FOR YOUR INFORMATION....
1. NATHAN LANE ASSOCIATES -- On December 17 I was advised by
representatives of Nathan Lane Associates that they have elected not
to proceed with the sale of $3,200,000 in Industrial Development
Revenue Bonds. The Council will recall that the City allocated
approximately $1,900,000 of its allocation to support this project,
with the remaining $1,200,000 to be drawn from the State competitve
pool. Nathan Lane Associates have indicated that their reason for
not proceeding is that the issue "could not be made to work out in
our best interests". In accordance with Minnesota Department of
Energy and Economic Development criteria, we have requested
reimbursement of the 1% deposit originally supplied by Nathan Lane
Associates. The maximum amount which Nathan Lane Associates may
recover is one-third of the 1% deposit, or approximately $10,600.

2. PLYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT -- In December the City Council approved a
reorganization proposal for the Volunteer Fire Department including
reimplementation of the captain's position and revision in numbers
of lieutenants per station. As part of that proposal Council also
endorsed a revised method of selecting Fire Department officer
candidates. Attached is a memorandum from Fire Chief Lyle Robinson
with the results of the first evaluation selection process for
determining officers in the Fire Department. The results were as
follows:
Fire Station 1
Captain - Brad Johnson
Lieutenants - Dwan Elliott
Tim Lahti
Jim Nolting
Chuck Scharlau
Fire Station 2
Captain - Jim
Lieutenants -
Arbeiter
Kevin Leuer
Stan Scofield
Greg Leuer
Rick Luth
Chief Robinson believes that the selection process was a success and
that it will enhance the quality of our fire officer corps while
concurrently escalating fire fighter interest in obtaining
additional training and education.
Also attached is a memorandum from Fire Chief Robinson announcing
that, effective December 24, 1985, Don Erickson will retire with 22
years of service, having been hired on May 10, 1963 and Al Tombers
will retire with 20 years of service, having been hired on December
10, 1965. I am attaching copies of letters which I wrote to Don and
Al.
3. LAWSUIT DISMISSED -- The City Attorney's office has informed us that
the suit of Ed Heins against the City, Prudential Insurance Company,
and the Minnesota Department of Transportation with respect to
access to his property at Highway 55 and 494 has been dismissed. A
copy of the Judge's order is attached. The Council may recall Mr.
Heins sued claiming that the defendants inappropriately restricted
present as well as proposed to restrict future access to his
property.
4. BROOKLYN CENTER 2000 -- Attached is an article appearing in the
Minneapolis Star an Tribune last week reporting on the Brooklyn
Center 2000 project.
5. DEVELOPMENT GROWTH RESTRICTIONS -- Attached is an article appearing
in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune December 14 regarding pressures
to limit growth in suburban communities. This is a growing national
issue and while it is largely confined to the major growth centers
we can anticipate that its ramifications will be felt in our
metropolitan area. I anticipate the issue will be first reflected
in continuing and/or growing opposition to roadway improvements
which are obviously required to handle increased demands, not only
brought about by new residents, but the working population as well.

