TIF DISTRICT: Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399 requires that a reduction be made to local government aid (and, if necessary, to homestead and agricultural credit aid) if a reduction in aid results from the establishment of a tax increment financing district. If this provision applies to your city, the amount of the reduction is listed here. 24. FINAL 1999 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID AFTER REDUCTIONS: This is the total amount of your city's 1999 aid distribution (line 21) minus the reduction for state costs (line 22) and minus the reduction resulting from the establishment of a TIF district (line 23). NOTE: As of this date, any reductions to local government aid due to the establishment of a tax increment financing district (line 23 above) have not yet been determined. When these reduction amounts have been determined, our office will be sending out revised local government aid certifications to those cities to which this reduction applies. Your city's 1999 local government aid will be paid in two equal installments. The first half installment will be paid on or before July 20, 1999, and the second half installment will be paid on or before December 26, 1999. Minnesota Statutes, Section 477A.014 provides that a governmental unit may object to the amount of aid that the Department of Revenue has determined for it. No objection may be raised later than 60 days after receipt of this notice. Such objection should be addressed to Michael P.
