Park Nicollet HOSPITALS AND CLINICS Yi Hospitals&Clinics of Minnesota l� Fiscal disparities report expanded in 2005 by Bob DeBoer Minnesota's visionary mechanism for regional tax -base sharing, commonly referred to as "fiscal disparities," has collect- ed and distributed commercial -industrial (C/I) tax base for 31 years in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. This year in our annual report on fiscal disparities, we have expanded our coverage to include all 182 cities and towns that participate in the fiscal disparities program. To most easily view this year's data, see Table 1, "2005 Tax Base Sharing by County" and Table 2, "2005 Tax Base Sharing at a Glancel' To view data ori - all 182 cities and towns;°visit the.Citizens- League website..at www.citizensleague.net.. The Minnesota Legislature passed the fiscal disparities law in 1971, and—after an unsuccessful court challenge—it was implemented in 1975. The law requires cities in the metropolitan area to con- tribute 40 percent of the growth in their commercial -industrial (C/I) tax base since 1971 to a region -wide fiscal disparities ' pool. This tax base is then redistributed to participating communities based on.,a for- mula hat takes into account a city's,popu- lation and the market value of all property in the jurisdiction:' If a community's market value per capaci- ty; otherwise known as "fiscal capacity," is greater than the metro average, it receives less from the pool than it contributes. If a community's market value per capita is less than the metro average,- it receives more from the pool that i t contributes. The "ta lbase contributed to the pool is taxed at a rate equal to the average metro tax rate and then the revenue generated by the pool is sent to each community according to the amount of tax base awarded to that community. A major advantage of this arrangement is that by applying a uniform regional rate on a portion of all C/I property, the tax burden on comparable pieces of C/I prop- erty varies less from one jurisdiction to another across the region. In addition to reducing fiscal disparities between neighboring communities, tax base sharing is intended to promote region- al planning. By ensuring that all communi- ties in the metro area benefit from valuable C/I tax base, tax base sharing discourages communities from competing against one another for development and encourages them to accept certain types of develop- ment that generate less tax base but serve regional purposes, such as parks, nature reserves or affordable housing.

The goal of promoting more orderly development is best described in the report "Minnesota's Fiscal Disparities Programs," published by the Minnesota House of Representatives Research Department: "Communities generally believe that commercial and industrial properties pay more in taxes than it costs to provide ser- vices to them. This encourages communi- ties to compete for these properties by providing tax concessions or special ser- vices. Tax -base sharing may reduce this competition, thereby discouraging urban sprawl and reducing the cost of providing regional services, such as sewage and transportation." The data presented each year by the Citizens League has been focused more on the distribution of fiscal resources. In order to also track the goal of orderly regional development, we again present the data (first presented in 2004) that aggregates the fiscal disparities data by 1) The composite of local plans submitted to the Met Council and by 2) Planning areas contained in the Met Council's 2030 Framework. The composite of local plans reveals that almost $8.8 million in tax base has been distributed in 2005 to areas that are outside the proposed 2020 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and are non-agricul- tural and rural. The 2020 MUSA line represents the area where the Met Council is best posifi d 16; provide services efficiently and less expensiveiy. for the growth'#hat is occurring in the metro area. The areas outside the 2020 MUSA line are generally where more sprawling and potentially more expensive development is occurring. The $8.8 million gain in tax base for these areas is down from $9.4 million in 2004 (see Table 4). Another way to measure this dynamic is by looking at the planning areas in the Met Council's 2030 Framework. This data set shows that $7.2 million in tax base—down from $7.7 million in 2004—has been distrib- uted in 2005 for areas designated diversi- fied rural and rural residential (see Table 5).

Without tax base sharing, communities with lower value tax bases are forced to impose a higher tax rate on their property owners in order to deliver a basic level of public services. At the same time, communities with higher value tax bases, which exist, in part, as a result of the regional deci- sions about infrastructure, can impose a lower tax rate and still raise the amount needed to provide basic services. It is important to note that even though fiscal disparities shares a signifi- cant amount of C/I tax base, it does not fundamentally change which communi- ties have the greatest amount of C/I tax base and which communities have the least C/I tax base. The effect of fiscal dis- parities, therefore, is to reduce the disparity between communities in amount of C/I tax base, not to fundamentally alter who has the most tax base and who has the least (see Table 3). To see how tax base was redistributed in 2005, see Figure l—a map that illustrates the net change in tax base by municipal boundary.