6. GROWTH PROJECTIONS IN HENNEPIN COUNTY -- This item, when viewed with
the item immediately above, may give the Council some food for
thought. Growth is going to continue to occur, and its management
remains our chief responsibility and challenge.
7. PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS FOR NOVEMBER -- Attached for your information
are copies of the public safety police and fire reports for the
month of November, 1985.
8. MAYOR'S CORRESPONDENCE:
a. A letter to Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gutekunst from Mayor Davenport
congratulating Mr. Gutekunst on his—recent appointment and
thanking him for their kind comments on the Plymouth community.
9. CORRESPONDENCE:
a. Letter from John DeHaven to Chief Carlquist thanking he and
members of the department for conducting a group of youngsters
through the Police Department.
b. Letter from John G. Greupner, principal, Wayzata East Junior
High School, to parents. As a result of two recent deaths, one
of which was a suicide, Mr. Greupner and his staff have taken
active steps to assist the students to deal with these losses as
well as how to deal with individual personal problems. In
discussing this matter with Mr. Greupner, I have been informed
that this effort will be going on in other schools in the
district as well.
10. COUNCIL VACANCY APPOINTMENT SCHEDULE -- Attached is a memo from
Mayor -elect Schneider establishing the interview schedule for the
four candidates for the council vacancy.
11. IMPERIAL HILLS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION - Last Friday evening I was
invited to a "emergency" meeting of the board of the homeowners
association. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the
association's entrance monument on Peony Lane north of C.R. 6. The
developer of the Imperial Hills plats, Ecklund and Swedlund,
constructed a large entry monument to the plat in the late 19601s.
The entry monument consists of two brick walls on either side of
Peony Lane with a small structure in the island in the middle of the
roadway. A large portion of the western wall lies within a
privately platted lot. The owner of the lot objects to the
placement of the wall on his property. There are apparently no
easements permitting the wall on the lot and therein lies the
difficulty. The homeowners association is seeking to work with the
property owner so as to insure that the wall remains in its present
location. I was invited to the meeting because the association
wanted to know what the City's position was with respect to the wall
and what assistance we could be to them to have the issue resolved.
I have indicated to the association that the matter appeared to be
one which could be resolved either through direct cooperative
CITY MANAGER'S INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
December 20, 1985
Page Four
negotiations between the parties or through litigation. I indicated
that we'd be prepared to meet with any of the parties at any time to
try to resolve the matter. The homeowners were also invited to
review the City's A files on the development in an effort to
ascertain whether or not those records indicated anything which
might reflect on the matter. I discussed the matter with the City
Attorney who believes that if the association is able to demonstrate
that it has maintained the wall for 15 years (the wall was
constructed in approximately 1966) it would be possible for them to
have developed a legal right to continue to maintain the wall even
though it may be located on private property. One of the homeowner
representatives, Mr. Jelle DeBoef, has indicated to me that he will
be working with his private attorney to determine whether or not the
association might have a legal "right" to continue to maintain the
wall. I will keep the Council informed on this issue as it evolves.
12. ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES (AMM) BULLETIN -- The
attached bulletin from the AMM contains several pieces of
information of interest to the Council. First is a reminder that
the AMM will be holding its legislative policy meeting on Thursday,
January 9. Also, Pat Neils has been a member of the board of
directors of the AMM and her position will be vacant the first of
the year. If any member from the City Council of Plymouth wishes to
apply for this position I will like to know in order that I may let
Vern Peterson know prior to January 6. You will also note that the
AMM will be considering two revised policies, one on local
government aid (LGA) and the other on fiscal disparities. It is
important that the Council inform me of any problems you have with
these draft policies as they should be presented to the AMM prior to
the JaFivary i meatiFig.

SUBJECT Election Evaluation Results
The following is the result of the first evaluation selection
procedure for determining the officers in the Fire Department.
Captain Station I, Brad Johnson; Captain Station II, Jim
Arbeiter. Lieutenants Station I, Dwan Elliott, Tim Lahti,
Jim Nolting, Chuck Scharlau; Lieutenants Station II, Kevin
Leuer, Stan Scofield, Greg Leuer.
I will be appointing Pick Luth as Lieutenant in Station II to
complete that station's complement of officers.
I feel that the selection process was handled extremely well
by the members of the Fire Department. The relative rankings
of each of the candidates in most cases was very close. This
indicates to me that the members of the department did in fact
take the rating procedure very seriously. I am pleased with
the results and I feel that this corps of officers will be
able to work together well and provide the continued leadership
necessary for the department.
I feel that this election procedure will generate much more
interest in further training and education by the members of
the Fire Department. This will continue to add to the profes-
sionalization of our department.

City of Plymouth; The )
Prudential Insurance Company
of America, a New Jersey
Corporation; and the State

