Res. No. 93 -259
WHEREAS, legislation (SF 1570) has been introduced in the Minnesota Senate
which would freeze the property tax levy in 1996 at the 1995 level; and
WHEREAS, SF 1570 would also prohibit Plymouth from issuing bonds for
trails and open space acquisition this year, even if the voters specifically approve
of the bonds at a May 23rd referendum; and
WHEREAS, SF 1570 would not adequately provide for the continuing growth
of the City and the necessary services related to that growth; and,
WHEREAS, SF 1570 would generally remove local control over tax and
spending decisions for local services; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth has not raised actual taxes paid by property
owners for City services for the last two years and does not require legislative
mandates to control taxes at the local level.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