Qvale, Public Services Manager SUBJECT: Metro Mobility Service City of Plymouth The Metropolitan Council is proposing fare increases and service cuts to Metro Mobility, a transit service for people with physical disabilities. The proposed changes will affect Plymouth residents. Metro Mobility provided the following information about ridership in Plymouth. Metro Mobility provides more than 120,000 trips in Plymouth annually. Metro Mobility has 452 certified ADA paratransit registered riders that live in Plymouth. This indicates the number of Plymouth residents using the service. METRO MOBILITY RIDERSHIP STATS FOR 2004 Type of Service Metro Mobility From Plymouth to Plymouth From Plymouth to all other cities All other cities to Plymouth Demand Service 1,985 16,828 17,002 Agenc Service 9,239 37,405 38,304 Total 11,224 54,233 55,306 On the above table, Demand Service is individual service. Agency Service is larger group service that goes to locations that provide adult day care, adult training facilities, or similar services. Agency Service makes up 70% of the total trips. Demand Service comprises 30%. The 2005 Potential Metro Mobility Service Area map is attached. The proposed reductions in Metro Mobility would eliminate service in Plymouth. Metro Mobility has asked me to make the following points about the potential service map. METRO MOBILITY SERVICE CITY OF PLYMOUTH PAGE 2 The potential Metro Mobility service area, as illustrated on the map, exceeds the minimum requirements for service under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The map provides for service one mile on both sides of noncommuter regular routes. The ADA requires service to be provided at a minimum of three-quarters of a mile on both sides of such routes. Please note the following limitations of the map information: The information presented is an estimate based on information provided by Metro Transit and is subject to change. The exact boundary of the service area boundary is not yet established. As a result, it is not advisable to draw conclusions (or detailed maps) about what would be included in the potential service area at the boundary. Some areas appear to have no fixed -route service but are included in the potential service area. The reason is that the ADA does not allow "islands" to exist that are completely surrounded by a contiguous service area. City staff will inform Plymouth riders and Plymouth transit providers of the proposed fare increases and service cuts so they have the opportunity to contact local legislators, submit written comments about the proposed service cuts and fare increases, or attend public meetings on the topic. attachment: 2005 Potential Metro Mobility Service Area cc: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager c� CADocuments and Settings\pgvale\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKD\CC memo Metro_Mo_03_30_05.doc 2005 Potential Metro Mobility Service Area (Preliminary Draft) ' ......: ADA Eligble Routes mPotential Metro Mobility Service Area Current Metro Mobility Service Area CD Transit Taxing District J NOTE: This map represents the potential Metro Mobility/County ADA service area.

Ronald Holden 1071332 nd Ave N Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Mr. Holden: This letter is being sent to all the residents on 32nd Avenue who jointly share lake access rights over park property on Medicine Lake. It's that time of year when I start getting calls from realtors and citizens asking what they can do with this access. One of the more common questions is, "If I sell my property, can I tell someone they may put a dock on Medicine Lake?" People also inquire about how many boats they can have, can they launch boats and can they store boats. In the last few years, the number of docks, boats and lifts has grown dramatically. Most of this growth has taken place on park property not even close to the easement access granted in the deed. With this increase in equipment on the shoreline, we have started to receive a number of complaints and inquiries about the upkeep and look of this park property. It is with this in mind that I would like to invite you to attend a meeting on Wedn., April 16, at 6:30 p.m., right at the park property at the end of 32nd Avenue. The purpose of the meeting is to try and develop a management plan for this property that clearly identifies for all the property owners involved what they can and cannot expect with regard to using park property. I would request that no one put a dock or lift in the lake until after this meeting has been held. It is my desire that we can jointly develop a management plan that treats everyone involved in this issue fairly. This includes people that currently have boats and docks on the property and those that do not. I would hope that every family would have at least one representative at that meeting, even if you don't currently have a boat or a dock. Your input on a management plan will be important to the success of our work. Thank you for your time and interest in this matter. I look forward to seeing you on April 16 at the lake.

At the conclusion of a fire training exercise last week, our Tower 11 became stuck when an asphalt fire lane gave way under the truck. The truck became mired in what can only be described as a mess of asphalt chunks, class five rock, clay, and water. After several hours of working to remove the vehicle with a heavy-duty tow truck, we called Scott for help. Without hesitation, and though it was very early in the morning, he came to assist us, and brought along Craig, Brandon, and several pieces of heavy equipment. With their help, we were able to free the truck in short order. When the vehicle was towed to the Public Works garage, Tom was there waiting for us. He immediately went to work on the truck, and had it back in service within several hours. I have known and worked with these men for a number of years, and have always found them to be not only extremely competent (the highest compliment I believe I can pay anyone), but also very caring. They regularly go out of their way to help us, and they always represent your department very well. I was not at all surprised when they volunteered to help us with this project. Their efforts, however, truly went "above and beyond" and they should be appropriately recognized. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me at (763)509-5132.