of Transportation,
Defendants.
---------------------------------------------------- _-------
C"
The above -entitled matter came on before the u4ersigne•B,
Judge of District Court, sitting without a jury, commencing on
October 21, 1985, for trial on questions of law regarding
whether there was a taking by the defendants and whether defendants
owed a duty to the plaintiffs which may have been breached.
George Gubbins, Esq., appeared on behalf of the plaintiffs.
James Thomson, Esq., appeared on behalf of the City of Plymouth.
Robert L. Schnell, Jr., Esq., and Kristin Siegesmund, Esq.,
appeared on behalf of The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
James Donnelly, Esq., and Louis Robards, Esq., appeared on behalf
of the State of Minnesota.
Upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein, and
upon the evidence adduced at trial, the Court hereby makes its
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The plaintiffs are owners of a parcel of land located
at the northeast corner of the intersection of Highway 55 and
Interstate 494 consisting of approximately 1.36 acres of land
and described as Lots M, N, 0, P, Q, and portions of Lots F, G,
K, and L of Registered Land Survey 209. This land is located
within Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.
2. Two houses and a three stall garage are situated on
the above-described property. The plaintiffs occupy one house,
rent the other, and operate a plumbing business out of the garage.
3. The plaintiffs' property does not directly abut Highway
55; access thereto is available via Berkshire Lane, an unpaved
frontage road which enters Highway 55 in the middle of an exit
lane to northbound Interstate 494. Until 1982, the access point
permitted travel in both directions on Highway 55. In 1982, the
State closed the median crossover, thereby permitting access
only to the westbound lanes.
4. In November, 1980, The Prudential Insurance Company of
America (hereafter, Prudential) submitted a concept plan to the
City of Plymouth (hereafter, the City) for the development of
167 acres of land, adjacent to the plaintiffs' property, for
commercial, industrial, and office uses.
5. Said concept plan included a proposed road, to be known
as Annapolis Circle, which was to run along the eastern edge of
the plaintiffs' property, thus affording to the plaintiffs
another means of access.
6. On November 20, 1980, the City sent notice to the plaintiffs
of a public hearing to be held by the Plymouth Planning Commission
on December 3, 1980 for the consideration of Prudential's concept
plan. The plaintiffs and their attorney attended this meeting.
No action was taken.
7. On January 5, 1981, the City notified the plaintiffs that
:S=
the Plymouth Planning Commission would hold another public meeting
on January 15, 1981 at which the concept plan would be discussed.
The Commission recommended approval of the concept plan, and
the City Council approved it on February 2, 1981, with the
condition that access to Highway 55 be eliminated concurrently
with the construction of Annapolis Circle.
8. The City notified the plaintiffs by a letter dated April
13, 1981 that the Planning Commission would hold a hearing con-
cerning the preliminary plat of Prudential's proposed development
---on April 22, 1981.
9. Because of the proximity of the proposed development
to Highway 55, the City sent the preliminary plat to the State
of Minnesota for review, and was notified by the State, in a letter
dated April 16, 1981, that the Berkshire Lane access should be
closed as part of the development project.
10. The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council
at a public meeting on May 4, 1981, with the condition that the
access from Berkshire Lane to Highway 55 be eliminated concurrently
with the construction of Annapolis Circle.
11. On December 17, 1981, the City and Prudential entered
into a development contract in which Prudential agreed to construct
Annapolis Circle.
12. The final plat was discussed at a public meeting on
December 21, 1981, and the City Council approved both the final
plat and the development contract at that meeting. The final
plat has been recorded with the County Recorder.
13. On January 2, 1982, the plaintiffs purchased the final
9,000 square feet of their parcel when the State vacated part of
-3-
a State right-of-way.
14. The City required Prudential to assume legal liability
for the closing of the Berkshire Lane access to Highway 55.
Prudential objected. The City suggested, by letter dated April
28, 1982, that an acceptable alternative to the closure of access
would be the construction of two cul-de-sacs on Annapolis Lane.
Prudential accepted this alternative.
15. On May 24, 1982, the City Council approved an amendment
to the development contract at a public meeting. Pursuant to the
amendment, Prudential was authorized to construct two cul-de-sacs
on Annapolis Circle in lieu of completing Annapolis Circle as a
continuous street. This modification did not affect the plaintiffs'
existing access to Highway 55 via Berkshire Lane.
16. Throughout the period of public review of Prudential's
proposed development, the plaintiffs have objected to any closing
of their access to Highway 55.
17. Neither the City nor the State of Minnesota would
guarantee to prospective purchasers of the plaintiffs' land that
the Highway 55 access would remain open permanently.
18. Neither the City nor the State of Minnesota have
recommended the closure of the current Highway 55 access without
the provision of other means of access to the plaintiffs' property.
19. While the plaintiffs would prefer to have access to
Highway 55 via both Berkshire Lane and Annapolis Circle, they do
not want the latter completed if the former would be closed.
20. Annapolis Circle could be completed if the plaintiffs
were to petition the City to do so, but they have chosen not to.
-4-
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. This Court has jurisdiction over the parties and the
subject property involved in this litigation.
2. None of the defendants have done anything which constitutes
a taking of the plaintiffs' property.
3. There has been no inverse condemnation of the plaintiffs'
property.
4. None of the defendants have violated the plaintiffs'
right to due process of law.
5. None of the defendants owes a duty to the plaintiffs to
complete, or to require the completion of, Annapolis Circle.
6. None of the defendants owes the plaintiffs a duty to
assure the plaintiffs that their access to Highway 55 would never
be altered.
7. The plaintiffs have shown no right to relief.
ORDER FOR JUDGMENT
That the plaintiffs' complaint be dismissed with prejudice
and on the merits as to all defendants, and that each party shall.
be responsible for its own costs and disbursements.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.

