New Legislation Local Government Aid (LGA) for cities for 2008 is distributed and certified based on current LGA statutes including any changes enacted during the 2007 legislative session. There were several proposed modifications to the LGA formula and appropriation amount during the legislative session. You may have seen projections of what your city's LGA might have been if these proposals had been enacted Ultimately, none of these modifications became law. The only change to LGA enacted in 2007 was an increase in state costs deducted from LGA for the Tax Increment Financing Investment and Finance Division of the Office of the State Auditor. II. Issues and Information: For LGA payable in 2008, the total appropriation remains the same as for 2006 and 2007. However, due to aid caps and changes in formula factors, aid amounts shift among cities each year. Increases or decreases of $10 per capita or more are common (see chart). Change in LGA per capita 2007 -2008 More than $20 increase :`::` ;- 63 $10 to $20 increase $0 to $10 increase'';rvj =e° `:�*�135 ` No change t �- w :.; ^a. 72 $0 to $10 decline .. "r ..

The phase in percentage is 100% for 2008 and thereafter. Seven cities of the 27 taconite aid cities are excluded from the phase in. Also, for cities which had a 2002 population of less than 2,500 and a 2003, 2004, 2005 or 2006 population of 2,500 or more, the city revenue need is adjusted by a transition factor. The total LGA distributed in 2008 is $484,148,487. A total of $903,513 in state costs is deducted from the total appropriation of $485,052.000. This includes an increase of $397,000 for the Office of the State Auditor for oversight of tax increment financing as mentioned above.

The LGA plan in the conference committee report makes the following changes: ■ Includes the volatility fix supported by the city groups and contained in H.F. 1115 beginning with aids payable in 2009; ■ Removes the taconite aid offset in the current formula; ■ Adds additional city aid base for the cities of Newport, Taylors Falls, Rockville, Crookston and Brown's Valley; ■ Increases total LGA by $70 million beginning with aids payable in 2008 ■ Adjusts the caps on increases for aids paid in 2008 to 30% of the previous year's levy to allow the new money to be distributed via the formula. ■ Reflects the modification to the city of Mahnomen's tax base to immediately recognize the loss of taxes from the casino Because of the delay in the volatility fix, the new LGA will be distributed based on current need and tax base factors. Please know that final information for some of variables in the LGA formula are not yet available; the final certifications will be different.