MEMO
DATE: December 19, 1985

FROM: dames G. Willis, City Manager
SUBJECT METROPOLITAN COUNCIL PROJECTI0 FOR EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH
IN HENNEPIN COUNTY
The Metropolitan Council is currently in the process of updating its
metropolitan development framework guide. Part of this task involves
projecting population and employment for 1990 as well as the year
2000. I had previously reported on this to the Council and the data
has not changed. Nonetheless, some interesting comparisons can be
made from the data currently being used which may be of interest.
First, it is understood that while this data applies only to Hennepin
County, it does reflect that the County will remain healthy through
the year 2000 in terms of both employment and population growth.
Certain municipalities, including Plymouth, will disproportionately
share in both the growth of populatinn as well as emnlnvmPnt_ in the
terms of strictly numerical population growth, Plymouth is projected
to grow more rapidly than any other community in the County by 1990
followed very closely by Eden Prairie. Between 1990 and the year
2000, Eden Prairie is expected to grow more rapidly than Plymouth by a
slight margin. In terms of population growth as a percentage, using
1980 as a base year, several communities will exceed Plymouth
population growth rate.
In terms of employment, Plymouth is projected to add 14,000 new nobs
by 1990 and 25,000 jobs by the year 2000 over the 20,000 in 1980. In
terms of new jobs, Eden Prairie and Bloomington will exceed Plymouth
in growth through 1990 and we will be tied with Minnetonka. By the
year 2000 both Bloomington and Eden Prairie will continue to create
more jobs and Plymouth will be third in job creation.
The following table illustrates the continuing trend of both
population and particularly employment growth in the suburban
communities through the year 2000. For the following two tables I
have used the seven communities of Hennepin County represented within
the Metropolitan Legislative Commission. These communities are
Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove,
Minnetonka, and Plymouth.

It is interesting to note that the ratio of employment to population
in the suburban community continues to increase. In 1970, for
example, there were .26 jobs for every resident represented in the
seven MLC communities. In 1980 this had increased to .57', in 1990 it
is forecast to increase to .68 and in the year to .74. In the case of
Plymouth, our proportion of workers to population is even greater. In
1970 it was .36 workers per resident, in 1980 this had increased to
.63, while in 1990 it is projected to increase to .71 and to .79 by
the year 2000.
1 have not sought to seek comparative data for other communities in
the seven county metropolitan area. Doubtlessly there are other
communities, particularly in the southeastern metropolitan area, which
will also reflect significant growth in both population and
employment. Suffice to say that Plymouth continues to have a sound
economic future vis-a-vis the balance of the metropolitan area,
particularly in Hennepin County. Hennepin County is projected to
remain the most vibrant economic county in the area and, accordingly,
Plymouth should continue to share in that prosperity.

INTRODUCTION
The Metropolitan Council forecasts show continued gains in the number of
people, jobs and households in the Twin Cities Area through 1990 and 2000.
These preliminary forecasts are part of the update of the Metropolitan
Development Framework, the Council -s plan for orderly and economic change in
the region. The plan refers specifically to growth in regional facilities that
the Council oversees, such as sewers, transportation, parks and airports.
Generally, the higher the forecast numbers, the greater the demand on regional
facilities.
The Council will use the forecasts to plan for expected demands on regional
facilities and other services including health, aging and solid waste.
Regional commissions use the forecasts to design and stage their projects.
Local communities use them to guide planning for local growth and development.
The Council projected the following increases for the region by 1990: 17
percent in households, 9 percent in population and 21 percent in employment.
This is slightly above the population growth rate during the 1970s, but not as
high as the rates of the 1950s and 1960s. The forecasted growth rate for
households and employment is down slightly from growth in the 1970s. Growth
is expected to continue from 1990 to 2000 at a slightly lower rate than
forecasted for the 1980s.
REGIONAL FORECASTS
Population and employment forecasts* were done separately and then compared.
The demographically based forecasts used the cohort survival method. Regional
employment forecasts resulted from a regression analysis comparing local and
national trends. The demographic method yielded population, household and
labor force forecasts. The labor force and employment forecasts were compared
to ensure computability between them. The regional forecasts are shown below.

FORECASTS FOR CITIES AND TOWNSHIPS
Growth occurs throughout the region. In most instances, change can be under-
stood by examining local trends. In the suburbs, it is easy to spot; whole -
subdivisions and new office buildings appear in a short time. Construction
goes on in most communities during every economic recovery, even in some areas
that have been stable for years. In a few areas, growth trends run counter to
these economic cycles. Business expansion even occurs during recessions. In
turn, that causes construction in some areas during periods of general
decline. In the older, more developed areas, growth occurs in buildings left
*A description of these forecasting methods follows the tables.
by firms expanding to the suburbs or in buildings where other firms went out of
business. Office buildings and apartments replace single-family housing.
Industrial parks fill up and shopping centers try new marketing strategies and
tenant mixes. The forecast for each area considers the dispersed nature of
change, as well as regional and national trends.
Each minor civil division (MCD) was independently forecasted. These MCD
forecasts were totaled and compared to the regional forecasts. Individual
community forecasts were adjusted so that the total of MCD"s would equal the
regional forecast. This method reflects the regional forecasts, as well as
changes in rural areas, developing suburbs, older suburbs and the central
cities.
The region exhibits two interesting housing characteristics. Housing activity
has been about equal each year since 1970 on either side of a line drawn along
Highway 12. If one divides the region approximately along Highway 65, the west
side of the region has twice as much housing construction annually as the
east. The forecasts reflect these ratios.
In each MCD, the procedure followed was to forecast households first, then
population and finally employment. Close examination of recent trends helped
determine each city's or township's forecast. For example, the household
change was examined from the 1970 to the 1980 Census. Annual residential
building permits furnished another indicator of change. The permits showed the
types of housing units constructed each year between 1970 and 1984.Finally,
growth limitations were examined; for example, additional land supply
and
zoning restrictions. Information about these factors came from local plans and
contacts with local planners.
CONCLUSION
The tables that follow show the preliminary forecasts. They may be revised
after city officials and others examine them. Later this year, the forecasts
will be adopted by the Council as part of the Metropolitan Development
Framework. A more detailed discussion of the MCD household, population and
employment forecast methodology follows the tables.

Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gutekunst

Plymouth, MN 55441
Dear John and Diane:
I am a member of the Golden Gopher Touchdown and Goal Line
Clubs so I have had more than a passing interest in who
would be selected as the Gopher head football coach. How
pleased was I and so many others when John was selected, but
what I didn't know was that the two of you and Brian, Jon
and Michael were all residents of Plymouth!
I don't ordinarily read the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch
but I did come across a copy of Charley Hallman's story on
Diane. I was filled with pride when Hallman reported that
Diane "loves living in Plymouth. We have great neighbors
and a beautiful home - we have apple trees and willows in
the front yard. We are very happy here and don't plan on
moving".
So, to both of you let me extend my warmest best wishes.
I share with you your love of Plymouth and especially its
neighborhoods. So, John, when Notre Dame comes calling some
day, I will remind you of Diane's comments so that you can
tell Father Joyce how much you truly enjoy Minneapolis -St.
Paul and Plymouth especially.
John, I will also look forward to meeting you personally at
one of the upcoming Goal Line recruiting lunches that Rod
Wallace is coordinating. No one could be more pleased than
me and the City Council to know that you and your family live
in one of the great cities in the United States. What else
is there to,sa

Plymouth Police Department

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Dick,
Thank you for arranging to put up with me and the young men of our Tiger
Cubs group at the police station yesterday. We had a terrific time,
and I'm sure that each of the kids (and me, for that matter:'.) learned
a few things that we didn't know before.
Nia Wronski was great. She was ready for us as soon as we arrived, and
kept the tour running briskly throughout. I'm not just sure what the
highlight was, but I offer the following quotes overhevdfrom the kids
as we were returning home:
-"I didn't know they wore a helmet."
—"I-ere's nothing to do in that jail except go to the bathroom:"
-"Those police look just like the police on TV."
-"I don't know who stole that red car, but I'm sure glad it
wasn't me."
-"If my brother tries to take my ruler, I'm going to punch him out."
Perhaps you know that Nia handed us off to Officer Thompson for a tour of
his squad car. Like Nia, he did a great job with the kids, explaining
the functioning and purposes of his equipment in a manner easily understood
by the young ones. Incidentally, I've met Officer Thompson previously.
My son and I were raking the yard this autumn when he came by on patrol.
The three of us visited easily for 5 minutes or so, and he gave a few of
the football cards to Bob. Both officers are excellent representatives.
They reflect the best on their associates, including their chief, and on
the department.
Again, thank you for putting this together so hurriedly. I owe you one.
Best wishes for a merry Christmas.
Cordlly,

Dear Wayzata East Parent,
T --ID
PLYMOUTH, MN 55441 (612) 4754660
December 12, 1985
Our school family has suffered two painful losses this year.
Both Candy and P.J. have left us tragically, leaving a host of
friends to feel the emptiness.
We thank so many of you for the way you have supported the
families of these young people. We also appreciate the caring you
have shown towards and through your children. Our students and
staff have been a source of strength and encouragement during a
difficult time.
We share with you a deep concern that all of our students
would understand how valuable they are to us as a school family.
Our efforts in the coming months will be focused on reinforcing that
message through a series of class presentations and discussions. We
want our students to understand the process of grieving and where to
find help if they feel a need.
As parents, your continued support and encouragement for each of
our students is vital. Let them know they are loved, in spite of all
the difficulties during the junior high years. As you always have,
join with us to encourage, support, and foster our most valuable
resource, our children.
Sincerely,
John G. Greupner J

ADDITIONAL POLICIES FOR ADDENDUM
POLICY CONSIDERATION
I.C.3 LGA FORMULA AND INCREASE FOR 1987 (New Policy)
Local government aid is an important component of the
state's property tax relief system. It complements cities
other major revenue source, the property tax. A
complementary revenue source for cities is ncessary because
a city's ability to raise revenue from the property tax
does not necessarily coincide with the cost of the services
which that city must provide to its residents. Due to the
payment schedule shifts enacted in response to a past state
budget crisis, aid for calendar year 1987 is paid out of
state fiscal year 1988. Because cities must set their
levies in the fall of 1986, the 1986 legislature must
establish the funding level and formula for 1987 during this
legislative session. Property tax relief has always been a
high priority for the state. Cities will continue to try to
keep levies down as far as possible but will find that a
tough challenge in 1987. Federal revenue sharing has been
used by many cities to fund essential services and will be
completely eliminated for 1987. Further budget pressure will
likely result from continuing increases in insurance,
implementation of comparable worth studies, increased debt
service costs, and cutbacks in other intergovernmental
revenues. A six percent increase in LGA will assist cities
in avoiding sudden large increases in property taxes.
THE AMM STRONGLY SUPPORTS CONTINUATION OF THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AID PROGRAM AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE
STATE'S PROPERTY TAX RELIEF SYSTEM. IT IS RECOMMENDED "
THAT A SIX PERCENT INCREASE IN THE TOTAL APPROPRIATION BE
AUTHORIZED FOR 1987 (STATE FISCAL YEAR 1988).
THE FORMULA USED TO DISTRIBUTE 1986 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID
(LGA) SHOULD BE CONTINUED FOR 1987. THERE SHOULD BE A
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY AND REVIEW OF THIS DISTRIBUTION FORMULA
AND ALTERNATIVES PRIOR TO THE 1987 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THE
AMM IS PREPARED TO ASSIST IN THAT STUDY. MAJOR CHANGES IN
THE DISTRIBUTION FORMULA SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE 1987
LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

WOULD CAUSE DRASTIC SINGLE YEAR SHIFTS IN PROPERTY TAXES.
G-3 ELIMINATE EXEMPTIONS.
The Fiscal Disparities act contains various exemptions which
operate contrary to the philosophy of fiscal disparities
because they allow growth to be sheltered from contributions
to the metropolitan pool. Tax increment districts can be
made subject to fiscal disparities by allowing the valuation
to be frozen dependent upon the outstanding indebtedness of
individual districts. This approach will narrow the
differences in the way pre -1979 and post -1979 tax increment
districts have been treated under the fiscal disparities
program. The state deferred property taxation and
redevelopment project property tax exemption programs are
thought to have an inconsequential effect on fiscal
disparities. However, from an equity standpoint,
development projects constructed under these programs should
not be exempted from fiscal disparities. The special
exemption for South St. Paul resulting from its EDA status
should be removed and South St. Paul should begin to make
contributions to the fiscal disparities pool using the year
in which the special exemption was terminated as the base
year. The special exemption for the Minneapolis -St. Paul
International Airport also should be removed. Although the
airport has no population, it should be entitled to a
distribution from the fiscal disparities pool based on the
metropolitan distribution average.
THE AMM SUGGESTS ENDING THE EXEMPTIONS CURRENTLY PERMITTED
FOR, STATE DEFERRED PROPERTY TAXATION AND REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAMS, THE CITY OF SOUTH
ST. PAUL AND THE MINNEAPOLIS -ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT,
BUT ONLY IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF
THE PROJECTS, DISTRICTS, AND COMMUNITIES AT LARGE ARE
MAINTAINED WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY TAX SHIFTS OR
INCREASES WITHIN ANY CITY.
EXEMPTIONS FOR PRE 1979 HRA TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS SHOULD
CONTINUE EXCEPT THAT NEW PROJECTS CREATING NEW VALUE BEYOND
THAT NECESSARY TO RETIRE EXISTING DEBT SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO
FISCAL DISPARITIES CONTRIBUTION.
G-4 BASE YEAR.
Fiscal disparities contribution is 40% of all commercial and
industrial growth including inflation since 1971. As time
progresses with growth and inflation the contribution
amount moves closer and closer to 40% of all commercial and
industrial property, although mathematically 40% cannot be
2c
Although the overall effect is slight, some communities such
as North Oaks and Sunfish Lake gain distribution by use of
population as *a minimum final index when the preliminary
index is less than the population which indicates that the
fiscal capacity exceeds twice the average.
THE AMM SUGGESTS THE REMOVAL OF POPULATION AS A MINIMUM IN
THE DISTRIBUTION CALCULATION TO ELIMINATE THIS INEQUITY.
G-8 ADMINISTRATION
A central agency should be identified to provide
administration for the fiscal disparities program.
Currently, _program responsibilities are assigned to county
auditors and assessors and the Minnesota Department of
Revenue. While the administrative auditor commonly is
regarded as the office responsible for the program's
administration, the division of responsibility and the lack
of definition surrounding the administrative auditor's
functions and authorities do not constitute centralized
administration for the fiscal disparities program. Without
a central program agency, it is difficult to ensure that
consistency is maintained in administration of the program.
THE AMM SUGGESTS THAT THE LEGISLATURE IDENTIFY A CENTRAL
AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
FISCAL DISPARITIES PROGRAM.
G-9 FISCAL DISPARITIES FUTURE EVALUATION
The AMM Fiscal Disparities Subcommittee met six (6) times,
reviewed in excess of twenty computer runs, as well as other
background data, and thoroughly discussed policy in addition
to technical issues. Besides the policies being recommended,
various issues were discussed but not recommended for
adoption at this time. Some of these include mitigating low
value city losses and high value city gains, use of median
sales -ratio, and sliding contribution rate for the first few
years of a porject. However, the major discussion issue
involved contribution/distribution limits.
The subcommittee spent much of its time reviewing computer
runs using variables limiting basically contribution and
discussing the policy issue of limitations. There is a
genuine concern to develop equity and yet limit on some
reasonable basis the amount of contribution as compared to
total valuation. Some concern was expressed on limiting
distribution as a percentage of total value but
substantially less than the contribution side. A number of
computer runs were made varying the limit from 10% to 15% of
